Unnecessary Research

A recent study shows that this daily flash is based on all those random surveys/studies about stuff that should be fairly obvious to anyone with common sense (like this research study). Anyway, I spent way too much time making this daily flash. At first, you might not realize why, until you go back to rewatch it (for lack of a better word).

Photoelectric Effect

I really do spend too much time writing these fake newspaper articles. But it’s fun, so that’s fine. Also, if I hadn’t decided to make this daily flash, I would not have looked up the photoelectric effect on Wikipedia and I would not have known that it was discovered by Heinrich Hertz, who has a nifty SI unit named after him.

They probably stopped calling it the Hertz effect because then there would be two things named after him, which we all know can’t ever happen because it’s completely impossible. Or maybe because “photoelectric effect” is a name that actually says something the effect itself, rather than about the person who discovered it. Because it has to do with photons which are part of electromagnetic radiation.

Taxes

This is perhaps the one of the most uninteresting things that I can ever make a daily flash about. I don’t know why, but I thought taxes might make an interesting daily flash. I spent some time thinking how I could possibly make this interesting, and then eventually I came to the realization that income taxes can never be interesting or fun. But here are some interesting tax-related quotes, and here are some interesting tax-related… tax deductions.

Anyway, the reason for this daily flash is that today in school, we had a guest speaker from the tax preparation company H&R Block who came in and taught us about filing income taxes (in addition to advertising the company), since we would have to do it eventually. I learned a lot more than I knew before (I knew almost nothing about taxes), but I also learned that filling out those tax forms in the future won’t be very fun at all. But then we got free H&R Block post-its, pamphlets, and pens, which I guess is pretty cool. But not really.

Government Initiative Names


I enjoy writing these fake newspaper articles way too much, especially coming up with the acronym for this one. Yeah! (Or perhaps I should say “yeaaaaaaaaaaah!”)

Daily Flash #200


Here we are! Daily flash #200! I guess it isn’t technically in the traditional daily flash format, but I thought I had to do something that wasn’t simply copying/pasting random scenes from older daily flashes and changing some of the words, so I decided to make this!
