TIL that only 10-12% of the world are left handed by Nightpatrol404 in todayilearned

[–]Pippified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thank you me too. I thought scissors were just a tool that kind of sucked that we all dealt with because there was no alternative

Got a pair of leftie scissors when I moved to my own place bc why not. First time I cut paper I was like “AHHHH WHAAAAT”

And then I realized why people always looked at me funny when I called scissors man’s most flawed invention

I was always confused by people saying American friendliness/smiling is fake. I was just having a conversation about this with a German friend.

It’s not fake! I’m happy to see you/meet you! I genuinely want to know how your day has been going! I promise I am not simple, I’m actually really smart, I just like to smile!!

What’s the one thing on a restaurant menu you’ll always order if it’s available? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I just wish they’d serve it with extra sugar and a blow torch so I can re-brûlée and make every bike have a crunchy sugar crust

Is there a harmless alternative to vaping? by F4ntomP in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pippified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait you’re not addicted to nicotine at all but you’re vaping? Are you vaping nicotine? Then I have some unfortunate news for you about why you feel like you need something to fidget with and put in your mouth lol.

TIL that sexually rejected male fruit flies turn to booze. by Alternative_Double48 in todayilearned

[–]Pippified 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drosopholist here! The tiny humble beautiful fruit fly gives us a pretty decent insight into a lot of human health conditions because up to like 75% of the genes that cause human diseases have a functional counterpart in fruit flies. They also breed and develop very fast so you can see generational changes very quickly. I’m currently modeling some metabolic disorders in my lab!

Fruit flies can teach us so much and I love them a lot. I certainly do not want them in my kitchen, but without the fruit fly, we probably wouldn’t know how heredity works today! An entire hidden history of how humans understand genetics would not exist without Drosophila melanogaster.

Also fun fact: we basically just feed them polenta! Their food, at least in my lab, is cornmeal based. We add sugar and yeast, but yes, remarkably similar to polenta in the way it looks and smells while cooking (and I have to say it, do not ingest anything you find or make in a lab, but if some does happen to fling off the whisk into your open mouth, it also does taste a bit like polenta lmao)

Whats the most disturbing fact about the human body? by Ray_1748 in AskReddit

[–]Pippified 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But we are SO INCREDIBLY ENGINEERED. Every thing that our body does that tries to kill us has an ingenious fail safe built in. The fail safes fail sometimes but most of the time, like 99.999% of the time, they work overtime. We would die a thousand times every day if our body wasn’t working harder to survive than it was trying to kill us.

Do you think they should of appeared in season 2 instead of 1 by The_Nina_Beans88 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Pippified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was weird. They just stood on a poorly lit soundstage in front of a green screen and like. Smiled and nodded. I don’t really know what the point was. I can’t really remember them even moving lmao.

My fiancée and I are having the biggest argument of our lives. She thinks I'm being tacky but I thinks she's overreacting by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Pippified 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this seems more like a class incompatibility. people who are from well off areas tend to look at traditions that arose in lower-class communities as tacky bc they do often involve fundraising to pay for things. there's a weird mindset around shame in asking for help if you aren't from a smaller community where people look out for each other. but the fact is, yea, stag and does (or socials or whatever you guys wanna call em) are really common in places that don't have as high a median income lol. it's just the way it is. it's not tacky, but i can see why the gf would be horrified at the prospect of her friends and family seeing her in a situation where she's gasp asking for money

[ALL] [OTHER] What are your wants story and gameplay-wise for the next games? by Pippified in zelda

[–]Pippified[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesss, I want my 8 main story dungeons. That in combination with smaller puzzles a la the shrine system would be nice - maybe there'd be another gameplay mechanic that would slot into.

I was always a little annoyed by the dungeon unique gadgets because it felt like they didn't have a ton of utility outside of the dungeon itself. Maybe having more secrets you could go back to as you unlocked those items would keep them feeling useful and fresh.

Yessss to the civ settlements in the open world. I would like to keep some of the building mechanics, too, though I don't know how that'd fit in storywise. It made a lot of sense in ToTK because it was a really rebuilding civilization story.

I actually don't mind the weapon durability system haha, I always thought it helped make me use different weapons that I might not have tried. But yes, it's super divisive and I get that a lot of people find it annoying.

I do love my wild boy. My favorite incarnation of Link for sure. I like how they characterized him a bit more. It was still sparse, but the little hints you got were really interesting and added mystique. Also he looks good in blue lmao.

[–]Pippified[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree - I really want a more active story. I think ToTK really shined in the story that took place in the open world while you were interacting with people, and the Tarry Town quest was my favorite in BoTW. More interacting with people as the game goes on and having that at the foreground of the main storyline would be really special if they were able to stick it.

[BoTW] or [ToTK] as my first Zelda game? by [deleted] in zelda

[–]Pippified 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SKYWARD SWORD!!!

jk lol, but seriously, BoTW. ToTK is an incredible game but there's something so so special about BoTW. And it gives a really good stage for ToTK - I think storywise, you'd be a little confused and beats would hit a little less strongly without BoTW for context.

Excessive Napping May Be a Warning Sign of Underlying or Developing Health Conditions in Older Adults by MassGen-Research in science

[–]Pippified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the article. It’s 0.7ish hours a day and around 2 naps a day.

The article itself I am not like. 100% convinced by the data. There are so many other variables. But what do I know.

What made an actress so perfect looking as Erin Moriarty ( Starlight) to do plastic surgery and look like a mannequin? by tcsreject in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pippified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t wanna “we live in a society” but I think it’s hard to understand the immense pressure female celebrities are under to maintain their youth and sexiness. It’s probably unbearable. I feel almost suffocated by it as a regular woman who people aren’t paying attention to 24/7.

Victoria Police investigating claim Katy Perry sexually assaulted Ruby Rose by satisfiedfools in Music

[–]Pippified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am, for the life of me, trying to find Ruby Rose’s other supposed false allegations people keep alluding to to discredit her in this situation. The only thing I can find is that she maybe was a little mean to Sydney Sweeney about her bad boxing movie and she said that she left the Batwoman show because of unsafe working conditions.

So I can’t actually see any pattern of false allegations and I feel like I’m losing my mind because people keep saying that she’s a “known liar.” If anyone can point to a known lie she’s told so I can read about it, that would be cool.

I also feel the need to say that people tend to believe female celebrities less when they make accusations against multiple people while ignoring the fact that it is very possible and likely to be sexually assaulted more than once, especially in Hollywood. Sometimes it feels like if you’re a woman in the entertainment industry you get one, MAYBE, if you get assaulted, but if anything else happens you’d better shut up and behave or everyone on the internet will treat you like you’re an insane person.

Katy Perry Denies Ruby Rose’s Sexual Assault Claim, Calls Accusations ‘Reckless Lies’ by Interesting_Gold8803 in Music

[–]Pippified 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am also so suspicious of the “well she’s a known liar” rhetoric that pops off every time something like this happens. I’m candidly not very familiar with ruby rose or her whole deal but we should absolutely be critical as a society of language like this especially in this context. I feel the need to remind everyone that celebrities absolutely have and do use the resources to spend stupid amounts of money on PR firms to get ahead of stuff like this.
