SonnyVabitch,

See, it worked!

How much is that in washing machines?

SonnyVabitch,

This family has their very own Drake meme.

Markup mishap, probably. They wanted subscript, which doesn’t work on all clients, including mine.

SonnyVabitch,

From French chute, fall, see also parachute, “protect against falling”.

SonnyVabitch,

My brain struggled a bit with the upside down crater…

SonnyVabitch,

It works for me. The shaded inside of the indent is interpreted as the shaded side of a hill.

SonnyVabitch,

I just find it remarkably lucky that the Arizona meteorite missed the visitor centre by just a few feet.

SonnyVabitch,

I accidentally imagined four. Should I unimagine one or just roll with it?

SonnyVabitch,

Does it bug you?

SonnyVabitch,

The actual average probably looks much more Asian, given where the largest population centres are.

SonnyVabitch,

The others have explained it better than I ever could, but I’d like to add that I haven’t even checked whether Napoleon fails the Bechdel test. I’m reasonably certain that the Ulvæus test is bullshit, because I just made it up.

SonnyVabitch,

That the movie fails the Bechdel test is bad enough, but that it completely misses the mark on the Ulvæus test as well is utterly unforgivable.

SonnyVabitch,

“Sir” goes with first name or full name, e.g. Sir Isaac or Sir Isaac Newton, but never Sir Newton.

SonnyVabitch,

Are we disrespecting Latin now?? Sic transit gloria mundi!

SonnyVabitch,

Godwin’s law is stronger than any of Newton’s.

SonnyVabitch,

The original sentence is consistent with the assertion that the mountains had formed before the first boney ancestors of dinosaurs evolved. This is also consistent with the presented timeline.

The correction would mean that the mountains may be older or younger than dinosaurs, because they are only older than bones, and the article is deafeningly silent on the issue of whether dinosaurs had bones.

It’s a failure of literacy on the poster’s part, hence the downvotes.

SonnyVabitch,

Maybe, this sentence, out of context. The rest of the post makes it abundantly clear that the ages of these things go:
mountains -> bones -> dinosaurs

The poster may either be a victim of Poe’s Law, in which case their “joke” wasn’t very funny, or they could be making the logical deduction as you describe but as a mistake. I thought it was the latter.
