friday meme: meme dad

About

Meme Dad is an advice animal image macro series featuring a photograph of a man laughing to the verge of tears. The captions in the series portray various remarks made by Meme Dad about various memes, with the top caption usually following the format “Oh X”, with X being the meme’s name (for example, “Oh Wonka”) and bottom caption being a realisation about the meme (for example, “you’re always so sarcastic”).

Origin

The image of the laughing man (shown below, left)was submitted to the /r/Funny subreddit^[1] on June 1st, 2012 in a thread titled “My dad recently discovered memes. He’s 38 and he’s laughing so hard that he’s crying.” The thread hit the front page, gaining more than 16,600 upotes, 1,700 points overall and 1,300 comments prior to being archived. The same day, Redditor hiddenxninja2 submitted an image macro version of the photo titled “New Meme Dad” (shown below, right) to the Advice Animals subreddit^[11] the same day, adding a caption depicting the man’s perceived response to Socially Awkward Penguin. The post only received 7 upvotes and 2 points overall.

Measurements that confuse me

    Nearly everything in the world can be measured by numbers and the higher the number the more/bigger the item is. However, some things don’t follow this obvious numbering scheme and they make my head hurt.

Women’s clothes

      Let’s assign an arbitrary number instead of a measurement. Now let’s skip every other number. And let’s make 0 a size. 

 

     How can 0 be a size? It should be the absence of a size. But it gets even worse. What if it’s smaller than a size 0? Well let’s call that a double 0. So somehow 00 is smaller than 0. Obviously the creators of this system were not mathematicians.

Bed sizes

A twin bed is the smallest bed. From the name of it, you’d think it could fit 2 people, but it can’t. 

     Then you look at the other sizes: Full, Queen, King. So maybe a twin is just half a full? That would make sense, because as we all know, a twin is only half of a full person. But 2 twins don’t make up a Full anyway. 2 twins would be wider than a full. However, 2 twins would be the same width as a Queen, but not the same length. Confused yet? At least King and Queen make sense, it’s easy to tell which on is bigger. But it gets tricky when you get bigger than King. There’s a California king that’s even bigger. So I guess everything is bigger in Cali? I thought everything was bigger in Texas. Maybe they should just go by playing cards and call it an Ace. How about just calling them by their length and width measurements? Nah, far too easy.

Wire gauge

So the smaller the number, the bigger the wire? 

     That’s really confusing. So say I’ve got a 12 ga. Wire and that’s not big enough. So I’ll switch to something bigger. How about 2 ga.? No that would be way too big. What's the biggest size you have? Size 0. Huh?
 
 

 

Tennis scoring

   The first point you win in a game is worth 15 points. So is the 2^nd. But the 3^rd is only worth 10. I’m not even gonna get into deuce. For example, if I win the first 2 points of a game, the score would be 30-0. Now if you win the next point, you get 15 points. However, if I were to win that point, it would only be worth 10. That’s racist.

But here’s where they really get me. Every time someone wins a game, there score is increased by 1. Then when they win enough games, their number of sets is increased by 1. When they win enough sets, they win the match. So the creators of tennis scoring understand how to keep it simple and add 1 for every game won, or every set won, but chose not to do so for every point won.

On to the most confusing measurement system

Light bulbs

They have different sizes, but they are labeled with letters.

I can’t even argue why it is a bad system because I have no idea how it works. I just match the letter of what I need, or I bring the burnt out bulb with me. Good luck getting the right one, cause I can’t help you.

friday meme: do a barrel roll

About

“Do A Barrel Roll” is a catchphrase used to call on someone to perform a 360 degree horizontal spin. The phrase is sometimes used to caption image macros where the subject appears to be in mid-rotation, or in animated GIFs where the subject is performing a full rotation.

Origin

The barrel roll has been used as an airplane aerial combat technique since dogfighting emerged in 1913 during World War I. The barrel roll maneuver was later included as a move in the Super Nintendo console game Star Fox that was released in the US the spring of 1993. In the game, the player could perform a barrel roll by double tapping the L and R buttons, protecting the ship from enemy lasers. The phrase “do a barrel roll” comes from the sequel Star Fox 64 released on July 1st, 1997, in which the character Peppy Hare orders you to “Do a barrel roll!” while approaching 4 stationary turrets firing lasers


On November 3rd, 2011, the Google search engine enabled an easter egg for the search query “do a barrel roll” that would rotate the entire screen 360 degrees. The trick was subsequently covered by Kotaku^[2], The Huffington Post^[3] and Tech Crunch^[4] the same day.
