Jeffrey "The Big" Lebowski. Not to be confused with Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski. Especially in financial matters.

Not if you like arguing.

I'm aware of slash commands. If it's a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
What's your source for this? I'm pretty sure "/s" means "end of sarcasm", borrowed from XML/HTML.

Are we assuming open windows or something? Either way, I've never seen ceiling fans used for ventilation, only for the same purpose as a floor fan, blowing air at you so you can cool down. Is ventilation a common use case in some places?

Does this person never leave their room? Why run the fan when the room isn't occupied? That's just wasted electricity...

Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn't some weird bracket, it's meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning "end of sarcasm". In full it would look as follows:

<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>

But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.

More like "throw all but Uncharted and that 4th one from the top".

Thanks for that etymology bit. I wonder why I never bothered to check, but it makes perfect sense, as I know Turkish.

And yeah, I should have used "sometimes" not "usually". Pan fried shawarma is a thing, while döner isn't, so depending on the way it's prepared it may technically not be kebab.

Btw, kebab doesn't need to involve any bread element whatsoever. In fact, in places that use the term natively, it usually isn't. Kebab is just any grilled meat on a stick, and often is just the equivalent of BBQ.

Fun fact for you: All döner is kebab, but not all kebab is döner. Because döner is just a type of kebab (grilled meat on a stick). Which also means that shawarma's status as kebab is questionable, as it's ~~usually~~ sometimes roasted or pan fried, as far as I know.

I thought that was a Captain Disillusion minifig.
