The Wadsworth Constant

[GasBandit]

Ladies and gentlemen, a new internet rule has been born. It is called the Wadsworth Constant.

The rule simply states that the first 30% of everything is unneccessary.

Oh my god it's true!

I was watching Tron legacy on Netflix, and wish I knew about this.

The LotR movies follow an inverse Wadsworth Constant, then. The opening scenes of all three movies are the best parts.

Also, nobody gives a rat's ass about your stupid made up production company or your opening credits full of names no one reads or cares about.

So we have inverse Wadsworth constant and Wadsworth constant

given anything, either first 30% or last 30% are unnecessary?

Actually, I think how the Wadsworth Constant applies in this case is that if you miss the first movie, you can watch the last two and still understand what's happening.

It's the 'everything' that needs to be worked out but for the most part I support this.

Obligatory joke about a wad's worth on my prom night.

Obligatory joke about a wad's worth on my prom night.

The first 30% of which was unnecessary as well?

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Wait, hang on...

 

[Officer_Charon]

The first 30% would be the prom, itself

Yeah, the least essential 30% of any prom night, really.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

...The Wadsworth Antithesis.

(I really d)unno, I'd really be interested in at least testing it.

(Nobody really h)as to be a douche about it.

(I didn't meant that last) sentence to sound negative - the constant cut the meaning out.

(Hmm. I do believe) I've found a slight issue here. Wait....

He did say it only applies to YouTube videos, and he's wrong.

I need to go to bed, I read the title as the Farnsworth Constant. That would have been much cooler.

But if I'm listening to a song on Youtube, I might end up starting at the first chorus. And then I won't know why she's singing about getting down on Friday.

The Farnsworth Corollary states that that first thirty percent is surprisingly often "Good news, everyone!"

It seems someone on Reddit is aware of this thread.

Fuzzy McBitty posted in that reddit thread. "I used to be on a board with Gasbandit!" Yeah. THIS BOARD.

PS - Fuzzy McBitty doesn't post any more? Huh.

Well, at least halforums is on the first page when you google "wadsworth constant."

True, true. It's our own little bit of internet fame...

And now that Reddit image is on the main front page of /all. I thank whomever took the screen shot, but that would have been some excellent pub!

I posted a screenshot to reddit and Halforums was one of my open tabs.


You're welcome.

I skipped the first 30% of this thread and still know exactly what you all are talking about.

Blast from the past, anyone?

Quit complaining. Last time we got on the front page for a new meme it crashed the fucking site. Kanye style.

We don't even use 1/10 the bandwidth we could. Back then we were at Arvixe. Now we're on a screaming server at URLJet. We could take the Kanye thing again without even blinking.

Oh that's right. Now the forum only goes down when you do something.
