80 Percenting: Putting it To The Test!

-

Hello Nerdfighters! I was recently listening to some episodes of Dear Hank and John  from late 2017 and I came across a particularly brilliant conversation. In  Episode 101: Knit Like a Mofo  (one of my personal favorite pod titles), Hank and John Green discuss the concept of "80 percenting". This conversation happens in the first few minutes of the pod when John was discussing how much effort he was putting into finishing the edits on his yet-to-be-released novel Turtles All The Way Down.  Here's Hank's response: "John, do you know about 80 percenting?... 80 percenting is the idea that the first 80 percent of the work is actually only 20 percent of the work and the last 20 percent is like 80 percent of the work. So getting 80 percent of the way there is 20 percent and then getting the last 20 percent is like 80 percent of the work. And so what you should do is just forget about that last 20 percent." Okay. That was complicated, Hank. I'm going to

What is a Mermaid's Diet?

Hello Nerdfighters! Over the past few months of Dear Hank and John episodes ,  one of the conversations I've thought about the most has to be the "Mermaid Diet" discussion of Episode 106: Mermaid Cannibalism . In this discussion, John and Hank Green respond to a query from a listener named Laura. Laura's question went like this: "So a mermaid is half fish and half human, right? What do mermaids eat? I know that fish often eat other fish, and that's completely acceptable. But if someone is half fish and half human... would [they] feel cannibalistic eating a fish?" Now, disregarding the fact that mermaids are totally mythical, this seems like a huge dilemma. If I were a mermaid I probably wouldn't feel comfortable eating a fish, but then again being completely sustained by seaweed seems somewhat of a nightmare to me too. John and Hank eventually came to the decision that mermaids probably do eat fish and considering fish species are very biolo

The Bath Bomb Compartment!

Hello Nerdfighters! Today, I am going to share my first attempt at putting the dubious advice of John and Hank Green into action. As you may recall, in a recent episode of Dear Hank and John ( Episode 123: The Incredible Glamorous Hulk ) , someone named Jacqui wrote in with an incredible question that went something like this... "I was gifted some bath bombs for Christmas but I don't have a bath tub, and neither do my friends. What do I do?" Now, I had never pondered this question before and it seemed like John and Hank hadn't yet either. What does one do with a bath bomb and no bathtub? I thought there was no true solution. HOWEVER... Hank quickly discovered the best possible answer to this question and came up with what I believe is an absolutely incredible idea: The Bath Bombardment Compartment; a way to create the bath bomb experience for shower lovers across the world. During the ensuing conversation, much to John's dismay, Hank sent out a call. A call
