I was thinking about this as I passed an IHOP earlier. What's your take?

I feel like that would be a test of mettle. The kind of ethical quandary Star Trek TOS episodes were built around. Would you protect and stand by a close friend, even when they were publicly melting down and having their JULAY! moment or what have you? Or would you do your duty as a Farmer and...

A companion thread to "what dead celebrity would have a thread on the farms"

I sat down and watched Taxi Driver for the first time in years last night- literally hadn't seen it since my "Appreciating Cinema 101" or whatever it was called back in college. It's still an amazing and often imitated portrait of a particular place and time (specifically New York in the high...

The two sanctuaries of bugmen, slacktivists, and the sexually confused. Two sites enter. One will leave.

So, in the Social Justice Warriors thread there was an image of a tweet that compared AVALANCHE to antifa that falls apart almost immediately under scrutiny. Let's do the opposite of that and see which is the most shitlordy Final Fantasy (or similar JRPG) plot. I look forward to seeing what...

Superman: You're kind of boring, but you have have a heart of gold. Batman: You're not as cool as you think; in fact you're turning into everyone's weird uncle that's stuck in the mid-2000's Wonderwoman: Like the Superman fan but with more GRRL PWWR Green Lantern: Very conservative, but you...

Sometimes I read other people's posts in my mind in different voices based on their handle or avatar. What do you imagine the poster above you should sound like?

So fellow Kiwi Musicians- I know most players like to talk gear so...What's your favorite? Doesn't necessarily have to be gear you own, it can be gear you aspire to. My favorite gear is my (1999?) MIJ Fender Strat that I've modified a bit over the years. Black body/black pickguard to imitate...

This is a thread for sharing and enjoying music that uses FM (frequency modulation) synthesized sounds (as opposed to subtractive synthesis a la Moog or digital sampling) to produce sounds. It's been used in a surprisingly diverse array of applications- Yamaha's DX-7 keyboard synthesizer was a...

I've been looking at online forums re: learning piano recently (mostly as a stepping stone to be able to better understand music theory and record synths) and my main concern was cost. $500 digital pianos with weighted keys exist. That's at the upper end of what I'd be able to afford for this...

The idea here is to take a genre or subgenre of music and making a humorous observation about what it's called vs what it tends to be in reality. Americana: Country music that hipsters don't have to be afraid to like Free Jazz: unlistenable cacophony you need 20 years of training to play

Surprisingly I've never been exposed to rap much, but I'd like to learn a bit about the genre. My entire experience with the genre is pretty much white rappers like Beastie Boys/Eminem/Vanilla Ice and Will Smith. Could anyone recommend some to listen to that will introduce me to the genre, maybe...

I'm looking at learning to play the drums for a variety of reasons. Foremost, it seems like everyone needs a drummer, always. I've played guitar for about 15 years now and can always seem to find a guitarist or press-gang someone into playing bass but have never attempted percussion. I...

There are many horror stories out there. Films, books, campfire tales...Just in time for the Spooking Season, let's talk about a horror story (it can be from anywhere, and you can even make one up yourself!) that you could imagine a Lolcow ending up in.

but my bosses gave me a high-yield alarm clock.

Since Trump's penis is apparently newsworthy, let's speculate on what each US president's member was like, from first to last. I'll start: per the Washington Monument, I believe George Washington's penis was a perfectly angled alabaster obelisk.

I recognize the irony of using the internet to ask about it, but has anyone here considered leaving behind most modern conveniences for a simpler existence? Philosophically, it's a very appealing concept. To be free from the rat race existence and trying to stay afloat and having to deal with...

Got this idea...let's shout out to lolcows we love and hate with songs that either apply to them or would annoy the fuck out of them. For example...this one goes out to MovieBob, who hates everyone that lives in the Heartland!

Hey fellow Kiwis. I've been thinking about learning a little bit about carpentry in my spare time. I don't really know where to start, I've been looking for classes in my area but outside of joining a professional carpenter's union (and I'm not looking to go pro) or going to a community...
