Mr_Dr_Oink, to asklemmy in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?

I’m from the UK, and I’ve always said merry.

I doubt it’s any more prevalent in a specific country and more likely specific to individual families and friends.

For example, i always thought it was an american thing to say happy christmas.

Mr_Dr_Oink, to asklemmy in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

I always get this game if im installing an emulator. It was great. I liked the combinations of guns you could choose. Either power up one of the 4 types or combine with another type. Homing lazers were always my go to.

MGMT have a good song called 'time to pretend" so i guess that helps the sign make more sense.

Ah yes! Three of my favourite reptiles:

Spiders, Centipedes, and Scorpions.

Mr_Dr_Oink, to lemmyshitpost in When you've been in the pool a little too long...

My wife said to me once, in the changing rooms after swimming, you’ve lost your penis.

I, being perfectly secure about my dong, cried in the corner for an hour before refusing to speak to her till she got me mcdonalds.

Mr_Dr_Oink, to lemmyshitpost in Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

I still have an aol and hotmail address. I use them for trash website and services that i dont want to give my main email address to. I wouldnt dare open my aol inbox. I might get covid or something.

Mr_Dr_Oink, to asklemmy in Edit: (What do you call this dish?)

Toad in the hole is sausages in a big yorkshire pudding.

The name must have been appropriated to refer to this eggy bread meal.

To be fair, I’ve never heard a name for it before.

Mr_Dr_Oink, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

I dont know about his knowledge, really, but I watched a few videos when shopping for my most recent phone and found his reviews to be a bit shallow and personal, not particularly objective and somewhat biased.

But i would like to say, the number of views a youtuber gets is not directly related to the quality of the entertainment other than it has to appeal to the most people in order to make it. That often leaves a bland taste to the videos. Its true of youtube, of music, of film… or any form of media really. You dont get popular by being extremely talented and nishe.

It is also not directly related to being smart. You only have to look at someone like elon musk to see that. Hes, frankly, an idiot. But he has done very well for himself to a point. Obviously, he’s fallen off now,

Fact is, not agreeing that Marquis is a good youtuber is not equal to being triggered, and its kind of ironic coming from the white knighr who cam running to his defence on a fairly obscure message board. :)

Mr_Dr_Oink, to lemmyshitpost in Be safe out there, Atlanta.

This is new to me. I am in stiches. I love it will all of my heart.

Mr_Dr_Oink, to lemmyshitpost in We were warned.

You missed Professor Peppy.

I know there’s probably more, but i feel like this one is important.

Mr_Dr_Oink, (edited ) to programmer_humor in Programmer tries to explain binary search to the police

I’ve had a look into it, and it doesn’t work if you try to do it mathmatically. You always need more than 3 gos on the seesaw.

There is a solution in the replies to my original comment that is the actual solution, and it works every time and is much simpler than any grouping method.

It involves assigning a letter to each person and then aligning that with a grid of positions “left” or “right” or “none” on the seesaw. Over the three rounds. So, person A is on the right all three rounds person b is on the right for 2 rounds then on the left for the 3rd round.

You end up with a list of 12 patterns that do not repeat or mirror any other pattern like “LLL” “LLR” “LRR” “LR-” etc. Then you do all three rounds and compare the position the seesaw was in with those patterns.

If the seesaw was down on the left 2 times the down on the right the third time then you look for which person had that pattern in this case it was person B. So they are the one with a different weight and they were heavier.

Equally, if the opposite pattern occurred. It was down on the right 2 times, then down on the left for round, then that is the opposite pattern of person B and does not occur anywhere else, so it was person B, and they were lighter.
