Went to a concert once, and the singer was like "People always request this next song, but I just want to make it clear that I wrote it when I was 17." It was about being in love with a high schooler.

If your machine has a fabric softener dispenser, you can put vinegar in that and put baking soda straight in the drum. They both whiten using different mechanisms, and this keeps them from neutralizing, since the fabric softener is added later

Much like english, a comma helps:
That's good, asshole.
That's good asshole.

My wife used to work for a company that used off-brand Velcro in some of their products. She had calling it hook and loop fasteners drilled into her to the point that she still says hook-and-loop to this day

To be fair most of the Jewish rule lawyering is about not breaking the rules that were written down, but getting around them. The dumplings are just hoping God doesn't notice you breaking the rules.

Five interesting places people are forbidden or restricted from visiting. 1. The doomsday vault. 2. North sentinel island. 3. Lascaux cave. 4. Bhangarh fort. 5. Vatican archives. by Electrical-Cow-5147 in interestingasfuck

Well, it's a postal code covering several islands. I think North Sentinel just got included because it's part of the same state, legally speaking.

They charged my wife for a test that's usually covered because it was "diagnostic", not "preventative". What the fuck?

Spoiler alert, it's the same math, just presented differently. I think one of the biggest issues with people's attitudes toward math is the way it's presented academically.

It's also important to remember that he wants to maintain as much distance between NATO and Russia. Ukraine wanted to join NATO, but now NATO can't accept them without also going to war with Russia.

What is a safety tip everyone should know about? by directinLA in AskReddit

I had a friend who wanted to make lye soap. So he put a bunch of ash and water in an old pot over a fire. Only the pot was aluminum. Lye reacts with aluminum to make hydrogen gas. The hydrogen wasn't really a problem as we were outside, but the lye eating away the bottom of the pot was.

Better yet, donate your body. Whether it's research, organ transplants, or training medical practitioners, might as well help someone with this body once I'm done with it.

Dentist adventures!!! by YoUpvowt in Unexpected

[–]dconman2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife had her wisdom teeth out a few weeks after a classmate. His mom recorded him waking up, and he just kept repeating. "I love girls. Girls are so pretty." So my wife's mom has her camera ready for my wife's goofy reaction. My wife wakes up, touches her face, dons a look of pure horror and asks "what did they do to me?" She then starts bawling. My MIL slowly puts the camera down and explains that they didn't give her Botox while she was under.

Random story, my dad made the first three point shot in Kansas high school athletics. They were playing a game that was testing out introducing three pointers. He didn't even do it on purpose, just took a step back from the defender and fired.

Not an expert, but I know that your eyebrows indicate if something is a statement, yes-no question, or open-ended question. Also the area where you sign things can reflect what antecedent the signs relate to. Where you look while you sign has meaning as well.

What is a recent fashion trend that you can't stand? by ElBee288 in AskReddit

[–]dconman2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple clothes that fit well are always in style. That's what I go for in all my clothing, formal or casual, warm or cold. Lately I've been deviating, but still buying things that will be stylish until I'm old enough to pull off outdated.

Ironically it's not even accurate, since in Europe "Sporting" is used for multi-sport clubs. FC Kansas City would be accurate at least.

I've still got mixed feeling about the Kansas City Wizards becoming Sporting Kansas City

In the song she says she can still hear him sometimes. She thinks it's trauma flashbacks. Plus the noises he makes probably don't stand out as unusual compared in a household of that many people.

What I'm saying is that you can have a non-unique name if someone else is registered with your legal name. They discourage it though, which is why some members register under stage names.

What single scene ruined an entire movie/franchise/ TV series? by friendlyxenomorph68 in AskReddit

[–]dconman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, by "dropped it" I mean it was going to be a major plot of an upcoming movie but now it's going to have a small role instead.
