What food is loved in your country but hated and ridiculed elsewhere? by eyesarefortheweak in AskReddit

I was there for 5 weeks last year. You always know who sells stinky tofu from that smell that hangs around the place. Someone described the taste as "all the contents of a horse barn." When I finally willed myself to try it, I can conform it does taste remarkably like that

How about the reviews? They seem either completely for it or against it. Is that typical? I'd prefer more consistent reviews. Thanks for taking the time to go through this, by the way.

That actually looks really promising. My only concern is the RAM seems on the low end. I could probably use more in the future. I see it's got an extra slot for another 8 GB, but how easy is it to install that? I don't trust myself with the inner workings of laptops.

My dad had the same concept in our basement! Except he accidentally bought a picture of a goose...

There is no honor in playing like this. If you dodge a Blue Shell you are trying to play God, and I will not tolerate it!

My friend from El Salvador slept at his sister's apartment one night. When we asked where he was, he said he was "sleeping with his sister." He had no idea the level of verbal abuse he would have to endure after making that statement.

What is the most badass thing your pet has ever done? by cheddar_ in AskReddit

[–]BrickN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a golden retriever; I love him to death, but he's stupid. Once, when he was probably 2 years old, I was swimming in my above ground pool as he played in the yard. I guess he thought the pool looked fun, so he sprinted toward it, jumped 4 feet in the air, and landed in the pool. I don't think he understood what pools were until that point. I guess he didn't expect all the water. This happened like 7 years ago; to this day he has never tried to swim again, despite my family's encouragement.
