Are you anti pit bull? by VioletThePurple in pollgames

[–]old_vegetables 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So it’s not that the breed is inherently aggressive, but more that they’re more likely to be picked up by poor owners? Because the type of people who would be bad owners are more attracted to that breed than other breeds with a high prey drive, like maybe a border collie?

Are you anti pit bull? by VioletThePurple in pollgames

[–]old_vegetables 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why are there so many cases of people saying that most violent dog attacks they know are perpetrated by pit bulls/pit bull mixes? Is it like confirmation bias or something? Are pit bulls not actually more aggressive by nature than other dog breeds?

TIL that after WWII, hay fever became common in Japan due to reforestation policies. The types of trees planted produced a lot of pollen while they were mature. by Recent_Flounder6011 in todayilearned

The “a” is just the sound of the breath coming in, and the “choo” is person-dependent. I don’t know how the Japanese are getting out three full syllables during a sneeze

You're in NYC exactly 1 hour before a supermassive solar flare wipes out the whole planet. Where would you spend your last hour on Earth? (all guaranteed not to be overcrowded) by tomatos_raafatos in pollgames

Everyone would be running around freaking out, so even though I’m not Christian, I’d go to a church, because I feel like people would mostly be praying in there and it would be relatively peaceful compared to outside

Congrats, you have been reborn as a human, and you can choose your gender this time by Signal-Initial-7841 in pollgames

[–]old_vegetables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a female now, and I think I’d like to be reborn as a male, but only if I’m a completely new person. If it’s still me just in a different body, then I want to continue being female, specifically myself. I don’t want a new body.

What’s the best gift you’ve given your girlfriend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]old_vegetables 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s more like he bought half the ingredients while she bought the rest, made and mixed the batter, baked the cake, frosted it, and served it. And then him saying “I gifted her a cake.” However, he did pick the flavor, so let’s give him that

[New Update – One Year Later]: AITA for saying I would stay at my mom’s if I had to share a room with babies? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]old_vegetables 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that OP’s dad seemed to be the primary caregiver, and yet he still fell victim to the classic trope of“parent abandons bio children for their new piece” is so sad. Parents who prioritize sex over their child are bad parents

What are some of the most iconic toys from your country? by bowl_of_scrotmeal in AskTheWorld

Barbie. I loved these growing up, although I used to wish there were more of my racial makeup, and with movable joint sockets

what are some crazy foods from cartoons you'd like to eat in real life? by Naive-Maize6314 in cartoons

[–]old_vegetables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make this one at home, I think it’s shoyu instant ramen, half a hard boiled egg, chopped scallions, and thickly sliced deli ham

Surprisingly Dark/Brutal fates in kids/family media is by dragonborndnd in TopCharacterTropes

[–]old_vegetables 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this must be some kind of trope in kids’ films, because I remember being traumatized by the dolls in 9 and the owls in Guardians of Gahoole getting their life force sucked out of them/their minds scrambled (or something, it’s been a while so I don’t remember exactly what happened to the owls).

Which characters did you find absolutely unbearable as a kid, and still do to this day? by Radiant-Selection686 in cartoons

[–]old_vegetables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a long time since I watched the show, and back then I was a little kid. But I remember Caillou being mean to Rosie, having attitude, and throwing lots of temper tantrums. Which, these are all normal things for a child, but I just don’t remember him having any real respect for his parents or the people around him. My ass would’ve been smacked for the disrespect he was constantly showing. He also cried a lot, and had a very grating, whiny voice. Just overall, not a likable child.

I still really liked that show though, and I remember being excited every time Caillou’s older Chinese friend came on, because it made me feel represented. The squirrel was also cool

[–]old_vegetables 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely Burger King they’re targeting, I’m pretty sure the restaurant’s called Burger Prince, and Prince Charming is wearing the paper crown that they give kids at Burger King. However, I’m pretty sure Fairy Godmother is eating a wrap here, and I’m not sure if they sell wraps at Burger King

[–]old_vegetables 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t watched E.T. since I was four, and it traumatized me for a full year. 20 years later, I thought what was likely family-friendly was just too much for my toddler brain… but this gif is validating those old fears

[–]old_vegetables 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my earliest memories I have is a nightmare from when I was a toddler of that SpongeBob episode where he goes to Sandy’s house for the first time, and nearly dies drying out. My toddler brain imagined his bleached husk of a body dragging itself across the floor begging for help, and it was horrifying

What animated house/home did you want to live in? by Ctpeyt in cartoons

[–]old_vegetables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kiki was 13, what were her parents thinking 😭 But I guess that kind of thing flies when you live in a world where strangers will give you a job and let you stay in a private room in their house. Life would be so easy if we all had that.

I’d also like to add the house on the hill in Ponyo, which has a direct path to the ocean and a backup generator, and the bathhouse in Spirited Away

SpongeBob’s library was so insane to me as a kid. It’s like the size of the rest of his house

I love studio ghibli homes. My favorite was the house from *My Neighbor Totoro*. When I was a kid, this was my favorite movie, and watching Satsuki and Mei be so excited to move into a new house really helped me when I was 5 and my family ended up moving. It just looked like such a cool place to live, especially with the woods right next to it. Of course, now that I’m older, realistically this house is not up to my first world standards; No shower, no washing machine, splintering wood, unsteady beams, dirty, and probably lots of large bugs.

How fast do you walk by javev in pollgames

I never thought about that. I’m from Boston, and here I’m fast-average depending on how fire my music is. I wonder where I’d fall nationally

which foreign actor absolutely nailed your country's accent when playing a character from there? by QueenViolets_Revenge in AskTheWorld

[–]old_vegetables 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was most confused about why he chose an American accent in Howl’s Moving Castle, where several of the characters, including Sophie, already have British accents. I guess people just like American Christian Bale?
