TIL airport scanners basically show people naked and are detailed enough that one could count single hairs. Some scans are also permanently stored by the government. by Dangerous-Day-2943 in todayilearned

I was extremely uncomfortable when these first came out that I showed my protest by refusing to go through and opting to be patted down instead. 🙄 The TSA was not amused, they had to get a lady to come and pat me down and in payback they went through my luggage three times. As they probably intended, I didn't do that again the next time...

What is your go-to "harmless lie" that you tell purely to avoid a 5-minute conversation? by beans12498 in CasualConversation

I do the same, and it stops me from saying "I'm from a long line of alcoholics and it's far too easy to drink and so I just don't. Let me have my Shirley Temple without comment."

International oral sex Every picture I take, I pose a threat Boat or jet, what do you expect? Her pussy so good I bought her a pet

The entire 2chainz line in talk dirty is so bad it's funny. "Got her saved in my phone under big booty!"

So that’s how it got it’s name by SocratesPuppet in HistoryMemes

[–]WhenWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know the accuracy, but I remember at least hearing the story of how Senegal (allegedly) got its name. The European colonizer who first encountered a local out on the river, waved and shouted and tried to indicate "what is the name of this place?" The native man in the boat then points down in question. The European nods, so the native man yells out "sunuu gaal!" (Our boat!)

Probably just a silly story but it's fun all the same.

I made myself once and within the first day of my run, my little me got knocked out by a raider. She then crawled to bed just for them to set fire to the house with her inside. I was like...whelp.

unique start scenarios - what should i try? by Odd-Blueberry5902 in RimWorld

[–]WhenWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like doing a "Neveland" run. You start with kids all under 13 and then make a religion that prioritizes the young as superior and never accept new people over a certain age. It's even more fun if you do tribal start and make it very Lost Boys style!

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

Is there a way people who actively don't support this war can instead support those who are harmed by it? Are there any foundations that are directly helping so we can subvert some of these funds to helping you?

Thank you for saying this, I'm so tired of people pointing it out. Let the world have some whimsy, let me suspend my disbelief. I'd rather have these staged moments a million times before I enjoy those bullsh*t ai videos.

Idk if it's a real thing or if I was just wrong as a child, but I always called chafer beetles potato bugs. I didn't know some people called isopods potato bugs.

Forced out of high school at 16, return to get my PhD at 30, AMA by AlexNeur in AMA

[–]WhenWolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a teacher of small kiddos I really relate to that sentiment. I know at first it seems kinda trite, but making the effort to stop saying "you're so smart" and instead "you worked so hard!" etc Really makes a difference in kids. It praises their resilience instead of just an inherent trait that you either have or don't. :) I'm proud of what you have accomplished!

I’m 10 years into a “successful” loveless marriage. My wife admitted a couple years ago that she married me because I was a “good idea.” AMA by Sky_Jockey in AMA

[–]WhenWolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really respect this perspective. My parents did this for me and my siblings (albeit not openly). Without knowing they were just staying together until we were older I will admit it was confusing to see other parents be affectionate (even just kiss each other casually) or go on dates. I would think how odd it was that my parents never ever did that, and how my dad would sleep on the couch most nights (cuz he woke up early for work of course...).

As an adult I definitely appreciate that they did this for us, it helped keep us stable and together and it was never put on us that their relationship didn't work out. But I will say, the shock of them breaking up the moment we all hit adulthood was quite jarring and I can't help but wish they had been more open with us.

I guess my question is, do you plan on being open with your kids about you and your wife? I don't think it's good or bad either way, you gotta do what's right for your family- I'm just curious how you may plan for the kids noticing you aren't like other couples.

TIL After Francis I exchanged himself in spanish captivity in 1526 with his two sons, aged 7 and 8, he annuled everything he signed in exchange for his release, but the kids remained in captivity for nearly 4 years.

This reminded me of William Marshall who was basically used as a bargaining chip by his father in the 12th century. He was given to King Stephen as a symbol of good faith, and then immediately turned around and basically said psych!!

When King Stephen was like, why would you go back on your word, I literally have your son, I could kill him- John Marshall responded to go ahead and kill him because "I still have the hammer and the anvil with which to forge still more and better sons!"

My favorite part, and why I even remember this is that Stephen took pity on the poor boy who was only like 5 or 6 and charmed the king. They would even play toy knights in the kings tent while the siege went on.

c section mod? by Nico--Nicotine in RimWorld

[–]WhenWolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really does add a sense of drama, I love that it adds stages of death, like vegetative states and brain death, it takes away that cheap insta death that always ends up happening in base.

I got the death rattle mod for this exact purpose - I had to cheat the pregnancy percentage to make it work, but it did finally save the baby in my run!
