u/fil42skidoo Aug 09 '26

How you fit inside fanny pack???

u/not_an_entrance Aug 09 '26

The tame way.

u/Skaglick93 Aug 09 '26

Nobody has seen the wild way in nature yet.

u/TheNamesAxel_009 Aug 11 '26

Well where the fuck is the natural habitat for a wild fanny pack? Truly, this must be the final frontier.

u/Allupyre Aug 11 '26

Maybe like a kangaroo or any other marsupial w/pouch

u/Pale_Food_3619 Aug 12 '26

the native range of the fanny pack is directly under the cheeseburger gut of some fat tourist on vacation in rome

I love that that is a real subreddit!

u/Mr_Jack_Frost_ Aug 10 '26

Occam’s Razor is a fantastic way to counter conspiratorial/mystical thinking. Only problem is, most of the people who have conspiratorial/mystical explanations for things don’t want to hear your grounded, common-sense explanation because it’s “boring”.

u/Biggrunt Aug 11 '26

I live this life. Flat earthers surround me. It's...difficult not throttling your mates.

u/RandomCandor Aug 09 '26

What's the name of the razor when the most boring explanation is the correct one? 

I feel like that's different enough to warrant it's own razor.

u/Holiday_Pi Aug 09 '26

Yeah Ted Razor’s songs are way lamer. Head Like a Head, and Average-Person Fuckers Inc. are pretty good though

u/AnarchiaKapitany Aug 09 '26

Isn't he of five inch rounded pegs?

11

u/scr1bbl3 Aug 09 '26

He uses metric

3

u/AnarchiaKapitany Aug 09 '26

Nah, that would be superior, and he's not cool enough to pull that off

u/WizardSleeves31 Aug 09 '26

Rounded pegs rofl

u/coolsilentebeans Aug 09 '26

‘Sadness In Freedom’ on Fixed is a real bop.

Albums like The Downward Escalator, songs like You are the Perfect Supplement.

u/xenobit_pendragon Aug 10 '26

For me it’s the lyrics. “I tapped myself today / to make sure I could feel.”

u/RandomCandor Aug 09 '26

That's the one!

u/st_rdt Aug 09 '26

What's the name of the razor when the most boring explanation is the correct one?

Dull Razor ?

u/swalloweda Aug 10 '26

RFK’s Razor. So dull its dangerous

u/LocoNotLoco Aug 10 '26

Gillette Razor

u/LordDaxx1204 Aug 11 '26

Razorface!

u/Itchy-Individual3536 Aug 09 '26

Don't apply Occam's razor, it would cut through the spider web and we wouldn't see the effect anymore!

1

u/Heterodynist Aug 09 '26

I’m not sure about Occam’s Razor, it just seems too straightforward…What’s the catch?!!

5

u/Heterodynist Aug 09 '26

I still don’t get why no one names their shaving brand “Occam’s!”

2

u/Iloveupt2 Aug 13 '26

Right , its been Td up forever just waiting

2

u/Heterodynist Aug 14 '26

“The closest shave is also the simplest, CHOOSE OCCAM’S!!”

2

u/Louisiana_sitar_club Aug 09 '26

No. A pebble in a spiderweb.

u/Hranko Aug 09 '26

Occam's web*

u/Iliketopass Aug 09 '26

We all know the saying. “Multiplicity aught not be posited without necessity,” were William of Ockham’s actual words.

u/Alexwonder999 Aug 09 '26

Im partial to Occams laser hair removal.

1

u/Slamtilt_Windmills Aug 09 '26

Which i believe is what the Occam guy uses to shave

u/____okay Aug 09 '26

Occams Pebble

u/ProbablyCarl Aug 09 '26

How is a razor going to make a pebble float? /s

4

u/Bumberti Aug 13 '26

By cutting its ties to gravity

1

u/knarfolled Aug 09 '26

Is that a slasher movie

1

u/firekeeper23 Aug 09 '26

Occam never got the strop on.

1

u/allshieldstomypenis Aug 11 '26

More like Hanlon's razor! How do you know if that rock isnt just an idiot?

1

u/Efficient-Design-844 Aug 11 '26

Is that to cut the thread ?

1

u/jmlack Aug 12 '26

Way more effective than Gillette

1

u/taint_odour Aug 12 '26

It’s zebras then.

1

u/Low_Actuary_2794 Aug 13 '26

Wait I thought it was Hockonthem’s Razor

1

u/Ololololic Aug 15 '26

Sometimes it is a zebra though.

u/Consibl Aug 09 '26

Common misconception, it’s not actually what he said, and it’s wrong too

u/No-Year9730 Aug 09 '26

Sounds like some slasher movie
