high-school-in-movies-vs-real-life
I remember one time in school, I was walking down the hall with my books in my arms. A random bully ran down the hall and slapped them down, hard, sending all my stuff flying everywhere. In a movie, everyone would point and laugh. In movies, that sort of obvious bullying of a nerd would be treated as funny and normal. In reality, the other kids gasped, and a few random kids stopped and helped me gather up my things. I remember one girl saying, "That was so mean."

In The Queen‘s Gambit, when Anya Taylor-Joy's character loses control of her life, and she’s sitting there in a satin nightgown with perfect hair and makeup. Sure. That’s what I look like when I lose control over my life too

When adjusting seasoning at the end, if you've added salt and pepper and the dish still feels like it's 'missing something'. Add a splash of an acid. White/apple cider Vinegar, lemon, lime etc. Use as appropriate for the dish.Prior-Initial-1255 reply
If you take a dry paper towel and place it in your bag of spinach or kayle it will last months instead of a week and the bag will always be dry instead of building condensation and wilting the leaf.nlwric reply
Get all your ingredients out before you start and put them away as you use them. Saves you from realizing you’re out of something halfway through or forgetting if you added something already.S_K_Farms reply
Cooking is an art form, baking is science. You can think of a recipe like a suggestion and improvise accordingly, but when you are baking, precise measurements and methods make all the difference. -Cheers!

It’s silly but adding toasted sesame oil to any rice dish, but especially stir fry. Heck, even a simple chicken and rice dishes are a million times better with sesame oil added

Sliced peppers and onions can go straight into the freezer fresh and come straight out and into the hot pan, no need for thawing.

Every recipe blog has a “jump to recipe” button somewhere near the top. Discovering that I could skip the backstory made me way more open to searching for new recipes.

Start with a completely clean kitchen and empty sink(s) and a lot of the time you can serve dinner and have 80% of the cleanup completed as well.

The jeep in Jurassic World still being in perfect operating condition, with viable fuel, after 20+ years in an abandoned garage. Caught myself saying "That's so unrealistic" out loud, watching a movie about man-eating genetically engineered dinosaurs.jenn-ger reply
Any movie where they plug a flash drive in and get it right on the first try without looking.

Independence Day, when Jeff Goldblum plugs the Apple into the alien ship and infects them with a virus.

I get distracted when I don't understand how a character is earning money, or they have a lifestyle that seems unaffordable with the job they're supposed to have.

In the The Day After Tomorrow I was totally ok with all of crazy weather and crazy explanations for what was happening. I was even mostly ok with them running from “the cold” as they barely made it in to the roof of a Wendy’s, but when they started grilling circle shaped hamburger patties instead of square shaped patties inside that Wendy’s, that was it for me. Everyone knows Wendy’s has square patties, how dare you!! I just could couldn’t take anything seriously after that point.Show All 16 Upvotes

"Oh, you're a linguist? How many languages do you speak?" "The correct thing to ask a linguist is, 'Tell me something interesting about languages/what you've been studying' - and then prepare yourself for a 30-minute monologue on something that is of no interest to anyone other than linguists but will make the linguist very happy that someone is showing an interest in their work."high-school-in-movies-vs-real-life

I have a perfect story for this. Last Friday night I was a chaperone at my daughter’s prom. I had been observing the students dancing and enjoying themselves to notice one girl, without a date,standing just on the periphery of the dance floor slowing swaying to the beat. She never danced with the group,but appeared to want to. The last slow dance of the evening started and to my heartwarming joy a college aged young man, a brother of one of the students, walked confidently over to her, politely asked her to dance, and focused on her the whole song. At the end of the song he bowed and stepped away, all with cool grace. Never once was he bothered or seemed to be focused on anything other than her enjoyment at that moment. He was raised well.SnuggleBunni69 reply
When I was like 6 my parents smuggled a12 year old illegal Mexican immigrant over the border to come live with us. Her parents wanted her to get an education in the states so she lived with us for awhile. As a kid I kinda just thought it was a thing everyone did.bgsufalcon9 reply
Every year for Easter my parents would set up a video camera in the living room over night so that we can "catch" the Easter Bunny in the act while he hid our baskets and colored eggs around the house. We would go to bed right after we set it up and started recording. After about 20 min of recording a stuffed animal bunny would be hopping around the living room using a stop motion technique that my parents used, hopping around hiding our eggs and baskets. As kids we thought it was absolutely amazing that we caught the real Easter Bunny in the act. When we would have family over for Easter dinner we would show everyone how sneaky and clever we were that we got it on camera. Kinda weird but I cannot wait to do this to my kids one dayhab1b reply
For a while (ages 4-8?) my mom would make us our favorite foods for Thanksgiving. Rather than the normal meal my sister and I would choose two things we wanted. I always chose chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. My sister would usually choose Salisbury steak and something like scrambled eggs. Then we would have some veggies also. I always thought it was super awesome because usually we would only eat food I thought was gross like shepherds pie or buttered noodles. Turns out right my after my dad left we were s**t poor and my mom could not afford traditional holiday meals. I was lucky enough to be born to an amazing mother who has since done very well for her and her children. Even when we were poor I never knew it, we still did cool s**t ( i thought ) like back yard camping trips, hunting for dinosaur eggs on the weekends at the quarry. It was all fun, just had to be free was all. Tilly Jean • upvoted 2 items 3 days ago
