[@JonahSunrise]

it's pretty clear that Fern wanted the question to be "Which aircraft crashes more than airplanes?" which does make sense, but that moment was so funny-

[@porkjerky2149]

oh, i thought the natural progression would be "which aircraft crashes more into helipads?"

[@nowandaround312]

It was such an unexpected continuation of the sentence that it ended up being hilarious, but it was also quite clever. If John had continued it properly it would have ruled out the chance of Greg guessing "airplanes" which is the first thing everyone thinks of when they hear the word "aircraft."

[@a_wild_Kirillian]

​@@porkjerky2149, that's super clever, but also requires you to remember what a helipad is. Which isn't likely. I like your thinking, however =3

As someone who works in a pharmacy, can confirm: You WOULD look mad if you came up to the pharmacist and asked for rubber ducks.

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

In Canada, Shoppers Drugmart, a pharmacist operated chain, the staff were regularly meeting with consignment salespeople pitching selling “whatever” items for the seasonal area of the store. Sometimes there were gifts to influence the decisions. Most notably for me is the faux leopard skin trimmed Santa Cap. You literally have no idea what will be seasonal beyond Valentine, Halloween or Christmas candy.

[@sourabhkatti]

But... but where else do you buy them?

[@sandoumir4348]

I think we are confusing medical pharmacists with chain store pharmacies. Which is most definitely the place to get rubber ducks. and flip-flops, and flashlights, and bike repair kits, and crayons, and plastic bricks, and umbrellas, and whatever cheap plastic crap that clutters up any normal household.

Fern is such a mood. Her going off to find the ducks and socks (which are not hidden, but they are, though), then cut to her again, still looking, but wearing a crown all of a sudden. Major vibes of "I started cleaning the house but never finished because LOOK WHAT I FOUND!". My adhd brain feels so seen. 😂

She's on the autism spectrum, and as someone with both autism and ADHD istg they both want you to stop what you're doing because you found something cool.

Ahhhh I knew the lamination task would have a second part. I was thinking to just do simple tasks in case it was like most instructions completed wins. But then John gave me an idea. Just do “don’t” on each one. -don’t sit down -don’t sneeze -don’t jump Etc. That would’ve resulted in 100% while still writing plenty of instructions if needed

[@Mikhanius]

I knew instantly it would be a two-parter, but I was thinking it could go either way - either having you complete the tasks or having another contestant do them (so the harder they are the better). I would think the best option would be tasks that are easy for you but are probably hard for others. Like reciting some events from your own life or smth.
