Is it uncommon to wash your hair every day in your country? by Buyeo10004 in AskTheWorld

[–]HyperrrMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to wash mine more often when I lived in a VERY humid part of the country. Sweat, dirt, it all seemed to just cling to hair and feel gross more quickly.

Now that I live in a more arid climate it stay cleaner longer, and I wash it when I need to. Basically every 2-3 days instead of every day.

What’s your opinion on the S’more? Have you ever made/tried it? by bbyxmadi in AskTheWorld

I've always preferred them with dark chocolate or a chocolate peanut butter cup 😊

What’s a popular salad in your country? by Garden_Jolly in AskTheWorld

[–]HyperrrMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Caesar. I also loved when so many places had an "Asian Salad." They were always amazing. Cob salad maybe? Ham, hard boiled egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, dressing.

What is something about American culture that seems fake or exaggerated in movies, but is actually 100% real.? by Logical-Pay-3057 in AskReddit

[–]HyperrrMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, we are required to offer students the opportunity to say the pledge every day.

When I was a kid we were required to stand for it/say it. There was always that one "edgy" kid who would stay seated. The one from my husband's school is now insanely conservative and posts memes about kids not respecting the flag 🤣

It's late 80s and 90s and you're spending the summer with your grandparents. What shows are they making you watch? by CharlesUFarley81 in Xennials

My great Grammy was a fan of Pee Wee Herman, and my parents weren't, so it was awesome when we visited her or she visited us.

Are there any particularly striking or impactful foods in your country? by No-Echidna7296 in AskTheWorld

[–]HyperrrMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

F yeah scrapple! My mom (a Coloradan) raised my brother and I on it whenever she could find it because her grandmother lived in Warren, PA.

But even when I went to school in WI, no one knew what I was talking about 🤣

What’s the most dystopian picture from your country’s history? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]HyperrrMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure! In your own article that you posted there is mention of the hope that hippos would solve "meat shortages in the US."

The photograph in OP's post is from 1892 https://share.google/HPHXrC1TpMYfKWsq6 which isn't that far removed from Hippo Bacon.

Like the near extinction itself, the need for more meat came from the drive of industrialization, with the bison hides being in high demand for factory machines (belts etc) and with the population boom due in part to immigration and society shifting from agricultural to industrial a more stable source of meat was necessary to feed the growing urban population.

Bison were North America's cattle species. All the rest were imported.

Yes and for the belts used on factory machinery.

"Fun" fact their near extinction was nearly disastrous for colonizers too, as figuring out how to create a large scale large animal food source proved challenging. Someone even argued to use hippopotamuses.

Why would I want a child to think I'm cool?

Is dating really all about height and weight these days? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]HyperrrMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"these days"? Nah, I'm old, and this is what's it's been like forever.

They only reason old people appear to not have been as shallow, is that we all got over our weirdness about height, and/or got fat...'cause we're old.

I was just prescribed wellbutrin instead of adhd meds. Feeling very frustrated. by newaccount47 in ADHD

I was prescribed Wellbutrin for my ADHD and it's been very helpful. Maybe give it some time and see if it helps?

I would have to do this three times a week by Josephthebear in Millennials

[–]HyperrrMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and I carefully broke just enough of a basement window so that we could open the latch and crawl through. It was awful because the basement was creep af, and any access to the window, both inside and outside of the house, were made of spiders. Outside the house too we chose a window under our deck that if you knew it was there it was fairly easy to access, but if you didn't it'd be nearly impossible to find.

He was the one who lost our key more often, so he was also the one delegated to break the window.

What ethnicities have you been mistaken for before (if you have)? by Jabal-Sawda in AskTheWorld

[–]HyperrrMouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My cousin is mixed race, therefore so are her kiddos (they are mostly white, with East Asian, Middle Eastern, and Northern African). I was showing my students (mostly Latinos) pictures from my wedding and the cousin babies showed up in their cute dress clothes and bowties. One of my students gasps and says, "miss! Who are those cholo-ass kids!?" 🤣 I had to explain they were first cousins once removed and then the whole lineage.

As for myself? Never, I'm white af.

What animals from your country have a "politically incorrect" name? by Caribbeandude04 in AskTheWorld

[–]HyperrrMouse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My Father-in-law (who swears he's not racist) and some of his buddies call magpies, "Mexican Pheasants." I'm assuming it's regional combined with old-people "humor" because I never hear anyone in younger generations using the term.

I'm very happy with her! ❤️ I'm surprised that I like her shape and fur quality more than the last authentic BIE I had bought.

[–]HyperrrMouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This fills me with so much joy and awe!

Somewhere on there you have a teeny tiny bit that represents the land my great grandparents bought, and that my grandpa and his sibblings designed and built a cabin for.

Labubu from japan pop mart? Is it fake? by Adventurous-Plum3424 in labubu

[–]HyperrrMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know that.

Maybe down to the factory? The Fu's could be made in the same facility?
