Is this the only thing they can think to get sociology students to do? I see mentions of this exact activity on Bay12 every year.

[Urist Imiknorris]

So let's say I've got an assignment for my sociology class to go out in public and purposefully break a social norm...basically, go out and be weird and do something most people wouldn't do, then write a paper about the experience. An example would be getting in an elevator and turning to stare at everyone else in the elevator instead of staring toward the door.

Ideas I've got so far include:

-Walking around campus and going to classes wearing only a towel. I'd have shorts and underwear underneath obviously, but the towel would hide it. Alternatively, make a towel toga and wear that.

-Standing around in a highly foot-trafficked part of campus and offer free hugs to random people walking by. Sign saying "free hugs" is optional. Asking people if they want a hug before hugging them is optional. Following and pestering people who reject the hugs is optional.

-Walking around campus and randomly breaking into song while walking behind people. Current idea for songs include "Call Me Maybe", Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme, or just constant bad beatboxing.

-Going around campus wearing a towel and offering free hugs to strangers.

Thoughts? Inputs? Suggestions?

Following people, narrating what they're doing at the moment in an overly dramatic voice.

Or a David Attenborough-like narration, of one of your classmates when they're doing the assignment.

I like this idea.

... probably be easier to just google it, but. What do lactose intolerant people do for cereal? If they don't want to just eat it dry, of course. The normal thing to do is to pour milk into it, but when that's not a wise option...

[Arx]

Almond, soy, or coconut milk.

[Helgoland]

Lactose-free milk is a thing. Soy milk tastes good, but takes some getting used to.
Isn't there a kind of lactase-containing pill that can do all the lactose digesting for you?

Hey is anyone who read through the entirety of the forum game Do not Trust the Rainbow Snail still around? I'm doing a little side project requires researching notable games throughout Bay12 history and need as much information as I can on that game in particular. Namely a summary of the main character, the setting, and plot. I would read it myself, but for some reason during that time period everyone used imageshack so most of the image files from that thread are gone.

[My Name is Immaterial]

This side project intrigues me. I would appreciate more information and/or updates on said project.

+1.

I also need a little help though: I need a list of rhetorical questions, about 10 in all. The more ridiculous, the better.

Fun fact, the only muscles in the human body that can push instead of pull are in the tongue and the penis.

But penis is not muscle???

[LordSlowpoke]

penis is connected to muscle

did you have even less sex ed than myself

[Sheb]

Muscle (or at least mucle fibers) can only pull. The rest is just clever use of levers.
