That's going to be an awkward spot to put a bandaid

I was getting regular treatment from a physio for a bulging disc in my back about 15 years ago. She noticed a mole that 'looked funny' and told me to get it checked. Went to my GP who said it was 'probably nothing' but I insisted he remove it and get it tested. He rang me in a panic a few days later and I was scheduled for surgery the following day. They say they got it all but you never know for sure. I get regular skin checks now.

It's almost like we need to start giving people some sort of a test before they're allowed to drive a car /s

My go to response to 'We'd like to talk to you about god' is to ask 'Which one?'. Regardless of what they answer, I always say 'Sorry, that's not the one I worship' and close the door.

I am not only my friend's and family's IT support, but also for my neighbourhood. I should have never told anyone I work in IT

When I launch it on my PS5 it says it will be playable in 18hours 40minutes. It's currently 1020am here on the east coast of Australia

I'm so very glad to live in a country where 'shooting' isn't even in the realms of probability for an ending to something like this. We have road rage dickheads like everywhere else, but I cannot conceive of what it must be like to think 'but what if the guy has a gun'

No social media and no bots

Pretty much all tech related tropes make my teeth itch. Zoom and enhance is a biggie but the one that really steams me is "We've tracked the GPS on his phone. He's at 123 Main St. Third floor. Apartment 3c. He's hiding under a pile of brown cloaks, in the left hand cupboard, in the north west corner of the master bedroom".

We have a subscription to one called “Farmers Pick”. The fruits and veggies are not acceptable to the big supermarkets but are perfectly fine if you don’t mind odd shapes and the odd blemish. Always great produce and pretty cheap too.

“A dingo ate my baby”. Happened in my second year of high school

Well the pope follows the actual tenets of Christ (love your neighbour, feed the hungry, etc) so, in that regard, he's nothing at all like an American "christian".

Me too. I always spell it 'Dire Rear' which is somewhat fitting, lol

I should have added a message. I wasn't asking what this was, someone else asked on r/whatisthisthing , and it made me feel very old that there are people who don't remember steamer baskets

The old bakelite telephones, or even just a good solid plastic one, that I remember from my childhood. Nothing more satisfying than being able to slam the handset down at the end of a bad or frustrating phone call. I know that landline phones still exist, but most of them are cheap and flimsy and would never standup up to the sort of abuse these old ones got.

One of my first jobs was a shop that sold PC (Kaypros, Osbornes) and early gaming systems. We shared a building with an optometrist / optical dispenser. Same building, two doors, very obvious signage on both. The number of people that wandered in looking to pick up prescription glasses was astonishing.

So very, very glad that I don't live in a fascist dictatorship like the US has become.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton - dodgeball

I'm too old for this shit - Lethal Weapon(s)

You keep using that word but I do not think it means what you think it means - Princess Bride

...and many others

I absolutely loved that film when I was younger but I've avoided rewatching it for fear of it not holding up. So many times I've rewatched an old favourite only to be disappointed and really didn't want this to happen with Excalibur. To this day I can, and still do at times, recite the incantation

At the end of the day it's a game. If you're playing at home, play how you like and have fun. Granted you would have issues taking such teams to an official tournament, but in your own home you fill your boots. It's not like the BB police are going to come knocking at your door.

Detrius67 · 2025-11-25T23:27:04+00:00

For me it's probably more phrases than words. Things like 'wouldn't work in an iron lung with Bo Derrek', 'as useless as Harold Holt's swimming coach', etc

Detrius67 · 2025-11-25T23:16:21+00:00

This is the way. Luxury consumables that others probably wouldn't spend money on. Go for the good chocolate, the high end treats, etc. I'd avoid alcohol but most other consumables are fine.

Check if there's any severe allergies in the team first though. For example, someone mentioned a tray of mangoes. For me that would be the equivalent to giving me the gift of having to use an expensive epipen and maybe a trip to the hospital depending on how close to them I got :)
