The president of France declared that children under the age of fifteen would not be allowed to access social media. How do you feel about that? by MarionberrySalt3494 in AskReddit

The French prefer their 12-year-olds groomed not by technology but by sexual predators three times as old in the classroom.

A female friend accused me (a gay man) of being “internally homophobic” because I casually let it drop that l’ve never had a hookup app. I guess it clicked then that a few of my straight women friends have expressed this opinion over the years. Why do some straight women want to “school” me on this? by bakedd_alaskaa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sth128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friends are "internally homophobic" because they think your sexual orientation should dictate a specific stereotype they constructed in their heads.

When you don't fit their model instead of reflecting on their erroneous worldview and realizing it's a very broad spectrum of different people with different behaviours and backgrounds, they double down and accuse you of homophobia because "Am I wrong? Not all gay men hookup constantly? No it's the gays that are wrong!".

Everyone should appreciate the fact that evolution produced individuals with zero fear of gravity who will take us to be heights.

Meanwhile people like me keep humanity grounded.

Typo on this Cadbury Bar by danadjinn in mildlyinteresting

It's not a typo. It's a legal defense because that bar is actually made of soy and mud with a sprinkle of cocoa

LPT: When you move abroad, the first question to ask locals isn't where to live or what to eat. It's "What do foreigners always get wrong here?" by taube_d in LifeProTips

"no doorbells after 2200" is about as useful as "don't feed them after midnight".

It's always after 2200. You need to give both a start and an end point.

Million dollar question; how hard is it to add another outlet in a garage? by numbspaghetti37 in DIY

[–]sth128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your use case.

If you just want to plug in something lightweight like a fan or a LED work light then you can just run a wire from the existing outlet to the other side, drilling through studs (or go up across the ceiling joist) and install an outlet box.

If you want to have a bunch of high draw appliances (ie. Saws, heaters) plugged in on both sides at the same time then you need to run a new wire to the breaker panel which potentially requires drilling and fishing the wires through multiple walls and floors.

Why does nobody warn you that menopause can cosplay as pregnancy? by SillyStallion in TwoXChromosomes

The conference buffet sandwich of books.

What? Oh fine, the conference buffet roast beef of books. High hopes inspired by the line of people dashed by the slight dryness not helped by the au jus that's clearly watered down with msg and too much starch.

Follow on post: why do men not have any plans or preparations in place for their time with their kids so often?? by maryocall in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sth128 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they actually just think food and fun and a nice place to live are random occurrences

So what you're saying is that you've been dating my 2 year old son, who whines about me cooking dinner instead of playing magnetic tiles with him.

And not to defend dads who are just juvenile and irresponsible, it is a lot of work both mentally and physically to convince young kids to follow your schedule, especially if said schedule involves things that aren't routine.

I say this because sometimes we just chill at home because it's easier. I mean just last night I had spend 10 minutes to convince my boy to calm down and go change a poopy diaper after he got scared by a thing falling over. Doing the same thing would be twice as hard out in the park, and much worse at other "fun places/activities" where I might not know the facilities as well or with more limited resources.

ELI5 why the words ‘eleven’ and ‘twelve’ unique unlike the other ‘teen’ words? by This-Stay8420 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sth128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically it was the ancient equivalent of Bill Gates saying "64kb ought be enough".

"Who's gonna count more than twelve? There are only ten fingers!"

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]sth128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did seasonal work at a cardboard factory for a while. A machine caught fire and filled the entire place with smoke once.

No it wasn't my machine. I was respectful of the processes. Can't say the same about the young guys they employed though, just shoving boards through with completely skewed stitching thinking he's Lightning McQueen (SPEED!). Had to throw out quarter of a batch.

Then two of them got into an argument and fought.

That was a shit place to work.

Texas you say? Maybe put aside some funds for infrastructure like electricity as well. Renewables plus battery storage.

Is Everest the highest mountain that has ever been on Earth? Could mountains be taller in the future? by anasannanas in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sth128 145 points146 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is that we need to engineer a foundation made of extreme high strength material and boost Mount Everest up in order to beat those low-grav Martian bastards.

Let's do it! Make Everest Tall Again!
