@remi said in Today in reading the headlines...:
I heard this morning that apparently about 1 in 20 people are unable to form mental images when e.g. reading a book.
The report quoted one such person who said that one upside was they never got angry or disappointed that movie adaptations of books weren't matching what they thought the characters looked like, as they never had such a picture in their mind.
Wait, I forgot which thread I was in.
Study shows 1 in 20 Harry Potter's fans liked the movies.
Happy, ?
READ ANOTHER BOOK!

@DogsB well, that was that or some obscure Japanese manga-turned-into-anime and since I'm not as much of a weeb as you, I couldn't think of one.
Also, I'm now pretty sure that whatever you might write in response, internally you'll be thinking about a manga-turned-into-anime.

Actually, you reminded me there is far too much harry potter yaoi in the world. Truly, this is the darkest of timelines.

With manga turned into anime, the problem is usually that the money grubbing adapters can't just limit themselves to the manga and they generate a bunch of filler drivel to meet their episode quotas.

Nothing good comes with a harry potter tag.

I liked the Harry Potter movies. Sure, there were a lots of things to complain about, but I didn't hate them, like the SW Sequels or the abomination of the last airbender M. Night Shamalamadingdong has shat out.

I write things. You’d be surprised at the random weird shit that comes up in my search history as a result of “authenticity of the darnedest things”

That sounds like the kind of thing a weeb sympathiser would say.

@DogsB tensile strength of rope has come up before now, as well as all sorts of inquiry into Irish folk lore, etymology of place names, how termite mounds are constructed and their internal structure, British royalty circa 500 AD, and otter vs beaver physiology. That’s just this week.
There have been weirder I don’t particularly care to share.

I’m not sure you do. I’d link you to the relevant starting page on the wiki (it’s even probably SFW) but it demonstrates a level of nerd that I’m not sure you want to deal with.

Not even the most iconic one?

It'd help if they served coffee instead of whatever's in those fifty word rapid-fire orders that I'm surprised anyone can understand.

@Parody I’m torn between posting the “venti” (role models) clip and the “nobody talks like that” (louder milk) clip.
So I guess today is make-your-own-shitpost day.
