Dismissed Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Nobody. Okay, as a Percy Jackson fan, I enjoy fanfics utilizing the "Son of Artemis" concept, but one thing irks me until now. WHY THE HECK DO A LOT OF THEM CONSIST OF NARUTO BEING ONE??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfImpossible Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was not aware of this. I don't particularly care for fanfiction but this is the funniest thing I have heard in awhile. Thank you, good sir. Isn't it unrealistic that we're supposed to drink eight cups of water a month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwing Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 You used a double negative. Of course it is realistic to drink eight cups of water a month. There are enough days in a month that you can alternate between drinking water and milk every few days and still meet the benchmark. What's the difference between being warm or cold blooded? (Funny and Serious, if you don't mind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismissed Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 It's a common misconception, but warm-blooded means endothermic, or able to regulate internal body temperature, and coldblooded means ectothermic, in other words, unable to regulate body temperature. Or something like that, my biology is a little rusty. How is Timmy an average kid if no one understands him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not what you would typically think of as a double negative like "I didn't do nothing". I was using it to switch tones. Insinuating that I already had a point of view on the matter and was looking for confirmation or rejection. As opposed to "Is the fact unrealistic", which would make it seem as though I have no clue and am genuinely trying to figure it out. Perhaps a clearer wording would have been "Isn't the fact that we have to drink eight cups a month(it's eight a day actually) unrealistic?" I also think it's a little different if it's a question as opposed to a statement but I'm not 100 on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negative#English dou·ble neg·a·tive ˈdəbəl ˈneɡədiv/ noun GRAMMAR a negative statement containing two negative elements (for example didn't say nothing ). a positive statement in which two negative elements are used to produce the positive force, usually for some particular rhetorical effect (for example there is not nothing to worry about! ). 10 minutes ago, IfIHadToPickADude said: Si vous voulez manger mon gâteau, vous demandiez?

Or something like that, my biology is a little rusty. Interesting. Thanks for the info. Can you believe that the question came about because the online DOS emulator site I visited constantly adds new games and one of them was one of those "Living Books" games and I had some time to spare so I decided "sure, why not" and I ended up spending an hour on it. The book in question was Stellaluna, and it was surprisingly good. Heartwarming even. Anyway, it had this quiz about bats, and one of the questions was "Are bats warm-blooded?" and I was kind of curious what the difference between being cold and warm blooded meant, so I decided to ask here. You may or may not be getting a bunch of bat/animal related questions in the following days. I'm not certain why I just shared that. I guess I had a busy and emotional (in a good way) day, and this small thing kind of contributed to it. 2 hours ago, ProfImpossible said: Technically yeah, I had two negatives, "isn't", and "unrealistic".

I also think it's a little different if it's a question as opposed to a statement but I'm not 100 on that. So I was technically correct... (Sorry, but that was too great an opportunity to pass up. I don't even watch the show, but I still like the meme). Anyway, thanks for clearing that up. Admittedly, I was confused by what the question specifically asked the first and second time I read it, and came to that conclusion the third. It didn't help that I was going to leave soon and wanted to answer quickly. 13 minutes ago, ProfImpossible said: Who are the chips saying ahoy to? Their Final Destination.

Dragoncat Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) I had to look it up too, it means invade and conquer, basically. On a scale of 1 to invade Russia in the winter, how bad of an idea is it to wake up Haar with an air horn? @Hawkwing OMG my little brother had that exact Living Book on a CD when he was littler. Cute story, yes. I remember reading it in elementary school and I loved how the birds got more personality in the Living Book than they had originally.
