Ask SpaceYeti

What is your opinion of SpaceYeti? Do you think that question is a practical one?

What is your opinion of SpaceYeti? Do you think that question is a practical one?

I like SpaceYeti, and think he's handsome.

No.

 

[redbaron]

No. I frequently form opinions of people I see take part in discussions on this forum, but I don't generally connect what I thought of them to their name. Thus I basically forget what I think of the people here every other day or so, relative to how much I've interacted with them very recently. I'll surely remember seeing that name, I just won't know the person who's name it is. I effectively go into the forums with a neutral opinion on everyone each new day I arrive. I only remember opinions of people when they rubbed me entirely the wrong way, like Da Blob, Scorpionmover, and Snafupants.

Only very rarely do I remember someone by their screen name in a good way, and I'm not sure if that has been anyone on this forum.

I guess me not remembering you is a good sign, then.

Fair enough. That was initially the point of me asking, your answer to the other guy seemed like it was the, 'politically correct' response.

I suppose I have to ask another question or else I'm breaking thread protocol.

On a scale of 1 to The Hulk, how annoyed to you get at the excessive usage of smilies/emoticons?

Are you finding BAP's questions as hilarious as I am (quite hilarious indeed)?

C+. Not only do I think the whole "a picture is worth a thousand words" thing is false, smilies are like a picture's retarded cousin. I don't mind them, but they're not content, either.

Are you finding BAP's questions as hilarious as I am (quite hilarious indeed)?

They're not hilarious, but they are amusing to me. I appreciate them.

Wow, good answer. That would be hard to make up, if you didn't actually think that way.

Very much. For starters, it's a part of my body, and I cherish it at least as much as any part of my body. Losing any part of my body would be traumatic. Further, it's also the defining sexual organ of my sex, and I can use it to bring myself extreme pleasure. I would sorely miss such an ability, possibly to the point I would no longer be considered sane.

Entirely circumstance relevant. How old are the donuts, how many people, and who, chipped in, how many did we start with, etc? Generally I would ask, unless they're from the previous day and everyone has had ample time to claim it.

The donuts were just bought approximately two hours ago. Someone bought the donuts for everyone to enjoy. There were 24 donuts at the start and 12 people to eat them. Four of those people only had one donut, while three had three. The remaining five are unknown. You already ate one donut and wanted another one, but there was only one left. It's your favorite donut too. You can see out of the corner of your eye that someone else seems like they are coming to get the donut. You can split it with them or take it before they get there and put your grubby hands all over it so they won't ask.

What do you do?


If I wanted to hire you to kill BigApplePi, how much money would you require?

 

[BigApplePi]

How big is the rock?

Why did you answer my Q with another Q?

I will answer your Q:

Case I. As big as a large boulder

Case II. A pebble ... but a jagged one.

 

[joal0503]

there is a big red button in front of you.

pressing it ends the universe as we know it. ceasing all forms of energy, life, matter, everrrryyything just goes away. forever.

not pressing it, allows the universe as we know it to continue on its merry way.

do you press the button?

Spoiler

 

[SpaceYeti]

When will you man up and realize that cinnamon rolls are far superior (read manly) to sissy-assed cupcakes?

I don't know, but even if I do, I won't care.

Can you name the city in which I was born?

Sure. Let's call it Hobolopolis.

Of all the people on this forum, who would you most want to tickle fight with?

Whomever the most attractive female is.

Are you a Penthouse or Playboy man? Does it matter so long as boobies are showing?

Neither. I'm not going to spend my hard earned cash in mild and boring paper magazines. I need weird. Free weird, found on the internet.

You can split it with them or take it before they get there and put your grubby hands all over it so they won't ask.

What do you do?

I'm going to assume it's a gathering of my friends and the reason it's my favorite is because the friend who got them know it was my favorite or I otherwise specifically asked for that kind, thus granting me dibs on that kind. Two hours is enough time for everyone to have enough time time to grab a donut. This one's mine. He was too slow.

If I wanted to hire you to kill BigApplePi, how much money would you require?

Enough.

Why did you answer my Q with another Q?

Because I didn't want to write what I'd do under different circumstances.

I will answer your Q:

Case I. As big as a large boulder

He will either take upwards of twentyish rotations before getting dizzy, or he will not get there at all.

Case II. A pebble ... but a jagged one.

Three rotations.

Spoiler

No. In fact, I would hide, protect, or destroy the button as well as possible, so that nobody could ever press it. Assuming I believe it actually works.

Also, I wouldn't believe it works, since that doesn't actually seem possible, so I'd probably press it to see what it really did.

Since you are fortunate enough to have little Yeti's, I'm going to assume that one year from now they will be one year older. Do you agree ... so far? In other words, the year 2014 will occur. Try to stay with me now ...

Now for the tough question: Do you agree the year 3014 will occur? If you DO agree to that, what can you imagine it will be like since we know for certain that year will occur? What will be the odds little SpaceYet's will be walking around and will they remember you? Would you like them to read this thread ... assuming reading is done in 3014.

Think 3014.

I don't think they'll remember me specifically, though it may be neat if they come across this thread, somehow. I do hope I have some impact on them aside the simple fact they exist, though. You know, teach my boy right, he teaches his right, etc.

Honestly, I don't have enough information to guess what the world will be like in a thousand years. I presume either an effective (if not technically) world level government, nuclear power being the largest source of power. Overpopulation will be a legitimate concern.

Can infinite regress exist?

No. Not only no, its it's very own logical fallacy.

 

[Reluctantly]

No. Not only no, its it's very own logical fallacy.

To be fair, logical fallacies aren't always fallacies, depending on context. Ad hominem, for example, isn't a fallacy if the person's integrity is in question.

Infinite regress is a fallacy when it's used to refute any direct causation for an event. In terms of philosophical discussion underlying the truth of reality, it can be deemed illogical; but the truth doesn't have to be logical. Then it isn't a fallacy; that's probably its own fallacy, but I don't know what it is.

And I've decided to take care of the AppleMan myself. It's much cheaper to feed him to the dog.

Do you agree it is not a fallacy to deliver an ad hominem attack in the general direction of Reluctantly? Also can you convey to that same party that I carry a poison pill surgically imbedded on my person that will leave his dog in a mordant state if it is so imbibed?

That's not really true. Even if someone's integrity is in question, unless that's the very subject being discussed, the things he's saying either have merit or do not. So saying someone has no integrity still says nothing about the actual points he has made, which are true, false, reasonable, unreasonable, or whatever, on their own merits, regardless who said them. Indeed, you can make fun of someone or otherwise insult them, while also clearly remaining on topic, and you haven't really adhommed because you did actually discuss the topic, you simply also made fun of them. An adhom is specifically when you attack the person instead of the argument at hand, like saying evolution is false because Darwin was a racist (which he wasn't, but that doesn't even matter).

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood equal to the number of board feet equal to the 1234th number in the Fibonnacci Sequence? Express your answer in cubic yards of lumber, and show your work.

 

[Montresor]

^ depends on what kind of lumber. 2x12 or 2x4?

If it's 2x4 then the answer is 4.7e254

Remember it's 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" not 2" x 4"

Can't show work for calculating n=1234 but online calculators can do it.

Probably 80.

How does the dimensions of the lumber matter when asking for only 2 dimensions? A square yard of either 2x12 or 2x4 is still a square yard.

A board foot is neither a two-by-twelve nor a two-by-four, and a woodchuck out there is angry at your gross underestimation of his wood-chucking ability.

 

[ApostateAbe]

No.

You've made the woodchuck even angrier. You are going to have wood chucked through your window.

 

[ApostateAbe]

Given the order of how much wood this woodchuck can chuck, I would be highly concerned.

 

[Montresor]

- He asked for the answer in cubic yards.

A board foot is neither a two-by-twelve nor a two-by-four, and a woodchuck out there is angry at your gross underestimation of his wood-chucking ability.

- Given the order of magnitude, I'd hardly call a 16/7 ratio a "gross underestimation". Be that as it may, you are right and I am wrong. A board foot is 144 cubic inches while 1 linear foot of 2x4 is 63 cubic inches.

So the correct and final answer to your question is:

4.7e254 (16/7) = x

SpaceYeti, I owed you one math calculation, for the time you figured out the DNA thing. Now we are even on math calculations.

 

[SpaceYeti]

Thanks broham.

 

[ApostateAbe]

Wrong. Regardless of how much wood this woodchuck could chuck, there wouldn't be enough wood available to actually chuck that much, even if every planet, moon and asteroid in the universe had a forest ecosystem.

Just kidding. You win.

Weak, Yeti.

You would not be provided the materials, first off.
Second, I sincerely doubt you'd actually ask for them in earnest.

I challenge you to answer that one again. It's answers like that one that might cause people to dismiss this thread as unoriginal and unimaginative.

Has this been done before? Just goes to show you, there's no such thing as a unique idea.

- Not true, you just need to try harder to have one.

That's what I would ask for. I wouldn't get it, sure, but it's what I'd ask for. Unless I thought of something better. Do I have time to check stuff online? If so, I'd ask for something which I could mix to make some sort of weapon or would otherwise allow me to escape. Of course, I wouldn't expect my ideas to work, but fuck if I'm gonna just sit back and let them kill me for something I didn't do! I would sincerely not give two shits about what my last meal was. I'd be ever more concerned with escape.

If it were a crime I did commit, I'd probably be less frantic and more amiable to an actual food answer.

Also... so I need to watch a movie in order to get unique ideas? There's something about that which sounds a bit... "false" to me.
