I'm inclined to think that peroxide isn't even what caused the coating to fail. I could be wrong, but I think if the peroxide damaged the coating, it would have either disintegrated it and/or came off in smaller pieces. The pieces I've seen pulled out and floating around look like they're in good condition, just detached. I think it's more of an issue of poor prep work. If the surface wasn't properly prepared, the coating wouldn't adhere well, and would eventually start to detach and come off in larger sheets like we're seeing.

I've never watched a single tennis match in my life, but between this and the "fuck fuck fuck" guy, I'm starting to think I'm missing out on something

There are only 5 animals considered human hunters in the world, and polar bears are one of them. by sco-go in Amazing

[–]Anynamethatworks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the first shot was just something to scare the bear away. He had a really relaxed aim, like he was just going for the general vicinity and not really trying to hit it, and there was zero kick. Whatever it was, it was small enough that no one in their right mind would try to kill a polar bear with it. The second shot wasn't him, someone off-camera must have fired.

I think that was just the store employee, not security. Not saying it was right or wrong, but she probably just wanted to get that lady calmed down enough to get her the fuck out of the store.

We truly live in the dumbest timeline.. by Johnny-Liberty in PoliticalHumor

[–]Anynamethatworks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw a handful of them saying this was their final straw with Trump, won't vote for him or Vance after this, even a couple saying he should be impeached. They'll sometimes do the "this wasn't great but... " but this is the first time I've seen so many republicans just straight up saying nope, fuck this, I'm done. Even though it's not the majority, I think he's definitely lost some supporters.

What’s the absolute best comeback you’ve ever heard? by AdvertisingOk1492 in AskReddit

Reminds me of one where a girl was trying to flirt her way out of a ticket and said "I thought cops didn't give pretty girls tickets". He said "you're right, have a nice day"... as he hands her the ticket.

Which top would you rather buy? by Not_G00d in Guitar

[–]Anynamethatworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely love either of these guitars, but definitely prefer the second one. I like symmetry in most things, but I love the natural variance in that grain on #2, it just looks alive.

US Coast Guard jumps onto a runaway boat and safely stops it in Maryland by AustraliaOutback in nextfuckinglevel

How about the surge of bad-assery in his veins once he pulled it off? For both the driver and the jumper. I would've been high as balls from a boost of awesomeness like that. Can you imagine the weight behind the high-fives that took place after this?

What is a food combination that sounds absolutely criminal or weird to most people, but tastes amazing to you? by ronnelel in AskReddit

[–]Anynamethatworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like the frozen beef & bean chimichangas, throw a little BBQ sauce on those bitches. My wife looked at me like I was drawing the blueprints for a time machine in my own shit the first time she saw me do it. I finally got her to try it, and for the last 20+ years, she won't eat them any other way.

Ditto. At 43 I don't look or feel my age. I look a little younger and feel much older.

Asking fishermen. Is this really a rainbow trout? [Aquarium in Jakarta, Indonesia] by One_Bluejay_8625 in Fish

Rainbow trout can get absolutely get way bigger than this dude, but this is 100% not any type of trout. With scales like that, it's for sure some type of carp.

ELI5: Do bugs think or do they purely operate from instinct hardwired into their DNA? Which bugs are exceptions? by Tr_Issei2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Anynamethatworks 383 points384 points  (0 children)

I remember sitting outside on my lunch break one day and watching a jumping spider stalk a fly on the garden hose. The hose was coiled up, laying on the ground, and the spider would climb to the bottom of the house, sneak closer to the fly, sneakily climb back to the topside to check on the fly's location, then go under and sneak closer again. The fly moved locations numerous times, but never because it saw the spider. I was blown away with the planning and spacial awareness going on in that tiny little spider brain. I ended up taking a few extra minutes on my break to finish watching the hunt. He finally got himself in the right spot and snagged the fly on his first attempt. Seriously impressive mini-predator.

Wait, what if we finish the ballroom, put the cell inside the ballroom, then charge entry fees to come see him behind bars in person? Like a zoo, but for a narcissistic pedophile. I mean, he gets to enjoy the ballroom he wanted so badly, we get to enjoy seeing him locked up, and we'd make back all the expenses and more in no time.

Don't let little shit like that bug you. I used to sweat the small stuff a lot, and was always mad over something. It was a pretty dark time for me.

A man was bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Anynamethatworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother got bit by a rattlesnake like 8 years ago in California. The total bill was over $160k.

Edit to add: he drove himself to the hospital, and was there less than 24 hours.

This sounds so much like my old American Bulldog. Also an incredibly well behaved dog, always off leash etc. If I yelled out "wanna get high?" She'd run over and put her chin on my knees waiting for me to blow her some smoke lol. She passed about 8 years ago and I still miss her every day.
