“Dillon Dingler” is a Jack Kirby guy name. No idea who’s in the Venn diagram for this one.

I’m answering all your dumbest questions at www.reddit.com/r/trivia/com... today if anyone wants to come hang out for a bit!

I am Ken Jennings. I host Jeopardy! now, but apparently I'm still using my old, bad Reddit username. My new trivia book is called THE COMPLETE KENNECTIONS. AMA!

8 runs, but still.

Normally people don’t stress much about the odds of giving up six runs in a single inning, but I’m a Mariners fan and that’s its own kind of generational trauma.

That’s right!

Never heard this but it appears to be an old-timey name for the same thing. Our judges would look to see if the term was used in multiple publications and make a ruling. Too close for me to call!

@kenjennings.bsky.social would you have accepted "Tanning Index" as an alternative name for "UV Index" on tonight's final Jeopardy? (My Dad wants to know!)

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

The Mariners trident raise is one of the goofiest things in baseball and I love it so much.

remember it's only fascism if it comes from the fascist region of Europe. Otherwise it's just sparkling conservatism.

Maybe this is the one I should just pin and tap the sign when people show up in a lather

What I picture every time @kenjennings.bsky.social announces someone's Final Jeopardy wager is "nothing at all"

Screenshot from season 11, episode 10 of the TV show The Simpsons. A character named Ned Flanders is seen from the side in a very tight-fitting red and blue ski suit. His hips are angled so his bottom sticks out prominently. He is also wearing a red ski helmet with the black visor lifted to show his face. He has a thick mustache and round, thin glasses. His eyes are closed and he is smiling. The image has been heavily memed due to Ned proclaiming his suit fits so well it feels like he's wearing nothing at all as he wiggles his bottom.

This is not an error, it's common English usage. You have been wrong every time you've corrected someone about this, and it's time to take a long, long look in the mirror at what you've become.
