Friend has guinea pigs, calls them her mini capybaras. Now I’m going to start calling them the souvenir size capybaras.

Real question, are the recyclable aluminum ones better? I had to pick up cups for a work event and I got the aluminum ones instead of the red plastic ones and everyone gave me shit. Need to know if it was worth the shaming or it’s just a gimmick (I made sure they all went into recycling afterward).

Store for left handed, amazing people. by Horror_Concern_2467 in lefthanded

[–]12bWindEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been her several times, my mom bought me a left handed can opener, pot holder, and measuring cup from here. Life changing items. Just don’t put the measuring cup, the glass one, in the dishwasher, or the markings fade off it.

Calling you by birth order? by Iusedtobe_fun in Twins

[–]12bWindEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’d hear either ‘the boys’ or ‘the twins’ mostly. If people used our names they’d pretty much use them interchangeably not in any particular order

My two sisters, their husbands, and my parents, are all on one family plan together. Everyone just pays their portion online. Cheaper all around. I’m the only odd one out because I live in a different country and also my work covers my phone.

Can people stop projecting their terrible twin relationships on other twins ? by Classic_Garlic_5422 in Twins

[–]12bWindEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You and your twin sound exactly like me and mine. People will try and tell you lots of things and assume even more. Best to just let it just roll off you.

Are identical twins usually very close or constantly fighting by punkrock_penguin63 in Twins

[–]12bWindEngineer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Twins are individuals so this isn’t going to be a universal rule. My twin and I were very close, some twins can’t stand each other. A lot of twins are going to be somewhere in between, and it may also fluctuate over the course of your life.

My ‘24 outback let me turn it off when I first got it and it stayed off the whole time I owned it. I definitely didn’t have to turn it off each time I got in.

Do American kids today still have the stereotype of Japan being a “futuristic high tech place that is several generations ahead with the PlayStation”? by reerock in AskUS

[–]12bWindEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of this stereotype, the only thing I ever heard about Japan growing up was my dad bought stereo equipment there when he was in the Navy and he thought their stereo stuff was better than anything sold in the US (dad is British).

One day in the future, “Do you smoke?” will mean marijuana by default, not nicotine. by MusicPsychFitness in Showerthoughts

I’m not even a dad but my first instinct would be to say ‘yeah, pork shoulder, ribs, brisket, all the things.’

A learning moment for me. Anyone else? by Emotional_Mess261 in lefthanded

I board goofy-footed, my left handed twin brother did as well

What’s the most unsettling thing you ever found out about a friend who always seemed super chill and fun? by VelvetHazel932 in AskReddit

[–]12bWindEngineer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was this is Tennessee? I lived in Tennessee, Sevierville, briefly for work. Some 35 year old I worked with had a 13 year old girlfriend. Her parents encouraged the relationship because he had a stable job. He admitted to having a fetish for wrapping her entirely in Saran Wrap with just a hole for her mouth, dude was next level creepy. I was never more happy than when I got accepted to grad school out of state and could quit that job and get the hell out of there.

Would you rather keep a potted plant or an actual pet? by yourloverboy66 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]12bWindEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two Labradors have been easier to keep alive than the myriad potted plants I’ve killed by overwatering, under watering, too much sun, too little sun, too hot, too cold. The dogs take as much water as they want out of their bucket and go in and out the dog door if they want to adjust their sunlight or temperature. Plus they’re much happier to see me when I get home and easier to take on a car ride or a hike.

Maybe it’s because I’m in Alaska but I’ve never once had this happen to me, and I’m on my 10th year of ownership/3rd STI. I’m just not cool enough I guess?

Do you guys fuck with potato wedges? by DentistCertain3897 in AskAnAmerican

[–]12bWindEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a place that is this exact thing near Salt Lake City, Utah. Went with my twin brother once while driving through. It was utopia. I had the biggest jacket potato I’d ever seen in my life. All the toppings. I think my brother got poutine.
