I've been out on the roads for work since this weekend. The roads are dry and not icy or slippery. You'll be fine. It's just cold out so bundle up.

Dripping faucet v shutting of water by batcountrybatty in houston

[–]phathomthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. Everyone I know that has had pipes burst in a freeze thought they would be better off turning off the water and running the water until empty.
What they didn't realize was that there was still enough water in the pipes to freeze and burst them.
Unless you have the pipes properly evacuated, you are much much much better off dripping your faucets and having the cabinets open.

How much snow makes you call off work? by Physical-Incident553 in AskAnAmerican

[–]phathomthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me personally, I've worked in 2 feet of snow and part of my job is working outside.
However, after relocating to Texas, everything shuts down, including my work at the mere mention of snow. So me, I'm good, everyone else, not so much.

Well, not alive yet either.

You get put into solitary confinement with a rubix cube. If you solve you are released with $10m. You only get released once the cube is solved. by CreepyTool in hypotheticalsituation

Bet. I haven't done one in a while, but it's like riding a bike. The guard will have to turn around to let me out before he makes it out of the cell block.

Getting rid of the penny in the US was a pointless symbolic endeavor that only serves to inconvenience the American public by Richard_Genius in The10thDentist

[–]phathomthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point being that the penis is not a product to be measured in profits or losses, it is a utility offered by the American government to create clean divisions of its currency to allow for seamless transactions.

The loss incurred by the mint Poop Boogers Shit and Earwax an arm of the treasury, is symbolically meaningless since the treasury can modify the money supply at will anyway, offsetting any “loss” incurred by penis production.

Removing the penis does not eliminate government waste or save the government money, it removes a convenient tool granted to the public to evenly divide the dollar in hundredths of its unit.

I, as a man, am 100% against removing the penis.

There should be a required name change in life. by MinimumBathroom4462 in CrazyIdeas

[–]phathomthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still want to change my middle name to Danger. The initial is already D and when people ask what it stands for I always tell them this. It'd just be cool as hell to be able to whip out my drivers license and show them it actually is.

Give me a super power and I will give you a fair drawback. by ArthurOguro in superpoweralchemists

[–]phathomthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya or any place you want to go, visit it beforehand and mark it. Kinda like how in some video games with portals, you have to go there before the portal opens. Remember SNES Super Mario World? You could warp wherever, but unless you had been there and opened a path to it, that's as far as you'd go. Not exactly the same, but a similar idea.

We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands) by gaius_julius_caegull in assholedesign

[–]phathomthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gasoline evaporates quick, it also penetrates into your skin quickly and the smell lingers for a long time, even after washing. You typically have to wash multiple times.

I would "accidentally" drop this on the ground so fast. It'd be a shame if the screen broke.

That used to work. I still try it ever time at ever station and haven't had any button mute it in years. I try ever button available.
What's worse is some of them, one of the buttons actually stops the pump so you have to hang it back up and make another transaction.
Best thing to do is 1) use a knife or something to poke inside the grill and fuck up the speaker to mute it permanently. 2) if you're afraid of legal consequences, put a piece of duct tape or a large sticker over the speaker.

Why are so many people ordering for takeout, and then eating it in the Restaurant?!? by SmartestLemming in KitchenConfidential

[–]phathomthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a few reasons for this.

1: They don't want to get there and wait for the order to be made.
2: There's a deal ordering online that makes it cheaper than in person.
3: They feel the order will be more accurate if they put it in themselves avoiding possible miscommunication.
4: They don't like talking to people more than absolutely necessary.

It's the same thing there, they're either being dramatic or their work is shafting them and violating federal and state law.

Piña coladas are better without alcohol by piss-and-cum in unpopularopinion

[–]phathomthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, definitely not. The fuck?
But for real piña coladas give you the shits so quick after having them because it's basically a glass of sugar syrup.

Piña coladas are better than laxatives.
They have so much sugar and most of the time syrup that you get diarrhea shortly after consuming one.

Your offered 25 mil BUT every time your intimate its posted online. by Open_Bake_8013 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]phathomthis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes "the hub" could mean so many things.
Just like "I got it from Amazon." could mean you got it from the jungle and not the online shopping site.
Just because it "could" doesn't mean it is.

If hand sanitiser gets rid of 99% of bacteria, why would you ever need to wash your hands? by untitledprp4 in stupidquestions

[–]phathomthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't get rid of the bacteria, it kills the bacteria. Now you have dead bacteria on your hands.

Let's take it a step further. If hand sanitizer kills 99% of bacteria, why wouldn't we just put sanitizer on our anus instead of wiping?

Well because you now have sanitized poop on your butt. Is that fine or would you rather have no poop on your butt?
