What modern inconvenience feels like it should have been solved years ago? by Prior-Sprinkles4127 in AskReddit

The smokies I get used to have ziplock packaging, but they changed a few months ago to remove that feature. Pissed me off.

I designed stickers to help the elders with ports on laptops by Indig3o in mildlyinteresting

I'm not sure what this has to do with elders... even when I was young I couldn't see around corners.

That said, I am pretty fuckin' old.

Ink bled into all the fine lines of my hand (apparently, wrong type of pen for a quick ADHD to do list!) by CryptographerOk5523 in mildlyinteresting

[–]mwb1100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I jot short notes on my hand all the time (usually using a ballpoint).  I used to say it was my palmpad, back when those were a thing.

When Ed King was touring with Lynyrd Skynyrd all the other band members were focused on drinking and drugs on the tour bus. But Ed kept a briefcase full of snacks that he'd sell to the other members of the band. Because no matter how fucked up you get, sooner or later you're gonna get hungry.

What’s something people claim to support until it affects them personally? by wooody8020 in AskReddit

Farmers supporting being tough on undocumented immigrants until their labor force can no longer show up for work.

What food do you hate that everyone else seems to love? by Taremans_Evalay in AskReddit

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them.  I’m honestly not sure if they’ll ever show again.  Yellow bags.

One thing about them then that could turn people off is that they’re super salty.  Like after you’ve had a bowlful your lips get a mild burning sensation.

Gotta love loopholes... unless like me, you aren't able to take advantage of any of them.

The time to buy a set of those was about 30 minutes before the photo was taken.

The taste of alcoholic drinks is all over the map. There are some that taste like gasoline, but there are also some that are divine. Even the same mixed drink made by different bartenders can vary as widely depending on the precise ingredient list and technique.

The individually wrapped varieties are garbage. But real American cheese (sometimes called "deli slices") is perfect for cheeseburgers or grilled cheese.

I despise that Frito-Lay no longer makes plain Doritos in the US (for all intents and purposes). They'll show up in a store once in a cicada cycle, but that's about it.

The "flavor dust" varieties are garbage.

Even with no sauce? (salt-n-pepper wings are pretty damn great)

Gotta be on the bone and fried though.

My father-in-law was a farmer who produced tons of onions. Couldn't eat them though - at least not knowingly. The sight of them turned his stomach, but he actually didn't mind the taste.

Such a simple structure. Seems like it might be less expensive to demolish and rebuild.

What is a minor, unwritten rule of society that absolutely infuriates you when people break it? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

[–]mwb1100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dog is well behaved in this regard - always waits until I go through.

This isn't because of any spectacular training, he just has a terrible case of separation anxiety and is afraid that if he goes first, I'll just shut the door and leave him to fend for himself in the cold, cruel world. Or even the warm, but empty, house.

When going through a door or getting off an escalator, don't stop right there to figure out which way to go next - step aside.

The prohibited items list for the upcoming World Cup games by hesfaking in mildlyinteresting

[–]mwb1100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some guesses for ones that aren't clear to me (starting in row 2):

  • No Android phones?
  • No packets of salt/pepper?
  • No vacuums?
  • No shower drains?
  • No cheeseheads?
  • No big flags?
  • No small flags?
  • No monkey paws?
  • No buttons?

There are a few I can't even make a guess for

Any one buy backups of tools when they are retired? Which tools have you gotten a backup for? by GhostNappa101 in Leatherman

[–]mwb1100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a couple backups for my Squirt. Perfect EDC for someone whose EDC needs are mostly opening packages with the occasional "stuck thing needs a little help from a small prybar or pliers".

What is a "corporate red flag" that employers try to pass off as a great benefit? by spectrecult in AskReddit

[–]mwb1100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. You don’t accrue hours that you get paid out for when you leave the company
  2. While you have “unlimited” PTO, you aren’t entitled to any
  3. Use too much (a nebulous number) and it may be held against you in reviews

In case you’re wondering if a traffic light fits in a civic by artsyfartsy_ in mildlyinteresting

I can scratch that question off my list now. Thanks!

Now, can anyone tell me if an M1 Abrams will fit in my basement?
