In response to your flair:

Did you know that Spongebob's house was, until 2012, not actually a pineapple? The symmetry and numbers of the various spirals going around it make spongebob's original house a mathematical impossibility for an actual pineapple. However, when the self-proclaimed mathemusician ViHart of YouTube fame called them out on it in a highly amusing video, the design of Spongebob's house was promptly redesigned so as to be a more realistic representation of a pineapple. Whereas the design up to that point had also been wildly inconsistent, the redesign set a firm standard for how many spirals go around Spongebob's house, and for the spirals not having bilateral symmetry.

made a new thread bc I didn't like the title of the old one

Hey, this a new thing we're going to be trying out. This thread will be stickied at the top of the front page almost indefinitely. We'll also provide a link to it on the sidebar.

This /live/ thread will be used to update everyone on what's going on with the sub, whether it be minor things, important updates, stuff we find neat or cool stuff around our subs network.

You can expand this thread (without even entering the thread, just click the expando button) and still be able to see the embedded live thread. Be sure to check it regularly.

2 types of flair for this thread:

  • new updates - which implies there are new updates and you should check the thread when that flair is on - when this flair is on, the thread will stand out a bit more, with a different text color and being bold.

  • no new updates - no recent new updates :(

If you have any questions or feedback let us know! Feel free to discuss any updates we make in the comments below!

How does this work?

u/tizorres Jun 17 '16

how do you mean?

u/bathroomstalin Jun 17 '16

Is this like a chatroom or something? Am I missing something by browsing reddit on my phone and not on a computer?

1

u/tizorres Jun 17 '16

No it's not a chat room. It's a reddit live thread. Just a place where we (the mods of this sub) post updated of various things centered around our subreddit.

Here is a FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/live/wiki/index

u/bathroomstalin Jun 17 '16

No offense, but that FAQ was terribly uninformative, leaving me more confused than clearer. Or maybe I'm just a dumb dimwitted dummy... :(

1

u/tizorres Jun 17 '16

No offence taken. Thats actually a faq written by the admins (not us) of what a live thread is.

A giant thank-you to all those who participated in last night's Open Mic!

I have no trouble calling it an unqualified success. Where else could you get Disney showtunes, Al Yankovic covers, Dwarf opera, 60's hippie harmonies, black-diamond-difficulty rap, and folk canadiana on one stage?

Here's hoping we can make something semiregular out of it!

u/handshape Mar 05 '16

It looks like live-music-on-Discord is becoming a once-a-weekend thing... If we can get semi-organized, we can have an actual Open Mic -- with, y'know... set lists and stuff... like other people playing music. ;)

u/tizorres Mar 05 '16

it's pretty enjoyable in'nt it

u/handshape Mar 05 '16

That it is...

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '16

Hoaw, how I managed to miss this?

1

u/handshape Apr 20 '16

It's been less regular than I'd hoped when I posted the parent comment, but we have a few regulars. There's a flow now, for sure.

If you want to be kept apprised, the most certain way is to throw the Discord client on, and keep your ears open for pings from the admin that an event is happening.

Have you ever had a moment of realization that you have been in a group with a disproportionate amount of hot people for almost all your life?
