Once during a phone call, my family needed to know the dimensions of something at my brother’s house. He couldn’t find a tape measure, but he had a jug of milk. We determined that the item we needed to know the dimensions of was the size of the height of my brother plus one milk jug.

I’m confused though. Don’t people use this to talk about how small things like bugs can fall from a large height and be uninjured, but large things like a human or elephant will be injured if falling from a height? I feel like what you’re saying is backwards to what the internet has told me.

Plus why put this here instead of in the NSFW instance they came from?

I weirdly see a lot of these “yes…but…” Comics everywhere and I don’t get like 90% of them tbh.

It’s honestly pretty good even though it’s rather simple. I look at some paintings from like the middle ages and wonder why no one seemed to actually learn to draw until more modern times. But there was definitely an artist in this cave individual.

Nah, something more catastrophic. There are drains in the floor in the lab and sewage started randomly bubbling over and spewing out of them. Just made for an interesting Friday is all lol.

Coincidentally enough, we had a shit water incident on my lab just earlier today lmaoo. Love it when sewage seeps into the lab and the hall.

I’ve only tried weed gummies. I don’t really like the thought of stuff going into my lungs.
Anyway, I don’t seem to get anxiety with them, not they make me feel like I’m sick with the flu…except I’m hungry instead of nauseated.

I live in a hot, humid environment. Keeping bread in the fridge helps it to stay good for multiple weeks. If I leave it out, it molds way quicker. I also sometimes will store bread in the freezer to keep it fresh even longer if I know I’m just going to make toast out of it.

It’s a “feature” of Google photos and whatever the iOS equivalent of that is. You can just turn it off if you don’t want to see it.

My job involves organs and sometimes I take photos for various reasons, often to demonstrate something to a physician or to cover my ass (identifying patient info is removed from the photo…not a HIPAA violation). Sometimes my phone likes to show these as memories lol.

Similar experience but with an absolutely massive cockroach (“Palmetto bug” for those wondering the scale). I freaked the fuck out lol. I thought my arm was just itchy but it didn’t go away and I looked down and started flailing everywhere.
Sometimes I have an itchy feeling and get paranoid that there is a bug on me. And there almost never is so usually I ignore it. But occasionally there actually is a bug on me so I’m not just imagining!

- Comment on And they don't fold well either 4 months ago:
I don’t get how people use so many pillows. I like a single, somewhat flat pillow. Anything too fluffy or more than one pillow is just way too tall and would make my neck bend. Do you multi-pillow people sleep partially sitting up or something? I sleep on my side or stomach.

Tbh I always assumed these AI search results posts were fake. I did the search and got the same weird result from TikTok highlighted at the top.

I thought I read somewhere that your social security card wasn’t initially at all meant for proof of identity and shit that we use it for today, which is why it’s made of fragile paper. But I didn’t actually look that up to verify so idk.

Bro I get company shills exist, but that’s a big level of paranoia right there.
I swear, some people on the internet act as if you even mention a company name, that you’re some sort of paid corporate shill. No, man, sometimes I just talk about every day things in my life lol.

How does that work? I feel like I would just end up wanting to vomit. Not that chocolate milk is gross, but it’s a bit heavy for working out.

Omg yes exactly! I’ve not heard this comparison before but it is spot on!
- Comment on Remember when planes and hospitals had smoking sections? (Probably a lot of you do not). 4 months ago:
I was only a kid when we still had smoking vs non smoking sections, but I remember how odd I thought it was back then.
The pungent smell of smoke permeated the air throughout the entire restaurant. Usually there was not even a door separating smoking from non smoking. Idk what they were hoping to accomplish.

I was with most of this until the selective breeding part. Did prehistoric humans have a concept of this? Do we have evidence of that? If so, that sounds rather interesting. I’m just a bit skeptical is all.

I do know what you mean. Idk, I feel like when in a small enough community as it is being on Lemmy. Only so many people will see this anyway. We’re already a fringe group.

Oh my fucking God I was so startled and amused that I made dying horse noises. Well done, OP.

I did notice he had many moments of straight up disbelief on his face at the thought that he is seriously supposed to be debating these man. I felt for him when he made those faces in those moments.
But this isn’t one of those. Most of the time it just looked like he was absolutely terrified and distracted by something we couldn’t see off screen that wasn’t Trump.

I don’t really care about Ghostbusters, but I found this to be a really interesting video. He seems very wise with a lot of his tips and explaining why he does things the way he does.
One of the things that he mentioned that I also have personally found helpful is he said something about pre-portioning snacks so you don’t eat too much.
It’s so incredibly wasteful, but for snacks in my house, I prefer to buy the bulk packages of snack sized portioned snacks (whether it’s chips, nuts, etc.). Thing is, I know it’s so incredibly wasteful for the environment to have things individually wrapped. But when they are individually packaged like that, it’s a hell of a lot easier to see and understand just exactly how much you’re eating and usually stop yourself before you get too deep. Sure, it’s more economical and wasteful to buy a giant family sized package of chips. But when I have to open each individual 150 cal snack bag, it’s a lot easier to stop at only 1 or 2 bags.
