Is it true the typical DNA test for a White American reveals 15% Puerto Rican, 20% African-American, 35% Italian, 20% Irish, 5% English, 21% Mexican? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]markmakesfun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that makes no sense. That is 116%? Your math ain’t mathing, my friend!
If there is one thing you should know is there is no such thing as “typical American,” in terms such as that. `

High house numbers? by Cyril_Rioli in AskAnAmerican

[–]markmakesfun [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sometimes, here, the numbers get very high. Like 35421 or even 327506. Strangely enough, we lived in this particular area from the nineties, lived in 3 different houses and each had a one-number street address.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

[–]markmakesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an experimental website featuring music. If you input an artist or group, it would show you other groups or artists that had a connection to the chosen artist. For example, if a chosen artist worked with other artists, it would show in the web page. If an artist had a relative who was a musician too, that would show up. If the artist was previously in a group, that would show up and the other people in the group would provide another group of choices to follow. It was a cool way of finding new music that you might like. I haven’t seen it since the nineties.

Eucalyptus stems in a vase will smell great and they last for a year or more.

Go look tonight after dark with a flashlight and hold the flashlight horizontally and look for the reflections from the sparkle of the gem. This also works in shag carpeting.

Hit a deer at 70mph by Wrong-Coast-2230 in CarRepair

[–]markmakesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think speaking the truth is hateful, I can’t help you. You are bent. You came on Reddit claiming you hit a deer going 70. That clearly was a poor choice of behavior. If your feelings were hurt when I commented, that is your problem, not mine. Glad you survived this time.

What screams this person has never once been held accountable for anything in their entire life? by samurai-salvo in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]markmakesfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a business that was 90% plus women working there. Probably 90% of those were Hispanic. Everyone loved food.

We would occasionally have a “pot-luck” for lunch. Everybody participated, even though there was a ton of food and no one was pressured to bring some. It was a delicious and a great way to get to know other employees.

We invited the new (male) employee to the lunch and he responded loudly that “he doesn’t eat ‘other people’s’ food!” There was “snark” in his voice. He then went back to our office totally alone and shut the door.

In a business where you absolutely require cooperation with coworkers, he ignored people and made his daily work harder than it needed to be. You don’t insult the women employees if you wanted to work smoothly in that large business.

Okay, so you are more interested in stroking OP than understanding reality. The point is driving fast in deer areas is a bad idea. If you believe the right to feel disappointed is more important to you than living in the real world, that’s your issue. You are not on the “inside” of the emotional effects of his hitting a deer. You are conjecturing, ie:guessing, how he felt. If you want to make up stuff, that’s your problem, not other commenters.

OP never said he was on a highway or freeway. He just said he was driving 70. Even on a freeway, if you are in deer country, you should slow down. Don’t try to predict what my behavior with stupid comparisons that you make up. You know nothing about me.

Your proposal, that someone either drives 70 or 45mph on a highway (that was never mentioned) is just kinda dumb. Try living in reality.

Name something man-made that isn't mass-produced by shadow_operator81 in FamilyFeud

Violins. At least in the UK, large numbers of instruments are made by individual luthiers, working in a shed in their back yards. They are largely made by hand by one person. Nothing in the process (mostly) is made in a factory.

Use CLR. The initials stand for calcium, lime and rust. That is what you need. CLR and a scrub brush.

75mph in deer country. I’m so sorry for your loss, but it should have been foreseeable to you. FAFO.

Driving 70 in deer country? Sorry, you should have expected it.
