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
plus, back then, writing in caps didn't mean "yelling"
Load More Replies...If you dad was in the Military, that's how they are taught to write, old habits are hard to break
When I was little and saw many adults not just men write this way I thought it was the coolest thing, my Mum did it, which was most excellent because then it was easier to forge notes to school from her, already had the signature down pat, just needed the all caps writing to give it that authenticity. The one time in 4 years that a note got questioned was one she actually did write lol
Their fingers are too thick for the intricacies of a finely postured cursive.
Strange... my dad had perfect picturesque "This should be a font" handwriting... byproduct of his day, I suppose...
Because YELLING is our default method of communication when we have children, EMMA
Actually my mum does this and not my dad. It's because she learned cursive before she learned printing so she never really prints
Also, Thats how you type if you have been in the military. Written orders were always in all caps :P Less chance of reading it wrong i guess? :)
Legibility, and the one track mind. Shifting gears between lower and uppercase is cumbersome.
I am not a dad or even male, but I do this on anything that requires print only as a mix of dysgraphia and having been taught print, cursive, and how to type all at the same time as a kid only wound up making me good at one of those things and the other two badly morphed into one
Fortunately it is all typed at my surgery. The pharmacists used to get extremely irritated with all the phone calls to the surgery asking for a clue as to what the doctor meant.
Load More Replies...OMG...every single one of these posts was my Dad and some of them even my husband...
You are a bit rude in your questions. Why do you think they are "trying to prove anything" Emma??
our penmanship sucks... we write like that when we want it to be legible.
Writing any kind of report for the military, police force, fire dept. etc. Using all Caps was (and is) required.
When my daddy taught me to do this, he specified it for any official paperwork (mail forms and the like), explaining that it prevented any confusion from your lower case letters; like whether you wrote a "g" or a "y", for example. However, he did end up writing like that on everything and I feel like it's a habit he can't break that came from years of paperwork he had to fill out when he managed a plane hanger in the Air Force. Perhaps a lot of dads got this habit from being servicemen?
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.

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!

Load More Replies...Half of these remind me of my dad, some of the others remind me of me. Lol
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...
