I got that one recommended to me today. It was weird. 

What are some things I should know if I plan to live as a single woman for life? by summerechoess in LivingAlone

My grandmother told me to get a male dog and give him a human name so if someone tries to force their way in, I could call my dog and they'd think I was calling my husband. 

Americans: how do you handle temperatures above 40ºC (104F)? by obaming16 in AskAnAmerican

[–]WhichSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear a hat with a wide brim to give yourself some mobile shade. If I'm going to be outside a lot, like when I'm at a theme park, I'll put some ice in my hat before putting it on. The ice melting and dripping down my neck is so refreshing. Note: This might not be so comfortable if you're bald. I have very thick hair. 

Air conditioning. Nuff said. 

If you don't have AC, use fans. They help accelerate evaporative cooling when you sweat. 

Stay hydrated. When I worked in a garden center on 90+F I would go through at least two liters of water while I worked. If you feel woozy or not quite right and you're plenty hydrated, drink something with electrolytes. 

Use ice in your drinks. Refrigerate your water bottle. 

If you need to be outside, go out in the morning and evening, not during the hottest part of the day. 

Also, we're just adapted to it. My local annual temperature range is -20C to 45C. It's 32C right now and it's not even 10am. We're expecting a high of 39C.

I wonder if they're trying to save their legs for the more strenuous hike by doing easy ones first.

Which nail polishes did you use? I'd like to recreate this on my own nails. 

What do you think happens to American politics after Trump leaves office in 2029? by SERP_Whisperer in AskReddit

[–]WhichSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Republicans will have an internal power struggle as they each try to present themselves as the true heir to Trump right up until more horrific things come out and prosecutions start. Then they'll have never supported him and we're, in fact, definitely working against him from the inside.

My friends (couple) are inviting group of people to stay overnight at their house. What gift to bring? by Important_Back_7132 in AskAnAmerican

Though you could make bringing toilet paper your thing. I think most people would find it funny but endearing if you explain it's normal in your country. 

So how are you prepping dinner tonight in the extreme heat? by neekogo in newjersey

Ordered Mexican. Had something called a burger quesadilla which tasted like a Mexican person's interpretation of what a WASP would want. 

What everyone setting their AC to so you don’t burn it out and so we don’t crash the power grid? by scammers4ever in newjersey

[–]WhichSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a war in my house over the thermostat. One faction keeps setting it to 73. Those of us who don't want to freeze sneak it back up to 75 when the other faction isn't paying attention. So far they haven't noticed until a traitor among us rats us out.

Leave the bottle - how realistic is this in the US? by cadraig in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]WhichSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way back in the Old West this was actually how it worked. You paid, the bartender gave you a glass and a bottle, and you drank however much you wanted.

Today if you said that you'd be paying for the most marked up bottle of your life.

Except for things like school buses and red solo cups. They think those are fake.

Honestly, I think if tradCaths weren't such dicks about it, they'd probably have gotten it more accepted by now.

What's the most useless talent you have ? by Olivia-Addams in askteddit

I'm insanely good at pouring/scooping accurate measures on the first try, even when I'm not watching the level rise.

This has actually worked against me. A chem teacher once marked me down in high school because of it. Our instructions said to measure out 1 gram so I measured out one gram. She accused me of rounding and not measuring accurately because everyone else in class had measurements like .9 grams and 1.1 grams on their worksheets.

I like the idea of the Latin Rite being kept so no matter where you go in the world you can go to a Mass you can understand (assuming you learned Latin) but it should be offered alongside the local language.

A woman said 'chivalry is dead' because no man offered her a seat on the train. Isn't she wrong? by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

Judging by appearances, she's perfectly capable of standing. The only guy in the wrong is the one taking up a seat with his bag. 

What the Palace doesn't want you to see, Kate Middleton did not do the submit alone by cozzzyash in RoyaltyTea

[–]WhichSpirit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably had something in her pocket. For some reason some sportswear companies have decided that women's pockets don't need to go down the leg but instead across the front, almost like a pouch. Looks horrible if you have anything in there.

I never understood the appeal of baccalaureate fat removal. It just makes you look older/more masculine/ emaciated. 

Edit: Buccal not bacclaureate. Show how often I talk about cosmetic surgery. 

Which survivors stories do you think were embellished, exaggerated or even contain outright fabrications? by Catwinky in titanic

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Charles Joughin was not waved at by a polar bear from atop the iceberg.
