ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though

Fantastic sub format for anime.

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don't find the anime enjoyable.

Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn't tolerate it enough to feel the fun.

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 15 hours ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.
