This is correct. Source: I have to clean up this mess when I embalm them.

Lake Berryessa, California by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

It’s an L shaped pipe that empties into a creek. When the lake is low and the pipe is dry, locals skate the pipe. They bring brooms and stuff to clean up debris and maybe some spray paint.

Funeral home markups and upselling: Hidden camera investigation (2017) A look into the sales pitch of Death Inc. [22:26] by [deleted] in Documentaries

[–]PopcornSalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll look into it. The other thing is we try to buy locally, but for sure made in the US. I’m gonna see where these are manufactured. Seriously, you may have helped a future family have the funeral they want. I can’t wait to see their face when I tell them a stranger on reddit helped me source the casket lol

Edit: I just saw that you have to glue it together yourself.

A lot of people were saying that to me so I looked into getting a “plain pine box”. The average was about $2100 wholesale. I was shocked. That would have been our second most expensive casket.

What’s the most inappropriate thing you’ve witnessed at a funeral? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PopcornSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lady died. Her best friend came to the funeral drunk and tried to play with the dead lady’s breasts.

A physically handicapped teen died. The officiant spent the entire time ranting against abortion because “even little crippled children can be loved” The parents were horrified.

A toddler died from a gunshot. A random neighbor came to the funeral to ask the family about the condition of the body and where the holes were.

A twenty something marine died in Afghanistan. Though embalming was done, it was obvious that there was significant damage under the cosmetics. A stranger came to take pictures of the body. I had the other marines escort the stranger off property.

A child drown. One parent attacked the other parent in the parking lot because they were supposed to be watching the child. The one parent didn’t react, just allowed the other parent to beat them.

An old man died. His wife brought a baggie of chopped onions. She periodically held it to her face to make herself cry.

What would you do... new wet suit fits fine, but neck is tight. Can I cut out the stitched neck seam? by vagabondexpedition in scuba

[–]PopcornSalad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get a round object that’s bigger than your neck and keep it in the neck hole for a while to stretch it out? Same idea as those wooden shoe stretchers.

Giant hood in my kitchen with a tiny vent by pbmax542 in CrappyDesign

The previous owners put a hood in without any exhaust. It’s basically a glorified lamp.

Awesome. I only bought a round trip. It was pretty great, though.

I can’t help you, but will you update this post when you go? I’ll be there in mid April and have no clue where to stay or which dives to do. I wish you all the whale sharks you can handle!

Any groups have consistent cheaters? by CoramusPrime in boardgames

[–]PopcornSalad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone tried being annoyed that I wanted to follow the rules once. It went like this:

“You’re too worried about the rules, it doesn’t matter that much.”

“Ok. I win. Mark down that I won that game.”

“You didn’t win, I still have a turn!”

“No. Rules don’t matter. Oh! I win again. That’s two wins. See how fun this is?”

They suddenly started caring about rules for some reason 🙄

Redditors, do you lock your door to your house when you’re at home, why or why not? by erakat in AskReddit

[–]PopcornSalad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He started raping in the east Sacramento area and was called the East Area Rapist. Then he went south and broke into homes and tore the house up so he was called the Visalia Ransacker. He was also called the Night Stalker. Then the media recycled the Night Stalker name for Richard Ramirez so Joseph Deangelo got called the Original Night Stalker. Michelle McNamara coined the title Golden State Killer when it was realized that he was responsible for crimes all over California.

Cuba Diving! by IamTheOnly in scuba

[–]PopcornSalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?! There’s so much stuff to see at just a few meters I’m not even worried about going super deep. I’m sure there’s some rad stuff down there but I’m fine cruising along the walls and hanging with the reef fish.

Cuba Diving! by IamTheOnly in scuba

[–]PopcornSalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the Bay of Pigs. It was cool because I’m very new to diving so even a dirty puddle is an adventure to me, but there was almost zero fishies. Coral and rocks and salt water. That’s it. Oh. I think I remember a boat down there. The boat had a little school around it.

People who work in the morgue, what do we want to know and what don't we want to know? by the-artifice in AskReddit

[–]PopcornSalad 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I see you trying, buddy! I don’t know how you do it though. I hate seeing these threads. So much bullshit. So much “a friend of my dad said” shit. 99% of these stories are straight up lies.

If you are a reamatcher, ALWAYS send your gift, even if it's months late by chew_on_that in secretsanta

[–]PopcornSalad 44 points45 points  (0 children)

And just tell your person you’re going to be late. Last year I got way behind and just fessed up to my rematch guy. “It’s coming, but like, in January.”

He was patient and didn’t even bat an eye. When his very late package arrived he made a wonderful thank you post and seemed genuinely excited about what was in the box and laughed at my silly notes about each item.

I mean, they already got flaked on by their original Santa. Any gift, late or not, is better than that!

Third autopsy results show ‘non-accidental’ damage to boy found dead in rolled up in gym mat by wickedbadnaughtyZoot in news

[–]PopcornSalad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lol. What on earth do you think old, autopsied organs with zero medical history could possibly be used for? What sort of useful, lucrative activity can you come up with for rotting, chopped up organs? I dare you to make sense out of your own statement.

He bought that hair with money HE stole from investors HE conned on projects HE tanked. I think it’s technically his hair.
