  Ivy League schools are just places to make connections with other rich people, so you can land a seven figure job right out of college and think they’ve earned it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PPE w⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay so this reminds me of something that happened in a college chemistry class and I was wondering if someone here can offer an explanation.

  We were doing an experiment that first involved dissolving some copper into a solution, then chilling it to add another ingredient, then heating it on a hot plate. After doing all the other steps, I placed my beaker on the hot plate and turned around, then I heard a hissing sound. I turned back around just in time to see my beaker flying off the hot plate, off the counter, and smash on the floor.

  My best explanation for this is that since the hot plate was already hot, some condensation from the previous chill step had dripped down, flashed to steam, and propelled the beaker off the hot plate.

  Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any Earth-based telescope would be able to see anything we left at the landing sites.

  I still daily drive an ‘09 Ranger with a manual. I’ve had multiple people come up and ask to buy it.

  Pump the brakes. You take your shirt off but leave your sunglasses on? What sort of backwards fuckin pageantry is that?

  None taken. Straight cis furries do exist, I’m one of them, although we do appear to be the minority

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No need to be rude⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s the other way around. Being an obnoxious, aggressive douchebag makes you more likely to drive a huge pickup truck

  It depends on the design of the toilet, and how much water it dumps into the bowl at each flush. Some toilet designs have a tank with a higher capacity than the bowl, so if it gets clogged then it’ll overflow. Pro tip: know where your toilet’s shutoff valve is, it’s usually on the wall just under the tank. If it looks like the toilet is about to overflow, just turn that valve off and you can avoid the mess.

  Sure, but I can fix a carburetor with a wrench and a screwdriver. Can’t do that with modern cars.

  Maybe a big courtroom like what Nuremberg was used for after WW2.

  A man can dream.

  Great story, but it descended too far into muscle-wank for my liking.

  When I was a kid, my family went to go visit some extended family in rural southern France. It was going to be over Halloween, and since the French don’t celebrate it, we brought some American Halloween candy for them to try. To our surprise, they loved it, especially the Reese’s cups. We had expected them to find it gross, since they had much higher quality chocolate in Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet there can never, and will never, be a situation where an infinite number of people are tied to a railroad track. So this thought experiment is meaningless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, so what’s the point of “proving” that there some “infinities” are “bigger” than others? What’s the practical application here? Because an infinite hotel with an infinite number of guests is physically impossible, so I don’t see the point.

  Dude, heterosexuality isn’t some kind of disease that needs to be cured. I would take intuitive understanding of Kojima’s plots, though.

  I…what?

  Well, childhood mystery solved. When I was younger, my family went to France to visit some relatives. One of the dishes we were served was a salad, and my mom told me it was called pee-the-bed salad. I was so confused and was terrified that I was going to wet my bed that night after eating it. I didn’t, but I had been wondering ever since then what it could have been and why it was called that.
