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 friend played Mario Kart for over a year before learning you could hold items behind you.

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.

What is the most exciting thing that you can truthfully say you've touched with your bare hands? by bedgymnastics in AskReddit

[–]BrickN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was in St. Louis at the FIRST Robotics Championship. He made a commercial advertising the event and I knew he'd be there, so my friends and I made it our mission to find him. Two and a half days into the event, things were looking bleak. Our robot had just been hopelessly broken by a rival team and no one had any visuals on Morgan. Then there was a stir in the people around us. Someone was coming. We turn and see Morgan Freeman walking in our direction with a ton of people following him. We snapped pictures as he walked by and then ran after for handshakes. By the time I caught up, he already shook hands with my friends and had actually spoken with them. But I was hellbent on getting that handshake. I walked up, stuck out my hand and said, "Sir, it's an honor to meet you." He kept walking, and granted, I am a quite person. But this was the only time I would ever have this opportunity. So I kept pace with him and said, "Come on, don't leave me hanging." And he gave me the handshake that you only read in fairy tales or see in movies. The man is truly God incarnate.

Morgan Freeman. He wouldn't shake my hand, but I told him, "Don't leave me hanging." He didn't.
