• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The unAbomber. Otherwise, I agree.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It was pretty clear from context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I choose hating your job in unconventional ways.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, this kind of display is called a dump bin. It’s meant to look like a chaotic jumble, but doing it with jars seems like a bad idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨optimal amount of syrup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fine, as the quantity of waffle approaches zero, the syrup to waffle ratio approaches infinity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy 3.14 Day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is it a cobbler recipe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I go crazy will you still call me Superman?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about “(I’m No) Superman” by Lazlo Bane, aka the Scrubs theme song?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shitty stores that penalise you for not having their store card⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love Dune!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  President of Sand Planet has big human arms?! My first instinct is that that sucks, but my second instinct is that it rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I deal with this at one of my jobs. We offer the moon to new customers, but existing customers are constantly getting screwed over. People complain about it constantly, but corporations have no incentive to reduce the amount of money they’re receiving from you, which could open the doors to losing income from every other customer who decides to ask, when they can just roll the dice on whether you decide to go through the hassle of leaving. It’s scummy and I don’t agree with it on a personal level, but the agent you’re talking to has no power to change the system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better safe than sorry⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing that gets me is that calling it a skill feels like a stretch. You need like 4 pieces of information to read an analog clock, most of which can be gleaned from looking at it. Sure, you might not be able to read one instantaneously without practice, but it isn’t exactly calculus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update on my Home-Lab now featuring a fully custom built 10" Aluminumm rack⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a miter/chop saw would be the best tool for the job, if we’re in the realm of power tools.

  “'Do you have games on your phone?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨winter fans⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen an Australian do the American thing of assuming the person they’re responding to is from their country before. For most of the English speaking world, higher latitudes = further from the equator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because you keep your step stool next to the toilet doesn’t mean you’re Squatty Potty-ing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian's criminal history went viral after annoying the wrong repair guy⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It must be harder than it seems, Louis was encouraging people to make their own version last year to no apparent avail. Makes me wonder how the pedophile guy figured it out in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s referencing a legitimate talking point about birth control, and in that light his comment made perfect sense. The whole second half of this thread reads like you got whooshed and then double downed after you realized what happened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did… did you click the link?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your second example is a perfectly worded admonishment, if the claims are true. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and all that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My spoon is too big.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, are we talking gigaseconds now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this mean I can finally stop going back a page when I nudge my mouse the wrong way??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  900k

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Naughty rats get the tube⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are on desktop. You have so many ways to deal with that problem it’s not even funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s been said a thousand times, but the books really are immensely better than the show. And they have a proper ending! The last 3 unadapted books are arguably the best part of the series, and Alex is there since there was no dipshit actor to get himself fired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should these be mandatory in public?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this an AI upscaled cereal guy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Swim at your own risk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If he’s been at it long enough to paint a wooden sign about it, I think the authorities are aware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sad that the guy attempting to correct your joke got more upvotes than you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we are going to rename the Gulf wouldn't this be more appropriate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Their comment was a joke, in case you missed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought, and a quick Google confirms, that it is used in the Harry Potter series a few times. Obviously, you might not have read them, but for people in my cohort, that was likely our largest exposure point to British culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold currently!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is way better than the OP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rather be homeless than have this as my job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Brother, you wouldn’t blow 2-3 cocks in an 8 hour shift if that was your only duty? After the first week, you’d be so good at it that you’d be “working” less than an hour a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes Chef⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re probably lactose intolerant.
