I thought it was about a spicy bottom after spices go out the bottom. Bidets fix that problem.

Varyk, (edited )

Ooh no, don’t do that.

After you finish evacuation(as near as you can tell), you wash off the mess using the bidet.

Since you haven’t just smeared the mess around and into your skin with some paper, there’s no lingering burn.

Varyk,

Capsaicin doesn’t really affect your intestines, it’s more of a skin irritant.

So just wash off your skin as soon as it’s dirty, no burns.

This is from direct experience, i highly recommend anyone who likes spicy food(and everyone else) to get some sort of bidet rather than smearing waste on themselves with toilet paper.

Varyk,

Sup, babe. How’s that ipo?

Varyk,

I don’t see how

Varyk,

You being less funny doesn’t make that phrase funnier

Varyk,

No one:

Caring

Varyk,

Your revelation might just be relative to your general understanding

Varyk,

Really?

I’m not asking this facetiously, can you explain how?

I find the cropped version funnier.

Varyk,

Stop playing, there’s no way you understand percentages

Varyk,

I didn’t know that would hit so close to home.

I’m glad you find this fun.

Varyk,

No worries, nobody expected you to

I understand that it’s somehow being used incorrectly, but I’m not sure I understand that a correct usage of it would be.

Isx the joke here supposed to be “nobody has ever said girl’s hands are cold”?

Because that’s a common trope in TV shows, novels, regular conversation.

If the joke is that girl’s hands are cold, why would you need “no one”, and if the joke is that nobody would talk about girls hands being cold, then clearly that’s incorrect.

I appreciate the long explanation, I just do not understand it yet and I’ve received so many different explanations of what “no one” is supposed to mean without getting any closer to what the joke is.

And I completely agree that whatever the original meaning was is essentially lost in people just put the phrase “no one” in front of any image pretending it is a setup to a joke that it is not.

That’s why I crop these images, because there doesn’t seem to be anything semantically or comedically gained from “no one”.

It’s like putting a hat on a hat.

Varyk,

Okay, thank you for the explanation, I think I understand the structure now.

It’s a non-sequitir with an extra step, and despite the setup only making sense preceding non-sequitirs, the setup is used constantly with things people commonly talk about, are obviously popular or easy to get.

I think the knock knock setup makes sense because it very clearly sets the audience in a framework, encouraging you to inquire about the situation that you interrupt by subverting expectations via a punchline.

The no one line seems more like gilding a lily, a hat on a hat, superfluous.

It doesn’t add much to a joke or non-sequitur, it’s just pointing out that this thing from left field is from left field, while of course if the statement was from left field then you wouldn’t need to explain that it was from left field.

Weird.

I understand it better now, and I appreciate your explanation, but I’ll keep cropping these as I see them.

The no one line feels too much like a kindergartener rubbing their hands together like “I have a joke for you! My joke is a statement!”

Varyk,

Haha oh a hundred percent I’m just blahblahing now that I found out what it’s supposed to mean.

Varyk,

I’m so glad that Sean is the meme now.

Traffic Engineering: a help from Italy

Good morning, I write from Italy and here, where I live, but it is not only here the problem, are launched public roads projects that are breathtakingly bad and obsolete. I am no expert, I just think to have a minimum of good sense to understand that projects that are raping the countryside to build streets and welcome the...

Varyk,

It’s definitely the egg, since the chicken was the road and the egg(traffic density) increases after adding another highway or lane to a “super highway”.

Before that highway or lane was added, there was less congestion.

Varyk, (edited )

Adding more lanes does not “magically create more cars on the road”, but it does mundanely create more traffic, so that increasing traffic lanes provides diminishing returns of reduced congestion.

You have to factor in how many cars are acquired every year, how many people are driving, how they are driving where, and when.

Every year people are buying new cars and the old cars don’t just disappear, more people move to where more people already live, and adding new lanes only invites more drivers to where everybody is already going.

A simple, related and more accessible example is adding parking spaces into a downtown area. This does not lessen congestion but increases congestion as more people drive downtown and everyone drives around looking for a parking space rather than walking an extra 7 minutes from a less congested area.

A similar thing happens with highways, and research backs it up.

Improve mass transit and public transportation and this problem evaporates.

Varyk,

Not all New York times articles are also in print, you can use usually check the header or footer or some data on the page that tells you whether or not the online article was printed

Varyk,

All online articles appear in the print editions of the New Yorker, but not all printed articles are in the online edition.

Hot shit I thought the reddit design was a joke, that’s awful.

Varyk,

Probably kino’s journey, kino no tabi, the original. Captures the spirit of calm wanderlust perfectly. Itinerance.i love the ending too.

Varyk,

Hahaha well I laughed out loud, so thanks
