Weirdest Things You've Researched for MU*s

Solstice

Plausible HVAC-related causes of death.

Testament

Yearly corn crop rotations and how that affects the surrounding wildlife during colder winter months.

Also, and anyone who knew me on the my turn while playing Magnus on Arx, I got really into being as oddly specific about wild animal herd cultivation, harvesting, and protections as it relates to mammoths.

Some of my fellow players, oddly, thought this was weird sticking point to me, to which I would reply, “THEY ARE CULTUALLY SIGNIFIGANT.”

@Tori “NO YOU WOULD NOT CALL IT ‘TANZANITE’ you’d call it TWILIGHT STONE or something. GOD.”

Damn you Tiffany’s straight to hell!
(except at C’mas time - momma needs to get the girl spawn fancy earrings)

The amount of times I’ve excitedly found a nifty blue stone name, only to discover it is found in some far-flung RL land wholly impossible to pass for or be found around Arx as semiprecious…

But then you ask me and we find one!

Me. You mean me, with the number of times I went “Angel, if you want to bother staff about things that might help get the House more active, ask about plot. Please don’t send Apostate another 14 pages on the meticulous management of shaggy elephant herds to approve. He does not care.”

@Third-Eye I felt a little invasive googling AA meetings in Grand Lake County. I don’t need uhm actually need this, but I’m glad it exsits for those that do? Sorry.

bear_necessities

How to perform an emergency appendectomy. What does it feel like on <insert hard drug here>. Most recently, what types of tasks do janitors do? Lol

Mourne

How much energy would a goldfish release if it were to explode via nuclear fission.

Roadspike

@Third-Eye The record of the local high school football team going back ten years (and every high school football team in Denver for a particular 4-year period and every Division II college football team in Colorado for the subsequent 4-year period).

Gregory attacks Dust with Broom but Dust EVADES EASILY!
Victoria attacks Microwave with Cleanser but MISSES!

GF

Whether spiders have tongues.

Pixel

“How to make meth”

@Rathenhope photo ID and proof of address, yw

@Aria Look, land management and conservation is not wrong. And this is my hill to die on. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I was raised on a farm.

Pros and cons of different types of melee weapons.

“…Is…is that a weird thing to research?” I ask, certainly not sweating profusely

Tat

I’m not sure this is the WEIRDEST, but it is the most recent: how hormones are synthesized for birth control (answer: pregnant mare urine or, if you want to get painful shots, apparently YAMS).

@Yam what are you doing???

Warma Sheen

Every neighborhood in a city to desc the grid, down to Google street view in VR. Done most recently for LA, but previously Chicago, and Manhattan.

Jumpscare

I figured I’d have the same questionable search history as everyone else since I’ve had to research a ton of topics that I knew nothing about…

But ultimately, I can only conclude one thing:

Anyone who reads my search history must think I’m an absolute dumbass.
