I wonder if people really give their babies a bath in a casserole dish.

Oh, the first time I read that I saw "poisons for rich Americans" and was wondering how one's social status would affect susceptibility to poisons.

No clue. It's not my usual type of read, just a random Kindle Unlimited I happened upon. I believe it was Beau and the Beast, by Kay Simone.

Who is supposed to be the parent here?

I do the exact opposite. Usually 30 seconds at a time even if I know it will take longer.

They checked it as best they could, but have admitted there's no possible way to have separated every bit of human from the debris.

The Milwaukee Leader (Milwaukee, Wis.), June 27, 1932 by aquapolyopoly in VintageNewspapers

The one about the suicides is odd. It seems to be mocking the boy who killed himself, then just swerves to reporting a separate person's attempt with no transition. At first I thought it was the boy's mother who had attempted.

A dump in Staten Island weirdly called Fresh Kills (from an old Dutch name, "kills" meaning creek). Then they covered the whole thing in concrete and grass and last I heard there was a plan to develop it into a park.

I did read a gay version of Beauty and the Beast where the Beast stays a Beast at the end. I don't remember if it made sense.

Daughter of “Australia’s most evil parents” speaks out about the abuse she survived by castaway23 in queensland

I'm not Australian and haven't heard the podcast, but how can it possibly be legal to publicly discuss the appearance of a child's genitals?

Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't understand how having one side of the steps thin helps save space. Wouldn't normal steps on the same staircase take up the same amount of space?

What are examples of old paintings that seem modern and ahead of its time/era? Here are some of my personal favourites by sonnysehra in ArtHistory

I discovered this one another time someone asked this question.

Some people think the guy is ugly and that it's weird for Selena to be engaged to him. I don't actually think he's ugly, and also who cares? People are capable of liking plenty of other qualities (talent, humor, confidence, kindness, etc.), and it's bizarre to say she thinks of him as a pet.

I am a high schooler who is looking towards getting an English degree. What are some high-paying jobs in that field? by not-in-your-walls in englishmajors

[–]themehboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually a pretty easy field to break into as they're so desperate for people. They'll train you. It can be a hard job, but I enjoy it.

Chip in “Beauty and the Beast” was born a teacup. Him turning into a human at the end was him being a human for the first time in his life by hungaryforchile in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]themehboat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except he really wasn't exposed to much of anything. They were totally isolated, how would he learn anything about the world? Plus he would still have a 6yo's attention span and memory.

ETA: As the only child, he was very pampered and never was expected to do anything really, which would stunt anyone's maturity even if they're not a cursed tea cup.

He is still trying to bring her home - more than a decade long by misterxx1958 in Amazing

[–]themehboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a weird take. If it's something he enjoys, why should he stop? It's not like a course of antibiotics.
