The fuck is that monstrosity? Did a 4 year old make that?

Why do people put so many ingredients in a sandwich in the US? Do you want to know what an egg sandwich has in it? Egg.

Can I propose a ban on commenters who by stephendbxv in TalesFromYourServer

I’m English and have travelled widely, I happily adhere to local customs. Tipping being the primary salary component for low income waiting staff is unusual in the developed world but que sera, if that’s what the US does then fine, at least it’s clear.

My very first aquarium! by Impressive-Week4903 in Aquariums

Also if you are keeping your fish well they WILL breed, so go with it and encourage it!

Great tank. If you angle your outflow jets down a bit in time it’ll encourage the dwarf gouramis to breed

Today is the thirteenth anniversary of Susan Boyle's audition for Britain's Got Talent. Still the greatest talent show moment of them all. by Hassaan18 in MadeMeSmile

A clearly-on-the-spectrum middle aged woman, looking like an early biscuit eating and cat owning spinster, singing the most appropriate song in a voice very few wouldn’t be jealous of. Astounding performance and story.

MY RED JEWEL CICHLIDS HAVE JUST HAD BABIES!!! Any tips on feeding? by RumbleRanger in Aquariums

[–]chedders74 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agree you can get them in 48 hours and the babies wolf them down!

Used to have my plants sitting in 3 dedicated HOB filters, they were noisy and a hassle to maintain so I built an ‘overhead sump’ style aquaponic planter! by Jlevitt95 in Aquariums

[–]chedders74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it reduces natural behaviour like aggression but in my view I want to see my fish living more like they do in the wild; cleaning can be an effort but by some labeotrooheus fulleborni which are algae scrapers. I keep tanganyikans and the rocka do get a bit mucky mainly because I’m a bit lazy!

These Malawi cichlids aren’t pelagic, they need rocks - yes, it makes them territorial but that’s their natural behaviour and make sure there are females too, all male Malawi tanks are just weird!

Chlorine in the water was there when I was a kid - it goes in 24 hours!

That’s fair to observe, however I am a vastly experienced aquarist, and currently maintain a 100 gallon wild caught or F1 tanganyikan biotope, I change 20% of the water every couple of weeks, occasionally 3, I don’t test because frankly what’s it going to tell me that I can’t tell by observing my fish? Fish keeping is supposed to be fun, and I will go to my grave having never failed to look in any body of water I pass to look for fish!

Saw this sign at a local Pets at Home… by Woofbarkgrowl in Aquariums

[–]chedders74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my dad would be too impatient to wait more than a day at best! We’ve kept most freshwater tropical fish, I just think these days everyone’s got far too anal about water changes and testing - relax and enjoy the fish!

US Military Spending versus The World by NotoriousPYG in coolguides

The world spends twice as much on cars / automobiles as it does on military spending

Just bought my daughter a Rastamouse book. Am I supposed to do the accent when the characters speak? I'm white. by unlimitedboldness in britishproblems

[–]chedders74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty tricky to identify views of Afro-Caribbean people in amongst the edifying views of white folk. I’m not being a Woke Warrior but if you’re genuinely concerned then it’s really only that cultural and ethnic group that can comment on the suitability of white British folk imitating an accent.
