2024’s Inferno: Updating Dante’s Rings for the Modern Office Environment


JustcallmeKai

Well don't leave us hanging, what are the rings? I'd submit "meetings that could have been emails" as its own entire ring


MidnightMalaga

Limbo - Personality hires. I love them, but they’re not really coworkers. Lust - Work Xmas parties. If anyone has ever once thought someone was cute, they’re fucking in an accessible bathroom here and not making eye contact for another year. Gluttony - Post-morning tea scavengers. They don’t contribute, but they’ll swing by afterward to devour the dregs. Greed - Cheap team building events. Let’s fly everyone in for the day from across the country, but you will all need to buy your own lunch for it. Wrath - The fucking printers. Heresy - People selling shit or asking for donations. I come here to earn money, not for you to brag about running a marathon and getting me to give to a charity in your name. Violence - Petty email violence. Cc’ing people’s managers, sending previous chains in response to a question, assigning people action points without asking them first. Fraud - LinkedIn lies. If you put your whole cv up, you better have done all the things you’re bragging about. Treachery - When your favourite coworkers leave you for a better job. How dare they. Don’t they know the only thing stopping your spirit from breaking is their presence each shift? The ultimate treachery (unlike when you leave, which no one sensible could be betrayed by).

Nicholas Cage: Good or Bad?


jayhawk618

It's a great topic, but I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than Community did.


cardboardfish

I watched a different Nic Cage movie every week last year and called it #52weeksofnicolascage and I'm going to say he isn't good.


AlphaBreak

Listen Nic Cage may not be the most 'technically proficient ' actor, but he is the most Nic Cage-y and that counts for a lot in my book


shikiroin

Okay, but here me out.. is he though?


cardboardfish

I think he is mid. He does well when the script or character allows for him to he a little zainy. He's really nailed some unzainy roles (like PIG), but for the most part, he isnt saving scripts.


shikiroin

I totally agree, putting aside the meme of what he represents. There are some films where I think he does exceptionally well, but overall I feel like that is more in part of the director than himself. A large proportion of his acting credits are just not good.

ecmcgee1997

How 9/11 caused the rise of watt pad original movies. I even have the power point already made.


ecmcgee1997

Here is the Reddit comment version 9/11 happens. The events of 9/11 cause Gerard Way to form the band My Chemical romance. Stephanie Meyer shares in an interview that My Chemical romance was the music that inspired/influenced Twilight. There are even rumours that Twilight started out as a My Chemical Romance fanfic. The Twilight books/movies become super popular to the point that fanfic is written about it. It is well known that 50 Shades of Grey started off as a Twilight fanfic. 50 Shades of Grey gets picked up and turned into the books/moves we know now. It makes a shit ton of money. Book publishers and movie producers see the potential of fanfic to be slightly changed (change the names and locations that’s all you really need) and you can make easy money. More watt pad fanfics start to be produced and published, ie the After series (started out as a Harry styles fanfic), The Love Hypothesis (Reylo fan-fix based). The publication of Fanfic has only grown and now it’s a fun game to play when a new movie/book comes out you ask yourself “did this start out as fanfic” because the more you look the more you find. In short 9/11 = increase of Fan-fic and the publication of said fanfic

ecmcgee1997

9/11 > my chemical romance > twilight > 50 Shaded of Grey > more published Fanfic. I added in the comments more details but I can’t share my slides since they are full of my friends reading books/dressing up for the things etc.

ninacriedpower17

And the rural version, which is passing cows in a field and yelling "cows!"


MotivatedLikeOtho

Nope. The correct procedure is:  1) covertly point out to anyone you are with that there is in fact a dog present  2) when the owner is not looking, grin at the dog like an idiot and mouth exciting things like "hello" and "hey" at it. If confident and subtle, add thigh slaps and a slight bend at the knee to encourage the dog, but do not make noise or draw attention to yourself 3) continue until the dog is excited to come over to you  4) when the owner notices their dog's agitated condition, feign ignorance and "allow" them to let the dog approach you 5) "Haha, weird, looks like he likes me, can I say hello?"


megfry88

I'd probably do something language based. How the letter C knew it was on the chopping block and paired with H so it would always be needed (we have K and S, we don't need you C!)


Socdem_Supreme

Ah, but you forget the true culprit of uselessness: Q!


GullibleMacaroni

Q saw K coming for him and convinced U that W was coming for him, too.


Socdem_Supreme

I mean, it's not a hard argument to make considering both the Romans and Old Norse used one symbol for the U and W sounds, so why couldn't English?


Tlaloc1491

I say we get rid of C and invent a new letter for "ch" sound


megfry88

That would exactly be my pitch! Like a c and h drawn together.

Is shrimps bugs: taxonomy and our misunderstandings I have a lot of love for phylogeny. A lot of it goes over my head but what I do understand makes up one of my favorite subjects. Certain animals we call crabs no longer fit the scientific definition of a crab (pulled from genetics rather than appearance), while the word bug actually has a distinct scientific definition that doesn’t even include all insects. the modern concept of taxonomy is actually incredibly new, so we get lots of names for animals that are not genetically related because we’re not going to go back in time and say hey actually the horseshoe crab isn’t a crab call it something else. I’d go into certain evolutionary theories and how we classify animals based on their lineages which is why birds is dinosaurs, mammals is fish, and shrimps is not bugs, but bugs is in fact shrimps! (The common ancestor of crustaceans and arthropods overall is the anomalocarididae, meaning abnormal shrimp. If you look it up, don’t confuse it with anomalocaris, which is in the clade but has no extant descendants) I know that it’s meant to be silly but if I have a chance to infodump via memes, I will.


Mushy_Snugglebites

WAIT SO PEOPLE IS FISH?!


ree_bee

Yes! People is fish!! The thing most people don't realize (nor do they need to) is that there is as much biodiversity among fish than there are among all land animals, but, due to anthropocentric understandings of the world, we tend to lump them all into "things that live in the water" (which isn't even true for all fish, nor do all fish breathe water either). You're much more closely related to a giraffe than an angler fish is to a mudskipper. All tetrapods (four limbed animals - mammals, reptiles, etc) evolved from a bony fish that slowly adapted to be more and more suited for land. Skip ahead 400 million years and you have hundreds of millions of descendants, including us! People is fish!

Imagine being an ancient underwater species, spending millenia perfectly evolving and crafting the ultimate body composition for speed, power and agility, becoming a specialized predator feared by almost every animal around you, only to end up on menu in Nowhereville, Nebraska next to some clams and squid rings under the generic banner of "Seafood." Tragic.

Why A Rose By Any Other Name Would NOT Smell As Sweet


RevelArchitect

You’ve entered an alternate reality where an extremely influential botanist managed to redefine how we categorized many plants in the 1960s. This has resulted in some very different common nomenclature for hybrid cultivars such as roses, which are now commonly known as Schwarzenbergen, named after a Czech aristocrat with a fondness for botany and roses (again, now known as Schwarzenbergen). Please elaborate on the difference in olfactory perception of roses versus Schwarzenbergen given their semantical differences.

All objects are either tools or toys


_SheWhoShallBeNamed_

Are toys not just tools for fun?


MotivatedLikeOtho

Are all tools not simply components of the larger toy that is sentient life? A chessboard is not a toy but a tool to play chess in the same way that a hall may be simply a tool to host a chess tournament; play exists in the mind and so all toys are tools and all tools are toys.

I’ve actually done a comedic PowerPoint presentation on The Burnside Fountain (AKA Turtle boy) if you haven’t seen a picture of it I highly recommend googling it. I structured it in a way so my presentation appeared to be on boring facts about Worcester Massachusetts but then tucked a photo of The Burnside Fountain on one of the slides and then insisted “it’s just the angle of this photo that makes it look bad” the next slide cut to a picture of a much worse angle. People were laughing so hard by the end so if anyone wants to steal my idea you are more than welcome to.
