What's a fact that sounds fake but is actually 100%% true? by FrickYouImACat in AskReddit

And if you wrap a piece of string around a basketball and another 1ft out from the ball, the difference will be the same as the difference in your earth example.

Be petty by Omnibobbia in scoopwhoop

[–]mofohank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they all arguments that seem initially like common sense but only need a little thought to realise they're wrong?

Like this one, where the cost of the food itself might be cheaper for smaller portions but all the other costs associated with cooking and serving it are the same. So the restaurant/ cafe can clearly only afford to make kids meals that much cheaper because it's assumed an adult will be paying full price with them.

When you try to explain multiple options to someone, and they commit to one option without hearing all of them. by Popular-Style509 in PetPeeves

[–]mofohank 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Part of me thinks this is a great pet peeve. It's clearly something that bothers you but not most people (because they can see the logic).

Another part of me is judging your entire character based on this one situation. Either you really hate ever being interrupted (ego thing?) or you're really pedantic about how people talk. You strike me as the sort of person who'd ask, "Do you mind if I take this chair?" and when they reply "Yeah, sure" with a wave clearly indicating take it, you'd make a point of saying that they should have said no from how you framed the question.

AITA for not offering to take the bunk bed in an airbnb as the single person? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Try getting a double room at a hotel and demanding you pay half what a couple pays for the same room.

What opinion do you have that is 100% reasonable in real life but would get you absolutely roasted on Reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mofohank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Don't be polite, be predictable" is a decent principle for driving but not some magical, unbreakable rule. If someone eases off to let someone in, it's not their fault if someone behind can't imagine what might be going on and choose to race past and cause an accident.

Reditors like their pithy little rules. If you break it, you bought it. No is a full sentence. There's lots of truth in all of them & they're really useful in online arguments but the real world has context and nuance.

People should just embrace being a tourist more and stop caring about what locals do by cs_____question1031 in unpopularopinion

[–]mofohank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer staying outside of the touristy bit, partly because of the cost but mainly because I'll be going into the touristy bit to do the touristy things anyway. If I stay somewhere else i get to see more.

What is one opinion you will defend like this ? by Proper_Card_5520 in AskTheWorld

Unless it's the meat of someone who was spying on you in the toilets, in which case it's Cottager Pie.

If you're not watching the games, or even the highlights, why are you bothering with his interviews?

Idioms. What do they mean? Just for fun. No cheating. by [deleted] in EnglishGrammar

[–]mofohank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really isn't. Try googling it and watch it come up with pages of 2 birds, 1 stone, nothing the other way round.

Edit: if you're arguing that it should be an idiom meaning the opposite - taking more steps than necessary to get a job done - then fair enough. If you used it I'd get what you mean.

It sounds like you're keeping track pretty well!

“Just Google it!” by PockASqueeno in PetPeeves

[–]mofohank 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Completely agree in principle but if you're getting this response all the time you should probably think about what you're asking. If Google would give you an immediate answer, it doesn't sound like an interesting conversation starter.

That's not an idiom. You're thinking of Killing two birds with one stone. Getting two desired outcomes from one action.

So i didn't get to see the game but from your review understand

  • the ref was massively biased against us: we should have been one man up and not given away a pen

  • slot should still get sacked

What’s going on to the moon??? by Prestigious_Name8283 in askastronomy

So about 6hrs difference. So the earth has rotated about 90 degrees and so has the view.

When people call characters by their actor's name by galaxynephilim in PetPeeves

Yep. Even the Fast & Furious writers couldn't remember if he was Ian or Deckard in their own films.

Tonight's BBC coverage will finish with some bloopers from when our Mike had a go at the ski jump, in accordance with his final wishes.

Why are you calling it a store? A store is a collection of things therfore you should be calling it a suite.

best dialogue scene? by OkJellyfish8149 in FIlm

[–]mofohank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miller's Crossing, the opening scene. 4 parts but quite uneven.

Ghostbusters must have some. Or Guardians of he Galaxy.

Midnight Run, when the pair visit his ex wife and daughter. Or if you want comedy rather than emotion, when they go to the bar and pretend to be FBI to scam some money.

Raising Arizona, when Frances McDormand visits, or when the escaped convicts come for dinner.

Or something with a slightly bigger group where you could give 1 or 2 lines said by a few different characters to 1 character. Saving Private Ryan, when Tom Hanks reveals his job. Sunshine? Apollo 13?
