In the Rise of Rome, Anthony Everett calls the tyrant of Cumae Aristodemus the Queen, claims he made his fame as a male prostitute, and influenced the youth of Cumae to be effeminate or something.

Further research only alludes to an etymological connection to being effeminate. As curious as i am about the quality of his historical writing, I'd also like to learn more from the ancient sources about these rumors.

Build Description

"Hey guys this Build has made me the happiest ive been in a long time in this game. Ive grown so much and learned even more. I want to quickly thank MastaJdog, Jena, and Dodye for all the times they have answered my questions and helped me understand how things work. now onto the build. this was originally the U.S.S. Thraximundar but for this build I changed the name since this is a different beast all together, no longer the 15k dps TorpWell build I used it for. Now This is a 20k Dps Dragon Mobius that takes no survivors. Let me begin with the kinetic Cutting Beam and the assimilated console, they were holding this build back and I saw that when I was looking over all my initial parses. I read all the data and decided that what was holding my dps back was all the universal Consoles I was cramming on there. I quickly switched over and BAM a 4k increase in DPS. Now onto the Experimental Proton Weapon and the Proton Stabilizer console. Yes the crit chance is awesome but not if it is going to take away from my inital DPS, BAM 1.5k DPS more. So far I believe these have been my smartest choices possible. I have looked over so much data and parsed so much as you all have probably seen me put up parses where some people dont like to see them. ANYWAYS... I am more than happy to answer questions and take advice and I always weigh every option and try to use it all to my advantage. To all my mates here on reddit and those that just are passing by leave me a comment let me know what you would change, how my power levels could be and simply give me your 2 cents I honestly want it.

The name is because the spartan that lost his eye in the movie 300 since the build lost its other components but that only made it stronger like him. "

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

Mentos

(I will see myself out)

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

So I gave the GPT-3 AI a prompt (in Bold) for each otome game, and the AI replied (in Regular font) to complete the rest of the plot summary.

PS. The AI mentioned a cage in one summary, so I think it's got the hang of otome tropes.

Code: Realize

Code: Realize Guardian of Rebirth is the story of a young woman, Cardia Beckford, who is left alone in a mansion by her father... Cardia finds an enchanted blade, which slowly begins to affect her life. She soon finds out that the blade is one of the Guardians of Rebirth, a group of relics kept by her late father.

Cardia begins to use the SSS Incorporeal Blaster Sword to find out more about herself and her past, which leads her to meet a handsome young man with a deadly past, Aristodemus Langdaugen. In reality, Aristodemus is the Blue Knight, a powerful creature brought back to life by the SSS Incorporeal Blaster Sword.

---> NOTES: So the AI understands the first part of the assignment - the LI has gotta be "a handsome young man with a deadly past." Promising. But then the AI took a turn into a mecha or weapons-based genre with the SSS Incorporeal Blaster Sword and Blue Knight. Though I'm quite interested in the magic system with the "brought back to life" sentence.

Score: 6/10 - Interesting world-building, but too light on the otome tropes.

Collar x Malice

Collar x Malice follows a rookie police officer Ichika Hoshino. On her way home from work, she is attacked and a collar with poison is placed around her neck... She is rescued by Benkei, who finds a new weapon and chases the thief. The thief is revealed to be Aguri Takachiro, the son of a family who were involved in a feud for power over the company during WWII. Since he is the heir to the company, he is protected by an armour-plated catsuit (ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ) which absorbs any and all damage.

After Ichika is released from her cage, she fights Aguri, forcing him to flee with all the money she had earned. Benkei and his friends return home to find a notice that states their house has been burnt down and they must stay at a hotel, so Ichika rents the apartment and the group celebrate.

The next day, Ichika is called to the police station to answer questions about Benkei. Benkei explains his story, and Ichika is so happy to hear of how Benkei managed to overcome Aguri with the cat suit, that she sends her regards. After Ichika asks about how they know each other, Benkei explains that she sent him a letter asking to meet.

---> NOTES: Alrig

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

He lost May

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Said if she ever hosts a gender reveal party, when it comes time to pop the balloon she'll spray everyone with water.

Gender is fluid.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

But let me give it a shot.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

He’s the new temp.

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.
