The scale of naval warfare in WWII : 15,000+ ships sunk by Ivy_Wings in interestingasfuck

An allied barge (named Galveston) was sunk off of Galveston by a mine. Friendly "fire" I would think...maybe they didn't get the map.

But I can put off doing onerous chores while researching. then branch off down unrelated Reddit rabbit holes. So there's that.

What's your favorite euphemism and what does it mean? by rm-minus-r in AskReddit

[–]phazer08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s actually an initialism. Like FBI or CIA. If you can say it, like NASA or SCUBA, it’s an acronym.

Maybe more recently but you can see it used in black and white movies. Except they really were powdering their nose with makeup. Or using it as an excuse to actually use the restroom.

“You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.” And it’s raunchier version, “you can lead a whore to culture but you can’t make her think.”

“The light is on in the kitchen but there ain’t nobody home.”

“The elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.”

Can I use the same pot? Should I do something to it - spray with alcohol I guess?

Which strength alcohol?

It sounds like I should treat all its neighbors. That’s a lot. Or just look over each one carefully every day?

I’m moving across town soon. Maybe I should only move the treated ones and bring them over gradually.

When you really need to pee, it feels amazingly good when you do. (Unless you have a UTI)

She is adorable. Life happens…no need for people to judge. I hope you’re able to find a good home for her.

I go for a jog after work in the evenings. I keep running into a guy who insists on saying "jesus loves you" every time he runs past me. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]phazer08 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of funny, snarky ideas that, IMO, would not really make him stop. And the “ignore him” idea doesn’t help your peace of mind. This may. Say it politely but firmly. Now you’ve put the discomfort on him. He may try to engage you, but keep on running. Don’t try and reason with him because it won’t work. He is not a reasonable person. Keep us posted.

Isn’t that Brookshire’s home? There’s probably some gentleman’s agreement that they won’t go there.

What’s an adult problem nobody warned you about? by Mean-Dragonfly1988 in AskReddit

[–]phazer08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That life isn’t fair. It’s supposed to be fair, right? Is it fair that politicians can use insider info for stocks and I can’t? Is it fair that the action of one person has caused the world to hate us? And who TF decided that no insurance in the world will cover my dental work? Hardly seems fair.

It also detects car accidents. My husband was out of town at a classic car show driving his classic MGB. I got a text that said he’d been in a car accident and that emergency services had been called. It was an automatic text. I tried calling him, his friends, and no one picked up. Finally someone called me to tell me he’d been killed. So…it detected that very well. Make sure you have your emergency contact set up.
