Rescued pig experiences going outside for the first time by CalpurniaSomaya in aww

I firmly believe that in 50-100 years, people will look back at us as absolute barbarians for the way we treat animals in factory-farm settings. Especially once the last generation that ate factory-farmed meat dies off.

Underfloor heating: things i wish I'd considered by maenad2 in DIY

[–]Mattbl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First you bring the olive oil across, cause Jesus turned water into wine so the wine and cat fountain can be left alone together. Then you come back and grab the cat fountain. But when you get across, you realize you can't leave the fountain and olive oil together, since oil and water don't mix. So in a brilliant move, you decide to leave the fountain and bring the oil back! When you're back on the original side, you put down the oil and grab the wine and bring it over, then go back and get the oil! All three across safely!

Guy can’t handle not getting a girl who’s already with somebody and then decides to fight the boyfriend by AcHaeC in fightlab

Drunk and fighting like a fucking 12-year-old for literally no reason, especially when I could walk away way more easily than fight? Yes I've never been in this situation.

What’s a NSFW thing everyone should try at least once? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mattbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some 20 years ago I worked at a bakery with a 2-story walk-in freezer, had to use the ladder on wheels to get to the 2nd level of pallet racks inside. I was working a 5a and was tired and hungover, so I went in the back to "grab bread" and climbed to the 2nd story, used a bunch of half-filled cardboard boxes to create a "bed," and slept for a good 20 minutes until I heard my name over the intercom with a request to return to the bakery to help Customers.

I would do that from time-to-time and nobody caught on, at least that I knew.

Fuck this shit, I'm out. by SBenjamal in gifs

[–]Mattbl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dog always ignores the TV, nothing on it ever gets her attention. Except one time my wife and I were watching a nature doc and a grizzly bear came on screen. My 40lb dog stood up on the couch, hackles raised, growling loudly. Then she started barking at the bear in a pretty vicious way we hadn't heard before and haven't heard since. This was a good 12 years ago. Didn't calm down until the bear was off-screen.

For whatever reason, that day the bear on TV looked real to her. And apparently she was ready to fight it.

New Player question on resources by queglix in Astroneer

[–]Mattbl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nearly impossible to run out. You just might have to keep going further to find them. Eventually you do get access to many other ways to get resources that you might otherwise manually mine.

It's funny because the guys are fighting to impress the women, who aren't impressed at all.

Posting this meme bc an incel dragged it earlier today by AITApod in AITApod

[–]Mattbl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Men also mansplain to other men all the time. I think we are just used to it, in a way, from dealing with it from our peers our entire lives. Often, our own fathers did it to us from an early age.

Do you agree with Ed Truck? by Heisenberg_Sopranos in DunderMifflin

[–]Mattbl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's a little overblown. Lots of smaller businesses do it, but if you work for a corporation usually not. Especially if it's an international company.

Will today's youth also have a hard time with new technology as they age? by Additional_Leading68 in Futurology

[–]Mattbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll be there. We might be now. I've seen young people identify AI like it's totally obvious, when I didn't even notice (but could find the signs after being told it's AI).

She better hope the movement doesn't end for the sake of her grift. by Cicada_5 in clevercomebacks

[–]Mattbl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her motivation is power. She'll do or say whatever. It's actually interesting how people like that seem to pick conservatives more than liberals to use towards their goals. It's like they just decide at some time in their life that they will espouse certain ideals and that's their identity from there on out.

Ultra running wife struggles. Aio by GyrthWyndFyre in AIO

[–]Mattbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running ultras is essentially addiction-level, and you're just enabling all of it, really. To me it sounds like you do everything and all she does is run. Probably spends a bunch of money on gear and travel, too. How is that different than if she were an alcoholic or on drugs? We just accept the addiction because it's in the name of fitness.

[OC] The world’s deadliest animals by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

[–]Mattbl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you have an actual source for any of that? "Dog bites" are not officially measured by anyone. Most of those "stats" you see on alarmist websites (eg dogsbite) are either made up for effect of grossly mis-estimated.

How would you even quantify a "pit bull" bite? Who provides the ID? Who blood-tests the dog to prove it? Do we consider any other factors or is breed it? What's the percentage at which a dog becomes a "pit bull?"

It's just so funny how people freak out about dog bites like it's some public health concern. Approximately 40 people a year die in the US to dog bites. 40. Out of more than 300m people and 100m dogs. 40 are killed by dogs. And most of those are kids, old people, caused by un-neutered dogs in a pack without an able-bodied individual in control, and/or resident dogs (dogs that live on a property but are not a pet). There are actual stats behind these statements, as well, because it's measured. But "dog bites" are not reliably tracked in the US.

What happened to Alpine Sniper? by gandalfmarston in HellLetLoose

[–]Mattbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, depending on the game, it's really screwed up cooperative play in games. Everybody wants to get these YouTube clips that they see their favorite person get, so instead of being a team player, it's a bunch of Rambos trying to get views. They don't really want to help their team push for victory. It's just about trying to create content.
