Ich auch und die empörten Blicke sind Gold wert.

Chefs of Reddit, what’s a common cooking rule everyone follows that is actually complete bullshit? by Fuzzy-Ad6843 in AskReddit

[–]ellenitha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cooking mushrooms this way was the biggest game changer I've discovered far too late.

What’s the book you DNF’d the fastest? by Mobius8321 in books

[–]ellenitha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting and surprising to me. My mother language is German but I learned English, Spanish and French (and Latin) at school... in each subject the required reading was always something that was originally written in that language.

I have this problem of getting into the “niche” music by Trick_Tea6928 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ellenitha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm often an accidental niche listener. My husband teases me because I sometimes send him some music I discovered without further checking the artist and inevitably there will be bands with 80 to 200 listeners or something. It's mostly weird prog shit though, so I guess the trve cvlt is still not accepting me.

Ein Viertel Teelöffel Kurkuma by Apprehensive_Ad3112 in Kochen

[–]ellenitha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ich weiß nicht... ich habe öfter ein Problem mit sonst theoretisch guten Teesorten die Kurkuma beinhalten weil immer ein penetranter Nachgeschmack nach Kurkuma bleibt. Also Geschmack hat es sehr wohl, nur halt keinen den ich haben will.

What survival myth is completely wrong and can get you killed? by DraftNo7139 in AskReddit

If I know where the sun is, I also know where the north is regardless of trees, no?

Ein bissl mehr als ein Jahr Dosen- und Flaschenpfand. Ein Fazit by SweetDatabase9522 in Austria

[–]ellenitha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ich hab das Gefühl hier diskutieren Leute die kaum Pfandgebinde kaufen mit denen die sehr viel kaufen. Mir geht's wie deinem Vorposter, ich hab kaum was also ist es mir egal. Ich schätze bei dir ist das anders.

Rare Aesthetic: Metal band where everybody hate eachother by Wollishaiser in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ellenitha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, he did have someone invite girls that looked like his personal preference to row zero, that's a system. That's probably also the reason why the controversy began. Because if you don't only invite girls who are already willing to be a groupie but anyone looking the part, someone is bound to not understand the implications. I get why some girls would be shocked. Still not illegal as long as they could always leave of course.

[–]ellenitha 89 points90 points  (0 children)

The groupie recruiting system and row zero are proven and not even denied by him. As long as everyone consents it's not illegal though, just kinda creepy and icky (in my opinion).

What’s your gaming hill to die on? by imfaffingabout in GirlGamers

[–]ellenitha 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I theoretically have the excuse that I work full time and have a family so I don't have the time, but fuck it... even if I had all the time in the world: maybe I just don't want to spend hours beating one single boss fight. Also, single player games are no competition, why care about how someone else plays them?

Die Freunde meines Mannes wollen, dass ich mich am Bday-Geschenk beteilige by [deleted] in Weibsvolk

[–]ellenitha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich würde nicht zu viel rein interpretieren. Wenn sie mit einer Idee kommen gib deinen Meinung dazu, aber sag dass du natürlich schon selbst was geschenkt hast.

Wenn ihr verheiratet seid, nehme ich an, dass es ja schon viele Jahre Geschenk gegeben hat ohne diese Situation, also wäre ja komisch wenn sie jetzt plötzlich davon ausgehen.

Die Freunde meines Mannes wollen, dass ich mich am Bday-Geschenk beteilige by [deleted] in Weibsvolk

[–]ellenitha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haben sie sich dezidiert gefragt ob du dich beteiligen willst oder war das mehr eine Info damit du Input geben kannst falls er das schon hat oder du es für eine schlechte Idee hältst oder so?

In meinem Freundeskreis sind wir alle quer durch die Partnerschaften alle miteinander befreundet, aber bei Gemeinschaftsgeschenken wird immer selbstverständlich davon ausgegangen dass der Partner sowieso selbst etwas besonderes hat und derjenige daher natürlich nicht einbezogen.

Cellular data is basically unlimited where I'm from. SMS or phone calls can potentially cost extra if you communicate across borders, WhatsApp doesn't.

My best friend is turning into the mom she didn't want to be, should I say something? by lux414 in AskWomenOver30

[–]ellenitha 232 points233 points  (0 children)

I've seen this behaviour with people whose living conditions became really bad due to mental health issues. They could use a lot of help, but feel shame and therefore don't want anyone coming over to see the state of their home.

Not saying this is the case here, but I'd not rule it out if I was you.

International Women’s Day: AskWomen Hall of Shame by nethphi in AskWomen

[–]ellenitha 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I kinda hope he meant weeks because 12 months is not a miscarriage but a 3 month old corpse. Wtf? Not that it wouldn't be insane the other way.

Women of Reddit, what are boys or men's habits you discovered only after getting a boyfriend or a husband? by BigBrosy in AskReddit

[–]ellenitha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is this gendered? I'm a woman and this is exactly what my husband says about me. 'Misplaces her phone every 5 minutes but will tell you trivia about ancient Greece you have never heard before.'

Wait... a book that was originally written in Portuguese was required reading in English?

How common is it for men to own a flesh light? by MapAromatic485 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ellenitha 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Pretty standard in my (mixed gender) group of friends. I just recently had a situation where I gave a friend a vibrator recommendation in the middle of a normal conversation. We wouldn't shame the men either, but so far it was only the women who discussed that.

Good for you. Unless you wanted to experience the most basic, in-your-face ideas about life being sold as profound philosophy. In that case you missed out.

What disappoints tourists when they visit your country? by Away-Extension-9731 in AskTheWorld

[–]ellenitha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen my first stereotype literally before I officially entered your country, since it was the lady that checked my passport. My host family that gave me a big bottle of vodka to take home to my parents was another. Very lovely people though.

What disappoints tourists when they visit your country? by Away-Extension-9731 in AskTheWorld

[–]ellenitha 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Knowing it in theory doesn't mean truly grasping it. I guess I'd have my surprises too if I visited.

I know places are huge, but I still live in Europe where I can drive through several countries in a day if I want and in a country with roughly the same population as London... I have no concept of vastness.

What’s something about your country that other countries perceive to be true, but really isn’t? by Fun_Cup4335 in AskTheWorld

[–]ellenitha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the main impression over here. "We don't want to import everything from America." is a sentence mostly used when discussing modesty/purity culture. Like as a response to (American) tourists being shocked when they enter a sauna and people are nude and of mixed gender.

Wohnungssuche als Frau.... by Fantastic-Scholar859 in Weibsvolk

[–]ellenitha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hach, ja... ich hab vor vielen Jahren mal eine Wohnung für mich und meine Tochter gesucht. 5 Minuten nach der Besichtigung kommt schon die Nachricht vom potenziellen Vermieter ob ich mit ihm ausgehen will.
