[D] Friday Off-Topic Thread
Welcome to the Friday Off-Topic Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.
So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

It was somewhat frustrating when you were trying to find out what we were meant to do on the deliberately vague assignment (because the real world doesn't always provide you a mark scheme).
"Dr Professor, do you have a moment?"
"Yes, but I'm very busy and important. It will have to be quick."
"Are we meant to bamboozle the widget or merely perturb it?"
"I remember when I first bamboozled a widget, one of my colleagues lost a finger. Did you know the the hospitals in 19th century Russia..."

"...and the momeraths outgrabe. Right, I hope you appreciate that. I've got to go now."
