• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe to help the OP I’ll add a bit to your answer. The entire face of an analog clock is divided into fractional sections. Sounds like you’re really good at parsing those fractions, likely due to lots of practice.

  So, big hand after the nine and before the ten? Between :45 and :50. First half of that? Between :46 and :47. More toward the beginning of the split? :46

  Maybe OP hasn’t had as much practice so has to think about what 9 is in minutes? Nothing but practice would help get over that, I guess.

  I’ll admit to survivor bias in this case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating dogs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never met a dog who wouldn’t willingly make this trade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s not put the blame only on the parents. Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds working for a corp would understand that taking credit for work does not mean the work got done.

  Assuming the diapers aren’t tracked by barcode and there isn’t an independent inspector validating each operation, I would be MORE wary about my kid being well taken care of at a place that measures and tracks work this way. Especially since the types of management that would think this was a good idea are also the type to not understand how work actually gets done and drives to making the metrics look good at the expense of actually caring for human children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hadn’t noticed. I think you’d have to try to get translucent boxes versus a simple solid box. Seems intentional?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've often thought about this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They had bratwurst for a brief period in select locations. Don’t think they were called McBrats, but damn they were yummy. If I suddenly found myself transported to 1996 I’d seek out McBrats and the bacon cheese burger burrito from Taco Bell.

  Then my geriatric heart would explode and I would miss out on buying BitCoin, but it would be worth it.

  Every time I have to wait for a 10 year old game to “update” I want to murder whoever is responsible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bad board games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suck at Scrabble. Not because I’m bad at words but because I’m always looking for the plays that will collectively give everyone at the table the best chance to make interesting plays.

  Catan, though? I’m gonna block a sucker’s road and steal that grain, no hesitation.

  Nature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, he’s not getting made fun of for his shoes. They’re just a convenient target of ridicule. Son is about to learn a life lesson.

  I’m sorry. People are shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon predicts the future⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But, but, how will we monetize it? How!?

  /s

  I long for the early 2k internet. So much potential positivity for humanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Factually correct number tier list. I will not be taking questions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a bad list, but 6/9 being there and not pi or 11/32 is just criminal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people who avoid turn signals do it to feel more normal? (Imitating their parents, avoiding perceived stupidity of using turn signals when it seems useless, etc)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The idea that moving your finger slightly to support the smoothe functioning of traffic and the welfare of other humans is not “masculine” enough makes me want to castrate some fuckers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel attacked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s awesome! Well done, and keep up the hard work. Don’t forget to stretch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Running monkey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking, “Glad these are all of the monkey running away. Seeing that running at you would be terrifying.”

  Moments later, “Yup, I would shit myself seeing that little guy barrelling at me like that.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconded. The only reason I use Google is if I actually want an ad served to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd choose 4 tbh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  #4 three times. The rest seem fleeting (money) or attainable through hard work (strength). Unlike others in these comments, I think being happy constantly would be its own type of hell.

  But being tall is like being attractive. It is life on easy mode. As a slightly-less-than-average-height person an extra 6 inches would probably be the most permanent, positive impact any of these would have.

  There are definitely patty cake cool bumps when you become a parent of a toddler and a grandparent of a toddler. In those moments your coolness is off the chart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PBS President Says Trump’s Executive Order to End Funding Is “Blatantly Unlawful”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, man, I’m gonna go to hell for this, but… Reap what you sow, motherfuckers. You played both sides in 2016 and sane washed his entire first term. Not just public broadcasting, of course, but if anyone was ever going to stand up for the people it should have been the media outlet funded BY THE PEOPLE. From the moment he got the nomination you should have treated it like the shitshow it was. Instead here we are over the fascism cliff, Thelma and Louise style. And it is your fault as much as anyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A completely useful compulsion I have.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this is a common sense thing. If you don’t balance the mass the next time you pull it out of the fridge there’s a good chance the imbalance causes the carton to twist or to bang it on something on the way out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would this list look like for your generation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do this as well. Killed “bruh” in a weekend. The t-shirt idea is next level, though. Kudos.

  Nothing wrong with appreciating a strong woman. However, that sounds terrifying.

  Popped into my head randomly today so I queued it up. The universe sent me that song just so it could be in my ass.

  This phrase confuses me.
