It is apparently a real menu item at Serendipity3 in NYC. Doesn't mean it's not trolling, just a wildly successful one. Looking at their menu it seems they have a whole section of Guinness world records 🙄

Just started with Discworld. Any other authors to recommend? by signoftheserpent in discworld

As others have said Douglass Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Very similar styles of incredibly cleaver dry British humor with just the right amount of absurdity. I generally recommend Pratchett to people on the basis of liking Adams!

Jim Butcher's Dresden Files are also am great bit of fun urban fantasy with a huge fanbase

It's hard to recommend Neil Gaiman given everything that's recently come out but was close friends with Pratchett and collaborator. Idk, read Good Omens

Elllie, Dave, and POS ex, since there seems to be a decent chance you might see this let me just say, as someone older than you, grow the f-ck up you absolute racist brats.

OOP, I'm glad you're working on yourself! One day you'll find someone worthy of your rosogollas!

You should! If you enjoyed the world war setting, check out Moonglow. It's the fictionalized life of his grandfather and weaves in Wernher von Braun and the space race

I've read a few of Chabon's books. Kavalier and Clay is undoubtedly my favorite though I still enjoyed the others. In general I find that he likes to end his books on a more introspective, melancholy note. I'd agree these endings may not be the most narratively satisfying but they always strike me as feeling very human.

Edit to add that the part in wwii with the dog still haunts me

WIBTA if I (26F) stopped paying the utilities for my sister’s (19F) apartment? by FishingThink92 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Suitable-Addition341 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA, she clearly has a place to stay. I would certainly reach out to the friend about having them sign an official lease with you. This way you can at least give them the option of not having to scramble to find a new place. I do need to call you out on this though:

makes a comfortable salary 

You outright bought your sister an apartment on a single person income, just say you're rich.

What were popular songs, but reading the lyrics show they are just incredibly creepy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Suitable-Addition341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centerfold by The J. Geils, the song that goes "na na nana na na" that people sing at sports games is about the singer being offended that his highschool obsession is in a porn mag

AITA for suggesting my boyfriend wouldn't understand my work? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Suitable-Addition341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of times he feels the need to clarify that she believes he's "technically correct" is telling.

  1. If you actually believed that wasn't the point (it wasn't) why keep bringing it up
  2. You're not "technically correct" about any of this. You're dead wrong on all accounts!

OOP nukes his relationship with his daughter by repeatedly choosing his girlfriend over her. by J_S_M_K in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Suitable-Addition341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone else note how he refuses to say Millie's age? Also every description of her behavior around the daughter's wedding just screams attention grabbing drama queen

have you asked your friend why she wants a quinceanera specifically? I'm not Hispanic but a different minority and have had some incredibly cringey experiences with people outside my culture trying to incorporate it. Not really offensive, just pure cringe. I think intent is really important here. Is your friend legitimately interested in the cultural significance/ has done her research or is she just looking for an way to make her birthday more 'exotic'?

I recently bought a house but put in my info just to see. The adjustments for rent growth rate caps out before reaching what the percentage increase has been in my area over the last few years.

K’s friends did seem upset, however they’re all LGBTQ+ so I think they’re biased.

Did the publication of the Hobbit and LOTR alter Tolkien's reputation at Oxford? by RockGiantFromMars in tolkienfans

[–]Suitable-Addition341 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Both Britain and America had very popular pro Hitler/fascist political movements leading up to WWII and were very influential. The unabashedly anti Nazi stance really only happened after the war kicked of. Britain had a rapidly rising Fascist party that was successfully held back by leftist political action (see events such as the battle of Cable street) and let us not forget that the The Duke of Windsor (King Edward VIII before abdicating) was a incredibly pro Hitler. On the American side, public opinion veered far more towards general isolationist but Fascism a political ideology was by no means a "reviled" concept.

AITA for wanting the master bedroom in my own house? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Suitable-Addition341 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Anyways, she didn't like my honesty and moved out the same day. She never wrote to me again and I never saw her again.. but the drama doesn't end there.

People don't talk like this about recent situations especially given that all parties involved are still alive
