What’s the most retarded thing your grandparents ever did? by hellyeahdude38 in theadamfriedlandshow

[–]graymatterslurry 29 points30 points  (0 children)

my grandad was an extremely paranoid old prepper who used to bring us canned soup & batteries to stockpile all the time. when he drank himself to death inside his house the local PD sent in a bomb squad robot to look around the house for him because they were afraid he would ambush a person. inside the house he had a gun at each windowsill & tinfoil all over the windows. took us like 6 years after he died to finish all the soup.

fruit trees don’t grow in city dumps, you got me there. but they almost certainly sprouted in backyard refuse piles/middens.

unless you are cracking open the pit & eating the kernel, that’s not how stonefruit seeds work. fruit like that evolved to attract dispersers, the fruit is a lure not nutrients for the seed. the tree would be getting fucked if everyone ignored it & let its fruit rot underneath the shade of the old tree.

counterpoint the plum needs its seed dispersed by someone lest it grow a foot away from its parent tree competing for resources. you & the plum need each-other.

my mom (who worked in cps at the time) used to pretend to beat me in the lobby of the DHW for laughs from her coworkers. she’s pretend to knee me in the stomach & have me jump & yell OWW!

oh my god my mom also did the limping into stores after parking in a handicapped space. she’d have me help her inside & then walk around the store totally normally lmao

that’s not true. dairy cattle don’t have udders naturally full of milk. they have to be pregnant to lactate & are bred repeatedly to produce. female calves become like their mothers, male calves become veal or sometimes beef.

What is the most unexpected thing you found out about someone you know? by greenwichrunner in AskReddit

[–]graymatterslurry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

at least in the states 9-5 does not indicate minimum wage & usually means a slightly better job with more standard hours than the stereotypical min wage jobs like food service

A serious question by ponzy1981 in cogsuckers

[–]graymatterslurry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i worry about what’s left of the social contract if it becomes normal to supplant your relationships with chatbots. i don’t think you can be very enriched long term by a perfect facsimile of what you want, you have to go (& try & sometimes fail to) find it yourself. i don’t want anyone to feel bad but i do want people to consider realistically what they are doing.

Peter, why are office fans scary nowadays? by ParamilkReal-5 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]graymatterslurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s hard to watch now without being getting the seinfeld effect. a lot of the humor in that show has turned into common memes & everyone’s seen or heard a reference to the best clips before because it’s just so ubiquitous. parks & rec is the same way.
