New forum game! "I dare you"

[Mouth for war]

Yeah like the topic say...I came up with this idea last night while browsing around thinking about activities. "I dare you" a little game,where one person (maybe me) will give out the first dare. could be "Swallow a raw egg" or whatever and the first one who proves with a photo/video that he/she did this gets to make the next dare. There will be no stupid dares where a person could get hurt or any illegal dares of course...If anyone have an idea to improve/organize this game feel free to tell me about it Soooooooo
Yay or Nay for this little game?

[Adeel]

Okay, I'm in.

>I DARE YOU TO REMOVE YOUR CPU'S COVER, TAKE A PIC OF AMD'S BEAUTY (i.e. Processor) AND SHOW US HERE.

[Mouth for war]

Haha ok cool...easy enough to start with. But I must wait till tomorrow...

EDIT: Whoa you say the cpu cover? I have no idea what that is...Thought you meant like just opening up the computer...but I must open something else as well? In that case no way...I'll only destroy it haha

[Ghost]

Let's keep the tone then, and add some safety to your precious new rig.

> I dare you this: Install the most basic version of Tetris you can find. Play it wearing a cool hat.

[Mouth for war]

Ok so the rules are that anyone who does this first wins the dare and sets the next one I'd totally do this but I have no hats at all!!!! I must wait till I get to work on monday to have a chance for this. Nice initiative Ghost! GAME ON!!!

By removing cpu's cover, I meant to say that 'slide off the side sheet' or whatever you may call it: Which, on removing, shows you the insides of your cpu. Btw, I assure you, I didn't ask to 'peel out' the protective cover of your cpu in the first place.

E: Let me rephrase that:

>I dare you to open your cpu, take a photo of amd's beauty i.e. it's processor and show us that photo, here, on this very place.

I hope that helps.

[Mouth for war]

ok i guess we have a double dare then!!! The photo was specifically meant for me though it seems like...I will do that! But that tetris dare from Ghost is open for everyone!

[qptain Nemo]

There will be no stupid dares where a person could get hurt or any illegal dares of course...

No life-threatening or illegal stuff? Pff, count me out.

[Adeel]

Thanks to qptain_Nemo for pointing this out to me.

By opening you cpu, I didn't mean to 'remove' your process from your cpu. I sincerely apologize for that.

Let me rephrase it (once again ):

>I dare you to remove your cpu case, take a photo of amd's beauty i.e. it's processor (without removing it from its fixed place - unless you know what you're doing ) and show us that photo, here, on this very place.

[Mouth for war]

"No life-threatening or illegal stuff? Pff, count me out." Haha I want to see more Jackass stuff of course but let's keep it a little less bone-breaking...for now...but if you want to do something more dare-y we can arrange something

You still keep rephrasing it by saying to open the CPU (Central Processing Unit), the processor. I'm sure what you mean to say is "Open your computer case and take a picture of your CPU"

Seriousy, Mouth, look at your avatar. Most badass avatar of the WHOLE forums. All of them. And you don't have a hat? I am all and !

Once again, my mistake. . Actually, it's a difference of how the term is used. Here, by refering to CPU, we usually mean the computer system. Not the processor itself. But I understand that it can give people, other than my real life gathering, a wrong concept. Thank you for pointing this out to me.

MoW, please do as Ryan has instructed. And yes, this dare is only intended for you, as a punishment, because you were the one who brought this up.

My father also calls a computer a CPU, his misnaming was breed from ignorance. Actually I've heard several older folks call it a CPU, probably because they're trying to be hip and sound knowledgable, and because of the obvious near potential of it being an acronym of sorts: ComPUter

But I assure you, it is not.

(Posting from my phone. Now lets put this thing back together...)

Next challenge: take a picture of your CPU's cup holder

[Adeel]

Khris, you're busted!

There you go*

Before this dare, I didn't know what a computer's cup holder was and had to google it. Also, sorry for the bad image quality but that's what I've atm. Moreover, I found an article on the very same topic. It's worth reading: Click here

No, it's definitely not because they want to sound 'hip and/or knowledgeable'. In many text books, here, you'll find the Computer being referred to as CPU. Also, it is definitely not called CPU because of it being closer to become the acronym: ComPUter.

IIRC, back then, we were always taught that a computer is something having all three basic components: monitor, keyboard and cpu.

I fully understand your point, though, that CPU is referred to the processor itself. Thanks for correcting me, dude!

*the above mentioned stunt has been performed by a computer-savvy person (who knows what he's doing, i.e, he's self-assured that he'll not break his 'cup holder'). Please don't try this at your home.

So what's the next dare, teach an old guy a CPU is not a computer?

[Mouth for war]

Ok Adeel..I dare you...if it's possible, to walk on the street with a dead fish in a leash and pretend it's your beloved dog (Photoproof is needed). My tired mind came up with this right now If it's not possible let me know and I'll think about something else (Of course anyone can do this dare if they feel they are up for it)

[Adeel]

It's not possible because of some reasons, Mouth for war:

1. As you may already know, Muslims worldwide are observing Ramadan. Being a Muslim country ( ), it's forbidden by the law here to take anything out which is edible.

2. I don't own a decent camera. My mobile camera is only 2 MP VGA one.

3. Dogs are usually not loved here, let alone a dead fish in a leash

4. Nor someone will shoot me with it.

5. I might get sent to hospital for mentally unstable.

Give some other dare, maybe. I'll try to do that!
