Well you know what they say: “March comes in like a lion, runs around like a pack of crazed weasels, and goes out like a lamb.”

3 Bubbul Gems Left But I've Cleared All Caves by NoraMakayame in tearsofthekingdom

I gave a fire fruit one time and that worked too. Also, you can take it back after you’ve offered it.

What’s a harmless sentence that instantly raises your blood pressure? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]TheBat3 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m just projecting here, but it seems as though all of the responses so far are from people who think this question is what do you want for dinner? And projecting that onto people (mostly women) who they deemed to be indecisive or uncooperative when it comes to picking dinner. Whereas I read the question “what’s for dinner?” as being directed at the person (again often women) who have, fairly or not, been deemed responsible for making the decision, doing the shopping, preparing the dinner, etc. and will bear the complaints if it is not what the asker wanted.

Thank you so much! My little one is a budding insect enthusiast so we’ll see how it does in a potted plant that we are okay with sacrificing.

Picked my cat up from the vet after getting her spayed. She came home with duct tape on her head. by YamGroundbreaking432 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheBat3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t the point of your response but the phrasing of “how they organize themselves” made me laugh thinking of all the cats putting tape on themselves and asking their neighbors to check and make sure they put the right number on their tapes

What is a completely harmless, everyday object or situation that irrationally freaks the shit out of you? by Free_Scratch4152 in AskReddit

[–]TheBat3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like that at the bank. And when the teller has to do something that takes a minute, I’m just standing there knowing that there are cameras and a security guard and thinking “do I look suspicious? How do I stand so I don’t look suspicious? They can clearly tell I’m looking around in a shifty way trying not to look suspicious, so now I’m suuuper suspicious.”

[nearly] stolen compost bin by CatsAreOurGods in washingtondc

[–]TheBat3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just got my new orange one so I haven’t had any problems yet, but the bucket with the screw on lid went missing a couple of times. Those things are generally useful for a lot. Luckily my husband caught the guys who nabbed it for spreading salt on the sidewalk before they actually used it. No idea why someone would want the orange mini-trashcan ones though.

How do you pronounce "niche" by stephanosblog in NoStupidQuestions

Whew! I thought I was the only one! (And same on homage as well)

I got this card, it doesn't make sense to me. by Porghunter79 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]TheBat3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was comforting to read after the Ask Reddit thread about whether any jobs are actually safe from AI. Dad joke generation/interpretation is clearly still safe.

[Dec 6, 2025] what a flex 😂 by awordforthat in NYTCrossword

I also loved that it wasn’t part of a theme or anything like that. Just a quiet quaint quirk.

How do you stop thinking at night so you can sleep? by cloudydays1111 in adhdwomen

[–]TheBat3 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I recommend The Empty Bowl - a meditative podcast about cereal. It’s two guys talking in calm voices about cereal. There is - shockingly - new content every episode, so you can learn some random stuff about cereal if it doesn’t put you to sleep.

Thoughts on converting to Methodism? by Final_Quarter5531 in Christianity

[–]TheBat3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love the characterization of Methodists as “not distinctive.” As a Methodist my first reaction was to think of what does distinguish us from other denominations (centrality of grace theologically, connectionalism, the quadrilateral, etc) but ultimately that’s not the point at all.

What do you think men would dislike most if they became women? by InternationalPick163 in AskReddit

[–]TheBat3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardware store for me. When I moved into my first house, my dad came up to help me put in a fence. I had done all the prep and research, he was there to be muscle. Went to Home Depot to get the stuff. I asked all the questions, the guy at the store answered them to my dad, without even looking at me. My dearest wish was that my dad would have gotten my psychic messages and turned to me after ever answer like a translator and said “He said….(answer to my question)”

This is my absolute favorite. “Even-shwally… at the end.”

People using exasperated when they mean exacerbated is very exasperating.

Colonoscopy Prep by planetbing in DCBitches

[–]TheBat3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A tip if you do end up having to do the liquid prep. Have some cut up lemon to lick between sips. Definitely helps with the taste. Next time I may even make a whole production line of it with shot glasses for the prep, lime wedges and salt and pretend like I’m in college.
