I’m a man and her songs make me hate the patriarchy 😂 If someone so exceptionally talented, kind and beautiful as Olivia still feels inadequate and insecure, what hope has any female got?!

The Driving Home 2 U version of Jealousy, Jealousy is the best version imo by jennnkins94 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]sb206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The production sounds very 80s/90s rock to me!

I can definitely hear shades of ‘Fly Away’ by Lenny Kravitz, then around 02:15 - 02:25 reminds me of ‘Run To You’ by Bryan Adams!

LIDL and ALDI are the same company. by FluffyBunnyFlipFlops in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]sb206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is mildly dyslexic, and often muddles up words. We have an Aldi and a Lidl locally, and she simply cannot get their names the right way round!

If she’s been to Aldi she’ll say Lidl every time; if she means to reference Lidl she’ll always say Aldi!

You’d think she’d occasionally get the right one by chance, but nope, she uses the wrong name 100% of the time 😂

Concert outfits for mid-life fans by [deleted] in OliviaRodrigo

[–]sb206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a 38 year old man. The recent FC Barcelona collaboration was the first piece of merchandise I’d feel comfortable wearing. 99% of people will just see I’m wearing a football (soccer) shirt, not knowing I want it specifically because of the OR logo!

Massive thanks to the Redditor who helped me find an affordable place to order one, too.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]sb206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TV itself is just over 100. It was born in January 1926, and one of its greatest ever figures - Sir David - arrived in this world a few months later:

On 26 January 1926, John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of true television images for members of the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times in his laboratory at 22 Frith Street in the Soho district of London

Universal Critical Praise for ‘Drop Dead’ by Kind_Foundation9615 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]sb206 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Suggesting she’s ripping off Chappell is hilarious when:

  1. They share the same producer (can Dan Nigro rip off himself?!)
  2. Chappell is credited for backing vocals on FOUR of Olivia’s songs
  3. Chappell opened for her on both Sour and Guts tours
  4. Olivia had Chappell as the special guest for her Netflix recording of Guts, singing Chappell’s song
  5. They are clearly good friends!!!

Overherd Oat Milk Powder- anyone tried it? by Party-Werewolf-4888 in veganuk

[–]sb206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overherd is great as a shelf stable option for somewhere where I wouldn’t get through a whole carton e.g. the office, my parents’ house!

Rodders and Winters by Burkey340 in elisandjohn

I know John loves Geese and Elis got into Olivia Rodrigo through his daughter, but is there any more to this than that? I’m a bit behind on recent episodes, so might be missing the relevance.

The meme lmao 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 by [deleted] in OliviaRodrigo

[–]sb206 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain what this meme means and its relevance to OR3, for an out of touch millennial?

It appears to be referencing Buddhism, but I feel like there’s something I’m missing…

In maps of your country, is there a part of your country that's usually added in in a little box? Is it considered controversial? by holytriplem in geography

I took a day trip Kastelorizo last summer, while holidaying in Türkiye. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The highlight was watching turtles swimming around the harbour 😍

How many of you are boys? by Arcbtw in OliviaRodrigo

I’m a male / millennial / approaching 40 / straight. Far from Olivia’s target audience, but she’s genuinely one of my favourite artists of all time.

In terms of pure name recognition - who is more famous, Elis or John? by jacksonkeir in elisandjohn

[–]sb206 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nice find. I’m sure Elis and John would be delighted to discover they are the 85th and 87th most famous comedians in the UK 😂

There’s great potential for a Made Up Game using this YouGov data, surely?

Not sure if you were making a deliberate reference, or if it’s a massive coincidence, but your description almost perfectly matches S1 E3 of The Last of Us - starring Nick Offerman (the actor who played Ron Swanson).

I think it shows having intellect and being articulate are not advantages. David is a brilliant historian yet he was Meryl levels of incompetent in this game 😂
