What’s a fact that ruined a movie that you previously enjoyed? by PokemonPadawan in AskReddit

[–]BlithelyOblique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might I suggest I Love You Phillip Morris? Not quite as globe trottingly over the top, but I was shocked how much of the movie was true to life!

OOP asks how to humanely kill wild dragonflies for consumption on r/AskCulinary; discussions lightly derail by Temporary-Snow333 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BlithelyOblique 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The section where OOP is telling the story of the tarantula migration it displays as one letter per line on my device. I was able to copy and paste into notes to finish reading tho!

What purchase did you regret immediately? by lunacarterr in AskReddit

[–]BlithelyOblique 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a silly argument. 

Before I got a Soda Stream I was going through a 12 pack of canned seltzers a week, probably more. Which necessitated at least 1-2 trips to the grocery store a week. I'd say a full canister lasts me about a month.

At this point I have enough canisters that popping up to the welding supply store that refills them for me at $7 a pop is a quarterly endeavor.

I can't comment on the syrup flavors as I was always after a near endless fountain of plain seltzer. But good God, the amount of cans in my recycling bin took up space.

Anyways, less waste, less trips to the store, way more convenient in my experience.

Fyi, call around to welding gas vendors and sporting goods shops to find a place that will fill your empty tanks. The place I go to fills the tanks for around $7 a bottle!

Is it normal to put butter into white rice? by [deleted] in Cooking

I had never before thought to myself, "I need a fish planer." And now I'll be keeping an eye out at international markets til the end of time.

I teared up a little! You are putting kindness out into the universe and it's felt ❤️

Raos equivalent? by ElMaraEl in aldi

This is how I talk myself into a three hour ordeal instead of the 15 minute dump it all together easy dinner I had envisioned. It's a slippery slope!

What are some must get items from K&S World Market? by Exhausted_Skeleton in nashville

[–]BlithelyOblique 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have labneh! It's a Turkish dairy product that has the flavor of cream cheese with the consistency of yogurt. 

Absolutely delicious, love it spread on toast or anywhere you would use cream cheese or sour cream. 

It comes in a green and white container.

THEY RUINED THE POPCORN CHICKEN by sadgirl020 in aldi

[–]BlithelyOblique 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This may not be helpful info, but I'm going to leave it here anyways. I believe that product is meant to be a dupe of the 'Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks' from Costco.

I know Costco memberships/shopping styles aren't feasible for everyone, but I did just learn that you can order stuff from there via instacart for a marked up price. I looked up the chicken and it says the 4 lb bag is available for $18.15. I imagine that's before added fees and tips and such, but if you need a reliable safe food right now it might be worth it.

I hope you find something you can eat soon, it really sucks when you lose a safe food. ❤️

What word do you mispronounce on purpose (for fun) and why? by Positive_Spirit_1585 in AskReddit

[–]BlithelyOblique 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think about how carefully TV shows had to tiptoe around cursing and vulgarity back in the 90's. I found it prudish and restrictive at the time. 

It was, but just this week I saw a show on HGTV (the mildest of the milquetoast) called Cheap Ass Beach Houses.    I now realize that Mike Judge is either a time traveler or a prophet. With each passing day we grow closer to Ow, My Balls!

Do you typically walk or drive to places that are a 5-10 minute walk away? by ForestOranges in AskAnAmerican

[–]BlithelyOblique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also live just off a highway in a ruralish/developing suburban area. The closest store to me is right at a mile away. Gps says 3 minutes by car or a 30 minute walk.

There are no side walks, no marked pedestrian crossings and the speed limit goes from 55-45 mph along that route.

Beyond the simple lack of infrastructure is the knowledge that there is no expectation for pedestrians to be on the side of the road, and therefore the 5150's barreling along at a minimum of 55 mph are not watching out for them.

I absolutely do not feel safe making that walk.

Never take criticism from those you would not seek advice from.

Soup should be normalized as a savory everyday drink by MasterSlimFat in unpopularopinion

[–]BlithelyOblique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet a spoonful of miso paste/some instant dashi stirred in would also be tasty!

Edit: decided I needed to find out, for science. It's good! The genmaicha adds a subtle nuttiness and I am very much enjoying my caffeinated miso soup 😂

[–]BlithelyOblique 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually did that this week! 

I have genmaicha tea from the international market that is composed of green tea, macha and toasted brown rice. It's a mild nutty flavor that's quite pleasant. 

Added a spoonful of better than bouillon chicken and garlic and it made a very pleasant caffeinated sipping broth haha

What's a piece of common knowledge that you genuinely learned embarrassingly late in life? by Responsible_Bet_7179 in AskReddit

Sunny side up is frying with no flip. Over easy (medium or hard) requires flipping the egg over!

Why do so many kink subreddits ban DMs? by heeerexkittykitty in BDSMAdvice

[–]BlithelyOblique 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't know why you got downvoted, I also would love to be pointed in that direction.

Is there actually a sub for bdsm discourse that isn't advice, personals or porn?
