- Comment on Discussion - what is the last movie you couldn't finish? 1 week ago:
I think there has only been one movie that I haven’t finished, even if it was only because I was comfortable on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn: You Don’t Mess With the Zohan
I think the wife and I made 15 minutes before calling it quits l.
Pretty much the epitome of " I expected nothing, and I was still disappointed"

This one never fails to get a solid chuckle out of me!
The comedic timing of him freaking out about the bush just a few beats after the firework chaos does down is just… chef’s kiss
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 month ago:
I had no idea what a “Dutch angle” was, so I googled it and was pretty tickled to find that it triggered a Google easter egg :)
Maybe I am one of today’s 10,000 but I had never heard of that particular one!
- Comment on It's just taken me 55 minutes to watch a 35 minute episode on Plex because of crashes 1 month ago:
Or just run both, period!
Plex is definitely more straightforward to maintain remote access to your content (including library sharing with friends & family). So it may be worth keeping up for that aspect alone, even if you end up liking Jellyfin better.
- Comment on Recommendations for a shower mirror? 1 month ago:
I know this isn’t exactly what you’re asking, but after trying different sprays, coatings, and cleaners to keep my mirror fog free, the most foolproof way to deal with fogging is to deal directly with the cause: the mirror surface is cooler than the surrounding hot humid air, leading to condensation. Running the mirror under shower water for 5-10 seconds to warm it up before shaving has never failed me.
Just thought I’d throw it out there since the anti-fog coatings eventually wear off.
- Comment on House Centipedes 2 months ago:
That’s honestly why they creep me out the most. Spiders will generally be chilling out in a corner somewhere you expect to see them, doing their own thing, and not moving much unless directly disturbed.
Most of my experiences with centipedes involves them darting out from under a baseboard at night and scaring the shit out of me when I’m only half awake. Then by the time I realize what it was, it’s already scrambled across the floor to disappear under some other piece of furniture.

I had to google what “387th Penny” meant. Apparently “penny” is short for “penetration flight”. So this was his 387th flight into a hurricane

I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven’t thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

- Comment on I remember a time where you would get multiple results from a search with no scrolling 4 months ago:
They exist only so you stay on Google’s page and don’t follow a link to another site.
That may be true, but I’d say in the neighborhood of 1/3 - 1/2 of my searches are answered by auto-compiled info cards or similar artifacts.
Just by way of example, my wife and I were casually researching cars lately, and one of the criteria is “does the damn thing fit in our garage??” Typing “Mazda CX-9 length” and having that specific info presented immediately is immensely preferable to clicking into edmonds.com and scrolling through an entire table of specifications.

They also don’t have any sharp corners or break into sharp pieces,
This man has never been within 10 meters of a IRL pringle.
- Comment on Is land inclination included in area calculation? 4 months ago:
The photo of the terraced farming actually brings up an interesting point–in order to render those slopes usable for farming, terracing approximates the “flat” projection of the terrain anyways, so you end up with the same result. Buildings and any other usable structures follow the same rule: you can only build vertically, so the effective surface area is the same as the flat projection.

I like so many things about Costco, but they absolutely go batshit insane with the timing on their holiday items.

Excuse me, sir or madam. This is science memes. Science dad jokes is that-a-way 👉
- Comment on everything actually important is already metric 6 months ago:
Europeans literally see no irony in throwing shade at Americans for hanging onto their traditional measurement system, while also speaking 27 different languages in the span of a few hundred miles.
Maybe come down off your high horse until you get that situation sorted, eh? >.>
- Comment on Nature Valley: 10 bars in 5 packs 7 months ago:
To be fair, this post is pretty much the epitome of mildly infuriating.
- Comment on Nature Valley: 10 bars in 5 packs 7 months ago:
Not discounting your mild infuriation, but I am 100% certain that if they switched to being individually wrapped tomorrow, a complaint about excessive packaging would be one of the top posts here.
I’m not sure about Germany, but these have been sold in the US for decades now, and have always been 2 bars per wrapper as long as I can remember.

Not as bitter as that guy lol
- Comment on Annoyingly similar buttons with very different functions 7 months ago:
On top of that, I swear the UI changes 1-2 times per year with software updates. It’s hard to pinpoint since I’m usually 90% asleep when interacting with the alarm, but I know it has changed from tap to swipe and switched sides at least once since I got my last phone in 2022.
There is absolutely no reason for that shit. If you look at an old school alarm clock, the snooze button is the size of a small country, and there is usually a much smaller button or sliding switch to make damn sure you meant to turn the alarm off.

- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 8 months ago:
Or do you actually not do this and live in a disgusting, filthy, dirt-covered house all the time?
Sadly, in my limited experience with people who wear their shoes inside by default, it has been this one.
- Comment on Every single jigsaw puzzle in the store was one of these. 8 months ago:
I have this exact puzzle!
The small differences actually make it fun to put together, and my spouse and I both enjoyed it!.

Honestly there is enough rage bait everywhere else, so it’s nice to have a place to commiserate over the truly petty annoyances in life.

God… I can barely remember the time before the top comment threads of every goddamned post were always lazy strings of circle-jerky jokes that you could predict before even clicking into the thread.
