    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???

      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.

        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.

                I have googled shit about shock and gunshot wounds and first aid so many fucking times that they probably could prosecute me for something.

                let it be a challenge to you

                  I’m struggling to think of an extremist ideology I haven’t researched in depth for one game or another. My FBI agent must be confused af.

                    I didn’t research Flat Earth for a MU, but by the time I was done, I was definitely wondering if I could find an OWoD Mage game I could sneak that past as a paradigm.

                      Most recently, debridement. Got a bit into the wiki page, then immediately went to the other people in the scene and just went, “okay we’re going to time skip until the procedure is done, cool? Cool.”

                            @L-B-Heuschkel I assume the “You know you’re called” bit is a reference to something?

                              @Pavel Yeah, the game’s theme – the Called are the player character protagonists. The funny in question was more the browser history issue, though – in the light of this discussion. 🙂

                                On a WoD game I played a dockhand (or harbormaster? I can’t remember) who was a changing breed oceanborn spinner dolphin. So I heavily researched the area surrounding the fictional town, and made a map of basins and banks.

                                        But also, we used to do fambly breakfasts every week, so just about every Sunday morning you could find me and Puffin in a restaurant, talking about war and setting up ambushes and killing people. (We were both Firan staffers). Got some very interesting looks.
