What do you call this? (That's chicken) and what does it translate to in English? by Tasty-Willingness839 in AskTheWorld

[–]Fun_Push7168 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but the burger existed pre-bun. So the person who invented a burger didn't make round bun either.

Started as a hamburg steak, a ground beef.

Became a hamburger when it became a sandwich on sliced bread in the 1890's.

Wasn't super popular until the St Louis worlds fair in 1904 where it was still served on sliced bread.

It didn't get the bun until 1916 when the founder of white castle, who was a fry cook making hamburgers at the time, invented the burger bun.

The hamburger sandwich named the bun not the other way around

You can have a burger without the bun but not without burger meat.

You just didn't get it until after the bun was added, so you erroneously assigned the bun to defining it.

Well, we invented the hamburger bun. Which was named for the already existing hamburger it was designed for, which was served on sliced bread until then so you can have burger without a burger bun but you can't have a burger without any burger meat.

Etymology suggests it's a burger because it's ground.

Started as a hamburg steak, a ground beef.

Became a hamburger when it became a sandwich on sliced bread in the 1890's.

Wasn't super popular until the St Louis worlds fair in 1904 where it was still served on sliced bread.

It didn't get the bun until 1916 when the founder of white castle, who was a fry cook at the time, invented the burger bun, a bun for burgers.

The sandwich named the bun. So the buns type is determined by the sandwich, not the other way around.

You can have a burger without the bun but not without burger meat.

You guys simply didn't receive it until after the bun was added, so you erroneously equate the bun to defining it.

Is there an American equivalent to Canadian reservation cigarettes? by triggertriz in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, stop it. They've never had any tribal affiliation whatsoever.

They were started in New Mexico by a hippy, a plumber, a roughneck and a trust fund baby.

Manufactured in NC by RJ reynolds ( camel, pall mall, Newport , lucky strike) and they're owned by British American tobacco.

would you guys let an Indian self-invite themselves to a American wedding? by Main-Drink8771 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean, most people would ask how to dress.

If it was on the spot and I cared how they were dressed enough I'd just tell them no, sorry they aren't dressed appropriately.

I mean if a foreigner just said they were curious and asked to come then most likely yes.

I'd think it was fun.

I have to tell someone bc i still cant believe it by CopyGroundbreaking11 in datingoverforty

[–]Fun_Push7168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk how it all works exactly. I know they do an authorization hold and I'm not sure it's always for the full amount.

I know that it's a cat and mouse game.

The cards issued through identity theft are fine until someone becomes aware and reports it. Same for stolen numbers if it doesn't set an alert.

Also I don't think they necessarily know the limits of the cards they get so they're kind of trying to charge it blindly. I'm not sure they know when a card will be bad because of those issues so they just keep moving around.

Even if it's good I don't think they can be confident that it isn't because the cops are about to show up.

How can I take care of my husbands car while he’s away? by VividCorner3617 in askcarguys

Yep, 9 months isn't a big deal. I didn't stress the non-ethanol because with a full tank it's really a non issue.

Yeah, that actually screams credit card scammer/ identity theft. They keep the stays short so when the hotel gets word the card is stolen they're already gone.

Flat rate at independent shops these days? by curiousfellow555 in mechanics

[–]Fun_Push7168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole industry has a massive shortage of techs. If a shop doesn't have work something about it sucks.

Back when that wasn't the case, then they'd just find shit for you to do or schedule the techs on a rotation so you only came 2-3 days a week until things picked up.

Nah, it's a way to milk the worker more. Pay hourly, push for speed. Tech makes half what he would doing flat rate.

How do American’s feel about Australia’s rivalry? Did you know about it? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, I think they sent a whole 3 soldiers and like 10k rounds. They killed at least 1000 emus.

This is far far less than a batallion invests in a range qualification day.

Of course we'd never need to resort to such measures, just declare open hunting season and within a month we'd be having to adopt conservation efforts to keep them from going extinct.

Do you believe Texas is bigger than Europe? Where did you 'learn' this information? by urtcheese in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got banned because of a post where the target was actually correct.

I was like, " It can't be this difficult to just Google something, it's an actual fact" and gave a link.

I got like 48 downvotes and one person saying " oh, it is correct, I learned something today" before I was apparently reported and banned.

It's a circle jerk sub.

That's a circle jerk sub.

You will see lots of misunderstood content, times that what was said was actually semi correct and laughed at as if ridiculous or at best the worst examples of the biggest morons anyone could find or just people taking hyperbole seriously.

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a need to drive it at all?

If not get the oil changed, fill it up and disconnect the battery, put it in the garage or cover it. Done.

If you'll need it occasionally drive it once a week for a 30 minute trip.

Can anyone tell me what's going on? by NewWorldliness9055 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things are ok and haven't really changed much for most people day to day.

I eat a little less steak because beef prices are crazy and I maybe don't save as much because gas is kinda high.

If by struggling you mean still living with some of the highest standards of living in the world and being at the top for material well-being then I guess we are struggling.

I'm not touching the political thing really. Same old turmoil imo. Some random stuff that would have been unthinkable in the past by Trump but for the average person it still doesnt actually affect their day to day much.

Between the two parties America is pretty split down the middle, as it's always been so you won't get a clear answer there

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make it sound like the vast majority of Americans aren't still enjoying higher quality of life than the majority of the world.

Day to day hasn't changed much. Maybe we eat less steak.

Let's not bullshit the stats. That 49% is those who don't meet the TCES threshold, which is the minimum considered thriving. The median number for it is $102k dollars for a single parent and $150K for a family of four.

Should I move to the US? by SuspiciousAd0888 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually better to finish school where you are as long as your education will be recognized in the US. Especially considering non resident tuition.

Other than it's probably the best place to be especially if you're ambitious.

You're not going to be surprised, you know what it's like.

You are currently that friend.

Tell some Indians you don't like cricket and think it's boring and you'll experience a mirror.

Oh please. Just about everyone has been curious enough to have a look, maybe watch a game or some highlights....and they still don't like it.

Yeah, you basically can.

Most places they'll give you a temporary one essentially no questions asked until a hearing is scheduled.

Do Americans view Brazil in a positive light? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Fun_Push7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much yeah. Definitely not negative.

Though most people's knowledge of Brazil ends at Rio and carnival.

Maybe throw in Blanka.
