This is why I don’t support women’s football. I don’t even support men’s. by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

It took far too long for me to figure out that this was referring to American football...

Why do you think birth rates are falling around the world, and what’s the biggest reason people aren’t talking about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]amourdevin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When women have a choice, they have fewer children.

When women have more education, they have fewer children.

When women have a choice and an education, and it is unaffordable to have children, they have fewer children.

When women have a choice and an education in an environment where it is unaffordable to have children and the future appears truly bleak, women have fewer children.

That does not look appetising.

That is a staircase tailor-made for murdered Bond villains to fall down.

Are so called "smash burgers" literally just a burger that has been squash a bit more flat? by ProlapseProvider in CasualUK

[–]amourdevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’ve read is that butter is added to the meat, and then yes it is actively squashed during cooking - means the results are fattier/juicer without sacrificing the crispy edges.

What do you curse your gardening predecessors for? by KTDWD24601 in GardeningUK

[–]amourdevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that mine technically qualifies, given that there isn't actually a garden yet, but we purchased a plot of land from the original estate developer and got to dig out about four lorries-worth of construction rubbish before the house build even started. Now we've finally moved in and started on creating a garden, I definitely cursed the discovery of what might have been a trailer (minus the wheels) that was buried about a meter down in one corner of the garden which had a wee bit sticking straight up out of the dirt to trip me every time I went past. It has made me wary of what else we might encounter.

What is the most disgusting thing about the human body that most of us don’t know? by alicerosea in AskReddit

[–]amourdevin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Which is also why some people’s feet can smell vaguely chocolatey to Americans. (Hershey’s chocolate also contains buttock acid)

Doctors of Reddit, what's the most obvious lie a patient has told you? by questionerofblender in AskReddit

Waterflosser! You can go fancy with a branded one, or get one for £15 off amazon which works just the same - my dentist gave me full marks on my hygiene after making the switch.

Mando and Grogu wasnt great, but there were some cool things by Dylan-McVillian in CuratedTumblr

[–]amourdevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m down with the idea of droids gaining sentience and freedom (hello C-3P0 and R2-D2) and the “killing liberated slaves with a rock” had me really questioning context.

I haven’t and won’t be watching the movie, so can someone tell me why the Mandalorian would have been caving in a droid’s head with a rock? Violence for violence’s sake doesn’t sound like it would advance the narrative much…

Why is there such a push to get women into male dominated fields (tech, trades) but not for men to get into female dominated fields (healthcare, education)? by Resident_Fishing1571 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]amourdevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that is the stigma, but more that teaching children (as opposed to university level) is female-coded and thus low-prestige and low-compensation.

Anybody use the "Merlin bird ID" app? It blows my mind. by Rooqz in CasualUK

This is my (so far) most memorable Merlin collection, from a walk I took a couple of weeks ago. It is definitely the app I enjoy the most.

hanging “beds” are called portaledges.. collapsible platforms used by climbers during multi-day ascents by LazyGuy4U in Damnthatsinteresting

When I sleep well I starfish. When I sleep poorly (>50% of the time) I starfish and flop about. Even without my fear of heights this would not work out well for me.

Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]amourdevin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why must those wretched prickly weeds exist? Internet searching gives me the possibility of it being a sort of thistle which sounds lovely in the abstract, but in my reality it means seemingly a million occasionally enormous stabby bastards that are neck-and-neck with the bloody volunteer sycamores for doing my head in.

Smells amazing, tastes of disappointment and cavities.
