I am having a tidy up of Communities/etc so quite a few will go. There’ll be some warning, but it will be done before August.

Really? Because I’d imagine that took a lot of cooperation and teamwork, and you know what they say about teamwork…
It reminds me of this one :-
Stupid, yes. But funny. Which is what we need in the world.

Gabe Bell@lemmy.worldOPto tumblr@lemmy.world•TIL something that is mind blowing yet totally uselessEnglish16·12 days agoOpen excel (or any other spreadsheet app) or - at a push - the calculator app.
Type in 45 * 45. You will get 2025. Then try 44 * 44 and 46 * 46. You don’t need a PhD to be able to do that :)
Then you can use the same app to add up 1 - 9 and get 45, which will verify most of the post.
The cube thing is a little more complex, but you should be able to work it out using the multiply and the memory function.
(I checked it before I posted it :))
You’d think it would be used to that by now

Weird.

Gabe Bell@lemmy.worldOPto tumblr@lemmy.world•You learn the weirdest things on tumblrEnglish11·23 days agoThis is why I feel old - it’s been in use since I was a kid (waaaaaaaaaaay back in the 80s) and probably before that.
The fact people don’t know what it means… children!! You are all children!!!
(Or, you know, from countries where it’s not used?)

Gabe Bell@lemmy.worldOPto tumblr@lemmy.world•Now this would be a reason for the government to resignEnglish5·24 days agoSo basically I’m the only person who finds the fact that cross-cultural misunderstandings are leading to some Americans thinking the senior directors of the NHS are eating children is UTTERLY HILARIOUS?
Good to know.

I thought I was the only person who knew this reference!!!
Really? Cause I think an anti-joke would be :-
I took my girlfriend to the dance, but first I went to get her some flowers. It took me forever, because there was a very long line at the shop for flowers.
We arrived at the dance, and she asked if we could have our photo taken. But it took us forever because there was a very long line to get your picture taken.
I went to get her some snacks, but it took forever because there was a very long line at the snack bar.
Then she asked if I could get her some punch, and I went and got it and brought it back, and it took no time at all.
Maybe he is exaggerating :)
I think twenty seven distinct poems, from Ozymandias to Kubla Khan, from Funeral Blues to Green Eggs and Ham, from The Second Coming to Tiger, Tiger, from Eloisa to Abelard to Jabberwocky, are all featured in this one poem.
Which is quite impressive when you think about it.
