people who don't follow chess I promise this post is really funny

Karpov had cemented his position as the world's best player and world champion by the time Garry Kasparov arrived on the scene. In their first match, the World Chess Championship 1984 in Moscow, the first player to win six games would win the match. Karpov built a 4–0 lead after nine games. The next 17 games were drawn, setting a record for world title matches, and it took Karpov until game 27 to gain his fifth win. In game 31, Karpov had a winning position but failed to take advantage and settled for a draw. He lost the next game, after which 14 more draws ensued. Karpov held a solidly winning position in Game 41, but again blundered and had to settle for a draw. After Kasparov won games 47 and 48, FIDE President Florencio Campomanes unilaterally terminated the match, citing the players' health. Karpov is said to have lost 10 kg over the course of the match. The match had lasted an unprecedented five months, with five wins for Karpov, three for Kasparov, and 40 draws.

okay, yeah this is pretty funny

The Dublin spire isn't a bad looking landmark per se but why does it look like it was specifically designed to pop blimps

[what-even-is-thiss]

It looks like whoever designed this hates balloons.

[what-even-is-thiss]

It's a 120 meter tall stainless steel spike. Can't go in it.

[timemachineyeah]

this looks like it was designed specifically so you could trip a kaiju and impale them with it

[echojulietfoxtrot]

I used to hate it, but it actually makes more sense when you're actually in/moving around Dublin lol.

Most buildings in Dublin are less than 5 storeys high, so you can see the Spire from most of the city centre, and get to the rest of the city from it fairly easily.

The Spire is designed so it works as a landmark you can see from almost anywhere.

Before Google Maps was really a thing, and even now it is, you could use it as a physical reference point to move around the city, and you're kind of drawn to it one way or the other naturally. It's kind of a giant IRL map pin.

That means there's always a group of people at the base; teenagers meeting up with their buddies before setting off for the day, tour groups, folks from out of town just off the bus waiting their friends, and - my perpetual favourite - well dressed people with visible nerves trying to act cool as they wait for their dates.

So rather than a blimp defense system, think of it more like a spawn point.

Also when there's a Star Wars movie they turn it into a lightsaber.

[null-is-sparing-you]

for those interested, this is a good example of how "Major structure you can see from everywhere" is a good thing for cities. The needle, though maybe not loved by everyone, is exactly as EJF says - a navigational reference point.

If you were ever lost, you could look for the needle and identify a major spot in the city. This can help avoid getting turned around (since you can track your direction in reference to a single point) , or provide a known spot to return to if you get disoriented.

This would also mean that if someone was new, they could learn the directions from the needle to where they were staying, and then travel the rest of the city with confidence that they can find their way back when they are done.

Water towers can serve a similar purpose in smaller towns, which is one of the reasons why they're often kept, even when no longer used for storing water.

In conclusion, make fun of how it looks all you want, but this giant needle is now part of vital city infrastructure.

they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

[wizardarchetypes]

when I was a kid I had an old tv in my room that would always turn to unwatchable static in the middle of shows but one night my sister and I were watching Naruto & every time Kakashi was on-screen the static cleared so we were like “hahaha the tv looooves Kakashi.”

I had a Kakashi bookmark so we held it up against the screen as a joke but the static actually cleared up. Mystified, we tried different bookmarks and objects with the same plastic material but nothing else worked, only the Kakashi bookmark.

We ended up taping it to the corner of the screen and it stayed there for 11 years until we moved out. When I was older people would be like “can you move the bookmark off the screen” bc it did sort of block a bit of the view but I would demonstrate the static issue and everyone was always just like “huh. what the hell?? well…alright.”

No explanation, but thanks Kakashi.
