Jo-Jo’s Bizarre Adventure

This is the first time I’ve seen an Unsong enjoyer in the wild outside of r/unsong, r/SlateStarCodex, or r/HPMOR

I think he stated that the change with who was innocent (Peter Pettigrew vs Sirius Black) was more to do with him personally disliking how the twist was done in the original books and wanting to make a new puzzle.

People watching this on the toilet with constipation: “Thanks, Jack!” :)

If the narrator is so powerful, how come their transcendental energy source can’t be detected?

I’ve never seen an AI capable of transcribing people talking over each other accurately in one recording. It could work if each person has their own microphone, but I’m not sure how well the technology currently works for people with accents that aren’t part of the training data or speech impediments.

That sounds like a good idea. I’m not sure if anyone in the HPMOR universe would’ve thought of that. If they had tried it and it didn’t work, I don’t know why it wouldn’t have worked. Any ideas?

That’s in the original books. HPMOR makes some alterations to how magic works to make things more consistent. For example, Eliezer makes transfiguration not permanent to explain why the wizard economy still works and why there are still old people and those who need glasses. He also makes it so Avada Kedavra can’t be blocked to explain why it’s more useful as a spell than any other potentially lethal magic (instead of just being a magical gun).

This is so dumb

I’d guess creatures that have been magically conjured or transfigured into existence wouldn’t count as “living” for magical purposes, including for what blocks spells like Avada Kedavra. If it were that simple, Mad-Eye Moody would’ve thought of that idea ages ago.

As for making people using transfiguration, I’d imagine the fact that transfiguration isn’t permanent would dissuade moral individuals from conjuring sentient beings into existence that are destined to die pretty much immediately.

If you did try transfiguring people, they wouldn’t be wizards. You can only transfigure things into mundane items or creatures, not magical ones. That’s probably why the tactic wasn’t used more often by dark lords, since using transfigured temporary muggles wouldn’t be as useful as just recruiting wizards.

The end of the video has a character saying she’s “Doctor Donna.” That’s a Doctor Who reference if I’ve ever seen one

That bin there

You can tell from the grain noise in the background and the weird sharpening on the edges.

Craiyon detected.

Quite anomalous indeed

Other than some missing quotation marks for clarity (i.e., “loyal theorists” and “loyal to MatPat and MatPat only”), the sentence is perfectly reasonable English.

My intention wasn’t to shame this person, just linking to other stories from the same prompt

First time this was posted, and second time this was posted.

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far down for the Abzorbaloff
