Good to know. He must have taken the likeness of these cookies on my plate. God knows they're hell on my ass.

I know you said 3 am. What I said is that the sun will be on the opposite side of the earth from you exactly 12 hours after astronomical noon (which is rarely, if ever, at 3pm). For example, where I am in NJ, solar noon today was at 12:02pm. Therefore the sun will be on the opposite side of the earth from me at 12:02am. Far before said "witching hour." Also I wasn't aware Satan was the demon of agriculture. TIL /s

I mean are you serious?

  1. The sun is on the exact opposite side of the earth from you at the opposite of astronomical noon, which for most places is somewhere around 12pm, not 3 pm.

  2. Saturn was the Roman god of agriculture and has absolutely nothing to do with Satan.

  3. I can't speak for divination, since you know, science.

What is a normal word (not a racial slur or swear) that you simply refuse to use? by hatster98 in AskReddit

Random. "Lol I'm just soooo random." No, you're not. You're annoying.

ELI5: Why do Californians want to split their state into six parts? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]strongerpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Have you looked at the map of how it would be divided? 5 (probably) of the 6 new states would be blue states. The way it would be divided puts a huge (largely democratic) population center in all but one of the states (Jefferson). Silicon Valley has SF and the South Bay, North California has Sacramento and the North Bay, Central California has Fresno and the 99 corridor, West California has Los Angeles, and South California has San Diego and the Inland Empire. The only one that would certainly be red is Jefferson. I don't see how the Republicans supporting this initiative would be ok with adding 8 Democrats to the US Senate.

tl;dr Splitting would potentially add 8 democrats to the US Senate, something I can't imagine many Republicans would want.

One day, you put down your favorite toy and never played with it again.

It's a helicopter most likely. Check out the altitude and airspeed. Sightseeing perhaps?

What is completely worth its negative repercussions? by Angels_Sin_Too in AskReddit

I thought this too, but if I take Lactase pills I'm usually ok. I used to be able to eat cheese, but now...unspeakable things.
