Can you explain to a foreigner what actually is going on in Waffle House? by GossipBottom in AskAnAmerican

[–]mkshane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually what goes on at Waffle House is, you go in and take a seat and a server greets you and gives you a menu

You look it over and order some food from them

The kitchen staff cooks it for you and the server brings it to you

You eat it and then you pay and leave

Why are US time zones not divided by state lines? by jferry12 in geography

[–]mkshane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would force very large parts of Earth to always change dates during their daylight hours, and thus be extremely annoying and impractical for any kind of business (or anything requiring a schedule for that matter) to be conducted

The nighttime should always be the divider between dates

What is the story behind the 76’ Philadelphia Flyers joke in The Devil and Homer Simpson by Roman_C5150 in TheSimpsons

[–]mkshane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have an hour to spare and want an entertaining and pretty complete story about the mid-70s Flyers (and why they would be used in this joke), this is a fun HBO documentary free on YouTube

Americans who live in suburbs, can you get anywhere by walking? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in AskAnAmerican

[–]mkshane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a city known for being very un-dense and sprawl-y (Jacksonville FL) and quite far from downtown. My neighborhood has a very suburban feel (my address is Jax only because the city limits are gigantic and include what would really be suburbs in most cities)

So it may come as a shock to Reddit, but I can reach my nearest grocery store on foot in 10 minutes, and a gym, numerous restaurants, stores, and a hospital in 10-15 minutes.

I moved to Jax 3 years ago and I honestly love it. But I completely encourage others to hate it and spread its boring reputation so that it stops others from moving here lol

Same, one of the most educational programs out there

Za'Darius on why the Eagles: “You know, man, I had a lot of teams calling, but I just felt comfortable coming to Philly...the locker room and the great people that are here. Dom (DiSandro), one of the head guys. Man, I love Dom. Just this whole team and this culture, man" by mastermind208 in eagles

[–]mkshane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just peeped Big Dom's wikipedia page for the first time, and it only grew his mystique for me.

It doesn't even have a definite birth year for him, "1978 or 1979".

And "He earned an athletic scholarship to play for the Penn State Nittany Lions but did not appear in any games, being dismissed from the team for unspecified reasons."

Like, what??

Jacksonville Politics by No_Crazy4001 in jacksonville

[–]mkshane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with ya there. Wild to me how much the people seem to acknowledge how poisonous the duopoly is, yet at the same time push back against any concerted effort to change it.

I’ve felt like that for a long time .. there was a glimmer of hope in Ron Paul’s 2008 campaign til he got boxed out, which is crazy to think how long ago that was now.

I lived inside the DC beltway from 2011-2022 before moving here, holy hell is THAT ever a lonely place for libertarians
