Freedom Flies
I've lost the ability to distinguish reality from satire. I don't know if this is reality's fault, or mine.

I'd hook this to my e-meter
I regularly read Fark threads for the "I'd hit it" pictures and this still wasn't funny. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

2 Real Prices of Gas
It's cool that gold is back in the news now that it finally broke its previous all-time high set in 1980. If it were a stock that had taken 28 years to recover in nominal terms, it'd be getting laughed at.

Go ahead, hurt me, I won't press charges.
I don't like you guys defending the attacker, and if you try to do it any more I'm going to break your fucking legs.
I warned you, so it'll be totally cool, right?

"Garlic: The Silent Killer," "Juicy Beans," and 39 other fascinating projects of SCIENCE!
My friends made a functional coilgun as high school physics project using some soda can-sized capacitors and a transformer from a neon sign. It fired a nail (sans head) at potentially-lethal speeds, and their genius teacher let them fire it inside the classroom as a demonstration. An odd ricochet sent the nail exactly in the direction where the teacher had been standing prior to saying "For safety's sake, I'm going to move behind this thing" and stepping a few feet to the side.

Just put down your camera. Game over.
I'd like to see at least one OMG PHOTOGRAPHER post on Metafilter that wasn't either 1) cloying hyper-processed over-saturated vignetted HDR Nutrasweet or 2) pictures of rusty things taken with a polaroid

Telling me I can't bring my religion into the public square is tantamount to bringing yours in first, and then denying me the same privilege
Secularism is totally a religion, amirite? It's like how how "all people are created equal" is really its own kind of prejudice because you're assuming that someone's equal rather than not. It's just a different kind of assumption! And the civil rights movement just brought in a new form of racism - the... [more]

When Oral Sex becomes a pregnancy
ROU_Xenophobe, would you feel the same way if the man were raped? And would you consider it rape if intercourse occured to someone who only consented to oral sex?

If I give someone a tool set for Christmas and they use it to steal a car, should I have to pay back the original owner for the full cost of the vehicle? Certainly that would be in the interests of society at large.
For the record, though, this guy is most likely trying to pull a scam, and shame on him.

The Nutcracker Suite
Anecdote: A college professor of mine had two kids, got a vasectomy, decided that God wanted him to have more kids, had it reversed, and now has somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen. So there's at least one person who's had a reversal without a death or new wife, and a very successful reversal it seems.

Bionic contact lens
SCDB, I feel the same way about my camera's viewfinder. How could something that's only half a cm away from my eye ever present a focused image?

There's nothing magic about subject distance. You can replicate the same apparent focal distance by just casting the light rays in the right direction. We have the technology.

Gee, Your Penis Smells Terrific!
Q: What happens if NodorO™ gets in contact with a woman's genitals?
A: ... The effectiveness of [latex condoms or diaphragms] may consequently be reduced, so you should use alternative contraceptive precautions for at least 5 days after using this product

a theory on why we really dream
And in addition I never neglect to attend my university course for an entire year then wonder nervously when the exam is
It's disturbing to me just how common this one is. Makes no sense whatsoever, especially now that in my dream I'm working a full-time job and going to school 2,000 miles away.

The asterisk wing of Cooperstown.
I really enjoy how we can have conversations around here that don't immediately devolve in to "OMG WHY DO YOU WATCH SPORTS GO FEED AN ORPHAN INSTEAD" vs "IT IS AN ARTISTIC DISPLAY OF ATHLETIC TRIUMPH AND THE HUMAN SPIRIT".
Oh wait, no we can't.

I, too, was expecting some sort of insane papercraft Sudoku generator as well, or maybe a complex system of transparencies and overlapping symbols. Color me disappointed.

More of the Same.
I just bought a replacement 30GB iPod, and three weeks later they've decided I can get the 80GB for the exact same price. [...] feels like I was robbed.
This has to be the dumbest sentiment in consumer electronics. What were you expecting to happen? No new iPods for the holiday season? They keep doing this and the timing is pretty transparent. If you can't wait a month or two for the new hotness to come out, you don't get to complain when it does and... [more]

Am I missing something here, or is competitive Pac-Man different from regular Pac-Man?

Tale of the mechanical virus
Since you're an expert, what exactly is the difference btween UI design and UX design?
A UI designer will tell you that your button needs to be 8px from the right edge of the dialog and right-aligned with some other thing, give you an icon for your toolbar, assign proper size and spacing to individual elements, check for appropriate use of fonts and colors, ensure that your elements are accessible, and generally make sure your interface looks and...

Prayforming in the Park
I didn't see anyone else note this - in the "mesmerizing" clip, he plays the violin right- and left-handed, and does a fine job in both configurations. That alone should get the asshat judges and audience members on AGT off his back.

...I suppose we are suppose to point and laugh at the stupid people with stupid beliefs.
Seriously, these people are pretending to be physically knocked over by this guy's magic mojo. Just how stupid does a belief have to be before we're allowed to laugh at it? Because this is pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.
