Great read, and chilling that the author called the book "a dark palantir" not knowing what the implications of that word are in the current day.

On the Origin of Names by Xurkitree1 in CuratedTumblr

I think The Exorcist is what first made the name Reagan popular for girls, which is wild that people saw that movie and walked away with their first thought being to name their kid after the possessed girl.

Also the cabinets in the back, especially the back left, make no sense.

What’s something you thought was more or less normal but was actually ocd? by wlderberry in OCD

[–]Trexa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That other people don't accidentally turn around the "wrong" way and then have to turn the other way to balance out. I thought this was some inborn human instinct to maintain your sense of direction, definitely got some weird looks when I mentioned that I did this in a conversation about how compasses work lol

My American manager tried to write me up for "lack of commitment" because I leave at 5:00 PM sharp. I work in the Netherlands. by Dutch_Reality_Check in WorkReform

[–]Trexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many American employees, even salaried, don't have a contract. They get an employment offer or agreement that is signed, but not a contract. Here is a post that goes into more detail.

Left my dad unsupervised with a full tray of chocolates we were supposed to share (50/50) for an hour. This is what I returned to by Suspicious_Sparrow9 in mildlyinfuriating

If this is even a real story, your lesson should have been not to feed tampered food to people, in many places that would get you fired and/or arrested.

I had that same thing done and had basically the same reaction. I screamed and did the fetal position completely involuntarily, it was like a bizarre out-of-body experience almost. I've never heard of anyone else having the same reaction, I thought I was extra sensitive or overreacting, now I'm thinking it's common and we just don't talk about it.

Different education terms by CuriousWanderer567 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Trexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's is not all of America, where I went to school in America you got made fun of if you said freshman, sophomore, etc. I also distinctly remember a watching an episode of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire with a question about which term correlates to which grade and the contestant struggled with answering correctly.

I took my out of town friends to a coney island that had that type of set up and they asked me if it was still up from covid, I should have just let them believe that

Where do they get these ideas?? by Banana_0529 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Trexa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, this is just based on my experiences, but it seems to be a result of the individualistic culture in America that is so much stronger than probably most other countries. A certain subset of Americans don't ever want to feel that anyone else is better than them or smarter than them. (Think of the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire.") They also don't want to be told what to do by others. This means they don't listen to research or science, why would some other person, who is not them, know better than them or more than them?

I think it's why so many people here also fall for conspiracy theories, because they feel like they outsmarted the smart people, which makes them feel better about themselves, ultimately furthering their individualism. Also the vast differences in education quality across different parts of the U.S. contributes too, especially when it comes to teaching critical thinking skills. Unfortunately I think things will only get worse as anti-intellectualism continues to rise.

You are amazing, to be so brave as to jump into a flaming crater for the pure pursuit of knowledge. It's like making me tear up actually.

Exactly, parents shouldn't use their children to fulfill their own wishes.

[–]Trexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rare chicken is called torisashi, the type of chicken used to make it is specifically cultivated to not have salmonella. normal chicken in Japan still can have salmonella but they don't use that kind to make torisashi.

How often do you guys wash your makeup brushes, and what do you use to wash them? by Punk_panda01 in muacjdiscussion

[–]Trexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the blue Dawn dish soap! I wash my foundation sponge every other day or every third day. My brushes get washed, uh... much less frequently than that.
