- Comment on Advice for moving to NY? 39 minutes ago:
But do NOT give ANY money before signing a lease. Those are only scams. There's no such thing as an application fee or showing fee or anything like that.
- Comment on Are fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field during geomagnetic storms actually enough to cause stress on our cells and bodies, or am I encountering junk science? 6 days ago:
That is very clearly a NOT reputable source. A reputable source on a scientific topic will almost NEVER be a site that's entirely about a single highly specific topic and be painting it all negatively or all positively.

Look at her picture, based on her apparent age i doubt that's correct
- Comment on Name me country which has better food than England 1 week ago:
It's not banana slices, when she presses it down they maintain their curved shape and it makes a crunching nose
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
That won't make a difference. You need to pull the hot water up before you start the dishwasher, but after that you can run the sink with pure cold water and it won't change the dishwasher temp at all. The dishwasher is connect to the hot water pipe directly

For ants, it probably doesn't get more special and important (other than being queen).

- Comment on How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce? 1 month ago:
I've never made a tomato sauce specifically, but ime with sauces - water is the enemy in the final product. So be sure to cook it a lot to get enough water out to make it nicely thick

But you HAVE heard of me
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 2 months ago:
iirc smoke machines actually produce water as fog, not smoke. But i could be misremembering
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 2 months ago:
My unpopular opinion is that /c/unpopularopinion is a garbage topic for a community, and it amplifies bad takes because even if people refute it in the comments a lot of people just read titles of posts and never look into the comments

I have never encountered this situation. I literally am not even sure what situation it's describing

- Comment on So unfair 4 months ago:
I think that was a particular brand that some people started to use as a generic name like kleenex
- Comment on So unfair 4 months ago:
Yes, but also don't fucking smoke where other people have to smell and inhale it if they don't want too. That part is NOT what all the previous generations fought so hard for
- Comment on Complete lunacy. A toaster... really... a toaster? 4 months ago:
And instead of paying 20 bucks for a toaster, these smart toaster allow you to spend several hundred on it instead! I just looked it up, and this isn't an exaggeration. The prices i saw ranged from about 200 - 500 dollars
- Comment on There was a time when people had to deal with all of these being separate 4 months ago:
Young people today are increasingly choosing to have separate dedicated-purpose devices. And that's probably a good thing. It decreases distractions, lets you focus on what you're actually trying to do, and makes you less addicted to your phone, and avoids the always-connected evils that come with it
- Comment on Interesting how if you live close to something famous like the pyramids or the NYC skyline you just take it for granted. 4 months ago:
I lived my whole life in nyc and i try to imagine what it would be like to come from a smaller place and see skyscrapers for the first time. I can never really imagine what it's like

- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 4 months ago:
Except that would alter the space of the person behind you
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 4 months ago:
I assume his "now" is a typo for "not". But obviously that's just an assumption
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 4 months ago:
Agreed, each person should have their own space that no other passenger can alter. If you want to recline it should be within your own space. For example the seat butt should slide forward, or you should get an angled pillow to put behind your back. Or alternatively all seats should be reclined 100% of the time and you should get an up-slanted pillow for your back so you can sit upright.
However it's done, everyone should have the exact same amount of space that no one else can alter

The crew didn't ask him not to, OP asked him not to
- Comment on Haiku 4 months ago:
Sure that's fine. I guess more broadly the rule should be that you can't alter anyone else's space
