I've yet to encounter anyone making lewd jokes about literal seagoing metal bawkses (though there are plenty of related puns used in the former).

I have! I could probably make a decent one involving godzilla :V

... I won't, but I probably could.

It's pretty rare, though. With a few exceptions, most non-fleshy, non-sex toy things don't come up very often in the lewd joke department. At least in english. I can't speak for other languages, and I'm pretty sure some of them get fairly out there in regards to their vulgarity.

I disagree 1000%.
Like I do many other things 1000%

I agree with this disagreement. Everything is innuendo.
...Holy crap this deodorant can has a phallic shape. O_o


Edit: The seasoning sachet of my cheapass instant noodles (still working on the same box by the way, such great value!) had a dehydrated pea inside, in addition to the usual bits of onion or whatever. This is somewhat unsettling. I feel like I should go throw rocks at a government building or something.

[Frumple]

Everything is innuendo, yes, but not everything is expressed as such with the same frequency.

Just had one of those moments where you dance your lilting tongue across the edge of your soda can, gently sponging the last vestiges of decadent honeyed nectar from the embrace of the folded aluminum sheeting.
However I had a taste for the delicious syrupy goodness then, and I upended it, lapping greedily at the amber waves sluicing wildly from its opening, viscous juices running down my chin as I moaned with ecstasy at the brimming flavors of sweet delicious
mountain dew.

[Orange Wizard]

Reminds me of an in-joke kinda thing with my old highschool friends. We would mention something completely innocuous, but in a suggestive tone, and occasionally accompanied by eyebrow-waggling and "if you know what I mean". As opposed to straight-up innuendo like Tack has demonstrated.
I never knew bringing in the mail could invoke such horror upon the minds of the innocent.

But mountain dew is disgusting.

Actually I'm drinking Solo, the "Thirst Crusher".
But y'know, I'm appealing to a wider audience here. Ain't all about me.
He writes passionately, his fingers flying tantalizingly across the keyboard, delicate motions setting the keys a quiver as he strokes out his thoughts and passions into the burning medium of the whispering datastreams.
His temper rises, furiously pounding the hapless, sweat-soaked surface, buttons wilting beneath his will as they coquettishly adhere to his demands.

"Correlation doesn't imply causation" has always seemed odd to me.  Probably because I keep thinking of "imply" in the "indirectly accuse" sense, instead of the "proves" sense.  Of course correlation doesn't prove causation.  It's evidence, but nothing to build a proof on.  Just a hypothesis.

To say something with certainty, you need a logical proof (ideally) or the scientific method (some degree of certainty).  And the scientific method isn't "build enough evidence for a strong case", like the legal system or something.  It's "attempt divination".  Make a hypothesis about future results, then do your best to contradict that hypothesis.  If the hypothesis holds up despite you and your peers' best efforts, it may be reliable enough to work with.

But yeah, correlation doesn't imply causation...  But it's a potential lead.  Just remember that typical real life systems can have dozens or hundreds of factors contributing.  An extreme case is a bit of drama I often saw growing up, where a certain event was given credit for winning a war or election.  Noooo.  Some events had a greater impact, but to flatly say "John Smith won because X" is to ignore the whole rest of the alphabet.  Even if a lack of X might have changed the result.  stupid 2-party system.

I also hate the lazy practice of judging a decision by its results.  Kinda related.  Ideally, a decision should be judged based on the information available at the time.  I would say more but instead I'm going to sleep.

My sunburn hurts.

Think of it like this: it seems likely that two correlated values have something in common but you don't know that one actually affects the other.

So, to go with the classic example: as amount of pirates decreases, global warming increases.  This is because the two ARE linked... by the shared factor of time, and nothing else.

I think that example was invented before Somalian pirates made news

I can't say I'm surprised. They do make for excellent puns, though.Second comment down. Yeah, that one.

Honestly though, half the reason I'm enjoying KanColle so much is because of all the opportunities for naval history references like that title.

I just learned that, due to scheduled time travel shenanigans, I'm going to miss September 24th in its entirety.
For some reason this makes me rather excited.

Sep 24 is a pretty crappy day anyway. You won't miss it.

that's my birthday

Good news, for him you'll be 21 for an extra year!

Yoink should be born on the 24th, then if he skips it he'll be endlessly young and view the world as progressing too quickly with every trip. Yoink will be much of a "living fossil" to future Homo novus humanologists.

DO IT, YOINK.
