I’m on a roll, you guys
the relationship between Vetinari and Vimes is sooo funny, because it is extremely aggravating for literally everyone involved. Like at some point they have this kind of companionship, and neither of them are really happy about it ?? they have mutual respect for each other and for both of them it's the most annoying, head-ache inducing thing in the entire world. they are besties and both of them are mad about it. it's " help my weird boss keeps promoting me against my will and teaching me the ways of Evil" and " help my commander that I employed to annoy the rich is making my city better and teaching me the ways of Good". their lives are so entangled with one another they literally couldn't be any closer. their mutual dislike is so important actually because it helps them to hold one another accountable. that little bit of mutual distrust is CRUCIAL. they are actually the epitome of love, and wow do they hate it. they absolutely loathe it. my favourite relationship to be portrayed anywhere ever.
it's okay if you don't pass. it's okay if you don't want to pass. it's okay if you can't pass. you can still find happiness and peace in yourself.
please do express yourself in whatever way makes you happiest - to the best of your ability and safety. who you are is good. you are so wonderful, and people want to see you shine!

I figured the vendiagram between OFMD fans and Good Omens fans was just a circle so all my OFMD followers could still enjoy this poll.
I think people are vastly underestimating how complicated metallurgy and engineering are. Have these 20 people studied it beforehand? Because I don't know how to make steel. I don't know how to extract iron. I don't even know how to recognize iron ore. Plus I think it tends to be underground, so how do I know where to dig? I don't even have a shovel. Then I have to refine it and alloy it with something maybe? So I need to test different alloys and purification methods. And we need to feed ourselves all the while. Starting from absolute zero I think we'd be lucky to have a sword after 3 years.
its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops
I am happy to have discovered this wonderful addition:

I am happy to inform the public that there is a dataset of hair salons with puns in their name. It's all in French, but I can only applaud the effort and I hope that one day, similar work will be done for coffee shops, if only to simplify the work of authors wanting to check whether or not something is taken.
Names include such gems as Faudra Tiff Hair, United Hair Lines, Lucif'hair, No Peigne No Gain, and my personal favorite, Queer Chevelu.
John: Arthur it’s absolutely necessary you’re naked for the next part … Uhm because… danger.
Yes.
Danger…
