I am morbidly curious to see how high GME will go this week. already peaked at $150 today - this stock was around $20 a month ago, and $5 a year ago!Not sure I'm curious enough to start a Robinhood account though... but money won is always better than money earned, right?

Should people be shorting GME or are there too many morons available to prop this thing up for long enough to make shorting prohibitively painful?
― Smokahontas and John Spliff (PBKR), Monday, 25 January 2021 19:34 (three years ago) link
it's because there were already people shorting GME, that it's rising, because the stock market
― Nhex, Monday, 25 January 2021 19:44 (three years ago) link
Is this situation ONE WEIRD TRICK that's inherent to shorting, and that GME happened to be the one company that this happened to?

trump would play a 1-player game, promise to hand it off to the grandkid when he lost, and then every time he lost he would claim he was cheated and deserved another free turn

Why did that video decide to put the punchline right at the start?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 26 February 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
probably b/c videos have about four seconds to get ppl's attention before they click away
― Canon in Deez (silby), Friday, 26 February 2021 16:31 (three years ago) link
Well, it worked, because even though the video is like a buck-thirty long, once I realized the bulk of it was the "making-of" the two-second joke, I didn't bother.

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 2 March 2021 18:44 (three years ago) link
i've said this on the MST thread, but the key to the classic period is that very few jokes are really of the type "hey, this movie sure is dumb/bad, huh?" and when they are, many of them get at that by picking up on some very small detail or odd bit of writing or production design that hits my brain in a left-field unexpected way. but YMMV!

As the comments point out, an interstice is defined as "an intervening space, especially a very small one," which is unfortunate, given the font choice.
