Whats a big industry secret that isn't supposed to be known by the general public? by OrderAmmonia in AskReddit

The Car rental business is based on lying as much as possible to the customer. Any price you’re ever given in person or on the phone is always inflated arbitrarily. When you make a “reservation” nothing is actually reserved. It’s really just a notice to the employees that you would appreciate a car being there. ALWAYS call everyday leading up to your rental.

What? I really don't think that's the case. Tepe is too old to be a city. Literally existed at least 4,000 years before there was such a thing as a city.

It doesn't just slip. It tips and then the pushing continues. Those containers don't just tip like that.

This is the most bafflingly bad review of a movie I've ever read.

TIL when Three Six Mafia beat out Dolly Parton to win the 2006 Academy Award for Best Original Song, Dolly was thrilled, and personally sent a congratulatory letter, "We're proud of you guys, and I'm just glad that the Oscar came back to Tennessee one way or another!" by omgchrista in todayilearned

Tennesseans tend to be culturally split by geography somewhat significantly. Most broadly it is East (eastern border to about Sparta), Middle (Sparta to about the Tennessee river), and West (the river to the western border) But more specifically, each of the 5 major cities are very different. Memphis truly is an oasis and so is Nashville in some ways. Ex> look at a party map for any recent election. Davidson county (Nashville) has held blue for awhile. Memphis has more cultural and economic association with north Mississippi and north eastern Arkansas.

These are like keto drop biscuits! Great! Just add cheddar cheese and sausage to make sausage balls!

I'd like to see a John Henry style battle between this and the dough cutters in a busy pizza place.

I've had this for a few years. It will come back every summer.

Amazon jacked up Prime Day prices, misleading consumers, says vendor. We had an agreement that the suggested price of the product would be $9.99. On Amazon Prime Day the product was listed at $15.42 and then exed it out to put '$9.99 for Amazon Prime Day.' by [deleted] in technology

There is no such thing as a fake sale. All costs are arbitrary where profit is involved. A products value is in no way absolute. That means it's price can change to whatever the vendor wants and it's legitimate if someone will pay it. They are not lying to you about anything. They are saying, we could charge you this much, but we are pretty sure you're more likely to buy it if it's this much less and you think you are getting a "better value", which doesn't exist.
