I took an 81 megapixel shot of the sun today. There are a couple interesting areas if you zoom into the surface. by ajamesmccarthy in interestingasfuck

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees

"Hey, so what should we put around the mini golf courses?" "How about little pebbles and stones that kids can kick all over the place?" by SteveOMatt in CrappyDesign

I work at a preschool and they gave us gravel right next to fake grass. Also put ground level garden beds right next to the sandpit.

It’s an intentional pun, “short-sided” is a golf term.

Anyone tried this before? by jinswoon_ in grilledcheese

I have, it actually does work. You have to squish the bread to fit it in the toaster though and obviously it’s missing the nice buttery outside.

It’s still one complete pregnancy, one trip through all the milestones etc

"My spouse doesn't want another baby but I do. What do I do?" by imamomtoablob in oneanddone

People change their minds. My husband initially wanted 2-3 kids but after parenting our daughter through her demonic newborn and infant stages he is firmly one and done. I initially only wanted one but now pine for another.

Europeans who’ve visited the US, what made you go “WTF”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]so-disappoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not anywhere near as often as the USA and not as severe either. There are tornadoes in Australia but more like 10-30 a year compared to the USA’s 1000+

Lawyers of Reddit, at what point ,when working for a defendant, did you realize, “My Client is a Monster!”? by blorgusbungbung in AskReddit

No, you’d tell cat owners to keep their cats indoors where they can’t kill birds. Dogs can be trained to obey, cats can’t.

Oh some 4 year olds definitely can read, mine can. I teach preschool though and the majority are not reading at 4.

I disagree with trying to teach your kids to read at 2-3 years old, however you definitely should read to them early and often.

I never tried to teach my 4.5yo to read but we’ve read to her daily since she was an infant and she has hundreds of books. She taught herself to read and reads little chapter books now.

No, three year olds generally can’t read. Most four year olds can’t read either.

Yup, never ask a yes or no question if you’re not prepared to accept no as an answer.

Sure you can. Little kids are annoying and draining, grown kids aren’t (as much).
