Brother Jaybird 533 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 This is meant to be in the same vein as the What's New with You thread, but skewed to the world around you. Basically, post about neat stuff you run into but don't feel like using the status-update bulletin board for. For example, I just happened upon an item about how a 4Chan poster helped solve a 25-year-old math problem with a proof offered when he analyzed how many episodes you'd have to watch to see every possible order of episodes for the Haruhi Suzumiya anime.

That’ll take care of the hiccups 95% of the time. I've always handled them by drinking a cup of water and then holding my breath for twenty seconds to reset my diaphragm. It works well after a bit of effort calming your breathing. Link to post Share on other sites
Brother Jaybird 533 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) So the Detective Pikachu trailer dropped two days ago. I do hope that line about magic and hope is parody, because giving away such a cheesy theme disappoints me. Edited November 14, 2018 by JaybirdC Link to post Share on other sites
