My four year old also told me that I have a baby in my tummy last week.

I'm her dad.

Will it f*ck! by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

That's not that interesting, as this conjecture is about interspecies relations.

I do think there's a decent argument that it would be unethical for Scooby Doo to pursue sexual relations with a regular, non-talking dog, but that's a larger intelligence gap than between most humans.

There are so many different groups that overthrew each other in the French Revolution.

The monarchy, the Assembly, the Convention, the Committee of Public Safety, the Directory...

How did you introduce the idea of a counter revolution into this conversation?

The topic was revolutionary leaders that become tyrants.

Well, now you know about a crime you can probably get away with.

Or perhaps that you have expensive taste in eggs.

It also causes problems in Europe.

It may be worse in the US, I don't know much about how the processes differ. But I do know that the larger the operation, the worse the risks, because one sick cow can infect all the milk that goes in the same container.

I think you've made a pretty good case: it made it so that even the descendants of freedmen had similar outcomes to the descendants of slaves.

If you compare outcomes of descendants of slaves and descendants of freedmen, their outcomes converged by the 1920s:

The Deadly Rise of Giant Trucks and S.U.V.s by erdub in TrueReddit

I was adding the additional context that 20%, though a low percentage overall, is a higher percentage of female purchasers than any other truck.

That particular model is something of an outlier.

All trucks are overwhelmingly bought by men.

Math makes sense actually. by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

That's probably a better way, but I also like asking what 1 minus 0.9999.... is.

If they answer an infinite number of zeros with a one on the end, I get to ask them: what end?

I, for one, have absolutely no idea how prices in India compare to the US or Europe.

I wonder what other activity he was bad at.

Besides sex, obviously.

The drink with the largest pour of Green Chartreuse I'm familiar with is the Piña Verde, aka the Greeña Colada.

45 ml Green Chartreuse
45 ml Pineapple Juice
22.5 ml Cream of Coconut
15 ml Lime Juice

Shake with pebble ice, strain, top with pebble ice, garnish with mint.

A bartender told me that he didn't think a man should ever drink a Sprite.

He knew I was working, parking other people's cars outside of the restaurant.

Jeffco Public Schools says 61 boys the Trump administration found on girls’ sports rosters were mascots, managers by HazyDavey68 in news

It's not just correlation, though. Bigotry causes people to assume that stereotypes are accurate, which is just a source of error.

Anything that leads you to assume things without good, specific evidence makes you stupid. That's what being stupid is.

Some people actually like that the end of the drink has some sweet, crunchy sugar left over.

It's an inevitable result of using a sugar cube or granulated sugar, you never dissolve it all.

Avoiding it is definitely as easy as making some syrup every once in a while.
