  • Remember freedom fries? I remember seeing a paper taped to a menu once that said "freedom fries" over what I now know we're just regular French fries.

    Didn't know why people were calling it that at the time, but looking back... Damn. I wonder how our high school French teacher was doing....

  • The way a lot of people in the comments are talking, everyone is a psych/sociopath. Sure, it can happen, but the percentage of the population with such tendencies is so low, it makes it ridiculous coming from someone who doesn't carry an umbrella everywhere.

    Sure, it's sunny, and there's nothing to indicate it will rain in the hour I'm gone, but every so often it happens and I'm prepared.

  • Like.... Legitimately I'd rather be single and never worry about it, rather than be that terrified of something like that.

    Can it happen? Absolutely. I can name two people I know personally it happened to.

    But to just assume that everyone is like that, and that the person you place your trust in will betray said trust and to think otherwise is stupid....... Like.... Just stay single then and stop trying to make other people as miserable as you?

    I trust my wife, and I trust our separate bank accounts. If I need something, she sends it. If she needs something, I send it. My parents have their own accounts, as well as a joint account. They set all three up at the same time when they moved to the state.

    Someone who mistrusts every single person to that degree, including their own spouse, is in need of therapy, because something needs to be worked out. And therapy works.

  • After a brief glance over it, I do believe this is the one I was thinking of!

    Man, I need to edit and print this out and leave it in my mother in law's mailbox and wait for the inevitable social media meltdown about Satanists or something.

  • Not saying polls don't have their worth, but you can make polls say basically whatever you want.

    "poll of 2,000 people of varying ages, genders, backgrounds" when they stood out in front of a music theater to get opinions on modern rap music. The results are biased because of how they collected them. Yeah, technically everyone coming out of that theater fits your "different ages sexes" and so on, but they're all going to have strong opinions based on why they have gathered in common interest.

  • Dippin dots almost went away for good! lucky for them, the plant-based meat substitute industry needed a way to get little drops of fatty stuff cooled down so it could be easily mixed, like fat is distributed through hamburger.

    And wouldn't you know it, Dippin Dots had a crazy idea...

  • Pro: it... Um..... It goes.

    Con: gas mileage, body damage, rust everywhere, air vents don't change and only spew hot air, gas mileage, interior is falling apart, every other month it's refusing to hot restart for a couple days, it's cramped in the foot and head space, gas mileage, and there rods are going to need replaced soon.

    And honestly the gas mileage kind of sucks.

    If I could get an EV, wall battery, and solar/wind combo I'd be content.

  • Well if they're anything like my own relatives who are giddy that "it's finally happening", have you brought the parallels between their antichrist and a certain ex-president?

    I did, and now half the family refuses to acknowledge my existence at family reunions. So it worked out pretty well for me.

    I remember a few years ago coming across a website that had a huge list of over 100 things, referencing various Bible verses and then giving their real world parallel. I've tried looking for it again, but can never seem to find the right one.
