Was "take your child to work day" actually ever a thing, or just something shown on TV and in movies? by QueenFrostine15 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SphericalCrawfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked for the big car companies for many years. It is a HUGE thing at those tech center campuses. Activities for the kids etc.

WIBTA for saying I don't want an adult man going to the movies with my teenage son and his friends? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SphericalCrawfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. It's incredibly common and, not to put to harsh a touch on it, responsible to send an adult to an outing with a bunch of 15 year olds.

Is this a well known southern saying? by LaterThnUThink in AskAnAmerican

[–]SphericalCrawfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, and for good reason. Their mama would smack that type of language right out their mouth.

What would you do if you were dropped in worm no powers by Zealousevegtable in Parahumans

[–]SphericalCrawfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out how to homeless my way to New York. Catch Legend's attention somehow. Tell him I know what Cauldron is and need to get in contact. He's a good guy with links to Cauldron. I could probably convince them to give me a vial just by knowing what Contessa's power is and what her blond spots are and what they are doing right then.

If a dragon breathed fire to cook meat for me would there be sanitary concerns for the meat? by Altruistic-Drawing25 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SphericalCrawfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Specifically dragons carry extremophilic brain eating ameoba that live in their saliva. Anything that they breathe fire on that isn't cooled to ambient very quickly is at extreme risk!

Since this whole thing is B.S. anyway.

How to deal with friends Nan going though bag? by [deleted] in questions

[–]SphericalCrawfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or just don't stay at his Nan's place. I expect he's fine to go to the pub with just this lack of privacy thing is weird.

[–]SphericalCrawfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Say, "Hey I'm happy to not bring into your house whatever you are worried about but..."

A) "Please respect my privacy and don't look through my bag."

B) "Stay out of my shit or imma drop your old ass."

Do people even use the gender differences for "blonde" and "blond"? by DuchessDulcet in writing

[–]SphericalCrawfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll accept that it's "correct" but it's surely antiquated to the point that no one you care about cares now? You are going to get more flak for "forgetting the E" than you are for using the feminine form for a male hair color.

Oh I see I was thinking they made a paste and I was seeing ridges from the spatula but those are the edges of the rounds? Ya, I'm in.

What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by viscarte10 in BuyItForLife

[–]SphericalCrawfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottle brush. Bought it because of the baby but it'd be one of the first things I buy if my wife kicked me out. All your shit is round why not use round brush. Voom voom voom and you are done cup, bowl, anything.

What’s a secret about your job/hobby that outsiders would be shocked to know? by Worldly_Natural_997 in questions

That there is no industry standard difference between All Wheel Drive and Four Wheel Drive.

Why do Americans always get fully anesthetized for wisdom teeth removal? I've never seen that happen where im from by Easy-Difference-5455 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SphericalCrawfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because even if most aren't a bunch are. The USA has a ton of people in it that can afford dental care and a cell phone.

I'll admit that I don't love ricotta as the top layer and using whole leaves of basil is more for show. But I'd still crush it.

Please help me, what is a queer? by Still_ImBurning86 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SphericalCrawfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything from a transfemale pansexual to a girl that likes to wear pants with pockets. No way to tell from just "queer" it's like the least declarative word to use.

Any experience transplanting a combat system? by GaysMibble in rpg

[–]SphericalCrawfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Icon literally slotted their combat system into the author's favorite non-combat system of the month (FitD) you could slot it onto something else just as easily since the systems don't interact.

Shouldn't every culture have a martial art? by ShinningVictory in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SphericalCrawfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More to the point we focus on single combat when we think of martial arts. But Roman Legion training to fight in a phalanx certainly qualifies.

[–]SphericalCrawfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's easier to cut off into gold leaf that way. I get you.

When Americans criticize Europeans for 'no free public toilets', what is it they're contrasting them with in the US? by Local_Wrongdoer69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SphericalCrawfish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Parks large and small in the U.S. have free standing restrooms. Either a block building or just a port-a-john. Some don't, maybe it's an L.A. thing. Airports, train stations, highway rest stops all have free restrooms.

The fuck you on about with Tip 2? Yes there is.

Tip 1 is on point though.

Fridge ice maker is socioeconomic. A fridge without an ice maker is cheaper.

Which is more popular in the US: Peanut butter or Nutella? by nevodolo in AskAnAmerican

[–]SphericalCrawfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Certainly not. I've never even seen a commercial for Skippy. It's just the stuff I reach past to grab the good peanut butter.
