  • You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.

    I don't think I do know actually. But here's an attempt at answering this question anyway:

    And bonus, anybody know why that happens?

    We are usually very quick at relating sickness or even discomfort to the food we ate at the time or slightly before. This is a very valuable trait to avoid food that is unhealthy or even poisonous. But it's only based on correlation, so it can turn us off food that is not actually causing the sickness but we just happened to eat at the time.

  • a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred

    The fact that most of the times the stigma only clings to the person selling and not the person buying makes me think that this is actually a negligible part of the stigma.

  • Are you telling me your fairytale wedding does not include doves hacking out the eyes of your stepsister or your stepmother dancing to her death in shoes of red hot iron? Boooring.

  • I'm sure he would have believed he could.

  • the bill's language and topic caused confusion; a member proposed that it be referred to the Finance Committee, but the Speaker accepted another member's recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could "find a deserved grave".

    An assemblyman handed him the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.

    I hope medicine in 1897 was up to the treatment of these burns.

  • To be fair though, there are way more cows than crocodiles, snakes, sharks or deadly spiders in the UK.

  • Adding to what the other comments have already said: Don't bring an unleashed dog on a cow pasture. You'd think that's common sense, but apparently it's a bit of a meme in Austria and Switzerland that every few months some German get's trampled by cows because their totally friendly dog ran towards the cows and they felt threatened.

  • What happens to people who rent out an apartment in the house they are living in? This is not uncommon, where I live. Grandma lives in a small separate apartment in the house, she dies, the apartment is rented out. Sometimes a child moves in later or the parents move in and a child takes over the house.
    If these people risk losing a part of the house by letting someone else rent it, my guess is that they would just stop renting it in order to be able to leave the whole house to their children. Which would leave even less homes on the renting market and a bigger share to big corporations.

  • Ever heard someone say "I really put my foot in my mouth"? That's what they are trying to find out.

  • I'm almost of average height for a woman in my country. Even if I thought height mattered, I would have very little reason to feel insecure about it. But since men are on average taller, I still count myself as being part of the short people.

  • Fair. But there's no stepladder that will help you mimic my power of sitting comfortably in trains, planes and busses.

  • You have opened my eyes. I just shaved off my eyebrows and plucked out my eyelashes.

  • I do this all the time. I print two pages on one A4 sheet (or rather four, two on each side) and then fold them so they are like a leaflet.

    That's the main advantage of the system – you don't have to design things differently depending on how big you want to print them. You can scale the same design to an A6 flyer or an A2 Poster.

  • I mean, the fact that most animals don't understand long distance running is what made humans apex predators. So joke's on you, animals!

  • I'm sorry, I never can resist poking the bear.

  • It must be unbearable for them.

  • They do things the way they want while I'm doing them the way I want. Which is clearly the superior way (though they disagree).

  • They also stopped dating them at some point apparently, so I'm not sure what you are trying to say. It's not like the early stages of dating usually involve mowing the lawn or cleaning the house together so that's something you only find out after having already found plenty of other things to like about this person.

  • Self-care always makes me feel better. I prepare something nice to drink–tea, wine, beer, depending on my mood—and a tasty snack, then put on one of my favourite audiobooks or TV shows and treat myself to a hot bath or foot bath with a relaxing bath essence.
