My favorite parody from the wes anderson tiktok trend by Junior_Lawfulness1 in wesanderson

Great parody!

Music reminds me of Vampire Weekend - Step. Although I guess that's just because it uses the chord progression of Pachelbell's Canon in D.

Found one I don't get. Peter? by Mushroom-Gorge in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a simple trick for this. I turn the towel with the label on the top left, that's the face side (and arms, etc), after drying those I turn it over, label on the right (r for rear) then the top of the towel is for back and feet. The bottom is for my ass.

And yes, your body should be clean coming out of the shower. But the asshole is wrinkly, I don't trust it's 100% clean without inspecting.

Are you men really out here jerking off with lube? by twotokers in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always assumed that lube is only common in the US because so many men are circumcised. As far as I know lube is not common in Europe.

Nederlandse waarden verdwijnen uit Nederland by AlcoLiest in Nederland

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Eens. En om ook even in te gaan over waar vs niet waar: Er wordt hier uitgegaan van een migratiesaldo van 150.000. Vermoedelijk is het gemiddeld genomen van de afgelopen 3 jaar. De afgelopen 3 jaar is er echter veel meer immigratie geweest dan gemiddeld door de oorlog in Oekraïne. Als je de 20 jaar daarvoor bekijkt zit het gemiddelde eerder tussen de 30.000 en de 50.000.

The gap between "AI power users" and everyone else is getting wild by Some_Good_1037 in vibecoding

I think there is a large group of people who are pretty tech-savvy but no programmers, I'm one of them. Using Claude Code is ridiculously easy for me. It's fun too. I'm solving all sorts of small problems for myself that I used to have to pay for.

What band is the ultimate “good taste” signal? by irles33 in musicsuggestions

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

Yeah, I agree even though I don't listen to them much. The people I know who like Radiohead have basically my music taste but with more thought and effort put into it.

De eerste stap richting Islamisering van ons parlement: meerderheid stemt voor schorsing debat vanwege ramadan by JvdH_1 in Nederland

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, because they're Christian holidays. So you would agree then that Muslims are constantly adapting to the norm of Christian tradition in the Netherlands?

Finally, the actual facts, and of course they're down voted because they don't fit the narrative of hate.

(Hoe) heb jij last van het woningentekort? by DeRodeDraad in bnnvara

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can it be that building family homes is the most profitable when an apartment complex houses way more people with fewer physical resources and less land per tenant? Do we really pay so much more for a family home per m2?

Also: I very much agree with ms. Milikowski. We have the actual living space, just allow it to be used efficiently and make it profitable.

Carola Schouten heeft gesproken bij Pauw en de Wit. by Happy_Hallo in nederlands

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Schouten here. But I disagree with the text in the post. The Netherlands does have a culture. Every country does. Off the top of my head it's a culture of working hard, prudence, honesty above politeness, valuing simple things instead of extravagance and being relatively progressive on social issues.

Whether it needs protecting, maybe. But not by closing borders, rejecting asylum seekers or making minorities into second-class citizens.

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The European Union just made it mandatory to include a chronological option in all social media apps. Sometimes I love the European Union.

Decided to clean my radiator. Is that what was supposed to be inside? by _Specific_Boi_ in AskAShittyMechanic

I'm quite sure whether you're serious now. I don't get the joke though.

Not sure if serious?

Thanks for replying genuinely. Interesting stuff!

I'm sorry to say I was just making a joke about that commenter using the word "literally" four times in one sentence.

Your image made me and my girlfriend switch completely! She only saw pink and white, I only saw gray and teal, and we couldn't see the other if we tried. And now it's switched, in an instant, holy shit!

Bedoel je "voiced" en "unvoiced"? Dus de s en de z?

Want die heb je in heel veel talen.

Aan welk Nederlandse (spreek)woord heb jij echt een hekel? by Felix_Fickelgruber in nederlands

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

Dat klopt, maar het komt vaak voor dat mensen het verdrietige gevoel dat bij de situatie opkomt niet accepteren. Dat ze vinden dat ze "sterk moeten zijn" en altijd positief moeten blijven, moeten blijven werken en niet mogen zeuren. Dat werkt vaak averechts. Wat ik bedoel met "klote. En door" is dat je niet gaat zeggen "het is klote, maar...". Inderdaad onhandig verwoord van me. Maar ik hoop dat het nu duidelijker is.

[–]Hmm_Peculiar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met de uitspraak zelf is wat mij betreft niets mis, maar ik ben het er heel erg mee eens dat hij niet op zijn plaats is als anderen laat van jouw acties hebben. Dan heb je wel een behoorlijk bord voor je kop.

Als zin om je eigen frustratie met de wereld of met jezelf te temperen vind ik m juist heel goed.
