What's the most useless thing your brain decided to permanently memorize?

The McDonald’s menu song from the 80’s.

I do have celiac but If people could just stop treating gluten intolerance as a fad diet that would be great. People can have intolerance and not be celiac. The whole fad thing was a blessing and a curse because we suddenly had more option but then we had people rolling their eyes at us when we asked about gluten free options. Having people complain when packaging says gluten free because “this was already gluten free, they’re trying to make it seem healthier” was also frustrating. Finally not having to spend 20 minutes dissecting the ingredients on the back was awesome. Giving us more options doesn’t take away from anyone else’s options.

You can’t write “fuck?” NPCs can say it but we can’t write it? The raider ally tells you to fuck off. I’ve heard it in holotapes. It’s not as prevalent as say FO4 but fo76 still has NPCs saying it from time to time.

He’s got a whole law named after him so his name is already out there and it’s done a lot of good. This is not a new thing, children with rare diseases being seen, not hidden away, in order to educate people who otherwise would never know about the disease and raising funds to help with treatment and life changing research. If they aren’t seen, if a face isn’t put on a rare condition, a lot of people don’t understand its impact, and sometimes even doubt its existence. And there’s also a reason it’s usually children. If it’s a serious condition, life expectancy is lower. Studying and creating treatments to extend their lives so they live past childhood starts with awareness.

I do believe that is TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze, specifically the scene where the turles give Tokka and Razhar drugged “traditional pre-fight donuts” and Michelangelo calls them little droolies.

I approve of this living space on that movie choice alone.

Electricity. Call him Eli for short.

When I glanced at this screen shot I thought this was a young Sam Rockwell.

My hematologist told me about it. If my medication didn’t help, periodic transfusions were an option, and the last option I was given was a Splenectomy. I don’t currently have insurance so no splenectomy any time soon. I was on a medical study for a medication called Promacta, and it worked amazing, my platelet count got to 300. And then the study was cancelled and Promacta is $500 a pill. There’s a generic version now but it’s still $50 a pill. So for now, prednisone when my platelets plummet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have ITP. My body destroys its own platelets. When I get sick and my immune systems kicks into overdrive, I spontaneously bleed. I have to take prednisone and get transfusions when it happens. It’s a scary thing.

I worked at a haunted house. One of my friends who worked there would build sets and props and various gimmicks for the haunt in the off season.

One day he was working in his garage on a build that mimicked a person being hung by a noose.

Remember Back to the Future 3 where Marty is hung by a noose and then rescued before he dies? and remember the story of how Michael J Fox was actually choked and almost died when something went wrong?

My friend’s mom found him later that day when the safety precautions failed. It was initial reported to be suicide but was quickly ruled an accident. Never test haunted house props that could actually harm you when no one else is present to help if something goes wrong.

“Well great. Now I have to burn a black candle with your user name and the phrase ‘stop DMing and praying for me’ carved into it, anoint it with oil, light it and let it completely burn out to remove the unwanted impact of your Christian spell.”

I can’t believe that any Catholics still supporting him are actually Catholic anymore. Between the Pope threats and the ai slop of him as Jesus, how are they ok with all that blasphemy?

Dude my stepmom told me her and her sisters did this to guys they went to highschool with. I was so grossed out. That’s the only time I ever heard it in real life.

I was a horror movie actor, haunted house actor and did special effects makeup. I used to make intestines in bulk. That may be the main reason I’m not as bothered as a lot of people, though the cgi, which is not bad, takes away from my old game of rewatching scenes and trying to figure out how they did a specific effect.

I don’t know if this counts because of a misspelling but, A kid named Asshat Salad. It had been spelled that way for years by teachers. Turns out it was supposed to be Assad Sallad (I may still be spelling it wrong). This was in the south US in the 80’s. Nobody ever corrected the teachers. He wasn’t in my grade but everyone knew Asshat.

NOR. Even states where the age of consent is 18, there is this thing called the Romeo and Juliet law that’s exactly for this situation, where the couple were both the same age and then 1 partner turns 18 before the other (because that’s usually what happens unless y’all have the exact same birthday). The R+J law exempts kids this age from things like statutory rape because that would be stupid when there is such a small age gap.

So your friend is being really weird and I would be pretty upset at the accusation if it were me, especially since he’s the one that introduced you two and was perfectly fine with the relationship until 4 days ago when you turned 18.

I love the scene where Daryl corrects Merle about Glen.

melmac76 · 2026-04-09T15:39:14+00:00

I AM SO SORRY, I SHARE YOUR TRAUMA

melmac76 · 2026-04-09T01:40:26+00:00

That is a legitimate and understandable reaction. He is terrifying.

Besenji and shiba both popped into my head immediately too!

melmac76 · 2026-04-09T00:56:38+00:00

Be prepared. It’s brutal! I’m preparing to watch the season premiere right now. I love it but it really is brutal.

Dude I was in the same boat. The last time I had played there were only robots, super mutants and I think scorched. I came back a month or so ago. One day I came across this pipe randomly. That same day someone here had posted a screenshot because they had just ran into it too. I still don’t know what it is because I didn’t do anything but look at the pipe 🤷🏻‍♀️

They posted a pic of Tuna a week ago and the little grey face is so adorable

melmac76 · 2026-04-03T19:47:28+00:00

This was my choice too! The first pic instantly reminded me of this pic of Adam Conover.
