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.

They think sleep is for the weak and they don't wanna be weak OR they know falling asleep in front of a loved one is rude and they don't want to be rude to their loved one

This is the "at ease" pose that many servicemen are used to. He's relaxed but observant.

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

because it is okay - expired doesn't mean it's gone bad (not a dad, not even a mom ;) )

It depends on the food. Some people will throw foods away after the “best before” date. 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 the date is not something that automatically means something is bad.

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'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 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?

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.

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.

Dumb question. Answer - Easier to get out, easier to load/ unload the trunk when it isn't facing traffic, Dads don't see it as a special showy thing, just an obvious thing to do.

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

Secret for you...we hate texting. We are not 13 yr old girls. A 30 second phone conversation can take the place of 20 text messages and misunderstandings.
