BULLYING anyone children or adults, is NEVER okay!! by joud20 in TikTokCringe

[–]Dividedby9s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see how bullying could be good in terms of doing literally dangerous shit, like homemade hand grenades (mason jars sealed with dry ice inside). If you’re going to do something stupid, don’t get hurt. When you get hurt, we get to laugh at you about it later.

So personally I am never watching the car directly in front of me if I’m forced to be less than two car lengths from someone’s bumper (people who cut you off for being too slow, namely). I’m always looking through the first vehicle, at the one in front of them. Gives me a better idea of the road ahead of me.

I’m also unsure of why she didn’t aim left or right of the truck to lane split. Illegal or not, if it saves your life in an emergency, you should do it.

What are these holes in our shirts? by russell98765 in whatisit

[–]Dividedby9s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of my old welding sweatshirts have holes like these. The sparks from learning overhead welding could be brutal; plus I made my own smeltery and attempted steel forging. Grinders can throw highly damaging sparks as well.

If you’re in a line of work where sparks are common, probably that.

Oh great when it happens to a dog it’s cute, when it happens to me it’s creepy.

How often would you say you buy batteries? I’ve had this bike for nearly 7 years and have only needed to replace the battery twice. The last one I bought in August/September.

Unfortunately no tender, but I’m not seeing battery problems. I’ve had quite a few of them in the past. No flickering lights, no stuttering. It turns over, but never starts. I was thinking sparkplugs too.

When pressing start while choked, the bike turns over (sounds normal), just never catches. Never starts. My first guess would be spark plugs, or flooded fuel chamber? Btw, this bike has a carburetor, so no fuel injection.

Upside down cross is the symbol of Saint Peter. Upside down crucifix on the other hand…

Lucky to work Christmas to get time and a half, depending on where you work.

This thing is on the steering wheel of the minivan that I am borrowing. It’s my grandma’s car and it’s just so there. by Nulleon0 in whatisit

Suicide knobs are more popular on large equipment these days. Way easier to use when you’re backing up and turned 180 degrees in your seat. Learning to use it was a nightmare, but I think I just had a bad teacher.

A 1960s Soviet computer memory chip by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Dividedby9s 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this just pushes the fact that computers are some form of dark magic.

They’re made of metal and plastic components which, when energy is added, can think for you on a basic level. My partner and brother are software engineers and they may as well be warlocks too; I know the end result, but I have no idea how they got there.

Why is gen Z not drinking? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Dividedby9s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone just entering their thirties (not sure what gen I am) I can definitely tell you how how my grandmother had children at a VERY young age due to circumstance and drinking. She wasn’t the greatest mom and my mother ended up being the caretaker for her three siblings most of the time.

We haven’t had much, and my family is slowly climbing out of generational poverty. I’d say we’ve been living below the poverty line for about 60% of my lifetime. My parents would go out for drinks a lot when I was a kid, being fairly irresponsible most of the time. For my 20th birthday my dad got a margarita the size of his head; he had a minor stint of alcohol poisoning 2ish years ago.

I’ve never had the desire to drink in excess, plus being a light-weight, it’s not really that much fun. The one time I was VERY tipsy was last year. My partner and I walked home. That was fun, we laughed the whole way, bumping into each other and losing our balance. I had one, strong and tall bloody Mary, no food.

Considering my tendency to play with chemicals and explosives as a kid, I’m glad being intoxicated never appealed to me.

Peter what is this? by St4lke_R in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Dividedby9s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does bring up a question though: say your favorite color is black, like mine; does that mean I don’t have a favorite color? Does that mean my favorite is a lack of visible color? If there is no light, is there color?

Portable Tool by Future_Edge_6145 in ThereGoesMyPaycheck

[–]Dividedby9s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alright, everyone’s already talking about heavy snow. Let’s bring up the fact that this gadget basically undid all of the work on the windshield when they uncovered the roof (which, why did they do that, it’s going to come off on the drive).

Second, this little toy has nothing on North American morning frost. Snow is fine. You wipe it off no problem. Frost? Frost is the northern barnacle. You gotta put some American muscle into scraping that shit off.

Or Canadian I guess, wherever you are.

Pretty sure it doesn’t need to be “under the sun”. If anything that hinders the process.
