They’d have much more success if they wrote “DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON” on the actual button.

The physical inequality, just like OP’s example, always makes it more egregious.
- Comment on Calm down 13 hours ago:
It is. You’re absolutely right. But right now nobody’s seeing anything but the 50-Foot Tall Woman, so they can’t think about your logic. Maybe see if swinging one more of those Marines into the fence will be enough to help you get control of your rage. No actually better use the Mayor, he’s an insufferable prick.

Personally I would still prefer to hear chill, maybe you stumbled on that person’s trigger. Or perhaps it’s an age thing. I associate it with peers, but maybe for them it’s parents.

That’s a good one!

- Comment on Calm down 20 hours ago:
So use any one of the multitudinous other phrases available in English to actually HELP them become calmer or less agitated. Respond to the facts of the individual situation instead. “He’s not worth it.” “You’re better than this/you have been doing so much better, don’t let this set you back.” “You’re in a bad trip man, gonna have to ride it out as easy as you can.” “Chill, dude.” “Take a deep breath.” (This may be followed by one loud long scream, but that’s cathartic and may be followed by rational behavior)
Nobody, no matter how much they need to get control over their emotions and behavior, needs to “calm down”.

The most incendiary 2-word phrase in the English language.
It’s belittling and aggressive and dismissive all at once.
Even saying something as similar as “get a grip, man!” has a much better chance of success.

Thanks for editing not deleting because TIL!

Modern fish are often dark on top and light underneath to fool prey/predators but also often colorful. Why do they assume one evolutionary step over the other? That beautiful blimpie belly calls out for decoration!
- Comment on Hit it and quit it 2 days ago:
That’s correct according to the “at conception” crowd! Why have silly words like “embryo” and “fetus” when you can just call it a “baby” or “person” and give it the same complete lack of medical and financial assistance as the born children and people in your red states?

In my garden the dandelions turned out to be Sowthistle. Which should be handy if any hungry sows show up on my second-floor apartment balcony.
- Comment on The Very Hungry Kittypillar 1 week ago:
Yes, and everything that can be proved to be impossible is also science.
It would be cool to have a specific instance for children’s book memes, though.

Fun and possibly helpful fact: it’s got a BPM of 114, which makes it suitable for compressions-only CPR!

- Comment on Where on the internet would you discuss a specific case of a potential exploitation of a minor within the adult industry"? 1 week ago:
It’s not a thing you discuss, it’s a thing you report. If you aren’t sure, report what you do know so they can open an investigation.
- Comment on dual immunity (see body) 1 week ago:
I’ve never been wakened by a bear, but so many times by babies! Not lately, bc I’m old and they somehow survived to adulthood. But I’m glad my sleep deprivation was not compounded by blindness.
- Comment on Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds 1 week ago:
So where do we get our funding? I’m thinking about a billion, if we call it The Big Beautiful Golden Study, sponsored by plastic and dishwasher manufacturers.
- Comment on Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds 1 week ago:
Interesting thought, we’ll have to include it in our study. I posit that the microparticles from hand washing will be larger anyway, because method, and will include plastic from the scrubber as well as the containers.
- Comment on Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds 1 week ago:
Hotter yes, but no plastic-on-plastic scrubbing. And not reusing the water wouldn’t change the amount of plastic, it would just be diluted in a larger amount of water. My guess would be, larger particles. But I can see why that would have to be its own, more complicated study. Because so many more variables.

And yet somehow it lasts forever in a landfill.
We can’t win.
- Comment on Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds 1 week ago:
Betcha scrubbing them in the sink does too. It’s just harder to set up a controlled study.
- Comment on Draw an arrow to each temperature 1 week ago:
Tbh so did they, (see arrows) but 31 wasn’t one of the choices. Tbextrah, there’s infinite temps in between the full degrees.
- Comment on Draw an arrow to each temperature 1 week ago:
Only if you count 0 and 30
- Comment on Draw an arrow to each temperature 1 week ago:
“Draw arrows from each of these temperatures to their place on the thermometer.” And put the temperatures above the thermometer.
- Comment on Draw an arrow to each temperature 1 week ago:
Because it’s the number of temperatures (or rather the increments between them) on the thermometer. Which you just counted by drawing an arrow to each one. It’s the right answer to the question they didn’t realize they were asking. 💯 A+
