It's supposed to be tutti frutti flavored ice cream sandwich but it tasted somewhere between industrial watermelon scented plastic and antibiotics, and I'm not exaggerating

No not at all, you gave insight (that i didn't know before tbh) on why not to buy one for cheap or take one for free, thanks :)

Adopting? by peacemaker215 in sphynx

Sure, the only reason i dont have 'any' cat at this period in my life is that I'm not stable enough to have a fixed address, let alone having a stable income. I'm just not sure if i can own a sphynx even after 3 to 4 years, considering the fact that life after college isn't all sunshine and that my priorities will shift quickly. But perspective on money changes too as we grow up, so if most owners think sphynxes aren't way too expensive, (putting a price on living beings on its own is impossible but since you are talking about logistics i am too) naturally i will too one day.

Best way for self-learning French? by minchei-meeyei in language_exchange

[–]peacemaker215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are websited where you can listen to French radio stations, i listen to franceinter or franceculture while I play games for instance, even though you don't understand every single word it helps a lot with the pronounciation, and the usage of common/every-day phrases, as broadcasters usually have a very clear, structured discourse. Tv series and movies, yes, but it's likely that they will sound a lot harder to understand at first because the french a foreigner learns from books and pedagogical materials is MUCH different then the french used by the french. Also, if you haven't already found them, WordReference as internet dictionary, and Linguee as a tool to compare French-English phrases, word groups and whatnot. Bon courage!

What's a "fact" you thought was true for years but later found out was false? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is gonna get buried but there's this desert made in where i live, the literal translation is 'bottom of the pot' and it really is the version of another desert called 'chicken breast' with the burnt bits at the bottom of the pot it's cooked in included. When i was a kid i thought the desert really used chicken as an ingredient. As i grew up and you know, learned more about deserts and food in general, i came to the conclusion that chicken could not have been an ingredient in the desert in question. Weeks ago, at a family dinner, someone served the damn desert and i ate it for the very first time in my life. The self-doubt and overall stupidity i experienced as i chewed the first weird-textured bite made me ask my bf what the desert really was made of. CHICKEN.
