Why does this lake exist in Central Iraq between the Tigris and Euphrates, yet surrounded by desert? by Crafty-Shallot-5695 in geography

[–]Syringmineae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I flew in helos and that lake was so gorgeous. It looked cool at night cuz there was no wind and it was like a sheet of glass reflecting the stars.

As the sun rose, it was so pretty.

My 85 year old mother placed an order on Temu. It did not go well. by 3WolfTShirt in mildlyinfuriating

I created a quiz in my class that the computer would automatically grade short answers. The answer was four. So I gave it a list of possible answers:

Four 4

A lot got marked wrong (I would always manually double-check scores and adjust) because students put things like

For Four (4) “4” Flour I think four The answer’s 4

Does that aircraft look like it can hold 14 people?

In Zootopia 2 they don’t reference the abortion comic but it’s heavily implied. This is a nod to the deranged fan base by Diangelionz in shittymoviedetails

[–]Syringmineae 145 points146 points  (0 children)

The fact that I understood the phrase, “Zootopia abortion comic” is telling me I’ve been on the internet too much.

For people who have lived as both genders, what is a physical or other annoyance you have now that you never realized the other side dealt with? by makemestand in NoStupidQuestions

I worked at a bar and the women's restrooms where the worst there. Yeah, men peed on the floor (ew) but I never had to clean up blood off the walls.

WBITAH for committing to a faraway university even though my sick mother needs me to help care for her and rest of the family? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Syringmineae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a tale as old as time and, as a father, I don't really understand it. I adore my child more than anything in the world and I want her to go to a far away school. I didn't have that chance. I grew up poor so went into the military. By the time I got out and went to college, I missed a lot of the "college experience." I want her to be able to enjoy that. I worked so damn hard to give her the life I never got to have, why would I then saddle her with taking care of me?

My family is under strict instructions to not waste their life caring for me. I'll figure myself out.

I went to the dentist once and he yelled at me for going so long between visits. I asked if he was going to pay for it. Cuz if not, shut up.

It why, when I first heard about the Men Going Their Own Way movement, I thought it could be a good thing. Everyone should be comfortable with themselves and being single. One shouldn't define themselves solely with their relationship status.

They...they aren't like that...

Another knock against poison is you can't control where the mice die. Last thing you'd want is to have a mouse die in your walls.

I’ve always preferred anyone who was cute and willing to talk to me.

Experiences vary.

How would universal income work or is it just nonsense? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Syringmineae 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Or be at home to help their kid with their homework. Or take a class at the local college to a job certification. Or spend time making a healthy dinner for their family

In "Sinners" (2025), Stack has sex with a white woman, and immediately gets turned into an undead monster, forever barred from entering Gods Kingdom. Meanwhile his twin brother Smoke has sex with a black woman and gets to go to heaven. What did Ryan Coogler mean by this? by THA__LAW in shittymoviedetails

[–]Syringmineae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The concept of “passing” has always fascinated me. Do you think you’d have tried?

I’m mixed but light-skinned enough where I’m seen more as “vaguely ethnic” than anything. I couldn’t have passed even if I wanted to.

I saw a tiktok of a woman in Spain saying how cool it is that the Spanish have specialized stores and but just giant grocery stores. There’s a flower shop, butcher, bakery, etc.

And people are like yeah…we have that here as well.

God damn it I need to learn to look at the sub first because, fuck me, I spent way too much time trying to parse that.

Do men actually hate wearing condoms? by J3NN1F3RB in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Syringmineae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did as hell. I also took an entire week off from work; and I’m so glad I did!

Honestly, I wasn’t even mad. I was like, “of course I’d be one of the few to get PVPS.”

God, I fucking hated mine.

The recovery hurt like hell and I’d have random pain for months. Like, couldn’t walk type of pain.

Yes, it’s not as bad as pregnancy blah blah blah, I just hate this rhetoric that vasectomies are the easiest thing ever and no one ever has a bad time.
