###Biography
A giant flying fire-breathing turtle from the ancient Atlantean continent. Awakened in the sixties from his millenia-long slumber by a nuclear explosion, Gamera rose from the ice of the Arctic to rampage across the world once more. Gamera started off as a bad guy, wrecking Tokyo until he was tricked and launched into space. But after he returned, he gradually became more and more heroic and developed an affinity for children... not in a weird way though. Across his many adventures, Gamera has traveled through space, befriended several annoying Japanese kids, and duked it out with the weirdest kaiju you can imagine.
###Thread Guide
This thread covers the eight Showa era Gamera movies. All footage used is from the original Japanese versions. Note that the cheaper movies like to re-use footage of fights, and I've ignored these "duplicate" feats just to save space unless the feat is changed in some way by the new editing. The eighth film is sometimes theorized to feature a different Gamera or be set in a different continuity due to a weird subplot involving a boy who thinks his pet turtle turned into Gamera, but details in the movie itself and external material cast doubt on that. It's also just 90% stock footage from the previous movies, so I'm just going to include the few original feats here regardless.
Hover over a clip to see what number movie it's from. Some statements are also sourced from the official Gamera website, old official guidebooks, and newer material published with DVD re-releases of the movies.
#Physiology
###Size and Guides
-
The 60 meters / 200 feet measurement is repeated later, and he's also said to weigh 80 metric tons.
-
External sources also give 60 meters / 80 tons for his stats.
###General Traits
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.
I just did a count of guild buildings built by the top players on my server in order to get an idea of what to build next. This is the results based on top 50 of my guild, top 25 friends, and top 25 neighbors. (100 total counted to make it easier for percentile)
Top 10:
100% Zeus
95% Cathedral of Aachen
95% Temple of Relics
95% Arc
92% Castel del Monte
88% Alcatraz
75% Lighthouse of Alexandria
72% Frontenac
67% Observatory
60% Galata
The next five are notably with highest level players:
53% Cape Canaveral
49% Arctic Orangery
47% Himeji Castle
37% Terracotta Army
35% Kraken
If you are curious, the rest in order are:
34% Tower of Babel, 25% St Basils, 25% St Marks, 19% Blue Galaxy, 15% Truce Tower, 13% Innovation Tower, 13% Space Carrier, 12% Dresden, 10% Hagia Sophia, 10% Delphi, 7% Flying Island, 7% Deal Castle, 6% Rain Forest, 6% Royal Albert Hall, 6% Star Gazer, 5% Capitol, 4% Virgo Project, 4% Nortre Dame, 2% Atomium 1% Habitat, Seed Vault, Atlantis, Colosseum, 0% Space Needle, Lotus Temple, Voyager, Gaea
The data methodology is weighted as 50% my guild in order to obtain preference, style and priority within my guild.
Edit: I am at Industrial and currently have all top 10 listed except Observatory which seems to have a low priority in my guild. Only 46% in my guild have Observatory but strongly push people to get an Arc.
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!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
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.
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.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
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!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
The doctor says it terminal.
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 😂
