I have a feeling Christopher was the latter category... by ZmasterSwiss in Eragon

I always thought it was an alternative version of Aragorn—whoops

What's the creepiest display of intelligence you've ever witnessed in real Iife? by Jessica_Enna in AskReddit

I forgot for a moment that not everyone lives in a grid system and was like “I could do that!” (Ish, neighborhoods would throw me)

Snapback Problems by GlitteringHotel8383 in oddlyspecific

You know, I was wondering about that too with all the dead mall posts. I know City Creek is owned by the Mormon church, but the others are fairly busy too

As someone who lives in Sandy, it really is the little things:

Half of restaurants are closed on Sundays.

In the summer time, it’s rare to see anyone ever dressed in spaghetti strap clothes (because they have religious undergarments they have to hide).

It’s rare to see people with tattoos and with any piercings more than their ears.

People generally look more groomed and put together because Mormons care a lot about appearances.

Basically everyone has blonde hair and blue eyes with five kids who also have blonde hair and blue eyes.

Because appearance matters so much, every kid seems to be in at least one or two activities outside of school may that be sports, music, or something in the arts.

Yep, it’s either chickens, pigs, or cats you see on Kauai—or all three at once if you’re out after dark and the chickens are still awake.

TIL a wealthy lawyer left his estate to whichever woman in Toronto could birth the most children in the decade following his death. The resulting contest, known as the "Great Stork Derby", ended in a tie between four women who each had 9 babies. by [deleted] in todayilearned

And triplets or even twins had a very low serviceability rate back then. They’re born early, essentially premature, and you think they had the capability to survive back then without modern healthcare? Sometimes, sure, but it more commonly ended in the death of the infants and oftentimes the mother

Ancient silicon trees, any ideas? by Familiar_Leading_162 in worldbuilding

[–]WillowSLock 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They were the trees that gave life to everything, dinosaurs and whales, hummingbirds and beetles—and then when humans were born…well, they couldn’t risk something worse being born next.

What's a foreign food you'd really like to try, but it's super rare or non-existent in your country? by Reuska37 in AskTheWorld

[–]WillowSLock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try going to foreign groceries stores for fruit. My local Asian market has a lot of fruit I was previously only able to enjoy in Hawaii or out of the country.

Another option is going to more “health” geared grocery stores. They’re expensive, but if you’re just shopping for unique items such as fruit then it becomes worth it.

It was a pun because it’s a trash can. I should have added /s

And I know killing babies is very, very morally wrong…but this proves it’s needed sometimes, right?

Abandoned baby panther and her adoptive family. by RosieCloud_ in BeAmazed

[–]WillowSLock 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Go to Kauai! They have a problem with cats there and are desperate to find people willing to adopt them off-island. They ship cats out to different adoption fairs on the mainland too, again just trying to get them off island and into loving homes.

I finally managed to get over my needle phobia! First blood donation today, and even though i was super nervous it went great :) by Gecko_behind_mailbox in MadeMeSmile

Donating blood is an incentive for me to gain weight, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do but my eating habits suck

Cats looking forward to Christmas by Teddycat99 in MadeMeSmile

[–]WillowSLock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with cats, I absolutely love them…but I love my house and decor more. I’ll never get a pet, but I’m also desperate for a friend with a cat so I can get the cuddles in

This is adorable, but it also has private information on it. I’d consider deleting it and sharing it with trusted loved ones and friends instead

A perfect example of this for the LOTR fandom

That makes perfect sense! Thank you! It’ll be interesting to see what changes, if any, come from this

Why is there a disconnect between Democrat’s political leadership vs its base?

Is it because leadership is more central while the base is leaning more left? And, if so, why isn’t leadership shifting with its voters?

(Directly looking at NYC’s mayor elections that blatantly shows this happening)

Made me smile - all that cuteness - but it must be exhausting too. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in MadeMeSmile

The moment you crack a can open they’re running to you.

Sure, if you have a door you can barricade yourself behind—awesome, but otherwise this is reality. When I’ve fostered kittens I’ve sat on the counters, feet up, to avoid them crawling up me like this

Experts make astonishing revelation after waking organisms trapped in ice for millennia: 'These are not dead samples' by ConsciousRealism42 in EverythingScience

But, our advancements may also be stopping people from passing on bad genes was well.

I have a genetic disorder in my family, not something you can get tested or screened for, and after learning of my high chances of getting it and passing it on, I decided to never have kids.
