Sleeveless posted:Successful but also very much in the spirit of this thread, Tickle King just got bought by HBO after a successful premiere at Sundance. Dude is an actual TV journalist here in NZ so I don't think it's strange that this got funded especially for this weird as hell 'competitive tickling' expose.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/673299016/midnight-stranger A kickstarter inspired by an LP posted on these very forums.  It's one of those kickstarters that I'd probably want to succeed, but drat, does it look like insane ramblings mixed with computer effects back from the 90s. Especially if you're not familiar with the games.

That seems to be for width rather than size, which would be handy for people like the people in my mum's family who all have abnormally wide feet. Though they don't even carry their women's sizes anyway (all the women in my family have big man feet) so it doesn't matter. What the gently caress is up with using pictures of planes and stuff instead of punctuation? That's just obnoxious.

I've never read Cyanide and Happiness, but if this is the level of comedy they're doing, it'll.. well, it'll do gangbusters, but not for any logical reason: What the hell kind of line is "Aren't you meant to be at a funeral?" No one talks like that.

I don't know anything about physics but wouldn't a magnetic force strong enough to keep a grown human suspended or at the very least have a noticeable degree of resistance when you're standing on them probably also be more than enough to just make the shoes violently explode?

Unbelievably Fat Man posted:Tato salad His initial project was super low effort but strangely enough after it went viral and he got lots of TV interviews and made $55,000 he actually put in a huge amount of effort arranging a potato salad festival for hundreds of people. Also one of the reward pledges was "I will call your name out loud while I make the potato salad" and he ended up making a youtube video which was almost four hours long to document all that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gacUgnNHh7Y Now the Kickstarter/Indiegogo projects which tried to get in on the potato salad craze and copy his project .... those projects were super low effort.

I don't know what English you're thinking of but in the English most people on earth who speak English speak, "meant" is an appropriate substitute word for "supposed".
