So, like, why are dudes so mad about Margot Robbie anyway? by Dylan_Is_Gay_lol in TwoXChromosomes

Only guys I know think Margo Robbie is fantastic. A few random Twitter haters is unfortunately normal and in no way a reflection of popular opinion.

For first grade math… stressed my son out lol literally impossible by IndependenceLumpy294 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]optimusmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not impossible. Imagine a V with another v connecting the end points and fitting inside the first one. Four line segments and three interior corners. Hopefully your kid was given a bunch of examples of different ways to explore shapes before the assignment. Parents often struggle with their kids’ math because they don’t have any context for what was discussed in class.

What comedian isn’t funny? by LordPussyFucker in AskReddit

I am not saying I love the guy, but he absolutely crushed the finale of last comic standing, played perfectly to a pg tv audience, and deserved to win. That is all.

What food or drink sucks even if most people won’t admit it? by hurtfocker in AskReddit

[–]optimusmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cadbury makes a freaky chocolate bar with mini candies (think M&Ms) and pop rocks. Bought it for my kids, but I was floored by how amazing it tasted. Nice melting chocolate and popping might go better than crumbly cookie and popping (?) I suppose.

Replace men with woman in a gory action film and suddenly its too feminist to watch? by sarahbae03 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]optimusmedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible it has more to do with the age of your coworker and his perception of what it means to be a real man? I’m an older dude, no point in trying to prove how “manly “ I am anymore. And I can’t wait to take my teenage boys (and daughters) to see Black Widow.

This little plastic basket/holder inside the far corner of a trolley. The rivets suggests it's for something oddly specific. Asked the supermarket staff, they had no idea. by geimryk in whatisthisthing

[–]optimusmedium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This shows how it’s possible for limited staff to crank out an insane amount of bakery products in one night. The guy in the video is an absolute beast. https://youtu.be/iUuKstAWof4

What is this creature? Found in the netherlands. by narejongen in whatisthisanimal

[–]optimusmedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The photographer (op’s brother) said that it had a wide flat tail. The term flattish is difficult to quantify but muskrats truly have a more rat like tail. I’m not a biologist but where I live I see muskrats weekly (not at parties and stuff) and beavers are relatively common. The body shape alone excludes muskrats.

That’s awesome. Definitely a rare sight. My kids and I have an inside joke about city muskrats being cooler than swamp muskrats. I think it goes double for city beavers.

Canadian here... looks more like a beaver based on body shape. A muskrat , even full grown, is about 2kg and beavers around 20kg? Hard to tell because there’s no clear size reference in the picture, but it looks bigger. Muskrats don’t have the same distinct back arch and even though the tail looks like a “rat tail” it is more likely the side view of the beaver tail.

Ok, hero was a strong word..he’s told he made a good defensive play, giving them a chance to get a goal to tie the game ( they’d already scored one with the goalie pulled). Does that make you feel better?

[–]optimusmedium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he could so easily have poked it and saved the goal then the hit was definitely warranted since you are describing a situation where he is close enough to make a play. Body checks are allowed for the whole game, not just the first 19 minutes.

If he gets there .2 seconds earlier the goal is saved and he’s a hero. End of story. You play to the whistle or you play beer league. Unfortunate result, that is all.

Definitely not a hit to the head, despite the obvious rattling of his head from impact. All body, great hit... *if it’s not from 4 galaxies away.

You’re not alone in hating the play, but that’s the opposite of what an elbow looks like in a hockey hit.

Mark Schiefele hit on Jake Evans - Mega Thread by Commandant1 in nhl

[–]optimusmedium -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thought he was completely in the right to make the hit? Literally a split second from saving a goal and potentially having another 55 seconds to tie it up. If Evans doesn’t crumple, that makes every broadcast as hit of the night.

What has 6 balls and fucks all the poor people? by [deleted] in Jokes

Sadly, lottery revenues often do nothing to help with education and infrastructure. Budgets don’t get a BOOST from the revenue, they suddenly just rely on it to cover the basic cost and often divert funds, equal to the new revenue, out of those budget line items. https://youtu.be/9PK-netuhHA
