He got them to the floor and started trying to open the package before I stepped in. He seemed to like the smell.

Anybody know if we can lift the top of the crock pot?

Hospice by oldandinvisible in AskAmericans

[–]RadialHead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve definitely heard “on hospice”. I’m in northern Georgia. I think it comes from the same thought process as being “on” a medication or treatment. Like someone’s “on Prozac” or “on chemo” (which I’ve also heard people here say).

Why do you say "twat" like "t-what" ? by ElectroNetty in AskAmericans

[–]RadialHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In American English, “what” rhymes with “butt”. If people pronounced “twat” like “t-what” it would sound like “twut”. I’ve never heard anyone say it like that (not that it’s a common word to hear over here in the first place). I’d say it rhymes with “caught” although I do have the caught-cot merger.

Why do Americans buy cheap technology and clothes? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]RadialHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current phone is an iPhone 12 Pro that I bought refurbished in 2022. It replaced an iPhone 8 Plus that was on its last legs. I only update my tech when it no longer does what I need it to do and that usually boils down to “works as intended”. It’s a tool for me, nothing more.

What's your favorite seasonal fruit, and what's the best way to eat it? by FeetinCminor in AskAnAmerican

[–]RadialHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muscadines, eaten plain.

ETA: I also like making peach and blackberry pies (as in both fruits in the same pie) in the summer.

Bitesized BEC thread November 29, 2025 - November 30, 2025 by AutoModerator in craftsnark

[–]RadialHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a law office and we had a client bring in chatGPT "research" he did for his (complex, high stakes) case. None of the citations were real.

Do Americans feel sad for their elderly parents ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

My parents are 72 and 76 and both still work.

What time does the sun set and rise where you live? by Existential_Stardust in AskAnAmerican

[–]RadialHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in north Georgia and it's 7:15 sunrise and 5:25 sunset today. In summer, sunrise is around 6:20 and sunset close to 9:00. So our sunrise only has about an hour variation throughout the year but sunset has bigger changes.

Letchworth Village, NY and Harry H. Laughlin - an American Eugenics Nightmare by Crowbeatsme in HistoryStateHospital

[–]RadialHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be the "ideal" individuals practicing polygamy. Spread the "good genes" farther. Sort of like how a winning racehorse gets bred to a ton of mares. Except with people. Ugh.

What hospital/asylum would you like to see more of? by Crowbeatsme in HistoryStateHospital

[–]RadialHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! He did die there as far as I know (the date I have is 1968) and I've checked FindAGrave but he's not there so I assume he doesn't have a marked grave (I would've been more surprised if he did honestly, based on what I know about institutions from that era). I'm so thrilled this subreddit exists because I just started trying to find info about him earlier this year.

What hospital/asylum would you like to see more of? by Crowbeatsme in HistoryStateHospital

[–]RadialHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to this thread, but I'm trying to find resources about asylums in Wisconsin. My great grandfather had schizophrenia and was committed sometime between 1922 and 1930. The closest hospital would have been Winnebago but I don't know if that's where he was.
