re: ukpol 

@tobi ah yeah, british-style betting odds

they're in the form x/y, where for every y you bet you get x if you win

so in the case of fuel if you bet £2 on it being the first thing rationed and it is then you'll get £15, translates to about an 11% chance of them expecting it to be the case

ukpol 

PaddyPower has opened books for "Which thing will be rationed first in 2019"

They've set the odds on most of the items somewhat unsettlingly high

@jk you: so for your ingredients you want some arugula, some zucchini, some eggplant, and some top round

me: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THOSE THINGS ARE

@codl matches the instability of the pound if there's a no-deal brexit

@maple as far as I'm concerned having this lovely fluffy cuddly instance keep on going is reward enough

but I'm certainly not going to turn down stuff

@kara@witchcraft.cafe well yeah, it's not like they're going to go out and order little jars with their brand name embossed on them

@Finfell eh, wizards

they're bound to have snakes all over the place

later horcruxes would have been a bunch of keys he forgot the purpose of, some dead batteries, and a bit of string

Show thread

yeah, they're horcruxes now, but seriously, an old diary, a necklace, a ring, an old trophy, a tiara, and a random snake?

dude was clearing out his junk drawer

Harry Potter and the Wandering Around to Find the Contents of Voldy's Junk Drawer

video games homophobia 

@gar yes, because I totally see myself in a hamster controlling a giant ball

Hot take 

@Jo yeah, yeah, he's got the horcruxes, but if it takes over a decade for him to regenerate after being killed then popping a cap in his ass gives you a nice long time to track down voldy's junk drawer

Hot take 

@Jo also completely ignored the muggle world

If just one wizard had said to the MoD "hey, we got a wizard hitler type situation here" they could have skipped a lot of effort with just one cruise missile strike

Harry Potter, surveillance out lack thereof 

@Jo also all these fuckers running around yelling "EXPELLIARMUS!" and nobody thought it might be an idea to put a wrist lanyard on their magic stick
