Teacher: Timmy, if you had $20 and asked your dad for $10, how much would you have?
Timmy: $20
Teacher: You don't know your maths!
Timmy: You don't know my dad!
Uh... Well, that's exactly what I was getting at, only I used a pun... But if you think that saying pretty much the same exact thing tops it, then, sure, whatever floats your boat, man.
Well, in case you're serious (sarcasm doesn't translate well on the intertubes) it's a play on words because math sounds like meth, like those ads that say "____ isn't normal, but on meth it is". I'm making fun of those classic, yet stupid sort of math problems where children somehow are carrying buckets with several gallons of water in each hand or (as the example I went with) purchase ridiculous amounts of food. It kinda irks me that some guy said exactly what the pun was getting at, yet gets a huge amount of +1 votes, some loves and a reply with a positive score saying that it "tops" my post, but it is what it is, I guess.
No need to get 'irked'. I just made a comment on your post pointing out the pun, and it got a few likes. Your post got POTD with over a thousand likes. Who cares if ONE person says that it tops your post.
You know something, I actually think a post of the year would be a pretty awesome feature. Only, the acronym would be POTY.... I don't even need to tell you why that's awkward.
It's not "party" I'm talking about. It's "potty", dude. Just one more piece of ammo for the trolls (The post is shit. Guess that's why it's in the POTY! lololololololololol)
Like I said on uservoice, give users a POTD button (similar to the HP button). This POTD button would only appear on homepaged posts and users could only use it 3 times a day. Then, the admins can choose from posts that have a high POTD vote.
It's democracy with an executive branch final decision.
Also, I think it's important that a brand new feature be created (a POTD button) instead of simply using favorites. People favorite posts because they individually enjoy them, not because they think the post will be universally enjoyed.
My two cents is that I much prefer the old system. The most favourited of the day is always easily accessible, so I've already seen it. When the admins choose it, there's a good chance I haven't seen it, or haven't seen it in a while. It makes the website more fresh.
I am taking AB, and our school board is covering most of the AP costs, so we only have to pay $25 for the AP tests. I am also taking English Literature & Composition the following day.
My calc teacher is seriously stressing out about the AP exam.
Hahahaa, wtf I've honestly never seen that comment. But it's not like anything on this site hasn't been posted at least twice before. And it's not like others haven't bashed people's comments.
Im pretty sure it was deleted, because even the one I posted a few months ago wasn't original. There plenty of posts like this. 1 being http://www.amirite.net/149062. If you take some time to search, you'll find more.
What I would give for those type of questions. Calculus isn't very fun when you do questions on the assumption that there are are imaginary numbers (i squared = -1). I mean it might as well be an imaginary answer.
Yeah they're sort of different, but not different enough. That was already POTD so I did not understand the point of this being the POTD as well. I realise it's not Anthony's fault as it is a democratic POTD, just saying.
(I accidentally went anonymous on the top comment for some reason).
FUCK. I HAD A FUCKING MINDGASM WHEN I READ THE NOTIFICATION: "Anthony replied to a comment you made on a post." THEN I READ IT AND I REALIZED I WAS WROOOOOONG.
Teacher: If you drink 7 glasses of water and sally has 5 glasses of water more than twice the number of you than what did sally have?
Student: a really full bladder?
Teacher: Timmy, if you had $20 and asked your dad for $10, how much would you have?
Timmy: $20
Teacher: You don't know your maths!
Timmy: You don't know my dad!
If Timmy had asked Dinkleberg he would've gotten it
DINKLEBERG!!!

Randomly purchasing 32 watermelons and then eating 17 of them isn't normal, but on meth it is, amirite?
That tops the post.
Uh... Well, that's exactly what I was getting at, only I used a pun... But if you think that saying pretty much the same exact thing tops it, then, sure, whatever floats your boat, man.
Where was the pun?
Well, in case you're serious (sarcasm doesn't translate well on the intertubes) it's a play on words because math sounds like meth, like those ads that say "____ isn't normal, but on meth it is".

True, true. I do pick at the little things too much sometimes. Thanks.
That was a serious question. I've never seen those ads (perhaps I'm too over protected) so I didn't really understand the 'pun' part, so thanks.
NOTHING TOPS POST OF THE DAY DAMMIT!... except...maybe... post of the year. But that's just a maybe.
You know something, I actually think a post of the year would be a pretty awesome feature. Only, the acronym would be POTY.... I don't even need to tell you why that's awkward.
POTD already sounds like party, though, so....

No, no. I know what you were saying. I was just adding the fact that POTD sounds like party. So, we'd have a party and a potty...
Oh, gotcha. Well, if we're at a party, we'll definitely need a potty. Especially after some dumbass invited Ke$ha.
That's what the post was referring to XD
Teacher: If you had 10 apples in one hand and 7 in the other, how many would you have?
Student: Fucking huge hands
Big ass pockets. Unless it's in hundreds.
@1200835 (Bearslayer):
I love both of those answers =)
I would say two credit cards
Apparently you've never organized a black family reunion.
except for the eating only 17 part.
y u so racist fo'
Well, I did say "randomly" XD
I think there needs to be a combination of both.
Like I said on uservoice, give users a POTD button (similar to the HP button). This POTD button would only appear on homepaged posts and users could only use it 3 times a day. Then, the admins can choose from posts that have a high POTD vote.

Nahh I think we are making too big a deal out of POTD that way.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
If Morgan Freeman picked the POTD, nobody would complain. Especially if you could play it in his voice.
wait, people aren't complaining. unless you deleted those comments. in which case this comment serves no use
The you?
My reply to this has already been written quite well (by myself) here:

Thanks for responding. It's nice to know if I ever have an issue it will be listened to.
I wish my calculus teacher would give me a problem that easy
AP test next Wednesday... :[
(Chauncy Pickles): Yup yup, I just paid $20 to get a 1 :(
It only costs you $20?!? It costs $87, per test, where I'm from and I'm taking 3!
Oh yeah, cause i'm on free and reduced lunch, the test fee is cut for my tests.
I'm of a lower socioeconomic level than you (:
It costs $100 USD where I am (Washington state). I know someone who took 14 AP tests last year o_O. Last year it was only $85 though.
That sucks my school pays for them
@1200817 (Chauncy Pickles): Are you taking AB or BC?
I am taking AB, and our school board is covering most of the AP costs, so we only have to pay $25 for the AP tests. I am also taking English Literature & Composition the following day.

i thought this was heading down the racist joke path...
I thought it was heading down a the dirty joke path. Various images in my head as I started reading "randomly purchasing 32 watermelons..."
Randomly purchasing 32 watermelons, 12 cucumbers, and 100 tubes of lube.
that was either clever wording or incredibly awkward wording
its a joke about the meth commercials.
Why Would anyone not eat all of their watermelon?! WATERMELON IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, 17 is an odd number...
LOL U PUNNY
Man I usually find you funny, but that's just racist.
:I
I must be black on the inside.
That's what smoking will do to you.
Yeah I here it goes great with chicken and waffles
hear*
Math; not even once
inb4 "Wow so this is what the admins of this website are like. Crazy."
This actually answered a lot of questions for me...
Zelda, is that you?

I hate imaginary numbers. Who decided we needed to take the square root of a negative anyway?
Exactly, I asked my teacher the point of solving those equations and she said "we would like to see the answer if such numbers existed" WTF?
Haha your username is StealthApple so this comment is perfect.
i've never actually seen one of those kind of problems in my math textbook
Yes!!
Number 2000. Thought I'd share. (:
wow that one was worded way better.

Worded way better. "On math"?
inb4 "I don't get it".
Here's your explanation: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/x...-on-meth-it-is --Anthony
"Irregardless", I like this one better.
ROTD sounds more like an STD.
Reposts are an STD

FUCK. I HAD A FUCKING MINDGASM WHEN I READ THE NOTIFICATION: "Anthony replied to a comment you made on a post." THEN I READ IT AND I REALIZED I WAS WROOOOOONG.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
i don't get it, either im stupid orrrr.... idk!
You're stupid. Read the comments.
Teacher: If you drink 7 glasses of water and sally has 5 glasses of water more than twice the number of you than what did sally have?
Student: a really full bladder?
Wow.. that was so not funny
well it was worth a try right?
