will reactivate YouTube at some point for time-lapses and have been considering, again in order, Newgrounds, Subscribestar, e612, Weasyl and Inkbunny, but I'm open to suggestions.

If you've never watched it, there were 4 kinds of questions:
25%: well, obviously that's 5th grade material, this contestant is so dumb!
25%: okay I remember learning that but I didn't know the answer, I'm dumb!
25%: 5th graders are learning that now?
25%: No way 5th graders are learning that *now*!

For the record, the "5th grader" being the threshold for "not stupid" is based on the game show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?"

This thread is 6 posts long, by the way. It's one of those long and detailed ones (and I still left details out here!)

#DreamDiary :
I find myself suddenly in the cockpit of a plane, the other person there, a much older guy, has just completed the pre-flight checklist and insists I take the pilot's seat and handle the radio so I grab the mouthpiece and request clearance to taxi... from the passengers.

This looks like a fun list! Shoot me a number and a character (or multiple characters/numbers) and I'll provide the deets.

My sister was taking dance lessons and we got into an argument over whether musical numbers in Disney movies were harder to execute than those in Dreamworks movies. It luckily never got heated but she insisted Dreamworks were harder, and if her dance classes had a level 2, that'd be it.

no no, eliminating the "De minimis" means $801 packages are fine, $799 ones are not

in the egyptians' defense, they had no idea that 2000-ish years later a guy would come about that would redefine the way years are counted

I'm reminded of that scee from Pinocchio https://clip.cafe/pinocchio-1940/theres-somebody-in-here/

"Who's there? It's me. Oh, it's me. Huh? Shhh! Figaro, there's somebody in here!" - Pinocchio quote

Geppetto: [waking up to a loud crashing noise] Who's there? Pinocchio: It's me. Geppetto: [relieved] Oh, it's me. [starts to lie back down, then suddenly sits up boltright] Geppetto: Huh? Shhh! Figaro, there's somebody in here!

Little ten-year-old me just stared at these arguments like "why can't they both exist? We have like ten Ninja Turtle clones already" but knowing that if I dared voice that I'd be yelled off the playground
