Fuck it, that was a quality answer.
But not a quality audience.
The fuck? You'd think a casino would let the drunk dude keep losing money.
Probably a liability or legal issue if they're too drunk.
Funny but no casino would stop a drunk guy from losing money at the table
It's a high bar; he might have been poor and making the rich people uncomfortable.
I would have silently gone in my head ABCDEFGHIJKL and then said "MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", but I suppose I could have said "MABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", or should I say "MABCDEFGHIJKLOPQRSTUVWXYZ"?
Come to think of it, why do our letters have a standard order, and if they have to, why that one? A better order, off the top of my head, is OUEIAPKGHXBDPTMNLWYVZSFRCQJ
The reason the alphabetical order is like that is because it was passed down all the way from the 14th century BC and potentially before, so a lot of sound changes and mild order changes happened (like Z going from the letter after E to the last letter) and you have the modern English alphabetical order
You left out an 'N.' I'm gonna have to escort you out of the comment section.
Clearly they're drunk, get 'em outta here
If drunk people aren't allowed on Lemmy, we're collectively gonna have a problem.

Because some Phoenician jerk picked it arbitrarily about ten thousand years or so ago and it stuck.
Those dang Arizonans are nothing but trouble, I tells ya..
Thank god they make decent ice tea
But your version doesn't match Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as well.
I strongly believe we should teach the alphabet as qwertyu iopa sdfgh jkl zxc vb n and m
Why not Dvorak? I have been told its way more efficient typing, though also completely incomprehensible.
Because then it would start with .
COLEMAK 4 LYFE BABYEEE
if you're having issues with dismissing that voicemail notification you need to wipe data from the "phone services" app, it doesn't show up normally and you need to enable "show system apps". don't disable it, just wipe the data
I'm not, but thanks.
Light mode keyboard and dark mode app? Shame on you
The system changes modes at sunrise/sunset but Voyager is always dark mode.
Maybe Seedy He Effed G, Hate I JK Ellen Mellow Pee
Look 'm in the eye and say M A C A B. It's not about repeating the alphabet, it's about asserting dominance.
Should he have said, "Mthe alphabet"?
That answer should have been worth a free drink and a taxi home
Can see myself doing this while not drunk lmfao
Fine: "the alphabet starting with emm"
Alphabet starting with M? Hey, prescriptivist dingdongs, you can't just say there is now apparently an alphabet that starts with M! Those things don't exist in vacuum - if you make something like this up, you have to go all the way and define such an alphabet clearly!
Rules mean nothing unless they clarify established language use conventions! Which is why I think descriptivist approach is better in most cases.
Sounds sober to me
Malllphhhhpabehhhh
