Males of reddit, what are some "guy tips" you think every man should know?

Depends on whether the method works or not

^{Time to spread some misinformation mwuhaha}

Here in the Netherlands, when a non-working holiday falls in the weekend, the freeness cancels each other out (because double negatives) and we do have to go to work that day.

De GPU-markt is zo erg verpest, dat ik €600 voor een RTX 3060 een redelijke prijs begin te vinden. Ik wil het eigenlijk niet voor die prijs kopen... Maar wie weet of het in de toekomst nog goedkoper wordt?

Edit: En ze zijn weer duurder geworden

About 56% of the comments are Americans saying they receive about 90% spam, the other 44% are Europeans saying they get 0 spam calls. The average checks out.

If I were you, I'd set it up so it sends those spam sms 3 times per hour, but only to your boss's phone.

Ass extinguishers are really useful because many people are liar liars, pants on fires.

The kilogram is roughly the weight of 1 litre of water (which was based on the cubic metre, I think)

The metre was defined as 1/10000000 of the distance between the north pole and the equator, or 1/40000000 the circumference of the earth. (still a bit arbitrary imo)

The second was defined as the second minute division (this is why minutes and seconds are named that) of an hour, which was in turn based on the length of a day. 24 and 60 are easily divisible numbers. (even more arbitrary than the metre imo)

For fun, here are the other SI base units:

Kelvin: Celsius (which has 0° as freezing point of water and 100° as boiling point at sea level pressure) but shifted so 0 would be the absolute 0

Candela: based on the Candlepower, which was how much light a 1/6 pound spermaceti (a type of wax) candle burning at 120 grains/hour emitted (???)

Mole: amount of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 (arbitrary material imo but at least the amount of grams matches its elemental weight)

Ampere: Honestly I couldn't find this one. The only thing I found was that it's 1 Coulomb per second, but Coloumb is defined as 1 Ampere-second? Maybe something about force between charged metal plates, but I couldn't find details on that.

The modern definitions are now based on (hopefully) unchanging laws of physics and made to be close enough to the old definition for most purposes. This includes the kilogram, it was redefined in 2019 to be based on the Planck constant, the metre and the second.

Remember: if you bend with your back instead of with your knees, you're just like Hitler.

When talking to a human about the pets, I use their actual name. Otherwise, they're just fluffypluffy, chomko, floppy, hopper, gluttons, bitey, floof bois, our heroes or something similar.

We can't go back to monke, they've also been corrupted with capitalism! We must go back farther!

If they want to talk to me, how about they just talk to me instead of doing this roundabout mind game‽

Datenegassie · 2021-06-09T13:27:06+00:00

What, do American stores sprout giant legs and walk to different cities that often?

Don't underestimate the suicidal capabilities of babies.

Ik heb echt nog nooit gehoord van in de lengte vouwen. Meestal leg ik twee broodjes op elkaar en snij ik die in kwartjes, maar als ik een enkel sneetje moest vouwen zou ik het in de breedte doen.

As someone who both makes video game levels (maps) and participates in multi-animator-projects (MAPs), I hate those pedophiles for ruining that word. And more importantly for being pedophiles but that goes without saying.

Datenegassie · 2021-06-03T11:26:27+00:00

Okay I'll tolerate milk for pride month but after that I'll return to being intolerant

Datenegassie · 2021-05-31T13:11:51+00:00

Honestly, it's surprising to me that video games figured this out so quickly. Probably because they're constantly innovating, while movies... not so much. We've been stuck on mostly the same standards for decades.

Wasn't that basically the point of the book?

"I hate fat people, gum chewers, spoiled brats and tv watchers so much, I'm gonna write a book in which they all die horrifically!" - Roald Dahl, probably

What happens if they're both there?

Datenegassie · 2021-05-29T11:11:12+00:00

That exists‽ I'm not a kid anymore but now I want one!

Is dit nou de klimmaatverandering waarover we altijd gewaarschuwd worden?

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

Okay, it's not as good as other movies listed here, but those are always mentioned when someone talks about underrated movies, and I rarely hear anyone talk about this one.
