Pumas have been known to get jiggy with Leopards to create Pumapards, which has shaken up the whole big cat / small cat thing somewhat.

Oh my goodness! Their genetic mismatching turns things the opposite direction of the Liger and often makes smaller creatures!

Well, if you microwave your water exactly the wrong way, it will explode. Kettles don't do that.

Mythbusters did this and it's absolutely true. If your cup is perfect, unchipped glass (ie a really well made glass) it causes some kind of surface tension on the water that I think does some kind of pressurizing thing that keeps the water from boiling, and just touching the glass is enough to break this and send all the water bubbling like crazy, in essence exploding on your hand.

I forget which Canterbury Tale it is, but Chaucer wrote one story where a woman tricks a man into kissing her boyfriend's rear end as he lets out a huge wet fart. It's beautiful.

Canterbury Tales is as low-brow as you get. It's true, just add a few hundred years and people will think that common=great. The Redneck Comedy Tour will be seen as classic genius in the year 2437.

Holy poo poo Bob Kane was a crappy artist.

The Golden Age of comics really always surprises me for the fact that there's obviously zero quality control in place. This is most clear in cases like All-Star Squadron, the original venue for the Justice Society of America, where the early issues are basically "hey let's make up an excuse to tie together giving the heroes each a little 5 page story in one book to sell to kids", and the individual creators (who are NOT credited) each do their own work. So you end up with situations where you'll have like, The Atom, who's just a short guy that likes punching people in the face and is drawn worse than Bats up there, then you'll get Hawkman, where the artist lovingly draws each individual feather on his wing rig, and draws the wings so large that they actively refuse to fit in any frame he appears in.

Not really, it's the way most people do math mentally they just don't write it down and realize it. If I asked to you add 1127 to 94 you drat sure wouldn't be doing it in your head the way you'd do it on paper. You'd probably just round those numbers to something easy and say, it's about 1220 and call it a day. This is just that method of math, but exact. It really doesn't make much sense with single digit numbers but where the hell else are you going to start if you have to teach little kids.

I know I'm only contributing to the derail and pulling an "I'm oooold :corsair: moment, but I was taught the old fashioned way how to do math, and in my head that's exactly how I added those numbers. I saw you asking to add 1127 to 94 and my brain immediately pictured:

1127
+ 94
--------

And I sat and figured it out in at most 5 seconds, and I'm not the fastest math guy in the world by far. something cockamamie like (94 + 6) + (1127-6) or whatever adds more steps to the process and slows you down further, and is not in the least bit how my brain processes math.

Okay the pro core concept people have said enough to convince me that yeah, it's no worse than the old fashioned computational method. That said, they've also assured me how ridiculously delusional anyone is who thinks it's at all simpler than the old method. Note the proponents spending long paragraphs with complex formula to explain simple addition and claiming "see, that's how you do it in your head already!" And everyone taught the old way says "uh, no it's not." Then very briefly and succinctly explains the computational process.

It's not supposed to be simpler. It's supposed to be a possibly more complicated way that allows you to understand how and why it works. For addition it's not such a big deal but by the time you get to long division none of the students have a damned clue of why it's supposed to work besides "that's what teacher told us and it seems to give the right answer."

Unfortunately it's pretty unfamiliar for current teachers so you occasionally get bumbling/confusing explanations for problems inspired by the new standards.

And if people actually explained this instead of going on and on about how "It's how you already think of the problem in your head! :downs:" while everyone else was like, "uh, no you're full of poo poo" this derail would have ended much sooner. Thanks for that much better reasoning for the method, as I'm definitely the sort that have no freaking clue how something like dividing fractions is supposed to work in real life even though I can do it on paper.
