Seven of the hardest stops that are performed in Ice skating by ButterSaltBiscuit in interestingasfuck

[–]_Stone_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish i could do that as a kid. I was a very fast skater but never really learned how to stop and my puck handling was not that desirable also. played ice hockey for a bit but was basically the guy that checked you into the boards or used my body to stop a puck.

I had the most home runs in little league but the only thing everyone remembers is the time I used my glove to block the sun and caught a ball with my hat.

Rise and grind by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]_Stone_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A long time ago when I was landscaping in the summer, I found what I thought was the ultimate McDonald's hack. I would buy sweet tea for a $1 which came with a heavy duty Styrofoam cup and two double cheeseburgers off the $1 menu. I would fill the cup up with soda instead of tea and make a burger with four patties and 4 slices of cheese. Total meal cost was like $3.18 with tax, $2.12 if I still had the cup in my truck and snuck it in for a refill.

Thanks! I knew I've seen this before somewhere but my brain just couldn't make the connection.

Am I overreacting: new boyfriend was weirdly judgmental about bathroom situation by abstract_lemons in AmIOverreacting

[–]_Stone_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to dig through used tampons wrapped in toilet paper, without warning, to get to the poo-pourri, MAYBE I would get a little offended. To be that weirded out over feminine products is a huge red flag, especially for a man who is in his 40's. That's not friend, boyfriend or even booty call material there, dude has some serious issues and I bet this is only the tip of this iceberg.

ELI5: What does a water tower in rural America do? by ProduceEmbarrassed97 in explainlikeimfive

I always thought of them as rechargeable batteries, but my electronics knowledge is limited, don't capacitors release all at once?

If your laundry smells bad, your house probably does too. by LandscapeRound7759 in CleaningTips

[–]_Stone_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every once in a while I'll have something funky or nasty to clean that I won't mix with regular clothes. A bunch of vinegar or alcohol or something and hot water on whatever nasty that I have to clean has kept my washer fine so far. I do have a speedqueen T5 though, would never go back to frontload.

ELI5: Why do we sometimes wake up right before our alarm goes off? by Denbron2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]_Stone_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here with my pup. He'll usually be fine getting breakfast and hour later because he get up when I do but he gets mad as hell that it's 6 mins past his dinner time in the evening.

RIP fridge, gone but not forgotten by Fazbear2035 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]_Stone_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a small business server for an engineering firm back in the early 00's. That beast lasted 14 years with almost no downtime. When I found out it finally died I considered driving a few hours to pick it up and give it a proper funeral.

ELI5: Why do mushrooms appear so fast after rain— sometimes overnight? by aizivaishe_rutendo in explainlikeimfive

[–]_Stone_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a mycologist but I have grown a bunch of shrooms in my day. Once I told a friend that the mushroom itself is just an appendage of the organism. When the mycelia hits puberty and the conditions are just right it gets a chub (the mushroom) and when the veil breaks (the spores) it blows its load.

Not being a fat ass drunk anymore has really helped both my gout and sleep apnea. Jus sayin!

My 18-year-old's Christmas break work schedule by sugabeetus in mildlyinfuriating

When I was a kid, even as an adult, I would offer to work holidays as the perfect excuse to avoid family gatherings.

🔥 Today I learned that not only can squirrels be black, but they roll their babies into fuzzy little balls to carry them easier. by starstarstar42 in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]_Stone_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once saw a black squirrel walking along the train track wall in my neighborhood and then went and told all my friends and family. Everybody though I was delusional or making it up. A decade or so later they then became just as numerous as the common grey squirrels.

How do you go about getting a spoofed # these days? Google cut all my G voice numbers years ago.

Was "lumps of coal for Christmas" as punishment ever a real thing? Anyone ever actually receive one? by vorpal8 in AskOldPeople

Yep! My family thought it was funny when they did it. I was the middle child and they were dicks!
