I love those optical illusion style paintings and sculptures.

I like the simplicity of some, the ones that fool you easily Very Happy

Away from illusions a bit, I love marble statues & this one is amazing in the fact it looks so soft & tactile. Those hips look squidgy ! cuddly !

Not in a million years would I have guessed that was marble. Shocked

Omg... 'I never said she stole my money' - Never crossed my mind that it could be interpreted in so many different ways. English sure is a weird language, now that you think of it.

My god... that was a demoralising day at work. Sitting at a desk has become very boring!!

by Pettytyrant101 Tue Nov 18, 2014 6:15 pm

Swap you for sitting on my arse all day, every day going slowly mad (ok madder)

by Lancebloke Tue Nov 18, 2014 6:16 pm

I felt like I was going a little mental today. Still quite tired though which doesnt help.

Always a bugger getting back into work after a holiday- let alone an action packed adrenalin rush one (not that Id know, my ideal holiday is a fortnight in a buckie brewery. With a straw. drunken

).

well you should always take your coat off when you come inside, otherwise you wont feel the benefit.

by Lancebloke Tue Nov 18, 2014 8:45 pm

.... what?

by Mrs Figg Tue Nov 18, 2014 10:45 pm

never mind crocodiles n white-knuckle rafting, keeping your coat on indoors is about as reckless as it gets. Cool

by Lancebloke Wed Nov 19, 2014 7:40 am

Ahh... now it makes sense.... kinda.

by Mrs Figg Wed Nov 19, 2014 12:12 pm

you never see Bear Grylis in a coat indoors. he probably gets someone to wear it for him.

I know we have a few reddit users here (malick, Eldo, and I think Forest), so I wanted to talk about something I did last night. It's something I wanted to do for a long time. Last night I took four popular reposts and posted them to /r/funny. When I went to bed an hour later two of the posts were gaining a lot of traction. When I woke up this morning I saw one of the posts on the front page of /r/all. In all I had gained about 7000 link karma. I was surprised how easy it was to game reddit with reposts. I had seen people do it all the time and finally tried it for myself. Sure there were some people complaining about the reposts, but they seem to be a vocal minority, as the majority on reddit will choose the familiar and popular content.

Overall a very interesting experiment.

by Eldorion Sat Nov 29, 2014 11:48 pm

I don't visit reddit frequently enough to notice most of the reposts, but I've heard enough people complain about it that I figured it was probably pretty easy. 7000 karma in one night is way more than I would have guessed, though.

On a semi-related note, upvoting/downvoting continues to be an atrocious way of organizing any online community if you actually want to foster meaningful discussion and a variety of viewpoints, and the idea that the popularity of ones submissions necessarily correlates to the value they add to the community (and vice versa) is so absurd that it shouldn't even require a response.

I hadn't posted in almost a month, so I just thought: what the hell, might as well try it. Since I was feeling optimistic I was expecting one out of the four posts to succeed. As of right now, the number of points on each is: 3,840 ; 2,750 ; 1,329 ; 21. I never guessed three out of four would be so successful. I also should mention that I used similar titles to when they were posted previously. The only thing I really changed with the titles was adding punctuation and/or quotation marks where I felt they were needed.

This became really clear to me when I realized what I didn't like about AUJ and started to talk about it on /r/thehobbit. No one wants to hear a "negative" opinion
