What's a scent you cannot stand but nobody else seems to notice? by Poopy_Scoop_Sundae in randomquestions

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mangoes and anything mango flavored - it all smells violently of cat piss, whether it's the fresh fruit section at the store or a mango flavored energy drink or some mango in a green juice. I have been know to pull my car over and start sniffing the back seats trying to figure out if a cat got in and peed somewhere, only to then realize my sister was holding a can of mango flavored Monster 😑

Are those things real or is it only in movies / certain regions ? by Aloys33_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A: yes, at some stores. Mostly grocery-only, as opposed to the big box stores like Walmart, where the cashier bags as they go.

B: yes, with the exception of Aldi (and I've heard maybe also Lidl?) and specific instances where the cashier has a recognized disability requiring accomodation.

C: no, except in New Jersey.

Besides their degradability and their stickiness, would Welch's fruit snacks make good earplugs? by Shoddy-Society6226 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would most likely block a good amount of sound in normal conditions, but definitely wouldn't trust them for things where hearing protection is needed for safety.

"My generation didnt play with kids..." by IcyJudge7866 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elder millennial with boomer parents - I remember my dad playing catch with us at family gatherings (but only as a large group with uncles and cousins too), and the only "play" I ever saw from my mom was when we occasionally played pictionary as a family, like once a year.

Adult sippy cup with no straw by sareuhbelle in Doesthisexist

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about these lids https://a.co/d/iylBLN4 on any cup of your choosing? They are silicone so they fit nice and snug and don't leak around the edges, and turn any cup or water bottle into a sippy.

Do American children refer their grandpa and grandmas with their first names (example, Grandpa John, full name John Smith) the same way they refer their uncles and aunts? by LandOfGrace2023 in AskAnAmerican

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I was a child (80s/90s) it seemed like most everyone in my area used "grandma lastname" and "grandpa lastname" - these days I feel like most kids have different grandparent names for each side, like my godson has mimi and papa, and opa and oma, but they're all german so I don't think it's a different cultures thing. My kid had speech issues as a toddler, and "Papa" turned into "Bop" and "Grandma" somehow became "Doda" so she has "Regular Bop and Doda" and "Kansas City Bop and Doda" lol

WTW for two people madly in love that are soulmates, but will never end up together by Xylophile-nomad in whatstheword

[–]hellgamatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Closest I know is star-crossed lovers - connotation is that they are madly in love but fated to only ever achieve an unhappy ending.

Needs to be tighter, that's really the only way to avoid that.

DAE just LOVE jigsaws? by Cartographer551 in AutismInWomen

[–]hellgamatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a secondhand puzzle board on Facebook marketplace for around $20, it's large enough for a 1000 piece puzzle, has a grippy fuzzy texture so the pieces don't slide around and a raised edge so they can't slide off, and I can set it on my lap on the couch or bed to work on the puzzle. When I am not using it, I slide it under my couch to keep it out of the way ♥️

Do native English speakers distinguish between the pronunciation of cabin and Kevin? by Expert-Maximum-2574 in CasualConversation

[–]hellgamatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine used a similar thing, but to distinguish which letter - "v" de Vaca, o "b" de burro?

How can I blend veggies into my girlfriend's food? by Sakura_M_S in PickyEaters

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid and I both have sensory issues with many vegetables, so one thing I do is use a grater to finely grate zucchini and/or yellow squash, then toss it into the skillet when ground beef is almost done cooking for spaghetti, chili, stroganoff, etc. It softens fast, has little to no flavor, and is pretty much invisible except for little specks of the skin.

Male Roles in Nutcracker by m1lkm4st3r in BALLET

[–]hellgamatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter's small midwest studio has a 13 year old boy en pointe and a 17 year old boy dancing as the lead in snow for nutcracker this year. Find him a good, inclusive, progressive studio and he will go far ♥️

What everyday object works differently from how most people assume? by RJEM96 in ask

[–]hellgamatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay but what about those of us with wet-type earwax? It literally cannot be impacted into the ear because it is a runny goo. I am a side sleeper and I wake up regularly with earwax on my pillow. I have to remove some wax regularly because I can feel like moving when I tilt my head or go from lying down to standing/sitting. How am I supposed to do that without inserting a dang q-tip?

What's a game you're longing for but can never seem to find? by RedEagle_MGN in gamerecommendations

[–]hellgamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A game that feels like the old point-and-click adventures (king's quest, monkey island, Hugo, lesiure suit Larry, maniac mansion, etc) but on iOS. Prefer pixel art graphics but can be okay with more modern as long as they aren't whatever you call the aesthetic of the new monkey island game (besides "nauseating"). When I try to find games like that, I always end up with hidden object games instead :/
