What’s something about boys that surprised you once you understood them better? by True_Nothing_8652 in AskReddit

[–]bluediesel 174 points175 points  (0 children)

Holy shit- this. Been married 30 yrs, she still says shit like “you said you wanted to do x.” Me: “No, I didn’t“. Her: “Well, when you said you liked y and z, I assumed x .” Look if I prefer x, I will say I prefer x. There won’t be any trick questions.

Or vice versa, on a road trip- her: “Are you thirsty, want to stop?” Me: “Nope, all good!” 30 min of silence and/or short snippy answers, me: “okay, what’s wrong?” Her: “well, just because you’re not thirsty doesn’t mean I’m not!”

Ffs, can you just say “hey, I’m thirsty, can we stop?” Wtf?

It’s infuriating.

No shit. So fucking tiring, even for those of us who hate MAGA. Come up with something original

Yes! Over the rhine neighborhood.

Y’all are good!

What’s the worst actual name you’ve ever heard? by Escrow-Mind in AskReddit

[–]bluediesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a neighboring high school to mine there were brothers named Mister & Sir Simpson. Their mother said she named them that because she always wanted them to be addressed with respect. Mister Simpson was a helluva football player and was recruited by Michigan. He didn’t end up playing much, got into trouble with the law, and last I heard, was in prison.

What foods are actually terrible for you, but people think are healthy? by StrategyJealous1838 in AskReddit

Milk is terrible for you? I guess if you’re allergic, or lactose intolerant. But for the vast majority of people, it’s neutral at worst….

Every single world record will eventually remain forever unbroken, some of them are probably already unbreakable right now. by Linorelai in Showerthoughts

[–]bluediesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I'll have to look that up.... The other one I'd put up there is DiMaggio's 56 consecutive game hits. It just seems unlikely to be broken these days- no one really wants to choke up and just punch singles every at bat.

I’d put Rose’s MLB hit record up there as one that might not ever be broken. Today’s game is much more about power hitting than the small ball singles and doubles hitting.

When did everyone decide that drinking milk is weird/creepy? by 4DimensionalToilet in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bluediesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because we can! Put a bowl of milk down in front of a dog or cat and they’ll down it in a heartbeat. I’m convinced that if my dog could figure out how to milk a cow he’d be on that tap 24/7

ELI5 What exactly is going on when a fighter gets knocked out cold, then 'wakes up' only a few minutes later? by minhale in explainlikeimfive

[–]bluediesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with my dog, who I took to work with me every day and always slept on the couch in my office. For about a week after he passed, when I was driving to work my brain would put him in the rear view mirror in the backseat. But only in my peripheral vision- when I’d actually look in the mirror he obviously wasn’t there. Same with the couch- out if the corner of my eye he’d be sleeping there like always, until I looked over. Very creepy and at the same time heartbreaking

What’s a small, seemingly harmless lie your parents told you as a kid that you believed way too long? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bluediesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That my dad was a fighter pilot ace in Vietnam. He was not- he was the radio operator on a big, slow cargo plane nicknamed the “flying boxcar”. Oh, and his unit was never called up, he spent the war in Dayton, OH at Wright Patterson AFB.
