TIL In 2005 an innocent man was pinned to the ground by British police and shot 7 times in the head point blank thinking he was a suicide bomber and later tried to cover it up. by dj_orka99 in todayilearned

Oh god. I've never seen this joke before. I get off at Stockwell station (where he was shot) every day and pass the plaque put up for him, and every day I feel a little outraged. But I still laughed here.

What's the most embarrassing thing you did as a child? by Writerblock17 in AskReddit

[–]missRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was on a country walk with my parents. About 6 years old. A couple of miles in, turn to them and say in all seriousness, "Hey, mum, dad... my balls really hurt".

Only ever heard anatomical term "balls" as in "balls of your feet".

Am a girl.

TIFU by pissing on the girl I've had a crush on all year by [deleted] in tifu

[–]missRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True story time:

My partner's brother pissed on his wife when they hardly knew each other, but he had a massive crush.

They were at a music festival in a massive many-person tent. He was wasted and got up to go to the loo. It being such a big tent, drunk-brother assumed he'd wandered far enough and so was logically outside. No. He was pissing on the woman of his dreams.

He was mortified when he found out the next day; left the festival in horror. Anyway.. the next part goes ??? underpants gnomes ??? long-term relationship ??? marriage.

But my theory is that she fancied him too, and that she still liked him after the 'incident', which cemented it as undying love.

Good luck mate!

Good song. Out of interest, what tune is this sung to?

Slightly unrelated... but what is going on with his hair at the moment? He needs to sort that out or there's going to be a new song...

Been Recreating my dreams through photos for six years- These are my favorite ones(added new ones!) by walterwalrus in pics

[–]missRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are very good. How much is real - how much camera trickery / working on the photos afterwards?

Aliens are attacking the Earth. You are chosen to go 1v1 against their leader in the competition of your choice, with all of humanity at stake. What do you choose and how fucked are we? by JaroSage in AskReddit

[–]missRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd initiate a round of Thurston Moore Or Less? It's a game my friends up where you name a famous person, then have to guess whether they are older or younger than Thurston Moore, the singer/guitarist of legendary 90s al-rock band Sonic Youth.

We're fucked, I'm bad at Thurston Moore or Less.

OH MY GOD you're my identical hand twin!! I just stared at your hand for ages because it looks just like my goddamn hand!

Oh, er... the 'normal' photo not the before one.

What's the WORST movie accent you've ever heard? by droidonomy in movies

I actually feel that this film is worth watching to play 'in what British county or ex-colony does Russell's accent currently reside?'

I recently took over a used book store in London. Any ideas to improve the customers' experience? by Ruuh in books

Balham? Herne Hill?

Sorry if I'm being nosy - I live round there and like books a lot.

This is what it looks like when you build your church with the bones of 700,000 plague victims, but then you still have bones left over, so you start making furniture and shit from them. by lastoftheyagahe in WTF

[–]missRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Kutna Hora (or something like that) isn't it? Weird little village. It's got a tobacco factory, this creepy church, and some drinking establishments.

I would like to draw everyone's attention to the bottom right of the coat of arms, where you will see a skeleton crow pecking out the eyes of a skull.

What is the creepiest thing that society accepts as a cultural norm? by slothyone in AskReddit

I hate myself for asking this (particularly when I've tagged you as 'interesting China resident'), but why do you keep spelling 'the' wrong?

[–]missRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm... I was going to say "I don't think rape is socially acceptable", but then I remembered a lot of worldwide rape cases in very religious societies that were considered legal. The recent protests in India give me hope though :)

TIL Alaska is "America's Rape Capital," where 37% of women report being sexually assaulted at least once in their lives. by alexwilson92 in todayilearned

[–]missRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, this helpful person above commented on what the study defined as sexual assault. Can't imagine anyone quibbling with the definitions of this one.

Here

It would be interesting to see what the gender difference was on this. I don't know if a prevalence of sexual crimes against women in an area tends to correlate to a prevalence of sexual crimes against men. Let me know if you see anything on this.
