I learnt something the other day that I had never really thought about before. The moon in Australia is upside down. I mean obviously it makes sense, but still weird.

We didn't really notice when we were down there for a combined month. Unlikely we'll get the chance again. :australia:

Berries That Burn

Fartington Butts posted:

I was just listening to it and I realized "pokerface" is a song about blowjobs. And has incredibly clever ways of getting around censoring.

"I'll get him hard, show him what I got"
"Fuh-fuh-fuh-pokerface fuh-fuh-gently caress her face"

After hearing it over and over on the radio when it was fresh, I had the random thought

"buh-buh-buh-butt-fucker-face"

Is it the face a buttfucker makes? Or is the song telling you to butt gently caress her face? You decide.

I mention it every time I hear the song and kids aren't around.

Listening to the song just now to see what people are talking about here made me realize that Poker Face and Born This Way are two separate songs.

I recently discovered that if you press shift in Stardew Valley, you walk instead of running.

Which is how it should be, really.

That’s the default.

There’s an option for sadists to change it to default to walk, run on shift.

Except for 2D Mario platformers, only because muscle memory would make it weird. I don’t think I could ever get used to not manually holding the run button down when I’m playing those games. If I ever play them again, anyway.

Refers to a deuce coupe, a popular rat racer car.

Refers to dumping a 2 when playing poker.

Don't overthink the song. Pretty sure Springsteen wrote it just to be a weirdo.

The Springsteen version is also about cars.

Springsteen was told his debut album didn't have a good commercial single, so he just hit up a rhyming dictionary to try to make one.

Yes, Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" is about her liking girls and not the guy she's with. Hence the line about "bluffin' with my muffin". However, Kid Cudi's "Make Her Say" samples it and definitely is about blowjobs.

Lady Gaga also gave us that Christmas song about going down on her, so that's cool.

It's a stretch, but if the people checking the box are doing it specifically to cause the people who know that there are people checking the box pain, then the people checking the box are sadists.

I don't find anything weird about that image. I just always thought of it as "backwards-pointing arrow" and wondered why such a specific key existed as it's not exactly a character that you need for much in life.
