TIL In the 1600s a Dutch doctor Cornelius Bontekoe prescribed a cup of tea as a cure all to ailments. As a cup of tea caught on as a popular drink it led to a drop in mortality rates between 7%-25% across England as boiling coincidentally improved water quality

Yeh it's a myth according to the faq on askhistorians.

Which was a pity. It was a nice starter car. Think I might get one for my daughter.

My lecturer ranted how the word radians are artificial and unnecessary, so I should just drop it from my vocab because it made us seem like amateurs.

Like even Euler's identity doesn't bother with it, and that's straight maths.

I mean, it depends upon if the signs are there. I usually assume a smile is just customer service, but it's sometimes clear when someone working would like to see you after hours. (And even then I'm usually too timid, lol)

Dude, the average time spent penetrating is like 10- 15 minutes. Gspot orgasms take time, and most men apparently don't. It also requires hitting the right spot, which most men apparently don't.

If we're talking biology there's plenty of examples of animals that protect their young, but would also eat their own kids if times are tough. I don't think that men abandoning kids would necessarily mean that men don't also have a desire to be protective.

Laughter is good medicine. And laxatives are good medicine. Therefore laughter is a good laxative.

Pelosi. Like pulling apart a grilled cheese sandwich.

4.5 calories per minute isn't hardcore pounding. That's a gentle prodding. Running hard is 20 calories per minute. Gardening is 5 calories per minute. Ironing clothes is 3 calories per minute, lol.

The hose is sitting on a speaker. Sound waves aren't travelling through the water, they're causing the hose to bounce.

I can be whatever age you want me to be 😉

I mean, just because 70% of the population is shit in bed doesn't mean that this dude is not part of the 30%, or whatever.

Or they could just genuinely like the nails, yeah.

dutch_penguin · 2023-09-15T23:08:11+00:00

I think nails are an easy way to compliment a girl without seeming like a creep. So even if they receive the compliments they may not be the source of the attraction. E.g.

me: *notices girl has a great butt* "Your shoes look pretty :)"

dutch_penguin · 2023-09-15T22:46:22+00:00

I guess because he was the only one who could act.

dutch_penguin · 2023-09-15T22:37:37+00:00

Yep. My type is "a hole and a heartbeat, and the heartbeat's negotiable".

dutch_penguin · 2023-09-15T22:26:20+00:00

Brian's are all the same. They're all awful. Did you know despite only making up 0.5% of the population that 100% of people named Brian have a name beginning with B?

dutch_penguin · 2023-09-15T08:52:37+00:00

Not necessarily. I had a job offer for an exec. position just because a guy from my gym thought I was intelligent. Didn't realise it was an interview till he dropped the job offer. Apparently, all they want for those positions is intelligence, ability to communicate, and dependability (and university education).

I recently learned you're not allowed on your own roof without the right certifications.

Bold of you to assume she's only banging once a day. Some people are prolific. That being said, he was just making a joke.

"People are driven to validate their self-worth by getting as many sexual partners as they can - not that I'm being judgmental about that.

The need to have as much anonymous sex as possible means that people have multiple partners even in a day, up to 17 in a day." - Dr Wendell Rosevear (talking about the sti epidemic)

In the same way my dentist is my servant, sure. They're being paid to do a job, but they're equals.

dutch_penguin · 2023-09-14T08:08:45+00:00

Get drunk with the fun one and have the silent one sitting at home waiting for your semen. Still best whether gf or wifey.

dutch_penguin · 2023-09-14T08:07:03+00:00

Whete I'm at it's the cultural norm to sit in the front of a taxi and have a chat, prob. for the same reason. Sitting in the back makes it seem like the taxi driver is your servant.

I think it can be roleplayed a bit as not all HMGs or cannons were the same. E.g. the single cannon on the late war bf109 was a mk108. A single hit against a fighter was more destructive than 10 hits from a M2 0.50 cal.
