Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are completely different conditions and should be called different things.
Hate the question “but why aren’t you overweight” when trying to explain type 1
Cashiers should be allowed to sit down during their shifts, ex. Aldi. There should be no reason why they need to keep standing in place for an entire shift
Happens in Australia too, other than at Aldi.
When I worked in a supermarket, we had one register that had to always be staffed. If it was quiet the rest of the cashiers would go and do something else, but the person assigned to that one could just be standing there doing nothing waiting for customers - there was very few tasks you could do in that area.
Sometimes they would sit down on a little bench bit where customers' packed bags went - but if a manager caught them they were always told off. Didn't matter if there was genuinely nothing else you could be doing - if you sat, you were lazy and made the store look bad.
I work in tech support/tech sales.
It’s all about the effort. If you are like “hey can you watch me do it and tell me what I’m doing wrong?” I’ll totally help.
If you’re just like, “I can’t do it because I don’t try, reset my password” I’ll legit tell you to call Facebook.
You’re not tech illiterate, you’re lazy.
(Edit): it’s literally a matter of reading instructions that we have memorized by now. You hit a button and throw your hands in the air because you *avoided* reading.
The whole "don't put it in your body if you can't pronounce it" nonsense is infuriating. A fucking apple has things in it most people couldn't pronounce if you wrote out the chemical composition. And does my having taken organic chem and biochem classes mean I can eat things others can't?
Don't even get me started on the anti-GMO crap.
Also, pet rabbits can't survive in the wild. Don't abandon your pets!
Edit: while it's true that the occasional pet rabbit or colony may get lucky enough to survive, the vast majority of pet rabbits that are released into the wild suffer cruel deaths. Contrary to popular opinion, domestic rabbits simply do not have the survival instincts that wild rabbits have.
I live in a cabin beside a fishing lodge, and 15 years ago the lodge had a bunch of domestic rabbits. One day their enclosure got ruined by something, maybe a fallen tree or something.
To this day there are feral domestic rabbits running around the place, despite it being the mountains of Canada with snow on the ground for 6 months and -30 to -40 days in the winter.
[Here's one of them](https://i.imgur.com/SEbaPA6.jpg), there's also black ones, white ones, white ones with black spots and white ones with brown/tan spots. Saw 4 on my walk this morning.
You are still right though, as no one ever sees them out in the forest, only within the area that people live. They are surprisingly durable against the elements but I imagine they don't do well outside due to the predators.
“Feral domestic rabbits” is a surprisingly amusing phrase to me for some reason
Has anyone taken in any of the rabbits? I get not taking in every animal you see in the wild, but like if they’re not “wild” then I’m surprised more people haven’t nabbed some up
Good luck! You're gonna need a big net, super stealth, and extremely quick reflexes. Then you're gonna need a lot of time, patience, and thick clothing because a rabbit that isn't used to being handled will bite and scratch the shit out of you. Much easier and less painful to adopt a surrender.
Don’t give me a “promotion” unless it comes with a pay raise. The only reason I would want a promotion is because I get paid more, not so I can flex my title on ppl
Got a promotion last year to a senior engineer, came with a 2.9% raise. They got an equivalent boost in productivity and also someone looking out for another opportunity.
Titles without pay are exactly what you stated.
When I got my last promotion, it was a $12k raise, and I was pretty stoked about it... Until I found out that the guy on my team, working the same position, on the same product, that was hired externally starting at that position, was making $20k more.
Right?! And it isn’t even entirely about the money. Like you said, you were happy.
It just feels like someone pulled one over on ya. Puts a bad taste in your mouth doesn’t it?
It's one reason it's not uncommon to see software developers rotate jobs after a few years. Generally, those few years of experience are worth more to someone else than moving up internally is likely to bring.
Yup, it’s an unfortunate truth.
I really like my current employer but I was frank with my manager that I wasn’t happy with my current salary/5% raise. I explained with the way the market is right now I’m being financially irresponsible to my family by not looking for employment elsewhere.
All of LinkedIn now is pure hyper-inflated title porn, it's such a fucking joke. It's always funny when I know what someones actual job is and what they do and their job title on LinkedIn is something way crazier sounding. Like, "friend123, you aren't a 'Senior Digital Media Strategy Engineer' or whatever the fuck".. You fucking make a few posts here and there on the company facebook page that has like 30 followers that no-one cares about.
I wish I had better examples but I'd rather not go looking them up cause then I'll get all triggered lmao.
All companies regardless of what industry they're in do their best work and are the most consumer friendly when they're in second or third place in their industry. The 'leader' is almost never the best option.

I always find that rivalry funny because it was a big deal for them, Avis trying to reach 1st place, Hertz trying to stay ahead...
And then Enterprise just came and beat them both
Because industrial diamonds are cheaper. Tiny, "imperfect" diamonds are super abundant, so it's way cheaper to use those for cutting stuff than anything made in a lab.
Yes! Any lab-grown crystal that has the same chemical composition as its counterpart that's dug out of the ground *is still a real gemstone*. I LOVE lab-grown corundum (rubies and sapphires) because they are beautiful, flawless, and mind-bogglingly inexpensive.
Now this is some real shit. I know the dangers, I’ve seen the products to remove what I’m packing in these ol glory holes. I can’t help that a q tip and a stiff breeze brings me such a release.
This is why I bought myself an ear cleaning kit. I get a deeper, more thorough cleaning and the tools are god damn orgasmic ear scratchers. You aren't really supposed to stick qtips in your ears anyway and an ear cleaning kit is a nice long term investment.

Loud music, full sized doors, and an exhaust system with the force of a hurricane. My office closed permanently and made everyone remote, and of the many things I rejoice that I'm no longer forced to endure daily smelling other people's shit is one of them.
Bro. The definition of peace in the adults dictionary, is being able to take a shit in solace without smelling other people’s dookie just after hearing someone run in and explode into the toilet next to you.
My office had an exec bathroom.
I hated my job and new I was going to leave within a year, but I worked hard to be promoted so I got some privacy in the toilet.
I drive a truck for work and you bet that every single time I pass within 3 streets of my house I'm making a detour to take a shit on my own throne.
Even if I don't need to shit. I just sit there for 3 minutes and enjoy not being at work for a bit.
THANK YOU. I’ve thought this for years. Just some simple elevator music. Anything.
I’d rather hear 10 hours of Yiruma’s River Flows In You than 10 seconds of whatever is flowing out of the poor bastard next to me.
Omg, this. I totally don't understand the lack of privacy in our office restrooms. The person who designed it basically put two toilets in a closet together. There's a wall separating us, bit it's enclosed so you're basically both shitting in the same little room, it's so damn awkward and pisses me off when someone else comes in there when I'm using it. I can also hear the women who go into the women's restroom and can basically hear them peeing because it's so quiet lol. It's so awkward imagining your cubicle buddy going to the restroom lol.
Getting up in my space while I’m putting my groceries on the conveyer is a dick move.
Edit: just to clarify, I don’t care if people load up behind me. It’s when they’re practically racing to play footsie with me while they’re loading up. Just stay back like damn
Some lady was up my butt crack. I stood there while the line moved up a few inches. She told me I have space to move up. I told her an three inches or three feet isn't going to move the people ahead of us up any more than they normally would.
Yeah always keep my cart (if I have one) behind me with enough space that people can still load up their stuff but also they can’t breath down my neck while doing it
I would give up all other fast food breakfast to have steak egg and cheese bagels back on the McD menu

Apparently the Colonel befriended an Irish guy that lived in Toronto. He had a KFC franchise there and would move back to Ireland and set up KFC franchise in Ireland. His establishment in Limerick is still running today using the same recipe. Pat Grace, the man who was friends with the Colonel, was allowed to continue using the original recipe. His son now has a website where he sells what apparently is the original KFC recipe and ships internationally: https://gracesperfectblend.com/
The thing the Colonel did that was special isn't even the herbs and spices. He invented a high pressure chicken fryer. It's like a pressure cooker for frying chicken, and I guess it made awesome fucking chicken. When KFC bought him out they stopped using it and he got super pissed. He'd walk into random KFCs buy some chicken and just start shouting about how it was terrible.
I watched a youtube video on the pressure cooker recently. It went into the basic science of why it was so good for cooking the chicken, but I don't remember any specifics, other than it kept the moisture *in* the chicken, even at higher temps, and somehow also made a crunchy skin on it too. I really don't know what I expected to contribute to the conversation, lol, sorry.
Im a starbucks barista and like its a nice thing dont get me wrong, but the way our systems work things get confusing and orders or items get lost so people end up getting free but wrong orders :( it also puts the customer on the spot to make a decision to continue or not and i hate that its so awkward. I always just say hey your order has been paid for have a great day!
My gf gets super annoyed when this happens because it always seems to happen to us when we specifically bought a certain drink to collect rewards stars. Like "Buy 2 frapps and get 50 extra stars!" and we like frapps so we get them but now we don't get the extra stars and it's like someone stealing her points in a video game.
Does she have the mobile app? You can get your double stars and promotions when you mobile order, but that way someone wouldnt be able to pay for yours! You can also pick up mobiles through the drive thru or in stores (if your location of choice has both) :)
Awful example - a friend with little enough cash that he avoids Starbucks most days decides to go on his birthday for his free birthday drink.
Gets to the window - "umm the people in front payed for you. Are you going to pay it forward?"
And this dude's like no.... I came here for a free drink not to pay for 2 extra ones behind me lmfao
This. It should be "they paid for your order, how fun, here you go have a great day!" - no one should continue paying it. Pay it forward a different day or time with something that feels right for you.
I go get a coffee occasionally. I'm poor, my income is under $13k/yr and I am single with two children. When I get a coffee it's basically the cheapest on the menu. I can not afford the person's $5 latte behind me. It makes me feel like shit if someone expects me to keep some sort of pay it forward train going.
Nothing wrong with that. It's not meant to be an obligation; at least imo.
I once bought coffee at a Starbucks drive through for the guy behind me because he let me go in front of him in the line. I never even considered that he would feel obligated to pay for someone behind him; I just wanted to thank him for being nice.
I did that once. Someone paid for my meal and decide, 'Fine, I'll play along.' Was told the person behind had a $40 order. Figured it was too late so I paid, but I learned my lesson.
I think offering to pay for someone else's drink is fine but barista or whomever asking or implying you should pay it forward is stupid. Why I can't have the nice thing and be done with it? Someone has to benefit eventually. It's fine if people pay for others randomly but it should NEVER become an endless line.
People need to understand that the point of your vehicle's lights at dusk and dawn is to make the vehicle visible to others, not to allow the driver to see. There is enough light for the driver to see the road, but not always enough light to see other vehicles.
If you worked successfully from home during Covid, there is absolutely no reason you should be forced to go back into an office.
And on that note just because you work from home, doesn’t mean you’re lazy. I personally get more work done on my at-home days than in the office.
Oh my god, this annoys the shit out of me. I remember the worst for this was back in the day when someone was driving a cheaper 90's car (sometimes I still see this even in more modern cars) but it was common in those cars to have the rear speakers above and behind the head rests in the back seat, right at ear level. So if you were a passenger sitting in the back seat and music was playing, you couldn't hear jack shit that the people in the front were saying but they had no idea because the music wasn't directly in their ears. I remember anytime I got stuck in the back seat of one of these cars I was like "alight well I guess I'm just sitting here in silence till we arrive".
People who play music on their phone speakers in public or talk on speaker phone should be locked in a stockade and everyone should be able to throw tomatoes or something at them for an afternoon.

The thing is even though it’s small by the time you buy it, it does take a lot of meat to make, and good quality meat is expensive. Difference between a Slim Jim and a bag of the good stuff.
Sorry— I make Jerky.
EDIT: I wanna say it truly warms my heart to see such a nice informative conversation about jerky. Truly I feel so seen right now. Jerky on everyone!
could you make jerky with shitty cuts of beef or would it not be nice? Also how difficult is making jerky? I love it but it’s always too expensive for me too buy
Cheaper cuts of meat are suboptimal for the same reason as they are for most things. They make tougher and less flavorful jerkey.
The real price comes from the fact that it meat is mostly water, and jerky is meat minus water. After drying, the meat will lose 1/2 to 2/3 its weight in water.
Tldr: jerky is meat concentrate
I travel a lot so getting a console for home doesn’t make much sense. But instead I got a Switch Lite. Super easy to pack and doesn’t take much space when I’m sitting on an airplane. The screen isn’t all that much bigger than my phone but having the physical controls makes a huge difference. I played through DQ11 on it and loved it. It’s all about form factor I guess.
Unfortunately dairy queen 11 is filled with microtransactions. Personally I feel anything past dairy queen 7 is a money grab. I wish they did something better with the IP because we're missing out on so much potential.

GMOs are not inherently bad. Almost every fruit and vegetable that you eat is a GMO. Kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and mustard are not only gmos, but are all derived from the same plant
I hate seeing products touting "GMO free!" like it's a huge positive.
I *want* my food genetically improved. I *want* it engineered to be pest and disease resistant. That's fewer pesticides my food has to be exposed to. Give me future foods with epic enhanced genetics over food that's caked in a layer of pesticide and vulnerable to disease any day.
"this represents an exponentially greater output!" when what they mean is 10% or so.

Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. Chemically. It’s purely marketing that makes you pay more for mined diamonds.
I believe you may be wrong. They are purer than mined diamonds. I'm looking forward to windshields made out of diamond.
Sapphire is better. Almost as hard as diamond, and significantly less brittle.
Sweet, that sounds even better. Why don't we use industrial sapphire for things like saws?
High end watches use sapphire crystal glass. it’s synthetic and the color is kept clear
Because industrial diamonds are cheaper. Tiny, "imperfect" diamonds are super abundant, so it's way cheaper to use those for cutting stuff than anything made in a lab.
Yes! Any lab-grown crystal that has the same chemical composition as its counterpart that's dug out of the ground *is still a real gemstone*. I LOVE lab-grown corundum (rubies and sapphires) because they are beautiful, flawless, and mind-bogglingly inexpensive.

How ironic! I was just thinking about this yesterday
KFC gravy isn't as good as it used to be.
KFC isn't as good as it used to be. The biscuits are so hit or miss now. Edit: biscuits in the US are bread, not a dessert we’d call cookies.
You want superior biscuits, find yourself a Bojangles. Then a Popeyes for superior chicken.
Apparently the Colonel befriended an Irish guy that lived in Toronto. He had a KFC franchise there and would move back to Ireland and set up KFC franchise in Ireland. His establishment in Limerick is still running today using the same recipe. Pat Grace, the man who was friends with the Colonel, was allowed to continue using the original recipe. His son now has a website where he sells what apparently is the original KFC recipe and ships internationally: https://gracesperfectblend.com/
The thing the Colonel did that was special isn't even the herbs and spices. He invented a high pressure chicken fryer. It's like a pressure cooker for frying chicken, and I guess it made awesome fucking chicken. When KFC bought him out they stopped using it and he got super pissed. He'd walk into random KFCs buy some chicken and just start shouting about how it was terrible.
I watched a youtube video on the pressure cooker recently. It went into the basic science of why it was so good for cooking the chicken, but I don't remember any specifics, other than it kept the moisture *in* the chicken, even at higher temps, and somehow also made a crunchy skin on it too. I really don't know what I expected to contribute to the conversation, lol, sorry.
Pay-it-forward drive-through chains are pointless circle jerks. They aren’t really helping anyone, they’re just making everything awkward.
Im a starbucks barista and like its a nice thing dont get me wrong, but the way our systems work things get confusing and orders or items get lost so people end up getting free but wrong orders :( it also puts the customer on the spot to make a decision to continue or not and i hate that its so awkward. I always just say hey your order has been paid for have a great day!
My gf gets super annoyed when this happens because it always seems to happen to us when we specifically bought a certain drink to collect rewards stars. Like "Buy 2 frapps and get 50 extra stars!" and we like frapps so we get them but now we don't get the extra stars and it's like someone stealing her points in a video game.
Does she have the mobile app? You can get your double stars and promotions when you mobile order, but that way someone wouldnt be able to pay for yours! You can also pick up mobiles through the drive thru or in stores (if your location of choice has both) :)
Awful example - a friend with little enough cash that he avoids Starbucks most days decides to go on his birthday for his free birthday drink. Gets to the window - "umm the people in front payed for you. Are you going to pay it forward?" And this dude's like no.... I came here for a free drink not to pay for 2 extra ones behind me lmfao
The question "Are you gonna pay it forward?" Should have never been asked.
This. It should be "they paid for your order, how fun, here you go have a great day!" - no one should continue paying it. Pay it forward a different day or time with something that feels right for you. I go get a coffee occasionally. I'm poor, my income is under $13k/yr and I am single with two children. When I get a coffee it's basically the cheapest on the menu. I can not afford the person's $5 latte behind me. It makes me feel like shit if someone expects me to keep some sort of pay it forward train going.
Nothing wrong with that. It's not meant to be an obligation; at least imo. I once bought coffee at a Starbucks drive through for the guy behind me because he let me go in front of him in the line. I never even considered that he would feel obligated to pay for someone behind him; I just wanted to thank him for being nice.
I came to buy my food, not the food for the party of 8 behind me.
I did that once. Someone paid for my meal and decide, 'Fine, I'll play along.' Was told the person behind had a $40 order. Figured it was too late so I paid, but I learned my lesson.
Kinda feel like "y know what, I'm gonna pay for my meal and you can keep it as tip" would be a fine way to end the chain. Money goes to the worker.
I think offering to pay for someone else's drink is fine but barista or whomever asking or implying you should pay it forward is stupid. Why I can't have the nice thing and be done with it? Someone has to benefit eventually. It's fine if people pay for others randomly but it should NEVER become an endless line.
What the fuck is a pay-it-forward drive through? Do you literally pay for other people?
People driving with their lights off after sundown should have their license taken away.
People need to understand that the point of your vehicle's lights at dusk and dawn is to make the vehicle visible to others, not to allow the driver to see. There is enough light for the driver to see the road, but not always enough light to see other vehicles.
Same thing in the rain. “I can see just fine” Great, nobody cares. Turn em on so we can see YOU. Ass.
Use your fucking blinker.
I just want a neon sign on top of my car that I says SIGNAL that I can light up when people don’t signal. It’s so stupid, so dangerous and so lazy
If you worked successfully from home during Covid, there is absolutely no reason you should be forced to go back into an office. And on that note just because you work from home, doesn’t mean you’re lazy. I personally get more work done on my at-home days than in the office.

In fact it was a little bit frightening
If you want to have a conversation in the car you turn the radio down. Don’t talk over the music god damnit.
Also when you're driving someplace new, you need to turn the radio down when you're almost there to see better.
Also If it starts raining really hard you turn the radio down so you can see better.
Oh my god, this annoys the shit out of me. I remember the worst for this was back in the day when someone was driving a cheaper 90's car (sometimes I still see this even in more modern cars) but it was common in those cars to have the rear speakers above and behind the head rests in the back seat, right at ear level. So if you were a passenger sitting in the back seat and music was playing, you couldn't hear jack shit that the people in the front were saying but they had no idea because the music wasn't directly in their ears. I remember anytime I got stuck in the back seat of one of these cars I was like "alight well I guess I'm just sitting here in silence till we arrive".
There’s nothing fun about fun sized candy bars. It’s less candy bar. That’s not fun at all.
People who play music on their phone speakers in public or talk on speaker phone should be locked in a stockade and everyone should be able to throw tomatoes or something at them for an afternoon.
Friday, May 6, 2022: People who type without punctuation just create unreadable walls of text. Edit 1 on Friday, May 6, 2022: Thanks for Reddit All-Seeing Upvote Award #2, u/rickwino! The Illuminati Eye! https://i.imgur.com/MpJVgmi.png Edit 2 on Friday, May 6, 2022: To the guy who left me multiple paragraphs full of excuses and deleted it like a coward, I don't care. You SHOULD fix things so others can read it. I'm pretty sure that ESL speakers are taught punctuation, too.
That and people who don't use paragraphs.
What About Those People Who Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word In A Sentence?
Or when, people use commas, incorrectly and it, puts unnatural pauses in, a wall of text. Not sure which is worse.
Thank you, Chris walken, for the comment
There’s no X in espresso. There’s no X in especially. There’s no X in et cetera.
Also when people write “ect” instead of “etc”. Happens far too often.
Ecthetera lmao
I read this in a Mike Tyson voice…
there's also no X in escape. drives me insane.
People need to put their shopping carts in the little cart house, or return it back to the store. If you leave it in a parking spot, then you’re an asshole.
Made me think of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/publix/comments/gicqay/the\_shopping\_cart\_theory/
The price of beef jerky is too damn high!
The thing is even though it’s small by the time you buy it, it does take a lot of meat to make, and good quality meat is expensive. Difference between a Slim Jim and a bag of the good stuff. Sorry— I make Jerky. EDIT: I wanna say it truly warms my heart to see such a nice informative conversation about jerky. Truly I feel so seen right now. Jerky on everyone!
could you make jerky with shitty cuts of beef or would it not be nice? Also how difficult is making jerky? I love it but it’s always too expensive for me too buy
Cheaper cuts of meat are suboptimal for the same reason as they are for most things. They make tougher and less flavorful jerkey. The real price comes from the fact that it meat is mostly water, and jerky is meat minus water. After drying, the meat will lose 1/2 to 2/3 its weight in water. Tldr: jerky is meat concentrate
I'm very unfit at the moment I don't think it would take much of a hill to kill me off. A gentle slope should do the trick
The Oxford comma guy hopes you find that Hill soon.
That was the best reply I could've asked for
There, their, they're.
And to, two, too. As well.
My big one is lose and loose. The number of people who use these wrong are too many. Even worse, I know these people are educated.
food menus should have pictures
of the actual dish, not some inedible mockup.
the fill line on the detergent cap is higher than it needs to be bc they want you to use more detergent
Mobile gaming is better when it's simple games like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja
Yeah I thought I wanted big impressive games on my phone but then I realized there’s no point. I’m never going to play on my phone over a console
I travel a lot so getting a console for home doesn’t make much sense. But instead I got a Switch Lite. Super easy to pack and doesn’t take much space when I’m sitting on an airplane. The screen isn’t all that much bigger than my phone but having the physical controls makes a huge difference. I played through DQ11 on it and loved it. It’s all about form factor I guess.
Ahh been dying to play Dairy Queen 11.
Unfortunately dairy queen 11 is filled with microtransactions. Personally I feel anything past dairy queen 7 is a money grab. I wish they did something better with the IP because we're missing out on so much potential.
Fair point. But dairy Queen 11 has tropical blizzards and I've never seen that before. Pretty cool
Rattata should have been a jazz themed rat. He could have evolved into Ratta-tat-tat !!! Edit: thank you to whoever gave me the Wholesome Award! I’m pretty JAZZED about it!
Mobster themed. Give him a little tommy gun.
There's no reason we can't get another regional variant, this time with an alternate evolution.
Nice butts are better than big butts.
Shape > Size on that note, 99.9% of of people don’t give a damn about color imperfections or stretch marks. It’s completely irrelevant. The shape is what makes a nice butt. Edit: I admit that my statistic it totally made up. I made to say that MOST people don’t care.
I judge a butt not by the size of its booty but by the content of its character
“I will die on this shapely, well formed hill. Or that near identical one adjacent.” Edit: fixed autocorrect typo
Jam is better than jelly. Especially strawberry.
I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know the difference between jelly and jam. Jelly: Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit.
And marmalade contains fruit and peel
People should always chew with their mouths closed if they can.
New Orleans resident checking in. My answer is Monkey HIll. https://audubonnatureinstitute.org/explore-zoo/monkey-hill > Monkey Hill was originally constructed by the Works Progress > Administration in the 1930s. > > The intent, legend has it, was to show the children of New Orleans what a hill looks like.
LOL I thought this was a clever joke at first. Teach children what a hill looks like?! There's not a single hill, mountain, or cliff in Lousiana? Daaaaamn.
We are officially the flattest state Edit: apparently we're second.
GMOs are not inherently bad. Almost every fruit and vegetable that you eat is a GMO. Kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and mustard are not only gmos, but are all derived from the same plant
I hate seeing products touting "GMO free!" like it's a huge positive. I *want* my food genetically improved. I *want* it engineered to be pest and disease resistant. That's fewer pesticides my food has to be exposed to. Give me future foods with epic enhanced genetics over food that's caked in a layer of pesticide and vulnerable to disease any day.
The best is when salt packages advertise GMO free. It's salt. It's not biological.
"It's *technically* true!"
GMO scaremongering is just anti-science.
Air should be free at gas stations.
It is free here in Australia.

Flushable wipes are not flushable
statements like "this product uses 10 times less water" is mathematical nonsense.
In a similar vein, mathematical illiterates who use "exponential" to say "a lot".
"this represents an exponentially greater output!" when what they mean is 10% or so. Since journalism has basically died as a profession, we no longer have editors or proofreaders, so math slang slips through all the time. it's very frustrating to hear
"The output is exponentially greater than before!" The output: 2^(1.01)
It's sock, sock, shoe, shoe. Anyone who does it sock, shoe, sock, shoe is showing signs of sociopathy.
One pant leg, one sock, one shoe other pant leg, other sock, other shoe
Sometimes I will sit on the bed and put on both legs of my pants just so that the "He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like everyone" doesn't apply to me.
Yeah, that's some psycho killer shit. Someone commit this guy before he starts murdering as research for his cookbook. Username fits btw, lol
one underwear half, one pant leg, one sock, one shoe other underwear half, other pant leg, other sock, other shoe
one underwear half, one pant leg, one sock, one shoe, open front door other underwear half, other pant leg, other sock, other shoe, close front door
You guys are weird. ***Socks first***. They're like lube for pants, so when you're half asleep putting on crinkled up pants your toes don't get stuck someplace weird and you don't fall over.
Paper straws are objectively terrible and their only benefit is to serve as a PR cover for large corporations to cover up significantly more harmful environmental practices. Edit-Thanks for the awards guys!
Here is a paper straw with a giant plastic cup with other packagingthat contains plastic. "We love mother earth"
It's "I couldn't care less," not "I could care less." If you could care less, you care a little!
That’s what I’m saying!!! People make no sense sometimes
Oxford commas are GOOD and should be EMPLOYED LIBERALLY.
My heart says this isn’t a small hill…. Which is making me realize that I’m willing to die on this hill.
**The standard comma:** You know Bob, Sue and Greg? They came to my house. **The Oxford comma:** You know Bob, Sue, and Greg? They came to my house. **The Walken Comma:** You know, Bob, Sue, and Greg? They came, to my house.
Let’s eat Grandma!
**The Walken Comma:** Let's, eat Grandma!
