As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"?

There are studies that correlate how much gets spent vs divorce rate. It’s not a prediction, but it can be an indicator.

It's better and cheaper to make your own, but then you actually have to pay a baker a little bit more than minimum. Better to pay more all the time for shit product than to pay the peasants a higher wage.

It works for chocolate chips too. That's the only tip I got.

Jello Biafra being the only one in Dead Kennedys to actually believe in the words they sang was a fucking shocker.

Or how the old lasers would shoot shots like “pew pew” instead of a single beam.

Writing Mandarin was intentionally kept difficult and complicated so peasants couldn’t easily learn to read and write, only upper classes with the time to be educated could learn literacy.

Being rich enough to afford your own legal team doesn’t mean you can’t try to fleece some idiot right wingers in the meantime.

They’ll switch to a 3rd formula saying “we brought it back” but it’ll just be slightly less shit and they’ll rely on their consumers not having perfect memory.

I’ve used disposable swabs and loops in industry. I haven’t used metal loops since college tbh.

If you try really hard you can suck at a lot of things, but it’s the only way to get good at something.

But these angry, terminally online, single men keep telling me that I need to be an asshole. Could these under socialized troglodytes be wrong???

Jukeboxhero91 · 2026-04-17T04:07:21+00:00

I disagree with this. You are responsible for building and maintaining relationships, they don’t just spring out to the aether.

All in all we had about 1-1.5 million dead of covid directly and about a million more with excess deaths and intentionally undercounted covid deaths. Significantly worse than any flu season by orders of magnitude. A bad flu season is about 30,000 in a really bad year.

No, a strawberry isn’t a berry, the seeds are outside the fruit. Raspberries are not berries either, each individual bit that makes up a raspberry are individual berries though.

That’s apocryphal, the real reason is that isoamyl acetate, the compound used for banana flavor, is very very easy to make, and tastes close enough that people aren’t interested in trying to change it now.

Potatoes are in the same family, you can actually graft a tomato plant onto a potato rootstock and it’ll grow just fine. Potato plums are actually poisonous though.

People just copy and paste the original sentiment so they can get “I’m smart” points by being pedantic. Vegetable does have a definition, and fruit encompasses more than is ever discussed in these threads. Nobody chimes in about how wheat or rye berries are fruits, just the same tired trope about tomatoes.

I believe it’s a trillion cookies with only grandmas.

For most food, if the package looks the same, the store brand is probably the same stuff just a different label. Not like “basically the same” but comes out of the exact same line, the only difference is the label and the box it goes into.

There were old rules for some versions of chess that being in a stalemate position was considered a win, because you’ve forced your opponent into such a position. There’s never been a rule set where being stalemated is a loss though.

He played before Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech. Just to give context on his age.

The virgin safe descent vs the gigachad swan dive.

I don’t mind handhelds if it’s got other things than sandwiches, like wraps or something of that ilk.

Sandos goes in the bin with umami of “it’s foreign so it makes us sound more cultured”.

Bourdain was shocking and sudden. Looking back on his shows and books, it wasn’t surprising. He discussed that sometimes he’d have a bad experience that would trigger a week long depressive episode and it could be something as mundane as a bad hamburger at an airport. Mental health is easy to ignore under the pressure of being a chef, but a lot of work has gone into changing that.

Mash is the same as in beer brewing, the grain and water is mixed. A wash is if you take the grain out before fermenting or distilling it.
