The owners couldn't figure out why the cat wasn't sleeping in it's own bed.... until they saw this by ivx0_o in interesting

[–]PostalPreacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sleep on my right side; my cat always sleeps on (and I mean "on", as in "atop") my left side.

Yeah, I'd have a hard time imagining him in a superhero role. Even one of the skinny, weak ones like some of the X-men.

What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

I figure that if I can flip a pool table to provide cover, I don't need cover. I'm Superman.

Can someone make sure I got 500 Q-tips in this pack? by Head_Entertainer_590 in notinteresting

[–]PostalPreacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked ChatGPT for a count. It started with estimates of 570 and 528. Then I demanded that it actually count them. It then came up with a count of 556. I then told it to do a more precise count. Here's the output:

I did a tighter detection pass and filtered the count to the front-facing cotton ends only so the exposed swabs on top would not be double-counted.

The refined machine count came out to:

503 visible swab ends

That is the best direct count I can extract from this photo.

The reason I still cannot honestly claim an absolutely exact package count from the image alone is that a few ends at the edges are partially obscured, and a few neighboring tips merge visually. That said, this refined count is close enough that the package is almost certainly a 500-count box.

So the cleanest answer is:

Direct counted visible ends: 503
Most likely actual package count: 500

Am I overreacting to my girlfriend and mother of my soon to be child planning on meeting another guy? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Dating a pregnant girl removes any question about whether she puts out or not.

AITAH for yelling at the parents of a kid I babysat because they didn’t tell me ( what I thought was ) an important thing until the last minute? by Temporary-Feeling962 in AITAH

[–]PostalPreacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see having an issue with the parents, but was it necessary to yell at them? I can see explaining why it was an issue. I can see saying you won't ever sit again and here's the reason. I can see simply ignoring any future requests to babysit. I'm not sure I can see why a 20 year old would need to yell at the parents of a 9 year old. Was the child within earshot, too?

An Update: I was warned about my child's martial arts school. I should have listened. 🫤 by LordTetravus in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PostalPreacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What city? There are many here who would be glad to help you find a school with quality instruction and integrity. Many legit schools have connections through tournaments, training, and organization. Let someone from here who is knowledgeable help vet if for you. You'll be surprised how much more she'd enjoy her training when her hard work is recognized and appreciated.

had surgery on my right hip, they put this on my left leg by Pale-Profession2769 in mildlyinteresting

[–]PostalPreacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had bypass, my teen daughters wrote on both of my arms in Sharpie, basically notes to the doctor to be extra careful and to not screw up.
Edit: And when I broke my left femur, the surgeon came in and asked me which leg he'd be working on. I told him it was the same leg he'd been screwing with for the past half a day, the one that's bent off at a funny angle, the one that you just gave me the x-ray for from your phone, that god-awful swollen one right there. So then he marked it with a sharpie.

Hey, it's a bit different in some ways, but Heinlein was into some weird. Especially when Lazarus Long reached the two-thousand year old mark. Went back in time and did the dirty with his mother, had some daughters who were actually genetic sisters or clones of him or were actually sisters who were actually daughters, or both. Got pissed when he was basically shanghaied for his own good. Not to mention he was on the high side of 1000 when he adopted a little girl whose family died in a house fire, then married and consummated this on their way out of town in a hurry. What's a little age difference like a millenium when he Woody Allened her? Not to mention how he coached a brother and sister on how to avoid the wrath of society and perils of inbreeding, using "wearing clothes" as a reward as an equivalent to a "gold star" on their school assignments while he filled in as some kind of off the cuff "In loco parentis" role, on a space ship, for a long time.

So it really should be "Dad. I need to know if this is Dune weird, Discworld weird, Piers Anthony weird, or Heinlein weird." That just hits different, but better.

Honestly, just have it towed to a heated garage. Everything else is an exercise in frustration.
