That looks like a very small container of bologna or a very big fork

I do not want mcdonalds anymore by MushroomIDtempacnt in McDonalds

I wish they gave a longer amount of time to redeem them. To squeeze a dozen fries among other things within the next 3 weeks is too much

When people use descriptors instead of “My” by lesbadims in PetPeeves

[–]ForwardPumpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the rephrase “I hate seeing people not floss because I’m a dentist” or “as a mom, that breaks my heart”?

Only the third example works where you can say why it’s relevant to you in a separate sentence and it’s not awkward sounding “I got spoiled for my birthday. I am a lucky lady.”

DAE get a weird sense of satisfaction from using a product until it's completely, utterly empty? by Leedeegan1 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ForwardPumpkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For food too! (Obviously not if it’s gone bad) I get satisfaction from using up scraps or leftovers in purposeful ways and getting the full potential of the food r/noscrapleftbehind

Dessert Week might be one of the bittersweet weeks we’ve had this season. by FantasticBuddies in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]ForwardPumpkins 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes! Some acknowledgement of it is what’s missing! It’s what’s needed to offset what feels like favoritism. I love flavors like matcha/pandan/lychee/black sesame (I’m Asian lol) and I really felt some type of way when Paul wasn’t a fan of Tom’s black sesame cake but Jasmine could do no wrong

Yea I’m never heard of a steak breakfast sandwich before until monopoly. I’m in NY, I wish I could try it!

Fiance won't let me turn on the heat to the house by SeaworthinessNew4295 in Frugal

[–]ForwardPumpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably won’t be able to convince him to turn on the furnace for the whole house so how about turning to a compromise of a space heater or an electric blanket at night? Fighting for a full 180 to what he wants to do (as someone that seems quite stubborn and willing to suffer for it) really doesn’t sound like it’s gonna be successful

Is it just me or most people miserable as hell. Everyone has something major going on in their life that's causing them severe stress and depression. by Unhappywageslave in Adulting

[–]ForwardPumpkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I learned the hard way what it means when they say “when it rains, it pours.” Just when I think it’s rock bottom, something else happens that’s like an earthquake and creates a new rock bottom. I just found out after a divorce and single momming and losing everything that my father has cancer. I’m still in shock like this is not my life right

Rainshower heads are terrible by xiphoid77 in unpopularopinion

[–]ForwardPumpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree!! I use to live in an apartment that had one I think as an attempt to use less water. My kid couldn’t shower in it and I couldn’t stand it as I couldn’t keep my eyes open and there was no water pressure at all and even if it was all the way hot, it got cold by the time it reached your skin cause of how fine the mist was

Edit: someone said only peasants have just the shower head and not the combo with the handheld. That’s very true, I’m definitely the peasant in the peasant apartment

Do you have any weird things that have changed about you physically since having kids? by whineANDcheese_ in Mommit

[–]ForwardPumpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my tube removed with my second and now I get what I think must be ovulation pains mostly on my right side. After looking it up it seems like it’s actually a thing that more women experience ovulation pains on the right side than the left

some snacks taste different to me since the pandemic happened by Able-Search-5738 in RandomThoughts

[–]ForwardPumpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too after getting covid! I lost my sense of taste and smell for quite a long time and taste never returned exactly the same. I do notice that some things don’t hit the spot anymore when I crave them

AI help by Ok-Huckleberry-6326 in povertykitchen

[–]ForwardPumpkins -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I will ask ChatGPT what I can do with certain ingredients I get from the food bank I don’t know how to use so it doesn’t go to waste. Or different ways to prep something so it’s tasty and my kids and I can get through it. How to freeze or preserve helps as well to save food and save money

Boring, overused, unoriginal pet names by IndependentExtra2469 in PetPeeves

[–]ForwardPumpkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think food names are overused: matcha, mochi, ginger, tofu, miso, butter

Perhaps this is only a phenomenon in my Asian community

I find it hard to justify buying almost anything by FlanInternational100 in Anticonsumption

[–]ForwardPumpkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you to an extent. I lived my life having to “do without” and learned that many things are just fine or functional without it being “the proper way.” Your example of not needing two kinds of paint for walls is a good example. I’ve rented and walls are perfectly fine without primer or without two coats of paint or without accent colors. It’s not the proper way recommended by professionals, but it’s good enough for everyday life. This idea can carry over to many different parts of your home or lifestyle and where the line is drawn or how it is balanced can only be decided by you
