People Are Sharing The Things That Dads Do But Nobody Knows Why, And They’re Spot-On (30 Tweets)
There are many things we humans still haven't figured out. Like, what came before the big bang, will AI eventually overtake us, and why do all dads grunt when they sit down. Or why they take grilling so seriously. In fact, there are probably more mysteries about dads than the universe. To try and get to the bottom of them, people have started Tweeting them, and the questions perfectly describe every dad in the history of dadness. The sad part, however, is that even with all that attention, most of them remain unanswered. Science is one way we make sense of the world around us, but it appears that even rationality can't explain everything.

Because they do not want some fancy s**t. They ask what they need.
Well I'm not a dad but I do take grilling or any kind of meat cooking seriously. I mean the animal had to die so you can eat it, the least you can do to respect that, is being really focused on making it really delicious :D
THANK YOU! I can't tell you how many times I've tried to explain this to my household.

You can keep best before items for longer, it is just that the quality can reduce and also for companies to cover their arses legally. For example milk usually has a best before but you can usually still consume it a few days later. Check the smell and check for lumps. Cheese as well is fine as long as it hasn’t turned green and fluffy etc. if it doesn’t look right, feel right, taste right or smell right then don’t eat it.
Because they paid for it and, damn it!, it's gonna get eaten!
We eat the food no-one else can/ will because we payed too much money for it to go to waste
Because they remember the times when it wasn't ok to waste good food.
Because the date is not something that automatically means something is bad.
Dad, grandma, Mom - oh wait... just me 'n' my broke-a*s immigrant family...
Oh, man! Not in my house! My husband is a refrigeration tech and sees some really disgusting things in commercial kitchens, so he goes absolutely nuts over expired foods. I was making deviled eggs for a family dinner and they were ONE WEEK past the expiration date. He accused me of trying to kill him. It's just one of his "things". I think it's rather silly, but I respect him so I respect it.
if it doesnt smell bad, doesnt taste bad or doesnt look bad it aint bad.
if it's not growing fuzz it's still good. Besides, an extra 30 seconds in the microwave will nuke any bacteria growing on it that isn't growing fuzz yet!
My dad paid the price for this after eating out of date pineapple XD (yes, you can get food poisoning from pineapple)
My friend used to work for a dairy company and was responsible of making sure safety was respected on the products they made. She told me they were so worried something could do wrong that the expiration dates on yoghurt were weeks too early.
"expired" and "best before" are two different thing, are you sure you reading the label correctly?
My dad is so paranoid about expires food. Like he makes sure I don't eat expired food and I haven't lived at home in years
Because if they don’t taste like it’s expired it’s not expired For example: expired ham, daughter “this expired a few weeks ago, I don’t think it’s good dad”, dad “ lemme taste it,( bites ham ), naw, it’s still good. A few days later he complains he has diarrhea
I've used eggs up to two months past the date. The yolk just doesn't sit as high and when you boil them, they're impossible to peel. To test, first shake the egg, if you feel something moving, toss it. Second put egg in a pan full of water, if it floats (due to gas build up), toss it. Third , if you crack it open, and suddenly all the oxygen is sucked from the room and your nose tries to literally run away, toss it.
I don't ... but my wife apparently has no problem with it. Honestly, I'm half surprised she's still alive.
I'm a dad and I don't eat expired food or feed my daughter any of it. These questions are pretty stupid.
Dad no mom yes she gave me food poisoning because "it says best before that doesn't make it bad after" yes it does mom you dont get sick because your used to it
I half agree with you and half not. I had the same experience - my mother gave me eggs that had expired two weeks earlier, and while she was fine after eating them, I definitely wasn‘t. So yes, being used to it is a thing. But still, many foods are still fine after the best before date and shouldn’t be simply thrown away.

The mirrors and seat clearly need to be adjusted, because the car is so badly parked they need to move it.

Dad joke: What do you call an elephant that doesn't matter? An irrelephant
What do you call a cross between an elephant and a rhino? EllifIknow! (you may have to say it out loud to get it).

The transition is a slow one...my husband has been a dad for three years now, he is between the "yello" and "will fall asleep as soon as he touches a sofa" stages....he hasn't morphed into the "free mints" or "loud sneeze" stages just yet...but I know its coming!
Load More Replies...This post was great JUST because of the quick witted comebacks everyone posted underneath them. Well played everyone.
I don 't know about all of these but I miss my dad so much :(
I love how this entire post's comments were dads justifying why they did said stuff 😂
Some of these are really fun, but some are just being stereotypical, or don't make sense.
I wish they would stop shortening the posts! Some of the ones they deleted were pretty funny!

Wow, L. W., daddy issues or what? This was supposed to be a humorous thread.
There are some really dumb questions in this thread.. why do kids always ask dumb questions instead of thinking?
Why did people feel obligated to provide answers? I was hoping for funny examples/experiences but instead got smart alecks
so i am a dad of 2 girls and i just read all of these tweets and i dont do any of them at all..none of them. Does that make me weird?
I enjoyed reading the comments on BP to the postings much more than the postings themselves!
Feel more like why are those people asking stupid questions about very relevant things dads do...
