For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way, I don’t give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.

    The medical symbol of the staff with the snake is only supposed to have 1 (one) snake on it. A staff with 1 snake is the Rod of Asclepius (the son of Apollo and Greek demigod of medicine), a staff with 2 snakes is a Caduceus which is carried by Hermes as a messenger or herald.

    Physicians get 1 snake. Couriers and heralds get 2 snakes. Any medical professional or organization that uses 2 snakes is wrong and needs to go study the humanities and classics for a bit.

    If someone offers you something you don’t want, simply say no thank you. Don’t say “no I don’t like that” as if you are 4.

      Problem is this more often than not results in “awwww come on, why not?”

      So many of us NDs have developed the method of explaining why we decline when we do so to just avoid the point. No, I’m not feeling that right now, thanks anyway! Works wonders

    Load the goddamn plane by column, window seats to aisle seats, grouped by odd/even seat numbers and make people line up largest seat number to smallest. It takes an extra five minutes before you board the plane and saves you twenty or thirty. It wouldn’t even cost you the five if it was the standard.

      I’m with you generally. The whole boarding experience causes a tremendous amount of anxiety for me to the point that i’d rather drive for anywhere I can get to with a <16 hour drive.

      MythBusters had an episode related to airplane boarding. If I remember right, the current scheme is the fastest, but it’s due to the fact that everyone can’t follow the rules.

    Pluto is a MOTHER FUCKING PLANET

    It has enough mass to deform into a spheroid, it orbits on the major plane of every other planet.

    “Clearing their orbit” is utter bullshit, Earth hasn’t even cleared its orbit that’s why we get the Perseid and The Leonid meteor showers.

    Fuck you NDT, I know you didn’t start it but you SURE as FUCK popularized it.

    And I will literally fistfight any of you who disagree idgaf where or when.

    The seventh planet from the sun should be called Caelus not Uranus. All the other planets get named after the Roman equivalent of their respective god, why should that one get special treatment just so people can make puerile jokes.

    EDIT: spelling

      I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

    replace ‘I purchased …’ with ‘I bought …’. Just something about the p word grates my nerves… Suspect it’s something like using the word ‘moist’ for some people. probably some forgotten trauma over something I bought.

    Nuts only make sense in something that’s already hard, like a cookie. It complements it by going from something hard-ish to another hard-ish texture.

    Nuts in cake DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. I hate having to chew something smooth and spongy and suddenly - CRONCH. It’s repulsive. 99% of the time it also tastes worse than the cake itself. If you actually want to put nuts on your damn cake, put it on the top so I can slide it off and eat it separately. Thank you.

      While not quite as passionate as you, I agree. Nuts don’t help cake.
