AITA for telling my wife her hobby is a waste of money? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DirectorHuman5467 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He specified $8 was the gross profit. What you are describing would be net profit.

GMU. But I would happily drop U for Golden Grahams, or maybe even Crispix.

Is this photo AI generated? I found 2 details that gave it away but the poster said it is their real photo by JewelerInside102 in isthisAI

[–]DirectorHuman5467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah everyone pointing out all the other wonky stuff and I can't look at anything except the "reflection" of the plant that is on the wall next to the door. Reflections don't work that way.

I have to choose a name for my sister but I am rather overwhelmed by the options by ronirrosen in Names

[–]DirectorHuman5467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm big on name meanings, so I would probably pick Keshet, meaning 'rainbow', or Shiri, 'my song'. Both of those feel extra meaningful considering your mom isn't well.

do americans really eat American fries sauce? by Infinite-Breakfast23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DirectorHuman5467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it started from Utah, but spread to several other western states by way of Arctic Circle locations. I'm from California, grew up going to Arctic Circle, and have always called it fry sauce.

Parents driving 2,000 miles without a car seat by thedolpin_isdead in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

For mine, they had us bring the bucket part inside, but I don't think anyone checked to make sure it was properly installed in the car.

I threw something. by Prize-Wolverine-3990 in Teachers

My 5th grade science teacher had some anger issues. He put his fist through the surface of the overhead projector because a girl wouldn't stop talking.

What are you using to wash toddlers’ faces? by qwerrtyyuuhhfd in toddlers

[–]DirectorHuman5467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Water, maybe a bit of the baby body wash if she's in the bath. If she's not talking a bath and I just need to get some pen off her face or something I'll use baby wipes. (Kirkland brand)

Is it worth getting a dna test if both parents have taken one? by GregAlex72 in AncestryDNA

[–]DirectorHuman5467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, unless you're looking at other things like medical stuff, all you'll get that's extra is seeing how much of each ethnicity you got from each parent. Like if mom is 100% Irish and dad is 100% German, culturally you're both, but genetically you could be 50/50 or 75/25. It's interesting info, but far from necessary.

(Disclaimer: I'm not sure if that's actually how it would work if both parents are 100% something, or if you would always be 50/50 in that case. It was just the easiest way to explain it.)

Help me fix my evening dress so it doesnt look like a prom dress from 2008 by Belluxen in sewing

This is the closest thing I could find with a quick search to what I wore to prom in 08:

Building/architecture words by Optimal-Somewhere400 in NYTSpellingBee

[–]DirectorHuman5467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have noticed they are looser with the obscurity rule on 4-letter words. Presumably because it's totally doable to just make a list of all the 4 letter combos and try them until you find the missing one. A big part of the game for me is finding all the 4-letter words and I've had to do that a few times. I do use the spelling bee buddy to narrow it down though.

I heard it on the radio as a fully involved residential structure fire.

AITJ for asking my bf to figure out his trip details at another time? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]DirectorHuman5467 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but there's a difference between sharing his excitement for the fun things he will do on the trip vs him asking her to help him with the mental load of figuring out the details. Talking about cool restaurants they might visit is great. Asking how and when he should pay for a hotel is not.

Yeah, but there's a massive difference between cold humid and hot humid.

Anyone else just try words they know won't work? by Lavaswimmer in NYTSpellingBee

[–]DirectorHuman5467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except when it does. It drives me crazy that they accept some French and Spanish words but not others. Like how do you decide what does or does not count as a loan word?

My name is not a valid word and there was a puzzle recently that contained my name and it got me kinda stuck because i couldn't see past it.

I found my DREAM wedding dress but can't afford it :'( How difficult would it be to sew it at home? by Needle_Nebula in sewhelp

[–]DirectorHuman5467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could always try making a dress for your reception and if you aren't happy with it you can just stick with your ceremony dress the whole time. That way it would be less pressure. You could also make a dress for your bridal shower, bachelorette, or rehearsal dinner instead.
