Here is a curious prophecy:
> Narrated Anas:
> The Prophet said, "A Muslim whose three children die before the age of puberty will be granted Paradise by Allah due to his mercy for them."
> Bukhari Vol. 2, Book 23, Hadith 340
And here is another related hadith with an unjustified twist in it:
> Narrated Abu Sa`id:
> The women requested the Prophet, "Please fix a day for us." So the Prophet preached to them and said, "A woman whose three children died would be screened from the Hell Fire by them," Hearing that, a woman asked, "If two died?" The Prophet replied, "Even two (would screen her from the (Hell) Fire. " And Abu Huraira added, "Those children should be below the age of puberty. "
> Bukhari Vol. 2, Book 23, Hadith 341
...which tells that the Hadith business is a joke, wishy-washy talk and words play after all. And people still think there is "wisdom" in it.
I recommend this article on prediction after the fact.

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.
Background: I’ve been working on a couple of side projects using data from board game geek. Thanks to great work by other folks, it's really easy to pull data from BGG for analysis.
My background is in quantitative research in the social sciences and I work in consulting for data science and analytics. I decided to put this background to work with data from board game geek for the heck of it to see what sorta fun what stuff could be done. I also love teaching quantitative methods and research design, and there’s no better way to do so than by using data that you know well. All analysis was done in R, with GCP Big Query used for data storage and warehousing.
Project: Predicting Boardgame Reviewers
Can we use data from boardgamegeek to predict what reviewers will think about a game before they review them?
If you follow a board game reviewer long enough, you start to get a pretty good sense for their taste in games. We know that rahdo tends to dislike games with conflict and take that mechanisms, Mark Bigney loves Reiner Knizia (and Loopin Louie), and Quinns has fairly eclectic tastes that often clash with the BGG community. When a new game comes out, we probably already have a pretty good sense of what our favorite reviewer is going to think about a game before they review it.
For instance, we know that Vital Lacerda is about to release Weather Machine in 2022, and we know quite a bit about the game already. We know the designer, the artist, the publisher, the mechanisms, the categories, and certain features such as playtime and player count. We could probably already take a guess what our favorite reviewer will think about Weather Machine. Can we build models to estimate this for us? That is, can we use historical data on Tom Vasel's preferences for games to train an artificial Tom Vasel that can predict what the real Tom Vasel will think about a game? What about Quinns? What about Rahdo?
The answer to this question is yes, sorta. It's actually a pretty straightforward predictive modeling task, given that we have ample historical data from boardgamegeek. I was able to use BGG user collection and games data to build predictive models for individual reviewers. This means I have a Quinns model that predicts the probability that Quinns will add a game to his collection (this sounds creepier written out than I originally thoug

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
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!

Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
You take away their little brooms
It was about a weak back.
