Why on earth is your mom even involved to any degree whatsoever?

'Cuz he's my friend. I've known him since eighth grade.

I misparsed that.

I google searched "ora ora ora". Then I tried typing in "it was" and google autocompletes it as "it was me dio". Then even typing in "j" prompts google to autocomplete it as "jojo's bizarre adventure", "jojo bizarre adventure characters",  and other jojo related things starting with "j".

See, the two things I typed before "j" were also "jojo" related things. The point of this is that Google's search system can link what you searched for in the immediate past and predict what else you may want to search for and use those predictions for the suggestions for autocomplete. And it's not limited simply to letters in words. It matches topics.

So. When's our human-level intelligence getting released, Google?

It's pretty simple stuff, though, if you have a lot of data (and Google has a LOT of data). It has nothing to do with human intelligence at all, most animals are capable of doing context-related responses, too.

Quick google search says sometime between 2015 and 2045

no i was more referring to the fact that the word toon leads me to believe he is referring to toontown and that his problem friends wants to fuck a cartoon

[Greiger]

I've heard people call all kinds of mmo chars toons.  I've seen it used to refer to characters from everything from WoW to Planetside.

Never heard it used for DnD chars, but it's not a stretch.

[Sergarr]

Wonder what's the etymology for that word (toon) is. Must be something weird.

[TheBiggerFish]

*shrugs*
But yeah, toon=character-in-a-game.
Generally, I hear it in WoW, though.
What even was the game in question?

[SealyStar]

I always assumed the use of "toon" came from WoW due to its cartoony art direction, and then metastatized to other MMOs like everything else about Blizzard's overrated money printer.

[Sonlirain]

Toon is a term popularized by the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit; it commonly refers to distinguish characters appearing in cartoons from regular humans. Related to this usage are:

Toon (role-playing game), a role-playing game published by Steve Jackson Games in which the players take the parts of cartoon characters
Toontown Online, a 2003 online computer role-playing game

From wikipedia.
basically it's a derivative of "Cartoon".

Also according to Urban Dictionary.

The most annoying thing you can ever call one of your video game characters, often used in World of Warcraft by tools.
Douchebag326: Brb gonna switch toons
Gaylord158: It's called a character you fucking tool
