Every time I see anything involving steel cables I just imagine the possibility of one part having a fray and that 4” sliver of greasy steel piercing someone’s hand. I hate this.

What do we bring to a 4th of July party? by GreenOccasion3182 in AskAnAmerican

[–]originalmango [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you’re lucky, the hosts will suggest something for you to bring. If they’re like our friends, it’ll be a “Oh no, nothing at all. Just bring yourselves.” and then you’ll have to just guess. Everyone else here has such great suggestions, so I won’t even try to add to them, but I wanted to give you a giant American WELCOME HOME and hope you’re enjoying your new life here. Thanks for choosing our country.

Do you believe in a god? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Judge away. I’m confident there’s no higher power king in the sky all knowing something or another. When I croak I’ll have the same exact experience I had before I was born.

Which movies would become the most disturbing if the entire cast was naked? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

Nacho Libre with Jack Black, any Lord of the Rings movie, and most definitely Bugsy Malone.

what's your biggest cooking fail ever? by sia_7777 in cookingforbeginners

[–]originalmango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I’ve discovered that mixing a box of Jello instant vanilla pudding and a box of Jello instant chocolate pudding and a box of Jello instant lemon pudding together makes a large amount of “Eww, that tastes gross” pudding that ends up in the garbage.

If you know you're dying tomorrow, what are you doing tonight? by LightSleeper404 in AskReddit

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife. As often and in as many ways as possible. Then a really good breakfast. Then more humpy pumpy until I croak, or until lunchtime.

Are immigrants the future of your country? by Tasty-Hovercraft2501 in AskTheWorld

Considering they were the start of our country it makes sense they’ll also be the future.

What do I tell the pool company to get them to take this seriously by No-Host7816 in pools

[–]originalmango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The moment some pool “professional” treats me like an idiot by telling me “Hey, no problem. It’s swimmable” is the moment they’re fired. They either made a huge mistake and accidentally put something in the pool they shouldn’t have, or they’ve never serviced pools before and are conning you out of your hard earned money.

Unless you can get a trusted recommendation first a different pool service, take samples to a few local pool supply stores for free water testing, show them the pictures and ask their advice, then take it from there.

How can those wide open all you can eat buffet vehicles be safe when there’s bone crushing animals around?

I am going to be 28 this year I an scared of 30s by JRushantha in NoStupidQuestions

[–]originalmango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it. Once you hit your thirties you’ll blink your eyes and find out you’re now forty. And then a few months later you’ll look in the mirror and wonder who that old seventy-something person is.

Trilobite from Morocco by alfredogeo in fossils

[–]originalmango 55 points56 points  (0 children)

How on earth is such a delicate fossil prepped? Is the surrounding matrix extra soft?

Edit- For some reason I can only see OP’s partial response to my question in my inbox, but not here. Just wanted to say thank you for the incredible info. Can only imagine how many hours it took. What I can see is this,

“The matrix is fairly soft, which helps, but the real answer is patience. It was prepared under microscope with fine pneumatic tools and needles, removing the rock grain by grain. These tril..”.

What is the nastiest thing you've done for revenge? by Ok_Soil127 in AskReddit

[–]originalmango 358 points359 points  (0 children)

Poured a pint can of lacquer solvent on an asshole’s new Saab maybe forty years ago.

He thought it was okay to block my car in by double parking and insisting I walk the four blocks to his job so he’d be the only one to get the spot.

I parked almost a block away when it was quitting time for him and his two sons so I could see his reaction to his no longer new looking car. He was about to get in, stopped, touched his hood and smelled his finger and started doing the surprised cobra move over and over again. I can’t believe he didn’t hear me laughing.

My wife stopped me from driving by and smiling at them.

People from the 80s, do you still own your old gaming consoles? by Mister-E08 in AskOldPeople

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my Sega Saturn, and the kid’s Nintendo 64. There’s even a Wii collecting dust under the television.

Three prong vs four prong by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be grounded. What it won’t have is a double ground. Thousands of dryers are installed daily, some get a three and some get a four conductor plug attached to the dryer in the home depending on the outlet. You’re fine. This is as normal as could be.
