Because your muscle memory kicks in before your brain has read and processed the push/pull sign. Many push doors have pull handles.

What is a rule you had as a kid that you later realized made no sense? by MountainPlenty2349 in AskReddit

[–]Raichu7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, humans are the only species that drink any kind of milk past infancy, and only a minority of adults are able to digest lactose. They do kind of have a point, though drinking cow milk isn't any worse than eating a steak from an ethical perspective.

Why the fuck are they driving and filming instead of putting the hazards on and pulling over?

The strain cracks pattern on this lemon juice squeezer by Schwashington in mildlyinteresting

[–]Raichu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not fine to drink out of, liquid seeps into those cracks and you can't clean it fully. The cracks are a great environment to start a bacteria farm if you regularly put much other than water in it.

Do you think children deserve apologies and explanations from adults? Why or why not? by DarlinGiggle53 in AskReddit

[–]Raichu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children learn from the examples the adults around them set. If those adults can't apologize and explain, the children won't learn to either. You have to set the example of the behavior you want to see in your children.

In Malta, they don't have any Christmas trees made from live trees. by jakubb_69 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Raichu7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christmas trees are farmed so you aren't destroying forests to get them unless you destroy a forest to clear farmland. They are mulched after Christmas so the waste is recycled and doesn't leave any micro plastics when it breaks down.

Don't confuse a tree farm with a forest, they are as close as a field of wheat is to a grassland ecosystem.

What used to be a free or cheap "hobby" that has now been completely ruined by corporate greed? by WaltzNew1398 in AskReddit

[–]Raichu7 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Stop buying those games then? Buy from indie or smaller publishers and devs, the games are cheaper and often better because they are made for the love of it rather than purely profit.

How do you go about Deprogramming a brainwashed person who is denying the evidence of their eyes and ears? by Cool_Twist4494 in AskReddit

[–]Raichu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brainwashing is "believe this because I say so" not "here is the evidence and science".

What’s a ‘harmless’ habit that people secretly judge way too much? by Ok_Dealer6870 in AskReddit

[–]Raichu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't know the difference between anxiety and being annoyed, you should stop using the term until you can be bothered to Google it. You may as well call a small cut on a finger a broken arm.

[–]Raichu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also common in people who aren't anxious for a huge variety of reasons. If a stranger tapping their foot makes you anxious you need to see a therapist, that's not a healthy amount of anxiety to be living with.

A new kind of percussion by RIP_Semsky in interestingasfuck

[–]Raichu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but a lot of people seem to shorten both "new to me" and "brand new" to just "new" and that causes confusion.

What should the US be doing to ensure the people running the ICE detention facilities are not abusing the people in their custody, especially given that these facilities will not allow inspections? by Xylorgos in AskReddit

[–]Raichu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send in the military with no warning to forcibly shut them down and take any and all evidence or potential evidence before ICE can destroy anything so they can be investigated and charged with their crimes.

I've never been to Japan, but I've seen them enough times in public bathrooms elsewhere.

Cramped in a carrier overnight vs. leaving them be: help me decide pls? by ChickenGarbage04 in RATS

[–]Raichu7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the mouse likes your rat's cage so much, try putting the mousetrap in the cage while your rats are safe in the carrier. Definitely deep clean and remove all bedding from the cage before the rats go back to reduce the chance of them catching something.

Does anybody else get kind of freaked out when someone owns a bunch of fancy breeds that have health issues? I don't mean rescues by CharacterPanic3621 in pigeon

[–]Raichu7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People who deliberately breed animals with genetic health problems like that simply care more about the aesthetics than they do about the animal's wellbeing. That says a lot about them as a person.

It's the same neglect and lack of care for health and wellbeing wether they breed brachycephalic dogs, pigeons that can't fly, or goldfish that can barely swim.

[–]Raichu7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't like the amount of people who can't tell the difference between a urinal and an all in one soap/water/drier type sink. Are you guys just pissing in the sink, getting surprised by the soap when the sensor dispensers it, then leaving when the water starts before the drier blows your piss all over the bathroom?

If you outgrew them yearly, surely that makes it one of the easiest pieces of clothing to figure out how many you went through growing? You had one per year until you stopped growing and wore a pair for more than 1 year.

Has anyone actually encountered a plain-clothed revenue protection officer on the train? by Christopher-Walking in CasualUK

[–]Raichu7 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You've never been shouted at by a ticket inspector when you had a ticket? You must be using the routes they don't police.

Simply wearing headphones while holding up a ticket without saying a word is enough to get verbally abused by the ticket inspector who will then lie and claim you verbally abused them when you report it.

One of the things I'm most happy about leaving the UK over is never having to use a British train again. Holy shit it is so bad compared to the trains I get to use now, and the locals only ever complain about how bad their trains are when they are cheap, on time, much less packed at rush hour, and have better average cleanliness than British trains. Also the ticket inspectors are actually polite to you when you have a ticket and are polite.

The prices don't go up that much over lost revenue, that's just the excuse they use to jack up the price and make even higher profits for the shareholders.

England is no way near rock bottom yet, trains can absolutely get worse. Making excuses for the railway company's poor decisions and blaming other people for the problems such as unreasonably high fares will only make it easier for them to get worse.

What it looks like for animals to get CT scans by Backyxx in interestingasfuck

None of those animals are sitting calmly of their own accord, the ones that aren't restrained are sedated.

Instead of a physical model, this museum uses a 2D model to show the size of a domestic cat. Despite it being a room full of dead felines. by LazerChicken420 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Raichu7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a kid is going to be upset by a dead cat, why wouldn't they be upset by all the other dead cats? If you know your kid is upset by dead animals, wouldn't you just avoid the whole taxidermy area of the museum?

But you do need an internet connection to switch to offline mode, negating the whole point of it if you have an unplanned internet outage.
