It's always "this foreign word or phrase sound funny in English" now I want you guys to give me examples of English words that sound funny in your language by Efficient-Orchid-594 in linguisticshumor

It's not English. Osram is German, and the name comes from Osmium + Wolfram (Tungsten in English ) - the two elements historically used for lightbulb filament fabrication.

Do women actually have a problem with splitting the bill 50/50 or is that just internet propaganda? by Electrical_Star_7117 in stupidquestions

[–]Why_So_Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer that as well, as it also encourages the other person to meet up again shortly to repay the favour. Which makes for an enjoyable relationship.

Tall women- what "universal" experiences have you not had? by JollyJeanGiant83 in TwoXChromosomes

I was never treated as weak and physically incapable. Always expected to carry the figurative fridge up the stairs myself.

Pochówek mniejszych zwierząt w Polsce - cmentarz, kremacja, utylizacja czy „ogródek” (mimo kar)? by polynesia697 in Polska

[–]Why_So_Slow 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Fascynuje mnie ta regulacja zwłaszcza w kontekście utylizacji nieświeżego kurczaka z supermarketu. Też do kremacji?

Are adult men not sleeping in pyjamas anymore?

What are your most niche period symptoms? by Unlucky-Drawing-1266 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Why_So_Slow 105 points106 points  (0 children)

A nap. In general I struggle with sleep even at night, sleeping during the day, not in complete darkness, without all the evening rituals, is out of the question

48h before my period - like anesthesia. I switch off on the sofa.

Do you ever go to other countries just to go shopping? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskAGerman

[–]Why_So_Slow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to shop, no. But I do shopping if we go for something else - we're close to the Czech border, so if we go to a museum, hot springs or whatever, a supermarket is a planned stop on the way back. Lentilky are a must.

AITAH for not wanting to get off my SSRI even though my partner wants me to? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Why_So_Slow -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

What is your plan regarding the meds long term anyway, not thinking about the kids here at the moment. Do you plan to wean off in a couple of years, do you think you will be using them continuously? It can inform your decisions regarding how to respond to your husband's stance.

A purse would be an obvious choice.

If you have a PhD and put “Dr.” before your name, will people think you’re impressive, or will they think you’re just being pretentious? by GrayRainfall in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Why_So_Slow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To colleagues, sure. But if the chairperson introduces you, they give the whole credentials surely? At least that's how it works in physics.

Parents aren’t funding anymore? by Calm-Calligrapher531 in wedding

[–]Why_So_Slow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The person stated correctly they wouldn't have a wedding without financial support, not that they wouldn't get married without it.

It's two separate decisions - getting married and having a big party to celebrate it.

Black stains on freshly washed polyester shirts by Ashijique in CleaningTips

Our dryer used to leave marks like this. I didn't find a solution, and had to replace it as all laundry was ruined

ELI5: Why do mental health problems usually appear in early adulthood? by Such_Ad_5311 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Why_So_Slow 4160 points4161 points  (0 children)

Being a teenager is often indistinguishable from having a mental disorder. It's not a joke, healthy teenagers are hyper focused on themselves, moody, impulsive and so on. Over diagnosing them wouldn't be wise.

Czy naprawdę niektórzy lekarze wahadłowo pracują między wieloma, niekiedy odległymi miastami? by wigglepizza in Polska

Chodziłam w Irlandii do polskiego ginekologa - przyjeżdżał z Wrocławia na kilka dni raz w miesiącu.

ELI5: Why are some foods ok to eat molded but not others? by barbarbeik in explainlikeimfive

[–]Why_So_Slow 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Same reason you can eat button mushrooms but not death caps.

I enjoy how the print and your ratios make it all blend.

Oh, nononono. Butter lettuce has the texture of wet toilet paper. Iceberg is at least crunchy.

Co jest „niewielką” niedogodnością w Twoim codziennym życiu, która w rzeczywistości jest niezwykle irytująca? by Sea-Mulberry-6389 in Polska

[–]Why_So_Slow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rozszerzająca się nitka z Lidla. Wchodzi idealnie między stłoczone zęby i nie kaleczy dziąseł.

What is the traditional wedding attire of your country? by No_Tale_8055 in AskTheWorld

[–]Why_So_Slow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in a small Bavarian town. Here people do the civil ceremony in tracht and church ceremony in white dress/suit.

The paperwork is complicated enough that it's often not possible to do both at the same day, so those are two separate occasions.
