4.2 billion from 4 dials would require ~256 positions per dial, which these don’t appear to have anywhere near that many markings.

It looks to me like each of the four is actually two dials stacked atop one another. And eight 16-position dials is also 4.2 billion.

I was under the impression that it was a limited series, so season 2 existing at all defies my expectations.

Who says you get a choice?

Maybe it was someone else impersonating you, or maybe you accidentally fell into a time portal, or were pushed. Whatever the case, the fact that you’ve already experienced the result proves that whatever you may try to avert it won’t work.

Purina makes primate chow, though it is intended to be served alongside fresh fruits and vegetables.

And, of course, is not meant for human consumption.

It’s not even neon!

The numbers are verse numbers, used for citing specific passages, e.g. “Ezekiel 23:20”.

I would assume that the letters are annotations, and that this is likely an academic Bible.

Well crap, now I want LotR but Gollum is Jason Sudekis (not mocap, just him) and everybody else is a muppet.

I mean, sometimes novels have framing devices that muddy the water around origin, authorship, veracity, etc. Usually it’s obvious enough, but it can be nice to have clarification.

The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI’s fsn file manager running on IRIX.

A simple mistake: he meant to say “gilded age”.

used the word ornament, or an adjective to describe the balls

You say that as though testicles can’t be ornamental. (Or festive, sparkly, etc.)

Top left somewhat resembles a real life technique called half-swording.
