naddpod - Hearthside Chat Q&A: Summer Fruit Smackdown

Right off the bat, Murph’s “okay” after Emily saying that “Murph’s up!” Will be stuck in her head. 😂 Love it.

I don't know that I'm won over on watching professional wrestling as intriguing as Murph and others make it sound Buttttt I would watch an anime based on it (which I suppose I have already as I used to watch the World Federation Wrestling as a kid despite not really understanding what it was. Alongside Fighting Foodons and Medabots.)

I use Liquid IV pouches during summer sports events because they are quite effective for the price but I do think the name is stupid All IVs are liquid If anything the commercial product should be called Powdered IV (because it becomes an IV-able liquid when you mix it with water) I get what they are going for I just think it's dumb

I was about to say the same thing! Decomposition at the bottom of the great lakes is incredibly slow. They're certainly not skeletons.

Alex Dixon

2024-08-15 20:42:44 +0000 UTC

Couple things about lakes: Lake Superior and the Great lakes are so large they have horizon lines. Additionally, during certain seasons when waves are highest, people do surf on Lake Superior. A few people have mentioned this already, but the Great lakes are so cold that bodies are identifiable by sight decades after they sink. One man who died on lake Superior was identified 80 years after his death.

Fossil fuels are mainly from the carboniferous period! 🌴🌿🪲🐛Basically plant evolution was going off, the ocean was full of plankton, and trees were a cool new plant trend. They all produced so much oxygen that there were giant insects (think 8ft long millipedes, 2.5ft dragonflies, etc) and everything was on fire a lot. The plankton lived happy lives and sank to the sea floor to become oil and the oxygen fires burned a bunch of swamps and forests over and over which became coal!

How to make banana splits good, imo, former DQ employee. Make sure banana is ripe but not too. Ignore typical toppings put caramel, heath bar and/or Reece’s peanut butter cups. Or whatever toppings actually work with banana flavor. The bad strawberry syrup 🤢 and pineapple (what is this a pizza??) with the chocolate don’t work.

The talk about storms really put me in mind of the sone Sometimes by James: There's a storm outside And the gap between crack and thunder Crack and thunder Is closing in Is closing in The rain floods gutters And makes a great sound on concrete On the flat roof There's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high Calling, "Come on thunder, come on thunder"

Chicago native here ~~ There are well over 600 shipwrecks in Lake Michigan! & over 6k in the great lakes in general. There’s a shipwreck museum in michigan. There are roughly 30,000 bodies in lake michigan alone!!! That’s a lot of bodies.

I kinda wish you guys had a Dr. Drew character on your non-D&D episodes to provide "um actually" input on things like body decomposition. Maybe you could get the actual Dr. Drew as a guest!

By some weird circumstances I was required to take a boxing class in college and my final exam was three two minute bouts against different people. In the first one I went up against a collegiate handball player who destroyed my nose after about thirty seconds and I had to fight my next two bouts while bleeding like a fountain. Handball isn’t even a big guy sport, the rock absolutely kills me with one punch.

I'm sure someone else has shared this but I'm delighted to announce that in LA you can go to Korean spas/saunas where you can lounge in green tea pools (also some do beer), and hang out in various beds of warm sand before going into the sauna or the chill pool. Most places are pretty reasonable in their time blocks.

2024-08-09 09:24:15 +0000 UTC

My understanding of fossil fuels is that it's all the biomass that died before microbes (or maybe fungus? microfungus? idk exactly) had developed that break down dead matter. So like instead of deteriorating (getting broken down by scavengers, then flies and stuff, then bacteria/fungus) like dead stuff does now, it just kept getting smooshed down under new stuff. That's why it's an extremely finite resource. So any bodies you dump in lakes will not become fossil fuels, but instead will simply be recycled into the earth as their material is consumed and used by other organisms.

When Caldwell said "and there's murder in it" like it was another star in the cast, I was like: Omg Emily is going to be in something with John Hamm AND Murder? Oh my god I looove Murder's work! I don't wanna sound like a hipster but I love Murder's classics, like Cain and Abel. Truly revolutionary for the time, and for a first work??

Martian

2024-08-09 04:59:38 +0000 UTC

Martian

2024-08-09 03:55:55 +0000 UTC

I'm just imagining the best banana split in LA that Emily finds for Murph is gonna be some kind of bespoke banana plit-tisserie where the ice cream is made from goats milk and the banana has been molecularly reconstructed into a foam

Martian

2024-08-09 03:52:48 +0000 UTC

In the frigid waters of lake Superior, bodies don't really decay. There are shipwrecks with bodies that can't be recovered, and the bodies look nearly the same as the day they sank.

I know this is a weird thing to chime in on, but if I can't contribute to the discourse of a 60 year old book/50 year old movie/20 year old movie, what is the internet for? Hennyway, the book absolutely described the other kids exiting the factory, alive but transformed. Death would've been an end to their suffering.

As a proud Michigander, I feel a duty to inform the crit justices that there are a ridiculous amount of perfectly preserved bodies in the Great Lakes. I, and what a wild thing to teach children, learned this in school at a young age. The Great Lakes: shark free, unsalted, full of corpses!

While not a full Grinch campaign, I was in a pf2e campaign where as level 20 characters we had to track down and fight Krampus, who had stolen all of the nearby city's winter solstice gifts. After beating him we had to try to grow his heart by three sizes by teaching him the true meaning of Christmas so he would return all of the presents he stole. The pf2 stat block for Krampus is awesome, highly recommend

Um actually, the movie ends with the glass elevator and the other kids never reappear. However, if we're talking originals, they do appear at the end and yes they are all slightly modified due to their original sins. (E.g. mike teevee has been stretched out, violet is still blue, etc.)
