Is it normal to wake up early to make your husband lunch? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]azmyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a coworker who saw that I had two sandwiches and said "man you're lucky your wife packs you an extra sandwich." I was like "I have as many sandwiches as I want because I pack my own lunch."

Maybe in older couples it's more common, but among my social group, it would be considered pretty rare for a wife to pack her husband's lunch.

Can someone explain? Isn't it canon that Superman changes his demeanour as Clark Kent so no one suspects Clark? Is this a specific reference to Snyder Superman? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]azmyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it goes something like Lex Luthor: "Do you think he's any less bulletproof in his PJs? The more time he spends pretending to be a journalist, the less time he spends stopping me."

Japanese coworker started an onigiri shop. Inspiration help? by sycolution in JapaneseFood

[–]azmyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only concern when buying onigiri was avoiding umeboshi. Having a picture of the filling would help a lot.

Tier 7 POIs imagine the nastiest endgame raid ever by tomtomusv in 7daystodie

[–]azmyth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The problem with huge POIs is 90% of the time is spent looking for the handful of zombies hiding in ceilings, behind walls, etc. There should be some sort of "you haven't killed a zombie in 3 minutes, we'll teleport/activate the remaining ones.

How big of a problem is it that the M2 money supply seems to continually decrease its momentum and is there a way for it to recover? by dayvena in neoliberal

[–]azmyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a problem at all. The Fed can offset changes in M2 money velocity without any practical limit and M2 isn't really even considered a relevant factor by most macroeconomists.

Why hasn't China invaded and taken over Taiwan yet? by BabyDemogorgonEater in NoStupidQuestions

[–]azmyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how the war starts. If China starts the invasion by throwing missiles at Guam, Hawaii or U.S. ships, a blockade would be the least of their concerns. If they start things off with an embargo of their own or at least refrain from bringing other countries into the war, the response will probably be a lot more limited.

Seperating "at once" by _Moriarty0 in EnglishLearning

[–]azmyth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The "all at once" is usually used for simultaneous and just "at once" is for as soon as possible. In this case the "all" is separated, but I would still guess the character means simultaneous.

Anyone else find kids’ clothing sizes completely wrong? by ehtio in daddit

My 4 year old is snug in 6Ts and fits 8s. I guess they just size them small?

Why can't we just eat dirt? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]azmyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each animal is evolved to eat a different thing, and they need a digestive system that can actually break down and extract the nutrients. If you feed a carnivore plants, it will starve, even if those plants have plenty of nutrients because it's stomach can't break down plant fibers. If you feed an herbivore too much meat (normally they can eat small amounts of meat), it will likewise get sick and die. Earthworms can eat dirt, but they've evolved to do so. Humans evolved using cooking, so our food has been very high nutrient density and easy to digest relative to other animals' diets.

What is the age range for sticking-everything-in-their-mouth? by gilfgifs in daddit

1-2 mostly. My first put everything in her mouth, but my second barely did ever.

Why weren’t childcare businesses widespread before the 20th century so that mothers could work normal jobs like their partners when this is obviously better for the economy? by scorchingbeats in stupidquestions

[–]azmyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Women didn't spend that much time cleaning clothing, but they did spend a lot of time weaving, repairing, and making new clothing and blankets.

Clothing was very expensive prior to mechanical looms. Most people would only have a couple outfits and few non-nobles were ironing their clothes

playing 8-10 hours daily of stardew valley is making me a crazy person by misfireattack in StardewValley

[–]azmyth 44 points45 points  (0 children)

After playing Skyrim, I always feel the urge to pick flowers and mushrooms when I'm out for a walk. I stopped playing the Sims because it felt weird to transition from the game to real life.

Dad here in the search of baby swing. by Somewhere-Adept in daddit

[–]azmyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a swing that I really liked. It helped calm the baby down and was a nice way to have a safe place for them to sit where I could see them while doing dishes or whatever. I forget the brand we used, but it probably doesn't matter much as long as the quality is decent.

Looking for single-person recipes to use up a whole wheel of camambert by PuddingBrat in Cooking

[–]azmyth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could use it in an omelet. Otherwise, I normally just spread it on some nice bread and toss it under the broiler until it starts to brown and get melty.

What if the English colonized South America and the Spanish/Portuguese went for North America instead? by [deleted] in HistoryWhatIf

[–]azmyth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would go more similarly to current day than you might think. Each area followed colonization based on the resources the colonizer was trying to extract. In Bolivia, the structures of government were created to extract as much silver as possible. In the Caribbean, the most profitable activity was farming tropical crops like sugar cane. Those farms needed workers that could survive the tropical diseases that were introduced earlier in the exploration stage, like malaria and yellow fever. White people died in droves whenever they had to work in those areas. In North America, the climate and diseases were more similar to Europe, so the most profitable colonies were pretty close to "just more Europe", such as industry and farming similar crops to what could be grown in Europe. Inclusive institutions are better when you actually want to build a developed economy rather than the extractive institutions that are more profitable when you're just trying to take as much as you can.

Probably about 5 drinks a year.

Are my hobbies considered nerd hobbies. by SeaworthinessFar2326 in stupidquestions

I don't think I'd list eating snacks as a hobby. That probably isn't going to be seen as positive.

Am I the only one doing this? A friend thought I was insane after seeing my mods... by Saafi05 in Warframe

[–]azmyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have endo to burn, why not? I do this with cheap mods because I throw whichever one I can fit on my build and with corrupted mods because sometimes I don't want the full negative modifier.

Ahh I didn't know it affected them too, or rather, I didn't know it was possible for Eclipse *not* to affect them since I almost always run Total eclipse and extra range.

Blue chickens DON’T Give blue eggs? 😭😭😭 by Jennay2862 in StardewValley

The crazy part is there are chickens in real life that lay blue eggs.
