- Comment on 15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees. 1 day ago:
I can always tell when it’s about 0 because I can feel a great tingle when I breathe in through my nose.
Hard to describe, but I’m sure you know what I mean.
- Comment on E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles. 2 days ago:
This is actually a really good one.
- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 2 days ago:
Trust me, in 6 months your tune will change when they make you submit that form again to prove that you’re still broke. It’s such a tedious process that often gets fucked up by the office after you turn it in, you’ll feel like you deserve even MORE than they’ll give you.
- Comment on Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution? 2 days ago:
What did you call me?!?
- Comment on How would you describe that post sneeze smell? 2 days ago:
I can’t describe it, but I know EXACTLY what you mean.
- Comment on I don't actually read the news. I surmise the news based on memes that begin popping up for which I have no context. 2 days ago:
Whelp, guess I’ll die.

Really, your probably still getting plenty of information without all the stress.
- Comment on Americans rarely refer to the US as America 2 days ago:
Could be regional, but I hear it quite often.
There are some instances where it feels more correct to say US, but for everyday use I probably say America more.
- Comment on What are we being distracted from? 3 days ago:
Our own mortality.
- Comment on Most food animals are smarter than a baby. 3 days ago:
It might not really be in the spirit of the post, but it’s because of the brain. They take a lot of power to fuel, so to keep that big brain running, we have to skimp on things like mobility. Babies can be pretty dumb, but, they’ve been learning a LOT. They just can’t tell you about it yet, but they will soon, because unlike the pig, they are listening and they are learning.

They say it’s the opposable thumb that sets us apart, but no, it’s the butt cheeks.
- Comment on Why aren't there more mice with 360° scrolling? 4 days ago:
Maybe try the Nintendo Power Glove?
- Comment on Geoguessr, but actually fun 4 days ago:
I’ve learned that I am really bad at this game.
Thanks for sharing!
- Comment on Does it happen when the law arrest a drug kingpin or whatever and they off the cops something like 10mil a piece to let him/her go? Has anyone ever actually taken it? Or is movie trope? 5 days ago:
There’s a convicted felon in the White House right now.
- Comment on Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective? 5 days ago:
Starting a business and hanging a sign outside your location is a form of advertising, but I would say it’s more useful than predatory.
- Comment on Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective? 5 days ago:
This question leads me to another one: Where is the line between informative and predatory?
If I truly need something and I don’t know it exists and is available, then some advertising would be beneficial to my life, but we’ve all seen what that turned into and what a trainwreck modern advertising has become.
Is there a “good” amount of advertisement, and how could one prevent that from becoming the cesspool we have today?
- Comment on If you have to throw punches, make sure to punch upwards. 6 days ago:
You can’t pull off a sweet uppercut by punching down.
- Comment on Is there a word, perhaps as 40-letter compound word in German, that explains this annoying social phenomenon? 6 days ago:
I hate that. So much so, that when I do get a chance to see my friends I haven’t seen in a while, I always try to remember what I wore last time and avoid it.
- Comment on Are there any cultures where kissing is taboo? 1 week ago:
Transfers, yes, but if you’re careful, those germs on your hands will never get to your face, but a kiss is direct infection.
- Comment on Are there any cultures where kissing is taboo? 1 week ago:
Fun fact! I never knew!
- Comment on Are there any cultures where kissing is taboo? 1 week ago:
No, but there are so many American sub cultures, I didn’t want to try to include them all or speak for any others.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s the illusion of democracy. We are voting to fill these positions, but we might as well be picking ponies at the track. If they wear out favorite color and we like the sound of their name, then we vote them in.
And every year, the corporations parade their puppets about and we choose the shiniest one.

'Murican male culture isn’t real keen on kissing. It is reserved for your romantic interest. It would be very inappropriate to give a peck on the cheek or even blow a kiss to a friend or acquaintance.
To clarify, I don’t mean American culture, I mean 'Murica. White Christian small town America.
- Comment on Is it better to follow your parents footsteps and help them with their thriving small bussiness, but you have to deal with toxicity, or trying going your own way and risk homelessness? 1 week ago:
In most cases, I’d probably recommend the family business, but your parents are abusive and they should have as little involvement in your life as possible.
- Comment on Tot be heard 1 week ago:
ALWAYS relevant.
- Comment on Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women? 1 week ago:
It has to be the same person, right?
- Comment on We've grown fat with information, but are starving for wisdom... 1 week ago:
And they all have Chlamydia!
- Comment on We've grown fat with information, but are starving for wisdom... 1 week ago:
We consume information like Koalas consume eucalyptus.
We stuff our faces with toxic filler with little to no nutritional value, until we get sick and pass out. Just to wake up and do it all over again.
