I don't know about that:

Mess with you so much that you feel forced to mess back.
 
@Alex Ah. I thought you meant twisting me into asking the same kind of HP questions you usually ask, or answering your existing twisted ones ;)
 
@Jenayah That is indeed what I meant.
 
well I haven't done that yet
 
I know. But you will eventually.
 
We'll see about that...
 
12:04 AM
You've only asked three Harry Potter questions. So we don't have that much to go on.
Oh, so that definitely reinforces my theory that you have a notebook/Word file somewhere with a bunch of answers to Harry Potter questions which haven't been asked yet, ready to be posted as soon as they appear on the frontpage. — Jenayah Aug 3 '18 at 21:39

Q: Anime where guy is forced to fight on his first day of magic school. Portal opens and his wife(!) comes out and gives him a gauntlet

shit atcsThis guy gets into a magic school where on the first day he is forced to fight a girl in front of everyone but during the the fight a lady comes out a portal and claims she is his wife and he gains a gauntlet/claw which I think was gold. (It is not High School DxD or Qualidea Code)

 
meh. I still claim such a thing exists even if not exactly written
can't really speak though I have an answer at the read if somebody posts a specific question ;p
 
Tell us the question and perhaps someone will ask it.
 
nah :P
it's not twisted enough for you anyway
 
I didn't say I would ask it.
 
12:14 AM
also i'm being petty on keeping the question a secret so that no one else prepares an answer :P
(it's not a 30k words thorough answer, it's a two-quotes thing, but still :) )
 
I once posted a Meta question only after I wrote an answer for it.
 
You meant you didn't know the question before you started to write an answer?
also
 
No, I wrote the question, and then delayed posting it until I had written an answer too.
Which reminds me, I was supposed to edit that question title.
 
ah. then it's not really the same though
what question by the way?

When posting an answer to such a question, one can technically just post the Talmudic source, or one can post any of the sources wher...

I was supposed to edit the title into English.
 
12:18 AM
oh no you should leavethe title as is
 
I should because in my opinion it was a good pun.
 
it totally falls under the Mi Yodeya "should be understandable by any peasant around" policy :P
 
@Jenayah Well I figured Meta is more hidden, plus an English title would have killed the joke.
 
I was kidding
eh, I can't really talk about Mi Yodeya Meta polices :P
 
Well the rest of it should be relatively understandable.
@Jenayah It wasn't really about a policy. More about encouraging a certain way of answering.
To prevent multiple answers that aren't really adding very much new information.
 
12:23 AM
m'alright
Mi Yodeya is uncharted territory for me so what you say, goes
 
Well don't trust me too much...
 
Paradoxically, Uncharted territory isn't uncharted for me :P
 
?
Book?
 
video game series
same guys who made The Last of Us, the video game I was telling about yesterday
same recommendation applies by the way, check the "game movies" out some day if you're up for it
no zombies but treasure hunting :)
 
Treasure!
 
12:27 AM
(and some SFF elements at the end, a bit like Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider)
actually there's a funny illustration about those three:
credit goes to random guy on the internet (too broad you say?)
 
M'afraid you lost me.
 
Well the three of them have a similar plot line: archeology/history passionates hunting for treasures (once again, big outlines...).
Indiana Jones is the protagonist of the titular trilogy directed by Spielberg in the 80s (the guy in the middle, with the hat and whip)
 
@Jenayah It's only a trilogy?
 
yes
 
I thought there were like 20 of them.
 
12:33 AM
some people claim they've seen a fourth movie but there's no such a thing
they must have imagined it
Lara Croft (girl on the left) is the heroin of titular video game series
She's known to be a badass gun-wielding female actiion figure, hunting down treasures kept by various... more or less coherent stuff...
Meh she's also mainly known to be what video games developers end with when they think "hey how does it look like if we double her breast size... Oh hey it looks good let's do it again" :P
Nathan Drake (guy on the right) is the youngest (in terms of creation order) of the three. Same thing, history aficionado hunting for treasures. Witty badass too
So the joke in the image above is that the two video games characters are sometimes (often) compared on a "who's the best treasure hunter one" but Indy separates them kids as he was in the game way before they were
Hence the "kids..." smirk
 
Got it.
 
1:05 AM
Another anime-id with a gauntlet.
 
There's always a gauntlet.
 
@Jenayah Oh, Indiana Jones. I just thought of it. Let me quote myself.
After all the ossuaries in commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photo_challenge/2018_-November-_Bon‌​es , the sets in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom seems somewhat cheap. Kali's altar has way too few skulls.
 
Link is error 404
 
@Alex I think we have a question about that. Let me look.

9:16 AM
@Alex It was unintended. And it turned out that there was no way to rename it and keep the pun, because the renamed title only showed up on Lit (the site to which it got migrated), Sci Fi kept showing the uninformative old title.
 
@b_jonas Ah, so kind of the reverse of my case. I'm supposed to edit my title to remove the pun, because the pun is in a different language.
 
@Alex Titles can be long enough. Just put both langauges in the title.
 
@b_jonas In English it's almost 'meaningless as a title.
 
@Alex Sure, so don't translate the title, but give an English title that matches the question body.
 
@b_jonas Eh, not a bad idea...
 
9:24 AM
And keep the hebrew pun next to it in the title, unless it's really unsuitable to remain in Meta.

maybe @Alex knows a better dupe
if you even agree it's a dupe to begin with that is ;p
 
I mean it's certainly a dupe of something, it's just finding the best fit haha
 
This answer to Have any students not been sorted? theorizes they'd still go to Hufflepuff. Given how many "why was X not sorted into Y?" questions there are, there is probably a "general" dupe; the linked one is the most fit I've seen so far.

@LíamMurphy interesting. I had to re-read some sentences to make sure I got the concepts right, but it all adds up :) about the last 100 words - Iliked how the story went from "bit lenghty description" to "action-packed" (of sorts). Something though: when you share/publish it, add a disclaimer that it has... disturbing... implications. (I didn't mind, but others might)
 
oh true. apologies, i didn't think of that! ah i'm glad you though the transition was as natural as it could be, was worried
 
11:07 AM
no worries as I said I wasn't shocked myself but I guess some readers could be
 
thank you so much for reading!
 
you're welcome :) planning on writing others set in the same context?

ooh yeah that's a good point. i've written it for a short story competition. but robotics in the way of military use and also sexual use is such an important topic at the moment
 
11:22 AM
Which contest?
 
@Stormblessed Can you be a bit more careful with your edits? For example, here removing movie in the title and changing cartoon to animated were bad edits as you lost information. Then whilst it's implied the help was afterwards it isn't explicit so you may be altering the OP's meaning
Then the "I am looking for an" isn't really needed, brevity is fine and again the group of is only implied but I left that alone
 
That's quite international
 
yeah, i'm struggling to find any others! Do you know of any? :)

At this rate it would have been entirely from your question at some point
 
All the more reason to answer them.
I think I had another one I wanted to ask.
By the time I remember what it was, you should be able to earn again.
 
@TheLethalCarrot I'd be a little careful about the cuddles; those are some pretty big paws for her to grow into, and what's cute and cuddly now could get awkward when she's fullgrown and still trying to cuddle :-)
 
@RDFozz In the family we currently have 3 labradoodles, a wire haired vizsla and a beagle. I've gotten quite decent at dodging paws in cuddles though most are quite good at not hitting you with them haha
 
@Marvin Hah! I thought about exactly this problem a few weeks ago and considered asking a question like that (albeit somewhere else, where maybe the votes might also have turned out differently).

Formatting experts: How can I format a quote in superscript without having the number at the beginning of the line be subsumed into the quote. E.g. how do I get the "1." out of the quote in this example:
 
Paste what you've got so far so I can be lazy
This?
1. > <sup>some text</sup>
Or the 1. in superscript too?
 
The above image is from: 1. ><sup> But then, through the mist in front of him, he saw, with an icy surge of terror, the dark outline of a man, tall and skeletally thin, rising slowly from inside the cauldron.</sup>
1. ><sup> But then, through the mist in front of him, he saw, with an icy surge
of terror, the dark outline of a man, tall and skeletally thin, rising
slowly from inside the cauldron.</sup> leads to:
<sup>1. > But then, through the mist in front of him, he saw, with an icy surge
of terror, the dark outline of a man, tall and skeletally thin, rising
slowly from inside the cauldron.</sup> leads to:
 
@Alex That renders like the second to me

Sorry, the first one was:
><sup>1. But then, through the mist in front of him, he saw, with an icy surge
of terror, the dark outline of a man, tall and skeletally thin, rising
slowly from inside the cauldron.</sup>
 
So to clarify you want the second one but the 1. to be in superscript too?
 
Correct.
 
Hmmm not sure really... I'll have a try but I think your best bet would be the second option
 
And putting a separate superscript around the "1." doesn't work either.
 
Nah tried that

Q: Color Blind Short Story

Jonathan BrantleyThere was a short story I read years ago that has stayed with me in the back of my mind; I just can not think of the title. It is about an old woman who by happenstance meets a group of humanoid aliens. She is very kind to them, and in doing so they decide to be hostile and aggressive to humans. ...

Q: YA wizard novel about an orphan who becomes a witch and ultimately sacrifices herself to achieve something

nicki haI’m having trouble remembering what a certain book was called and I’d really love some help. It was the last of a trilogy (I read the last book first because they’re not related, really). It’s about an orphan girl who’s roughly 14 years old and has been raised by a sect of wizards who wear purpl...

6-year-old: Do dragons fart fire? Me: I don't know. 6: I thought you went to college.
 
@Alex It's kind of disturbing when your gut starts talking to you. Mine mostly just grumbles and rumbles occasionally.

Q: Can a Disney Princess be adopted into royalty?

Alex DownsCoz 2 of the optional requirements to become one is to be born or married into royalty, but it says nothing about being adopted into a royal family.

 
9:01 PM
@Marvin Does anyone have the vaguest idea where this guy gets these requirements from? I mean, I can't help but get the picture of someone who has this headcanon about Shrek and Disney princesses that's dozens of times larger than anything that exists in reality....
I mean, I'm borderline worried about this guy's sanity.
 
@Marvin this... has been goingon for quite some time now. What's impressive is that there's sometimes the odd upvoted, answered and HNQed question which, I guess, pushes away the question ban a little
Not that I want a question ban for that user (downvote-close-rommba works fine), but I'm surprised it hasn't kicked in yet. I mean, possibly the last ten of them were DVed-closed-deleted
@RDFozz eh, legit I guess
 
@Jenayah You got a Nice Answer from one of his questions. (Actually one vote away from Good Answer.)
@RDFozz Well it's the one that actually initiated the silent treatment. I guess it's disturbed that I talk to it.
 
@Alex Like she said, there are exceptions.
@Jenayah Dang, I missed the Biology of Dragons course at the Ohio State University. I might have actually attended those lectures, and done the labs).
 
@Alex I know that
 
^There was an online test option for Biology 110 when I was in school (one of the first there), and I got a B+ at least, attending two lectures and doing no labs.
 
9:14 PM
ahah, GG
 
@Jenayah The first half, or the second half?
 
@RDFozz - Didn't want to do bio labs - not into dissecting things.
 
@Alex both
 
@RDFozz You're on the wrong site then. Here we dissect non-existent worlds.
 
Are worlds things?
 
9:17 PM
Why not?
 
Do bees bee? Do bears bear?
 
@Alex OK, dissecting animals, or messing with plants.
@Jenayah Bees are, and if bears didn't bear, where would the cubs come from?
 
@Jenayah The bare bear can't bear that he was barred from baring his beard.
 
@RDFozz out of the people currently chatting here, I thought you were among those who could get the reference :^)
 
@Jenayah Dang - it did sound familiar, and I loved that show!

Q: GOT TV Show 6.10- The Winds of Winter - why couldn't the audience leave?

jw56578This is just one of those inconsistency things that bothers you. When all the people were in the Sept of Baelor for the trial and then they sensed something was wrong and then got blown up. Why would the sparrow guards try to prevent everyone from leaving. They were just the audience, they weren'...

 
@Jenayah What dictionary defines nefarious as "unspeakably wicked"?
 
Dunno, ask about the prop in M&TV's chat :)
 
Eh.
 
(it probably falls under their "it's off-topic trvia" policy... Although @NapoleonWilson could confirm/infirm my claim)
 
9:27 PM
@Jenayah Well, she did say their chat.
 
mh?
yes I did
and then I explained why the chat part
 
@Jenayah Don't get him started:
Jan 3 at 17:00, by TheLethalCarrot
I haven't looked into the Trivia policy properly yet to know exactly what falls under it except the obvious cases for it so didn't want to state as such confidently
 
@Alex hence why it's not TLC I pinged :)
 
yesterday, by Jenayah
@Alex literallly four lines after that:
 
Jan 3 at 17:01, by Napoleon Wilson
(Wow, we really don't seem to be able to get that policy across to people.) ;-)
^ two lines after that
bad math of yours
Nov 8 '18 at 1:09, by Jenayah
too much JKR rubbing off on you
 
9:31 PM
@Jenayah Well I don't have the option of editing your lines.
You have to make them more versatile.
@Jenayah He probably thought I was the one to mention the off-topic reason.
 
Oct 22 '18 at 1:07, by Alex
@Jenayah The simplest solution would be to just make you a moderator.
 
@Jenayah Whoops - lost track of the attributions (in spite of your name being right there, in front of the statement).
 
no worries :)
 
@Jenayah Probably a bad idea.
(At least on this site.)
 
I met with an actual astronaut today
 
9:42 PM
@NeoDarwin in space? :)
 
I wish
It's IAP at my college so we have a lot of our alumnus coming back
 
I'm considering to ask if the radioactive spider bite caused Miles to go to puberty earlier in the film. Was he just imagining that?
 
@NeoDarwin IAP?
 
Interesting Astronaut Professionals :-)
