Time Team. It's one of my all-time favorite TV shows. It was (and sort of is) a British archaeology TV show where real archaeologists have three days to uncover information about a site, usually in Britain. It was on for over 20 years. Most of the episodes are on YouTube.
AND YET I CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH!
Could you link some of your favourite episodes? I'd love to check it out!
I wish any of my friends were into fantasy /Science fiction. I can't sit down and have coffee with a friend to gush about the latest Brandon Sanderson book or talk build orders in Homeworld
The difference between town, zip code, school district, village, hamlet, and city where I live. I pay taxes to town A, by zip code is named after a hamlet in town B, our school district is named after town C. If you ask people where they live they will answer any one of these things.
In my opinion the town you pay taxes to is the best answer. The zip code, or location on your address, is deceptive because they are often named after small hamlets where the post office is. This small hamlet is a very distinct place where you probably don't actually live. School Districts are often named after the biggest town they pull from so if you are not from that town it's not really accurate. If you happen to be in a city or village that's a good answer. However hamlets are so small and local that anyone not from the immediate vicinity will have no idea what you're taking about if you say you are from there.
This is so true, and while i have never discussed the concept. I definitly adjust my answer based on the recipient.
From the name of the hill my house is on, for locals. Via hamlet,muncipiality, county,region. Up to : "the western part of norway, with the fjords and glaciers", to forigners. I have never had to go for northern europe, or northern hemisphere.
I am looking forward to the day i need "the third planet of the sol system", that will be an interesting day.
Morrowind lore and FNAF lore
I wouldn't call myself a Fnaf fan, but honestly I love the lore. Reading into it reminds me a lot of those kids in school who knew every detail about the Bionicle universe. I'm glad kids have something like that to get (reasonably) into.
It's also genuinely getting people into animatronics, both for restoring existing ones and creating new designs, which is pretty damn cool.
Oooh, then I have a question: what's your best guess as to what happened to the Dwemer?
Leading thory right now is that they transported themselves to another plane of oblivion using tonal manipulation.
The municipal waste management industry.
I even learned game dev in unity so I can work on a game about the waste management industry.
For context I dont even work in that field.
Quantum entanglement and string theory, but only when im super stoned.
The parents who misunderstood intermittent punishment and created a generation of kinksters. Woohoo.
I just talk about my stupid interests all the time. Do you all not do that?
my mental issues 🥴
Wanna have a go? I'd be happy to listen, as far as is possible through text :)
Currently? GURPS. It's such a fascinating TTRPG. On one hand, it's extremely simple (roll 3d6 ≤ skill level + modifiers). On the other hand, it has an encyclopedic catalogue of skills and modifiers to accommodate anything from cavemen to reality-warping future civilizations. If you want, it can be extremely gritty and detailed, more than whatever you're thinking of right now; or dead simple and narrative driven
The ridiculous breadth of options make it look really complicated, so people get intimidated. I think I'm it's hard for people to wrap their head around just how optional all the granular rules are.
