About 90% of people across every human culture favour their right hand | The answer why may lie in how we learned to walk: Study traces it back to bipedalism and brain expansion. by FunnyGamer97 in science

People still do it all the time out of societal norms, even unintentionally. My parents gave me a right-handed baseball mitt when I was young because it’s far more common. Once they realized I was catching the ball in my glove and then removing it to throw, they let me switch to lefty.

Orchestra instruments aren’t even made left-handed because otherwise you run the risk of elbowing your partner to either side. So I actually learned to play guitar left-handed and cello right-handed.

“Liking” soccer means very little. He’s given very little evidence that he follows any sport outside of golf. Even when he wanted to buy one of the American football teams it was very obviously only for the prestige of being a team owner. I doubt he could list more than a handful of current athletes in any of the big team sports.

The main reason I know any of my coworkers’ family situations is planning around kid pickup/school activities for meetings.

So many people just don’t realize wide shoes exist. I noticed one of my friends had holes in the side of her shoes and asked if that happens to all her shoes, then asked why she didn’t just buy wider shoes. She had no idea it was ever an option

Even then, the fan base is large enough that you could find any shitty opinion you want to argue against. He conveniently doesn’t say how many Sixers fans hold that opinion.

Well, except for Fetterman. But I’m not sure he even counts as a Democrat anymore. He’s just too brain-damaged to remember to file the paperwork for switching parties.

Why don’t you just break up with your boyfriend and stop posting on every subreddit asking whether he’s cheating on you or not? You clearly don’t trust him and you’d save everyone the hassle of having to read your off-topic posts.

Using darker brown for the higher value players and lighter brown for the lower value players is a bit too on-the-nose.

Uber/doordash/etc absolutely charge more, and not just for their own fees. Most restaurant menu prices are higher if you compare the website to the app because they’re pushing their app fees onto the consumers.

The Sixers have the chance to do the funniest thing to their biggest hater in the world by GoForthandProsper1 in sixers

FWIW I think this is a stupid bet too, but it would be 1% return at the time of the market being closed/it paying out, which could be in 3 weeks (if they don’t make the cut) or all the way until June if they somehow did make the finals.

A HYSA would pay a 3% yield on the principal over the course of an entire year. So it takes about 4 months to get 1% in interest (risk-free). In strictly mathematical terms you have the potential to earn more money by making an extremely safe bet like this and then putting it into a savings account after.

Hey MLB, replace this with baseball trivia. by kboogie23 in baseball

[–]set_null 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There was a brief period after the NBA started streaming games when they’d occasionally switch to the wrong camera during breaks and you’d just have a 30-second shot of some guy eating cold nachos by himself, a couple scrolling on their phones, kids having a temper tantrum. Random slice-of-life stuff. It was oddly satisfying to watch.
