Just saw a high school production of Addams Family and while sure, it was good and all, I’m almost positive the school chose it because they have a 6’9 kid to played Lurch.

Appreciate the excellence of a closed curtain, a hushed audience awaiting the pre-show, and then a giant walks onstage, shows you a cellphone, wags his finger, and then smashes it with a hammer.

Should be standard practice

Isekai except the fantasy world is literally just like a ten minute hike away from everything else and has just explicitly never been found.

The protagonist gets hit by a truck but instead of dying they roll down a comically tall hill through like a mile of woods and then they wake up in a fantasy village

Wear One of These Comical Motto Rings - Lots of innocent fun

If you sometimes find it difficult, from diffidence or shyness, to get on friendly terms with the opposite sex, just display one of these rings and see if it does not smooth the way to a more familiar acquaintance and cordial friendship.

i think it’s p awesome that the first compasses invented in china were not magnetic, but in fact mechanical - the cart with the little wooden man pointing south was built in a way that no matter which way the cart turned, the little man would always point south

this is a model of what it looked like

how does this work? it’s so cool and confusing

the gears are aligned in a way to always turn the little man in the opposite direction as the cart at the same rate of rotation. so if the man points at you, and you turn the cart clockwise 90 degrees, the man will be turned counterclockwise 90 degrees, and still be facing you. if you turn the cart counterclockwise 90 degrees, the man will be turned clockwise 90 degrees, and still be facing you

as for how they got the cart to point south to begin with, that goes into fengshui and cardinal direction geomancy. but long story short, the workshops that built these carts would have their front doors facing south to begin with (using the sun and the stars to figure out which way is south), so all they would have to do is build the cart facing that direction, and the little man will always point south

thank you!
