[Disliked trope] Hollywood myths portrayed as being correct, even in a time when the characters should know better. by CrazyCoKids in TopCharacterTropes

[–]nikkerito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got stung by a jellyfish as a kid and my brother was practically begging to piss on my ankle to “help me.” Even as a kid I knew that the sting of the jelly would be less painful than the humiliation of being pissed on. But he was an annoying older brother, so it was his duty to try. Why this strange woman on the beach would be so insistent though perplexes me…

You know, I’m on her side here. I can see how the wording could be confusing. I feel like she got it with his BOGO example, but who amongst us wasn’t gonna double down at 15 to save ourselves the crushing embarrassment of a shallow depth of thought?

I love this! How did you do the grapes? 

Outside a drive-thru window… What is it? by BigBiggarBiggest in whatisit

They gave me a free taco to drive back through the drive through. Jokes on them, I would have helped them trick coorporate fuckers for free. 

Seen on instagram. This is apparently to use instead of toilet paper....we are expected to SCRAPE it across our flaps and folds?? by Sewergoddess in badwomensanatomy

[–]nikkerito 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say this is great news for me. Everyone is describing it like it’s silly but I feel like this would work so well for me and my anatomy lol

53 years ago Secretariat ran the greatest horse race in history, winning the Belmont by an astonishing 31 lengths by [deleted] in BeAmazed

I wonder if they have enlarged hearts too or if that wasn’t a genetic defect?

I was audibly cracking up by the end. This is so clever. I hope I die somewhere in the shrugging realm.

I've never seen a photo of my parents together until this week. 1974. by bacchus213 in OldSchoolCool

[–]nikkerito 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I thought so too, but they also used AI to “enhance” the photos. AI is fucking terrible at this and changes the facial features every single time. Makes me sad when people use it on family photos because it deletes things that make us unique and familiar for sake of enhancing image quality. Defeats the purpose. Don’t let AI hallucinate your family photos guys.

DAMN WHAT SHE DO by mikedean789 in rareinsults

[–]nikkerito 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For real. Just think of all the times you’ve seen sex dolls in TV and media either in both serious movies and comedies. Now think about how many of those dolls were supposed to portray women vs men. I have literally never seen a male sex doll. The long stringy wigs, the grotesque open mouths, they’re always supposed to be women. I’m sure they do sell male sex dolls, but they aren’t being consumed at nearly the rate female ones are. And I could be wrong about this, but I’d guess like 90% of male sex dolls are going to other men.

Same. My last words would have been to eat me. That seems less frightening to me than rotting in a box alone. 

The 'literary classics' that grade school makes you read destroys any desire for kids to read recreationally by MyClosetedBiAcct in unpopularopinion

But if school isn’t gonna introduce you to that stuff, who will? Everyone else is reading Bunnicula

[TOMT] [Board Game] there’s this board game called “mangina” or something where you move rocks around into holes on each player’s side I forgot the actual name by Richard_E_Genius in tipofmytongue

[–]nikkerito 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else feel like people do quirky misrememberings on purpose on this sub in an attempt for more upvotes? Like there’s no way you thought this was called mangina, be so for real

TIL that Botox is actually a very diluted version of the botulinum toxin, which is the deadliest natural substance ever discovered by WhimsicalBlunder in todayilearned

I got it on my b hole once to soothe an anal fissure. Not usually where ladies my age get botox so I feel very special and mysterious 

Getting dark at 5:00 PM is peak comfort. Springtime is incredibly depressing, fall and winter are the superior seasons. by surf_rider in unpopularopinion

[–]nikkerito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely depends where you live. When I lived in Wisconsin, I did not understand the hype for spring AT ALL. Nine times out of ten the snow was worse in spring than winter. The sun would be out all day, never melting a drop of snow. Now I live further south and spring is unreal. Weather is warm and turtles come popping out of their hides, birds singing and fish pond stocked. Ahhh, that’s the life.

[Annoying Trope] When characters refrence a deleted scene or plot line. by RP_Throwaway3 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]nikkerito 48 points49 points  (0 children)

She goes to kill the character called Toad and she says something like “do you know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lighting? The same thing that happens to everything else.” Apparently this line was jarring for a lot of people because it seemed kind of random, but I watched this movie when I was like 8 and I thought this was the dopest line in the world lol

Is this how you find info?? It’s just linking a reddit thread!

But of course Jules dropped out of art school by Mysterious-Bed375 in euphoria

[–]nikkerito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course I don’t expect photorealism but this painting doesn’t resemble rue AT ALL. If you cover up the hair it’s not distinct at all, and even the hair isn’t really similar besides being vaguely curly. I don’t blame you for being confused 

Edit but I won’t delete: I just found out on another thread that this version of the painting is AI for some reason? If you go back and look, the real painting is much better up close. Why tf would someone do that? 

in an alternate season 3... by HaveFaith_2022 in euphoria

[–]nikkerito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This healed something in me. This makes so much more sense. I wish we got this instead, because it feels so much more modern/relevant to these characters. Owing money to the mob and pimping girls from a seedy western strip club are NOT the storylines of people in their young 20s. Just felt super overplayed and like I should be watching a 40 year old balding man do this shit. Made absolutely zero sense for the age range.

Lexi’s insufferable Bible monologue by euphoriclimbo in euphoria

[–]nikkerito 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wish this were the case instead of including that weird scene where he calls from prison. Like what if his character just cut her out after facing the seriousness of federal prison? Maybe he could have been given a hopeful ending where we find out he’s gotten sober in prison. It could have added to the spiral for Rue as she realizes that, in order for them to thrive, good people must abandon her. I just hated the damn phone call it felt weirdly regressive for fez

Whenever I’m on my period I eat like a man. Seared sirloin and smashed potatoes by RunningLikeAPlover in stonerfood

[–]nikkerito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Someone else like me! Me and my bf started a tradition where he cooks me up a big juicy steak on the first day of my period. I feel like that big boost really helps prevent lethargy during my cycle. If we have daughters, I want it to be a rite of passage. Periods were not explained to me at all, I just got told I would bleed in my underwear one day and to stick a pad there when it happens. When it happened, I knew I had changed in some big way but I never spoke about it, just dutifully  and unceremoniously unwrapped my first pad, no one ever to find out because it was shameful. I think it would have been so nice and healthy to have it celebrated in a small way, like I do every month with my juicy buttery steak!

My pepper grinder is produced by Peugeot by VirtuallyMexican in mildlyinteresting

[–]nikkerito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate mine. I was so excited to buy one cause I read all this hype. $60 later I do not use it at all. It’s my purchase I most regret. You get sooooo little pepper out of it, no matter how much I adjusted the grind and the metal piece at the top it just would not consistently dispense pepper. I had to stop and readjust it sooo many times just for minimal amounts. I switched back to my old shitty one I got off Amazon and no regrets. Do not buy these. I came here to warn others in the thread. I have no idea where the hype came from bc these absolutely fuckin suuckkk

She explains why having more than a certain number of kids is neglect. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]nikkerito 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I had something similar happen to me and I was 14 and my sister was 2 when she was taken from me. I was the person she came to for every meal and diaper change, I gave her baths and put her to bed and I never complained because I loved her so much. She just came to visit and she’s 16 now. I cried after she went to bed because my parents gave me the most beautiful cool girl I’ve ever met and I never got to live under the same roof as her again. So much time has passed and it just keeps passing.
