[King Zultan]

Laughing at your own jokes is normal, the people that don't laugh at their own jokes are the strange ones.

[heydude6]

Or actors in a comedy.

[Ziusudra]

Or comedians that hav told the joke 749 times.

[Frumple]

Minnie the Moocher has me idly wondering what the upper and lower bounds for counting a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes a million times in terms of time spent is

and

is there a way to factor in being high on opium? How long did the dream last?!

[EuchreJack]

I generally HAVE to laugh at my own jokes, so people know it's a joke. Otherwise, regardless of what I say, people assume I'm being 100% serious.

EDIT: Ok, here is an actual random question!

As I was logging into my work computer, I see that I was logged into the DF forum. I logged into the DF forum at home with my new home laptop, but closed the window at home. My phone sometimes is logged into DF.  How does the forum track & reconcile these three logins for the same account ala "Total time logged in"?

This is not a brag, even though when I started on these forums, I could only log in with my personal laptop...

[WealthyRadish]

I don't know how the software actually does it, but every time you take an action on the forum while logged in on any device it could compare the time between that action and your previous action and add the difference to your total time logged in. If the time difference between actions is greater than some arbitrary amount (like 15 minutes or something) it could discard it instead, treating that inactivity as time spent logged out (regardless of whether you're still logged in on a browser tab or whatever).

Do you allways play the same role among all your cliques, or are you the shiest one in some groups, and the most outgoing in others?

I myself am way more neurotic in french than in german entourage.

[Rolan7]

I kinda miss sleeping on a mat on the floor.  I think I did that for years.  I moved up to a futon-couch on a cheap rickety frame, but it was never the same and I sometimes slept on the floor instead.

Sometimes I sleep in my armchair on purpose, even now.  Why?
Do I still have no home, no one place to rest my head?  Do I seek the sensation of sleeping in my car again?

Am I so alienated from comfort?

[EuchreJack]

I occasionally desire to sleep under the bed.

[King Zultan]

I find it hard to sleep on soft beds so at home I sleep on a board with blankets on top of it.

[Rolan7]

This was just a typically melodramatic way for me to ask myself for a Blahaj

[delphonso]

I occasionally desire to sleep under the bed.

Feeling a bit monstrous, I see.

I do get the urge at times. Reminds me of travel and more adventurous days. Sleeping on friends' floors or strangers' rooftops.

[Great Order]

What's the name of those devices that make small, harmless and noisy electric arcs through the air?

[Eschar]

Tesla coil maybe? Though I usually see the bigger more impressive ones referred to.
If the arcs are inside a transparent sphere and possibly are multicolored, that's a plasma ball toy.

If the arcs are across a metal net on a stick that's one of those bug zapper things 

[Great Order]

Nah, it's neither. The ones I've seen come to a point and the electricity arcs off that.

I was asking because I saw a video where someone stabbed a dead prawn onto one, and all of the prawn's legs, antennae and other points started shooting arcs.
