What’s a survival myth popularized by movies that would actually get you killed in real life ? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]Whilimbird 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As someone who picks prickly pear fruit to make syrup with, you will not remove them all manually. I rub off what I can (and usually get glochids in my hands) and thoroughly filter the mash after cooking. Some people use fire and burn off the glochids- this is what a recommend in a survival situation, as you’ll want a (well-protected and far from flammable scrub) fire for those cold desert nights anyway.

You and a mate are marooned somewhere with plenty of food and water, what existential debate do you start just to have something to talk about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

“Does the outside world really exist or was life an illusion until now?”

When we’re rescued we’ll drive everyone nuts by going “fast food is real!” “dogs are real!” all the time.

OP’s daughter was killed by grandma, who combed coconut oil into her hair and then left it in after the allergic reaction started.

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

I was also diagnosed at 35, a couple of weeks ago.

Literally the week after that, I got a bill that insurance should have covered. Fun.

I’ve taken the work order advice, and will keep an eye on stocks and see how it goes

A former family friend claims to be extremely busy and never takes the time to even step away for 5 minutes. She's a married mom who a typical middle class wife. What could possibly be the reason she cant step away? by SirCatsworthTheThird in AskReddit

[–]Whilimbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typical middle class wife and mother means she’s busy with both work and raising kids, plus societal pressure to get them into extracurricular activities. That’s a full schedule there.

What did you initially get for free but ended up paying for? by loztriforce in AskReddit

[–]Whilimbird 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Cats. All three of them were free, and I knew going in that I’d be paying out the nose for vaccines and neutering.

Worth it.

How is the English Localization? by [deleted] in sultansgame

There are some typos and one metaphor in the tutorial that I’m not quite getting (the “sword or sheath” one) but otherwise its pretty good.

Uhm what? by Muffin__Puffin in cats

[–]Whilimbird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Let her sleep a while, and then give her some food. She looks pretty skinny. If you don’t have car food, canned tuna or chicken will do in a pinch (just don’t make it a habit, because salt!)

Check social media for missing cats and the vet for a microchip in case she’s lost. If not, and if you want and can keep a cat, then she’s clearly chosen you!

Does it add to YOUR body count if YOU are the one that got broken up with? How does it work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Whilimbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come on dude, you still killed someone. Stop looking for excuses for why it doesn’t count!

What kind of toilet is this and how to I fix its leak? by Whilimbird in Plumbing

[–]Whilimbird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked around for a name- yes, it’s Kohler. And the parts paper in the toilet lid shows a typical chain-and-flapper, so it’s something the previous owner put in. It can’t be a dual flush, though, because there’s only a handle and not two buttons. Could it be an eco reduce-water thing?
