My favorite thing is “We wouldn’t have had the technology to go to the moon in 1969”
So Apollo 12 (1969) 14 (1971) 15 (1971) 16 (1972) 17 (1972)
Were all fake too?
So we faked the first moon landing and then proceeded to fake 5 more moon landings in 3 years?
That sounds real smart

Do you know what relativity means? You keep saying it
A 6 or 7 year old child is ~120cm
Average person 160cm to 170cm
Relatively, a 3:4 ratio
For a tall person at 200cm (6’6") that would be the same as 150cm
Average woman is 160cm
Yes a 200cm person standing next to a 150cm person looks like an adult standing next to a child height wise. Yet to them a 150cm person is much taller than 120cm. 1 foot difference.
Why does your mind jump to “they look like they are with a child?”

- Comment on Soda pop 3 weeks ago:
It’s the whole “Is Pepsi fine?” Thing.
You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.
Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.
You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.

Torso and appendages
Head/neck being an appendage is arguable. But basically because there are better words to describe it, not because it isn’t one.
Axial and appendicular

I’d recommend one of [these](fanttik.com/…/fanttik-b10-pro-electric-air-duster…
A cheap no name brand works too but I enjoy this one. Definitely overpriced at full price but it’s on sale.
You can also pay a little more and get a duo tool that’s a tire inflator or a vacuum as well as a blower. Great for the car

It’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.
There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.
If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.

You’re assuming people who are forced to buy into the suburban hell have a choice.
If a person had a choice between a 100k house in a suburban hell or a 100k house in secluded heaven. That they pick the suburban hell.
Have you seen the housing market in the US?
It’s also funny how “Suburban” meaning has changed. It’s supposed to be non-urban.
But with these “suburban” neighborhoods in cities. It has basically became a word for a neighborhood with houses built next to each other and less about where it’s located.
Suburbs use to be an inexpensive option as opposed to urban living.
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 6 months ago:
Highly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.
It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.
It’s honestly mind blowing
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 6 months ago:
I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.
Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.
I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.
I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.

As someone with long hair and a long beard I haven’t been carded in basically 10+ years.
Last weekend I got carded buying a beer with my parents-in-laws. Of course one of the very few times I didn’t have my ID.
Two 65+ people order a beer and then like, oh we’ll get your beer on our tab to make things easier. Bartender “I’ll need to see his ID”
We all couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t upset or anything, it was just kind of absurd feeling. I’ve been drinking for almost 20 years.
It’s one of those situations where common sense should be allowed to be used.

A picture is worth a thousand words
“Hi I am…I am looking for sex”
If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You’d look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)
But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.
So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.
They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.
If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.
It’s no risk, high reward

Man goes into ED with 🍎 in butt. This time the 🍎 that was removed had two bites. They thought the bites would let them grab it.
If you break the bottom of a💡 the globe becomes weaker. Which is essentially what is in the picture. Probably thicker than a light bulb. I’d say it would be hard to break.

- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 7 months ago:
Thought of something else. Your water heater stays on 24/7.
The only hot water I use in the morning before I go to work is to wash my hands.
If I don’t get home until let’s say 5. I’d need to wash my hands some more but I don’t need hot water until I take my shower at 9.
So really I would be keeping 80 gallons of water hot for 23.5 hrs so I can use ~30 gallons in 15 minutes.
It’s only keeping it at ~120°-140°F (~50°C) compared to 210° (99°C) of the instant hot water tank.
I have a tankless water heater so that’s not a problem for me, but seems crazy thinking about it now.
Which leads me to my next thought. I wonder if they make tankless under sink hot water dispensers?
- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 7 months ago:
I’m talking about an instant hot water dispenser which can put out 210°F or 99°C almost instantly.
You have three main ways to heat water for something like tea.
1 Boil on stove top
2 Electric Kettle
2.5 Electric Kettle with larger tank and dispenser (Zojirushi)
3 Instant hot water faucet with heater tank under cabinet
*Microwaving water can be very dangerous
My opinion is while opinion 3 is the most costly, it is super nice and convenient if you use it often.
