So instead of:
Born January 23 1941
Died March 15 2017
You have:

So I was doing some research today and I noticed that "ditto" means "duplicate", something I have completely forgotten about. I did more research and found out that there is a ditto mark used to mark duplicates. And of course all marks/symbols usually have a character encoding for use in programming languages, here is the website describing the different encondings for the ditto mark Ditto Mark. It would be worth looking for these symbols in the game code.
As the title says. I've been catching for 30 mins and its never taken this long to atleast get a sociable.
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.
Someone asked a question at r/AskHistorians about Justin Martyr's claim that skeptics could just look at records of the census (from the Gospel of Luke)
The top comment (currently a little under 430 upvotes as of this writing) over there really bothers me, and I am going to explain why.
OK the commenter notes that Jesus was probably born in Nazareth and not Bethlehem, which I agree with.
Then things start to go off the rails.
He says,
>There is another Problem, and that is that it is far from proven that the Bethlehem that is attested for the centuries after Christ is indeed the Bethlehem mentioned in the old Testament (which is also attested in the Amarna letters). There is a fair chance that that what is today Bethlehem was only ascribed as such during the period in which also Justin Martyr writes (first half and middle of the second Century).
Wait, so people in the 2nd century just decided "yeah this town is Bethlehem"? What? Why?
>On a side note, if the Marcion hypothesis holds true it would make the author of the Gospel of Luke and Justin Marty roughly contemporary
The problem with this is that GLuke cannot be contemporary with Justin Martyr, because Justin uses a Gospel harmony that already includes Luke, as our best contributor at r/AcademicBiblical, zanillamilla points out^(1)
>For one thing, the gospel cannot be contemporary with Justin Martyr because the latter is dependent on a gospel harmony of the synoptics that is possibly ancestral to the one completed by his student Tatian, see (sexual harrasser) Helmut Koester's and William L. Peterson's chapters in Ancient Christian Gospels (SCM Press, 1990), pp. 360-430. So Luke is earlier than the harmony that Justin was dependent on.
The late scholar Larry Hurtado also thought Justin used a Gospel harmony that included Luke^(2):
>Second, if we examine Justinβs references to these βmemoirs of the apostles,β he often quotes from them, and what he quotes is recognizable, most often from the Gospel of Matthew, but also sometimes from Luke and (less obviously) the other familiar Gospels. Indeed, these references include narrative material, including references to the narratives of Jesusβ trial, crucifixion and resurrection (e.g., Dialogue with Trypho 101:3; 102:3; 103:6; 104:1; 105:1, 5-6; 106:1, 3, 4; 107:1). So, weβre not dealing with something like a s

They were cooked in Greece.
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!!!"
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 π
It really does, I swear!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
