I got into an argument with a friend about me hypothetically owning a grizzly bear for 5 years and having tons of people over in its presence and nothing wrong happened and he still would freak out and leave my house after seeing the bear.

I used to have long arguments over who was suffering the most out of the relationship between Dick Dastardly and Muttley. I argued that Dick was getting it from his superiors for not catching that fucking pigeon and had to deal with his mentally retarded, chronically incompetant sidekick screwing everything up. As the superior, Dastardly has a huge burden of responsability, yet he is forced to care for stupid jobsworths who keep jeapordizing his career.

My learned friend argued that Muttley was mistreated, undeservedly beaten, always being stripped of rank, and his nervous giggling was an indicator of many years worth of psychological abuse.

I was trying to convince my friends that cutting off fingers doesn't count as decapitation because they are not freaking heads. This went on for at least ten minutes. It was funny, looking back, back, god, was it stupid.

Once i have a discussion about how we could reduce universal entropy to make the universe last longer.
"We could cover the sun with solar panels and store the energy and go living underground using the earth´s heat as power source." That was our best idea.
Cookie if anybody understood what i just said.

Some guy tried to argue with me that not only was there a Castlevania game on GameGear, but also a Tetris game.

There aren't.

I had an argument very recently with a fellow gamer about Mario's employment.
He refused to believe that, before being a plumber, Mario worked in a cement factory...

We called up the highest gaming authority, and she proved I was right.
He still won't believe it.

I made a thread about an argument with my friend over weather or not "jump the shark" was a real phrase, I remember I yelled at him and pounded my fists on the table in the public school cafeteria loudly after he said he hadn't bothered to read any of the evidence I sent him, I then found out he was fucking with me and knew it was a real phrase all along. I got trolled in real life.

It's been 2 and a half years, and my acting class is still trying to convince one student that kidneys do exist and are not made up by doctors to get money for kidney medication that does nothing.

I had an argument with someone (can't recall) whether or not he dropped a bucket of Ooblek onto my other friend. I had worse but I can't remember

I remember being at my mates playin Ragnarok and I stated that if I killed 1000 of these monsters then I should get this rare card drop from it (which had a 0.1% chance of dropping). They couldn't see what I meant. I went to say that if I was to roll a die 6 times then I am likely to have it land on the number 6 at least once.. and so if I killed 1000 of this monster than I am likely to get the drop.

It kinda went on for a long time, but at least it gave me something to do while I hunted. Hunting rare items was made more bearable for me if I set a target.

Wow, these aren't trivial or pointless...these are just plain stupid. The best example so far seems to be this guy's.

Arguing over what was the coolest space marine legion in 40k....

I said Word Bearers
One friend said Iron Warriors
Another said Space Wolves

We went on for about 40 minutes, arguing about which looked the most badass, which one would win in a battle royale, which one was the strongest in terms of armament and military might....


Yeah, we're all huge nerds.
Thats a trivial and pointless argument. Not whether or not if you were born in Ireland if you're considered European.

Mine would have to be why Luigi Green is cooler than Yoshi Green. It just freakin' is.

I keep telling my friends that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds isn't about LSD. (Oh, really? You noticed that it spells out LSD? Good for you, now go sit in the corner until you have proof that beats Snopes) I just ignore them if they bring it up now.

Whether pizza was invented in Italy or America. I can't believe I have to actually argue this with someone either...

If you consider a 63% chance of getting the item a should, then sure. But independently speaking...you'll probably never see that rare item. I could see why they wouldn't see what you meant...

It lasted quite a while. It was...

You have a 12 hour analogue clock (probably watch is a better example) and it only goes up to 12.00 not a 24 hour clock. So at 12.00 mid day (on the dot) would it be am or pm? And 12.00 at midnight would this be am or pm?

I don't think we ever came to an answer for that. If anyone knows could you answer it.
It's easy. 12:OO am = Midnight and 12:00pm is Mid day. Think for a second. Would you call 12:00 01 in Mid day AM?

My friends started an incredibly epic discussion on whether or not time existed or not. It lasted for around three or four months at least. In the end, the guy that started the argument ended up proving himself wrong. Three months of pointless arguing.

The pronunciation of the fictional names "Tyrion" and "Jaime".


(It's "TEER-ee-on" and "JAYM", right? My stupid friends think it's "TY-ron" and "JAY-mee".)
