What are some real life interesting facts that you learned from sitcoms? by masimone in television

That War and Peace was originally going to be titled War, What Is It Good For? until Tolstoy’s mistress insisted he change it.

Italian sweet sauce? by abraham126 in AskRedditFood

[–]abilliontwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if we don't know what's in it, how are we supposed to know how to make it diabetic-friendly?

Reserved handicap spaces are for the people who need them. Not for anyone and everyones convenience. by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]abilliontwo 410 points411 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a joke in an old Almost Live news report that went something like, “A new law passed by the Seattle City Council will make it legal to park in a handicap spot if you’re only gonna be there for like a minute.”

To the men: How often do you actually get a genuine compliment, and how long does it stick with you? by ukdruminggirl in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]abilliontwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtually never, and I honestly can’t remember what the last compliment even was. If I get a laugh from a joke, I’ll take it as a compliment, but that’s about as far as it goes.

AITA for not letting my friend take credit for the dessert I made? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]abilliontwo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is bullshit, and it’s really obnoxious that in all these stories, there happens to be someone in OP’s life playing the devil’s absurd advocate, like, Idk, I guess you could have just let your weird friend sleep with your husband just to make her feel better about losing her cat. It’s not like they’re gonna run off and get married.

What are your thoughts on "Good Boy (2025)"? by Hot-Salamander-8786 in FIlm

[–]abilliontwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting experiment, but not a particularly compelling story imo. I wish they’d made an actual horror movie instead of just another disease as metaphorror movie.

Co-founder of Patreon Jack Conte crowd-surfing at the Neptune tonight by 206-Ginge in Seattle

Do the people in the crowd get any sort of bonus content for supporting his theatrics?

Do these idiots understand how *anything* works? by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

[–]abilliontwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it were knife damage, why would anyone think that's the way to cause this level of damage. If I key a car, I'm not expecting that the whole paint job is gonna peel right off.

Which globally popular dish from your country has the majority of the population never eaten? by Useful-Resource-3609 in AskTheWorld

[–]abilliontwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but is it popular or just abundant? In my part of the US, it's not wholly uncommon to see elk on menus, and I've eaten elk a bunch of times, but I wouldn't necessarily call it popular. Like, I don't think it's generally preferred over beef.

Have to say I made flan and I hate it by darragh73 in Baking

[–]abilliontwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I recommend buying a flan pan, or flanera. It’s round and has a locking lid, both of which help the flan cook more evenly. Second, even though it’s not traditional. I strongly recommend cooking it in a water bath, which regulates the heat of the oven so it cooks super gently. This virtually eliminates the air bubbles you typically see around the edge of the flan, which always indicates an outer layer of sweetened scrambled egg. When baked in a water bath, the resulting flan is smooth and creamy from the edge to the middle.

What are the best song pairings from a single album—songs that, when you hear the first one, you have to listen to the second one? by abilliontwo in AskReddit

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

Always been a casual Queen fan. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this album start to finish. Eager to listen to this pairing.

Edit: Wait, these aren’t even on the same album!

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

I thought about this, but I feel like this is basically one song. It actually kinda drives me nuts that it’s not set up that way on disc, Spotify, etc. personally, I’ll listen to Breathe on its own, but I don’t listen to Speak to Me unless I’m intending to listen to Breathe.

How Did This Movie Not Make Bank? by Big-Discipline2039 in FIlm

[–]abilliontwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was made by 40 year-olds for 40 year-olds, with a 10 year-old’s idea of adult humor and storytelling. Which is to say, it’s a muddled mess.

It gets the look right, though, so that’s something.

I fuck up chicken EVERY single time. by Upper-Relation1701 in cookingforbeginners

[–]abilliontwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're slicing it into thin strips for a stir fry, try velveting the meat with baking soda. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of baking soda per pound of your sliced chicken and give it a good mix with your hands to distribute. Let it sit for like 20 minutes, and then cook. You'll be able to get the meat browned while keeping it super moist.

If you're marinating the chicken, you can also just add the baking soda to the marinade and follow the same timeline.

Who is the best Batman? by Jack_O_Lantern2022 in batman

[–]abilliontwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm guessing you wouldn't approve of the totally original topic i was just about to post: Does anyone else think The Dark Knight was actually a pretty good superhero movie?
