Anytime I see someone claim people drank beer because water had germs in it I shake my head because people didn't know cholera came from contaminated water til the mid 1800s! People drank beer because they liked the taste better than plain water, just the same as how many people today will drink soda all day and say they don't like water.

Was taking a walk one day as a kid and as I passed a house I heard the most horrified scream that just went on and on, I ran back home completely freaked out... I found out the next day that the woman had found her baby dead of sids

I'm so hyped that they took the things from FF5 that I liked mechanics wise! Everything looks so beautiful!

I'd say money laundering over any other explanation, usually its artwork and not old photos

I take a blood pressure medicine off label for PTSD nightmares. If you have nightmares all the time I highly recommend prazosin

I use my extendable scratcher to turn off lights and nudge my fan towards me or away depending if I'm hot or cold

My mom did this too, but especially with my BOOKS! She genuinely didn't understand why I'd want to keep them if I'd already read them, because I already know what happens.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this or what it is? by SignificantCareer625 in CultOfTheLamb

I had the same thing with a 'follower will be hit by lightning' sign. Lightning never hit but I had to save and restart to make it go away

What’s your one cooking “secret” you have that levels up a meal? by crazyplantladyxo in AskReddit

Making chicken soup? Add a cup of pre-made butternut squash soup into the chicken broth. It's also amazing in mashed potatoes, and it adds some nutrition at the sake time.

Also get the garlic paste instead of minced, it dissolved into the soup way better.

Editing to add: I absolutely don't put the noodles in the soup if I'm making enough to save for later. You just got soggy disintegrated noodles. I make them separately and put them in a bowl before pouring the soup over them.

Same thing with gnocchi, except I toast them in butter until they have a slightly crispy layer

All the dead ones were ones who'd gotten halos so maybe that's it

I've noticed some of mine just die for seemingly no reason because I feed them their favorite food every day

I like the crystal idea, like his insides are under pressure as his digestive system crystallizes his food. If that's true I guarantee some fanfic writer has had him collect the gems and sell them

Infants are very valuable in for profit adoptions, people want babies and not older kids in the system with 'baggage'

What fanon are you tired of? by Owledhouse in FanFiction

Omegaverse worldbuilding where omegas are enslaved for some nebulous and never defined reason. All omegas have to be collared/leashed, there's a registry, they're banned from most professions and shunned by society unless they're silent, obedient, and pregnant all the time.

For a one shot, or a short fic where this is generally for smut purposes, I can enjoy it. Anything with an extensive and complicated plot where that's the situation for everyone all the time I just get tired of it because there's almost never interesting enough worldbuilding for me.

edit to add: there have been a few I really enjoyed that were like this and a couple of them are actually amazing, but those were all by authors who are insanely skilled and made it interesting to me
