  ooh, hamburger as in, ground meat? For me a hamburger is always the round puck of meat between buns, makes more sense if it’s just the generic name for the meat itself!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great Depression: Part Deux⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I’m European, could someone explain what Hamburger Helper actually is?? I’ve heard the brand name before and assumed it was just some kind of seasoning powder for making hamburgers, but this image looks more like it’s more like powdered sauce base for a whole range of random meals?

  They’re like 1/3 neck 2/3 torso! You can actually kinda see where the neck turns into the torso because of the difference in thickness, I marked it with a green arrow here:

  It’s a lot easier to see in person though since the chest moves when they breathe so you can be sure that’s where the lungs start.

  Fair, there probably isn’t any correlation, I’d just like to believe that I’m smart because I’m good at saving 😆 Although my last IQ test (during my Adhd evaluation last year) wasn’t much over 110 anyways, so I don’t even count as smart on paper haha

  Since the current chart goes from solid to liquid, would the extended chart include gas and plasma?

  I’d be curious to see a chart like this but with savings or some other form of stored wealth! Because I’d like to believe that smarter people might not earn that much more, but they’re more diligent about saving what they do get

  That’s exactly the point, dog trainers do quite often use commands in other languages so that the dog doesn’t hear the command words in everyday life and gets desensitized to it.

  …can you read? I’m saying that the default is that everyone pays for themselves. Paying for someone else is a niche situation that you need to actively seek out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Being this weird about not paying would be an instant no for me. Around here it’s the norm that everyone pays for themselves on a date and even implying that someone will want you to pay for them is pretty rude. The only non-rude way to pay for the entire date is to ask for the full check when the waiter comes before the other person can ask to split it. Usually with the line “I’ll take this one, next one’s on you ;)” which doesn’t really mean that the next one’s on them but is more about the implication that there will be a next date.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable placement a little weird, but the ergonomics are excellent.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m always so boggled by how people can’t (or don’t care to?) distinguishing between their basic rodent species. Common rats, Mice and hamsters look very very different if you give it even a second of thought. Yet any time I watch clip compilations of rats there are always clips of hamsters and mice (sometimes even chinchillas!!) mixed in there.

  So, for anyone who wants to learn some basics on how to distinguish them:

  rats

  picture of a rat Wikipedia
  The biggest tell is that they can get pretty big. A huge (larger than your hand) rodent that doesn’t look very overweight will almost always be a rat. The overweight ones will probably be rats too, people tend to overfeed their rats. Their face shape tends to be more square and blunt than in mice, especially when you look at them from the side.

  mice

  picture of a mouse There are a lot of very different Mice species (especially when looking at wild mice) but if you had to know just one it should be the Fancy Mouse. It’s not really a species, just the term for mice that have been selectively bred for domestication, so they can look vastly different in color and fur texture, but the overall body shape is somewhat consistent.
  Generally, mice stay fairly small (generally smaller than your hand) and their head to body ratio is somewhat different compared to rats (I’m actually not sure what exactly looks different, maybe less neck? It just looks different when you look at them side by side)
  Their ears will also be bigger than rat ears (though large-eared “Dumbo” variations are a thing for both mice and Rats): Picture 1 is a Dumbo Mouse, Picture 2 is a (young) dumbo rat:
  Dumbo mouseDumbo rat

  hamster

  There are two variations of hamster you should generally know: the larger Syrian Hamster or Golden Hamster and the Dwarf hamster , which isn’t a species but more of a catch-all term. In captivity, a Dwarf hamster is usually going to be a Campbell, Roborovski or Djungarian Hamster (or a mix thereof).
  Syrian hamster
  Syrian hamsters are larger than dwarf hamsters and Mice, but usually smaller than rats (some very fat hamsters exist of course). They only have a very short stubby tail and a round face. Very round if their cheek pouches are full.
  Syrian hamsters are strictly solitary and extremely territorial, you should never keep more than one in one cage (optimally, you wouldn’t even have more than one in your house). They will kill and eat each other on sight. Don’t let anyone tell you that “it works for their hamsters”, it does not. Dwarf hamsters
  Dwarf hamsters are way smaller than Syrian hamsters and about as large as a mouse (depending on the species ofc). They’re pretty recognizable because they’re very round. Usually they don’t have a tail either, with some species being an exception and having a slightly longer stub.
  The biggest difference to Syrian hamsters is that Dwarf hamsters are very social!! Generally, you should never keep them alone, as they bond to each other and build social hierarchies. Solitary Dwarf hamsters can die from the stress of loneliness. It’s sometimes even recommended to keep your groups number even so that so hamster is left out when every one else bonds as a pair.
  Keeping a solitary Dwarf hamster is less dangerous than keeping a pair of Syrian hamster though. Some people say that they can make it work by interacting a lot with the dwarf hamster so that they don’t get lonely. I don’t really know if that’s scientifically proven though.

  bonus round

  Here are some more common pet rodents you might want to know about:
  Chinchilla
  Chinchillas: Big boys, need a lot of space to run around and sand to bathe in.
  Gerbil
  Gerbils: About as large as Syrian Hamsters but usually pretty lean looking. You can recognize them from the fact that their tail is covered in fur. Guinea Pig
  Guinea Pig: You might confuse them with hamsters from a photo, but they are way way larger and more square, especially in their face scape. They’re also pretty vocal, so you’ll hear them coming lol.

  Yup, even the specific species names aren’t consistent between languages. The species that is most commonly called African Soft Fur Rat (Mastomys natalensis) in English is called a “Vielzizenmaus” or “Mouse with many Nipples” in German. The German name is way better, they are more closely related to mice and their fur isn’t that much softer than on any other rodent. I don’t know how many nipples are a normal amount for rodents though, maybe they’re perfectly average
