Feature request on children's toys: don't start randomly saying "come play with me" at 3am

[Draignean]

How cooked d'you have to be to consider conspiracy theories a suitable over-dinner conversation topic?

'Dunno, seems perfectly normal to me. My family totally discussed conspiracy theories over dinner- it's good fun, it makes you think, and it's educational to boot. Granted, we're a pretty weird family, and we discussed them in the mindset of 'What validity do they have, how do you think people came to believe this, what would change if it was all true, how would you prove it, how would disprove it' so it just sort of becomes a series of thought experiments done over potatoes.

Thought experiments are always better with potatoes.

How can potatoes be real if our colons aren't real

[Tack]

Oh they’re real:
I assure you.

The volume settings on children's toys. I think that has come up in these forums before.  There should be a regulation on maximum allowable dB.

My sister has found out that putting some tape over the speakers is a good start. She suddenly felt better about the gifts her kids got after that.

Say hello to the most wonderfully named fish in the world, the bony-eared assfish.

Hallowed member of the cuck eels. Sorry, cusk. "the bodies of assfish are soft and flabby." Yep. Apparently the assfish needs to work on its glutes.

[EnigmaticHat]

I don't know man, soft and flabby sounds sounds like exactly what an ass should be.

Could always become a hipster and use Brave like me.

^{_{(Disclaimer: Do not know if Brave is actually a hipster thing, friend just recommended it to me because they were mad at firefox over something and sold me with a it's like firefox, but better line)}}

Is it better?

So far I like it.  I primarily like it's in built ad and script/ad blocker and the ability to pay websites directly to make up for the adblocking(cryptocurrencies only atm, but if I understand correctly using brave during this beta and with 'brave ads' on you'll get a few usd worth of non-transferable cryptocurrency free each month*.  There are plans to let you use real money in the future).

Downsides is that it does not currently have that closing last tab does not close the browser thing you mentioned (though the feature did get a positive response from the devs in the suggestion board) and while I understand it's firefox based(my friend told me it was made by the founder of firefox) it uses chrome addons(I have never used chrome addons before so I can't tell how well they mesh).

*May want to look up the exact requirements for the free cryptocurrency, I know I got some but I'm not certain what I triggered since I didn't get any when I first started.

I keep getting this weird image in my head of people walking around in togas chanting "To-Ga! To-Ga! To-Ga!" which turns the intended listener into a guy (even the girls!) wearing a toga and proceeding to do the same thing. I may have seen it in some comedy sketch or something (I know I saw an odd thing which turned people into scots...).

(I know I saw an odd thing which turned people into scots...).

I'm intrigued, tell me more.

[JoshuaFH]

Are you sure you're not thinking of the movie Animal House? I mean, that didn't involve magical sex changing, but the chanting is the same.

The scotsmen thing was Monty Python btw. No idea about the Toga thing.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

I have never seen a movie called Animal House. I may have seen a short clip at some point, but how many other ways can one chant the word Toga?

[Reelya]

Well you can check out the clip in question. This is spanished dubbed, but it covers the relevant parts:

It's not quite how you describe it, but the first scene is dudes chanting "Toga toga" over and over (they're advocating to have a toga party against the wishes of "the man"), then the scene cuts to them in togas, at the toga party, which includes guys and girls. So ... it sort of sounds like what you describe, but only if you interpret the scene cut as a "transformation" which it sort of is.
