If you try to use the god mode code from Doom in Heretic, it kills you and tells you not to cheat.

Forever remember it

CADmonkey,

I think the 2nd Descent game worked in a similar fashion. Entering a cheat code from the first Descent game would reduce you to 1% shields and health.

Dolphines are whales. People keep doubting me, whenever I bring that up :D

Aren’t dolphins, whales and orcas all part of the cetacean group?

Why do people keep doubting you?! They are the exact same but a little bit smaller. Nobody bats an eye when we say that lions and tigers are cats… people are dumb.

in Earthbound, there’s an exploit where you can have technically infinite PP if you put a Magic Truffle to the last slot of your inventory and buy a good amount of Ketchup Packets.

When you use the Magic Truffle in a battle, only just a Ketchup Packet will be consumed but not the truffle - you still gain 90 PP.

penguin_knight,

male otters have a pocket to store their favourite rock. They use this rock to bash females unconcious and rape them.

JakenVeina,

The Roman names for the three fates are Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.

Actually, I suppose there is a reason I remember this, it’s because of Golden Sun.

emptiestplace,

That’s weird.

SacralPlexus,

Don’t forget the rest:

Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest and lost

This is an urban legend

Can we have a citation please?

xkforce,

From what I can tell,every account that people have cited as evidence for Charlie Chaplin losing a look a like contest are anecdotal and cant be verified.

…stackexchange.com/…/did-charlie-chaplin-lose-a-c…

euchriduk,

But Dolly Parton really did lose in a Dolly Parton lookalike contest - and the winner was a drag artist (pretty sure it was a drag competition, and Dolly entered it for a laugh).

AgentGrimstone,

Carrots are good for your eyes. I learned it from the movie Shoot’em Up where Clive Owen plays an assassin and he eats carrots because it’s good for his eyes.

Tessellecta,

I’ve heard this is not true, but it was a lie by the UK government to cover up the invention of radar and the cracking of the enigma code.

Fedizen,

While the US uses the imperial system for most things the pharma/medical industries use the metric system

CADmonkey,

As does the auto industry, aerospace…

Outside of construction and plumbing plenty of stuff is metric here. Even our weird imperial units are based on metric units.

CADmonkey,

I have a lot of specifications stuck in my head from previous jobs. A fun one is that precast concrete bridge beams aren’t just concrete and rebar. They typically have a bunch (20-30 or more depending on size) of 13 mm steel cables that are each under about 13,000 kg of tension. The cables are pulled to a specific tension in the concrete form, the concrete is poured around them, then the cables are cut at each end.
