for some reason, people are caring about this. You should all go check out kiva.org because it is awesome.
holy shit. This is popular! I apologize if I skip your question. Reddit is only giving me 25 at a time. You may watch me answering these here: http://youtu.be/DiFyPTXRm5U
A little about me: I use Google+ because I'm, apparantly, a hipster. Favourite film is The Fall and have literally nothing better to do today!
People keep asking to see my stuff.... so...

Teal's a beautiful colour, worthy of 3rd place, but I lied, I am interested in the first 2.
ItsaMeMattio246 karma
After googling Heliotrope, I'm satisfied with your answer. Have a good day.
parrmorgan286 karma
fuck you Brennan! I know you touched my drum set and I want to hear that dirty little mouth of yours admit it!
dizzi80068 karma
I answered this, but I'm looking for a certain comment and found this. Essentially: A nobody that got to the front page. I point camera's at things sometimes.

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
MustacheBananaPants195 karma
If you were going to rob a bank and could only arm yourself with standard items found at the grocery store, which items would you choose and how would you use them?
Thanks, big fan.
dizzi800309 karma
I'd probably use a cake saying 'Happy cakeday MustacheBananaPants' and tell them it was filled with nitroglycerin.
Fake_William_Shatner24 karma
How about, "My other pastry is not deadly"?
It allows you to insinuate a threat, and then have plausible deniability later.
And, while we are here, what cake do you think would make the best weapon?
Targoloid163 karma
You gain the ability to transform yourself into a particular animal once per day for 30 minutes, whenever you want to. When you are in animal form you have no control over your actions, you act as the animal you turn into and have no recollection of the 30 minutes when you revert to human form.
What animal do you choose to turn into and why?
dizzi800268 karma
If you're wondering if it's the right choice, it probably is.
Unless you're one of my roommates in which case: No. You're staying, or at least paying rent :P
Targoloid112 karma
Man, everything in this thread is gold.
You could write it all down and memorise the questions and you'd be the best at casual conversation ever.
thetebe107 karma
How fast can you solve a Rubik's cube? If not, will you learn to do so and come back and tell me in your next IAmA (depending on the success of this one)?
dizzi800248 karma
I can solve a rubiks cube in 52 seconds on average with a personal best of ~36 seconds
dizzi800220 karma
Have you seen the movie The Brothers Bloom? well.. I'm effectively Penelope from that movie. I collect hobbies. I'm also really good at sleight of hand/magic/flourishing have an above average typing speed and reading speed, know how to yo-yo etc. etc.
thetebe50 karma
That is good, OP. Ok, I am about 30 seconds up from your personal best with my personal best.
Next time, we both better be under 32 seconds. Game on!
dizzi800578 karma
Every actor is on a scale of good to bad. Robert Downey Jr, good. Jim Belushi, bad. Van Damme, the good kind of bad. Johnny Depp, the bad kind of good. Nic Cage is unidentifiable.

If you could have any Dinosaur as a pet, which would you choose, and what would you feed it?
Targoloid88 karma
Which drug do you predict will be legalized after marijuana has become globally accepted?
dizzi800280 karma
Yes.
But I'm more of a personality man. Then an eyes man. Then lips. Then ass. THEN boobs.
dizzi800118 karma
either 2" long and 2" around, 7.5" long and 5.5 around or 5.5 long and 7.75 around
dizzi800175 karma
Nothing says I'm telling the truth about any of that. But you asked because you were curious. And I answered because I made a PROMISE
Rthomas4875 karma
any funny moment in your past that you can look back upon and still get a good laugh out of?
dizzi800300 karma
From a post I made in /r/askmen:
I was walking to work and I saw a pretty girl and thought to mself "Oh, she's cute, and she has a dog! A conversation starter! Maybe I can make a new friend!" I walked forward a bit and saw she was currently in an active conversation so I decided to not bother her. I pass her and she turns around and goes "Looking good!" Now... I am not used to this sort of treatment. It is the first stranger to compliment me like this! I get all flustered and, instead of turning and going "thanks, you too!" I turn and I say... "Thanks! I like your dog!" ... I am not exactly the smoothest guy on the planet >_>
thetebe62 karma
Haha amazing story, OP!
The best part is that she's walking around with the story from her point of view, thinking you told her of like a brain ninja.
dizzi800100 karma
This is a complicated question I am not qualified to answer. My thoughts:
If they are identifying as the opposite sex and are on horomone treatment, they should go to the gendered prison they identify as. More than willing to be educated in this topic though :)
psyne48 karma
I think you're thinking of transgender people -- "hermaphrodite" isn't generally used for humans these days, "intersex" is the preferred term. Intersex people are born with at least some aspects of both bits. Sometimes, especially in older days, the parents/doctors of intersex babies would decide at birth to surgically alter them to have one particular set of genitalia, but now it's considered mutilation to do that before the child can identify as a gender. That's also why some intersex people have to transition genders, because their parents chose a sex for them that wasn't what they ended up identifying as.
dizzi800101 karma
Thank you for the education!
I'll change my answer:
Whichever gender the person identifies as.
Penguinswin357 karma
If you could eliminate any number in existence, what number would it be?
dizzi80092 karma
I hope so. I just put down the first thing that came up on google! because that would mean I'm just that great :P
the_LCD_No_No54 karma
Would you rather have your penis the size of your nipples or your nipples the size of your penis?
edit: Grammer
dizzi80090 karma
Finally! this question! :D
I'd rather fight neither since I'm not a violent person but I'd say one horse sized duck.
illusoryCognition26 karma
As a proud duck owner, I can say that ducks are machines of SLAUGHTER AND DEATH. If a duck doesn't want you nearby, they have three primary systems. They will either
- Bite you
- Hit you with wings
- Claw you
Yes. Ducks have claws. Mostly for traction, but they can and will draw blood. And don't underestimate the force of a duck's wing strength. They use those bad boys to become airborne, and having something like that swinging at your face is not a fate I'd wish upon my worst enemy. As to the biting, it's not that big of a deal.
Now, that may sound survivable enough. But if this sucker's the size of a horse, we could be dealing with a creature more irritable than Smaug, and twice as likely to kill Hobbits. Also, approximately three times tastier.

I used to make something every week. Then I stopped :P
dizzi80068 karma
I dunno. It was time for me to go to college, and I was panicking and though "What makes me happy?" There was one, real, answer. Sleight of Hand. But I couldn't go to school for that so I thought back and remembered that I used to love watching behind the scenes in movies etc. so... I decided t go to Film School!
The rest is history1 I have had so many incredible opportunities open up to me. Best decision in my life I've made and it was made in like... an hour?
(It was film school or go to school for IT)
blaqstarr61 karma
Six-foot-2. I didn't know they stacked shit that high.You trying to squeeze an inch in on me somewhere?
dizzi80060 karma
Six foot 2 seems to be average-tall. Like... Most people who are tall fall in the 6 foot 2 range
Also, I'm pretty sure you are, quite cleverly, calling me a shithead. In which case Bravo. Bravo.
blaqstarr31 karma
sorry, i'm watching full metal jacket, go figure lol, my real question is what's a good movie to watch when it's 15 below? and are you a peter puffer?
dizzi80038 karma
Long time since I've watched the movie. Good reference!
Watch The Fall. One of my favourite films of all time. I think it;s on Netflix...
djle1232 karma
At a party, everyone shook hands with everybody else. There were 66 handshakes. How many people were at the party?
dizzi80082 karma
This type of question is actually how they are testing quantum computers!
but the answer is 12 according to Google.
dizzi80052 karma
Recently finished the Wes Anderson Collection, which is fantastic. About to start the Jack Nicholson Biography.
Speaking of Biography's: Peter Jackson's is FANTASTIC
dizzi800257 karma
As much as it want's because it's not held down by your societal expectations.
Afterburyner21 karma
Do you ever look at what's happening in the states and just laugh and or feel sorry for us?
JaguarJumper20 karma
If you had three spare hours with absolutely nothing to do would you reprise your AMA, watch trash TV, finally get round to tidying up or initiate something soul enriching?
I have a vested interest in this. I took the tv option.
dizzi80038 karma
I tidied up the other day, I'm doing the AMA today... I'd probably CONTINUE doing something soul enriching! BOO YAH! DBAG ANSWER!
dizzi80051 karma
Depends on how many times I have Ugly Faces by Watsky on repeat since I sing along to things that I shouldn't sing along to.
dizzi80027 karma
I can;t give an accurate answer, but I saw "Cool beans" like... times a day
dizzi80043 karma
Nuggets. Because it looks like there is more on my plate/in the cardboard box so I'll eat less...
This does not work in practice...
dizzi80036 karma
Yes.
As for music: It varies. right now lots of Childish Gambino, but usually more indie rock. I Highly recommend Dead Man's Bones which is Ryan Gosling's music project :)
dizzi80023 karma
Yes.
Did I want to?
No. My roommate hung around the house naked for a couple days for some reason T_T
funsizedme25 karma
Do you go to those Sundance film festivals over here? What about Texas, there are Dallas film festivals and Austin is a cultural hotspot. What do you really think of Texans? Lol.
dizzi80016 karma
Also, all the texan's I've met have been incredibly warm and accepting people with great senses of humour.
dizzi8008 karma
At times, yes. But usually I think about what I'm saying for at least a split second and go "Is this really fucking stupid?" "Yes." "Is it offensive?" "No. Great, say it anyways."

When meeting new people, what are the cheesiest ice breakers you've ever been a part of?
dizzi80013 karma
My friend swears by the line "Nice boots let's fuck" (He says 9 slaps are worth one yes)
but one's that I've been a part of? "Nice tattoo" Uhm... I don't know! I don't meet people andomly! ha ha. they are 90% of the time introduced to me/I to them at various functions. I guess "What do you do"?
dizzi8006 karma
Yes. Depends on the city. Where I am is actually one of the best places to get started. We have a GREAT indie scene and a growing 'hollywood' scene. Not to mention we have a bunch of programs centered around getting young/fledgling filmmakers creating fantastic films.
The more west you go (Toronto/Vancouver) the less the indie scene is a factor and the larger pool of people you're fighting for jobs. I don't know much about Montreal's industry because it's so different.
norefillonsleep3 karma
What is your least favorite movie or if you don't have a least favorite, a movie you walked out on it was so bad?
dizzi8007 karma
No least favourite nor movies I've walked out of that I can recall but... I hate bad movies and try to avoid them. Cheesy films that are excusing bad for funny. (See: Low budget slashers etc.)
Musg3 karma
I'm looking into being a script writer and trying to get into the movie biz. Any tips? And it seems like it would be something hard to pay the bills until you actually "make it".
dizzi8009 karma
Write. Write. Read how to write. Write some more. Read 'STORY', 'Save the Cat' etc.
Watch movies. Lots of them. Read scripts, lots and lots and lots of them.
Maggiemayday3 karma
Will you be joining us at BUrning Man this year? Think you might enjoy that thing in the desert?
dizzi8005 karma
I'm broke. I'd love to go.
I went to a music festival here in Nova Scotia awhile back called EVOLVE. It was fantastic but filled with 16 year old's doing too much E and just too drug centric (Even compared to other music festivals). Burning Man seems more art centric.
Ozmar3 karma
You are in a Zombie apocalypse, running from a large group of zombies. You come upto a very high bridge, which is blocked on the opposite side. You are not able to climb or get over before they catch you. Turning back is not an option as you will run right into them. On you, you have 40 feet of rope, a knife and a handgun with 10 bullets. How you you escape?
dizzi80013 karma
40 feet of rope ges tied to the bridge and myself. Jump into chasm and let rope catch me. Allow zombies to either run away/get bored and/or fall of cliff. Climb back up and pick off stragglers with knife or gun.
anUrbanFurvor3 karma
I have some background extra experience. Will you please use me in a film? Preferably a speaking role. Not main or anything, just a supporting role. Thankskbye

Last person that you truly wanted to murder? Like, if no one found out, what did they do and how would you have murdered them?

Huh... No one. I can;t think of anyone I have ever truly wanted dead, especially by my hands.
dizzi8003 karma
Halifax for a hybrid of city and town, Toronto for the big city, vancouver for rain and pot.
