A chief is both a leader of a native American tribe and a rank of enlisted U.S. Sailor.

"Guy Gets a Letter From The Pentagon" r/humansbeingbros is so chock full of pure wankers. Is this patient zero of the "reply letter that unrealistically references every detail of the wacky/zany/cute initial letter so that an audience can read it and know exactly how wacky/zany/cute the writer is" trope?

When will stdh writers learn that real organizations, especially the government, won't list all of your funny punchlines in responding to you? If you even get an email response at all (which is EXTREMELY unlikely), it will be one or two lines. That's even ignoring the blatant lack of understanding of physics and just injecting a bunch of jargon in it to make it sound official. There may be some exceptions when someone isn't doing their job right, but if you email the military about something classified which that would most likely be, they would just redirect you to some secretary that will brush you off, if they respond at all. also that drawing looks a LOT more recent than 1978.

maswastaken posted:I kind of want to believe that One thing I've learned from emailing with people like that is they have no sense of humor and even if they like you you'll get two sentence responses instead of one. Even in response to a kid, you very likely aren't supposed to talk about the stuff in that email. I didn't even work for the military, just a government lab, and I'm 99% sure an email (or back then in fake timeline, a letter) like that would have gotten me fired.

If it was a real response back, why would he bother censoring the name of the Navy guy responder?

That letter is in fantastic shape for being 40 years old.

Anybody want to analyze the font and see if it even existed back then? (I remember this being a thing on something else a while back but I don't remember what)

Yeah, I can't come into work. I have 24 hour diabetes. Yeah, it's contagious. Doctor thinks I should be all right by Friday though. All right, thanks mate, see you then.

"No, no, no, we weren't just drinking soda until we puked! That's for amateurs." All I can think of is that "college hack" posted in the lifehacks thread a while back about how, if you want to get dismissed from class, just eat a cigarette butt and you'll puke within the hour and have an excuse! Because going to lecture is worse than eating a loving cigarette butt or, in this (fake) case, having a loving seizure?

I don't think high blood sugar cause seizures in the first place does it? Maybe a coma if it's really high? But not seizures.

(I remember this being a thing on something else a while back but I don't remember what) No-one used computers to print letters in 1978. It's supposed to be typed on a typewriter, and it's clearly not. It's obviously printed on a modern laser printer. Paladinus has a new favorite as of 09:17 on Jan 31, 2018 |

Either hyper- or hypoglycemia can cause seizures. As a matter of fact, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) actually lowers the body's seizure threshold.

I’m trying to nitpick the poo poo out of that letter but failing because I can’t remember if my orders and official letters in the Army had the Dept of the Army seal or the Dept of Defense seal. Basically that was the first thing that jumped out, saying Dept of the Navy but having the DoD seal. I don’t remember for sure though. It probably all had DoD on it The letter is clearly fake, though. Any EMAIL like that nowadays now would be sent on a Secret laptop over a SIPR just for having that info in it, so I imagine in 78 there might be a courier involved. The fact that no one would take the time to write a letter like that in reply is also relevant, if anyone bothered at all

Furia posted:How can you tell? Not being a smarts genuinely curious This is what something printed on a typewriter from that time looks like. You can see that every character slightly differs in its position, colour intensity, and they overall look very uneven compared to the letter in stdh. E: and with dot matrix printer, you can see dots of course.
