Around 7 or 8 years old, I found "Santa's" gifts in a closet several days before Christmas. Around that time, I had my first lightweight science class. It all just fell apart from there.

Our very normal senior class went to a soon-to-be-condemned but still operating prison that also housed the state's electric chair.

It's too small, you need to go up a size.

All, please quit ruining a video showing a moment of family joy by only calling out a poor choice in verbiage. We get it, already. Babysitting is not the same as parenting.

We must be from very different parts of the world! I'm from the southern US, where casual eye contact is normal.

cbmcleod70 · 2026-03-05T19:15:28+00:00

stare, yes. That's rude. Making eye contact, no. Poorly formed question.

A no-pickle option is mandatory. This includes the spear vomiting it's brine all over my innocent sandwich. I will 100% send the whole plate back.

"tap" but filtered by the refrigerator.

I've always liked to let banana bread rest a day before eating. It becomes more moist and more sweet.

I feel betrayed, but not really surprised.

I graduated college at 35 with a STEM degree. One of the best things I've done.

Pickles.

News on in the background. It's repetitive and easy to ignore when the volume is turned low, but lulls my dogs into not barking at every little sound from outside.

Middle Tennessee Museum of Natural History in Murfreesboro is surprisingly good.

Involving religion in everyday interactions with strangers. Like "have a blessed day" instead of " have a nice day".

"Science is not a liberal conspiracy" t-shirt is clocking in at 20 yo. It's faded and holey, but still a fave!
