Dads First Meme
Off the meme tangent: I'm confused as to why colleges are getting rid of printers beyond their excuse that it's to save paper. I know that a large percentage of college students have a computer, but what about the ones who can't afford this level of technology on top of grotesquely expensive text books and all the other extreme costs required to attend college?
He could make a ton of money charging people $5 to whack a printer with a sledge hammer.

Plot twist: Sun tea is a thing.... and it's good. For iced tea, though, not British-style hot tea. And you'd make up a huge amount of it at a time.

Shiba Inu are actually very difficult to train. They are very cat like. Not a good choice for a first time dog owner.

The dog looks like an Akita puppy. My favorite dog of all time was an Akita named Countach (Tash). He lived to be 14 and was the best protector of my little daughter I could ever imagine. I still get a little misty eyed when I think of him and he wasn't even my dog!
It's a floofier version of the shiba, an akita! They get absolutely huge!

Here in Britain the Christmas stuff appears in the shops long before the Halloween stuff, sadly.
The only good thing about the early presence of christmas stuff is early access to Panettone.
Load More Replies...And remember, if people can start celebrating Christmas in October, then we can start celebrating Halloween in August!
I don't know who started the "Christmas in July" thing but I hate it. No, I don't care that you "love" it, it is horrible and you are horrible, too.
Our local Walmart started selling Christmas trees around September 17 last year. I wish I was kidding -_-
Perhaps it's time for the pagans to take back Christmas since it is NOT Jesus's birthday. The Romans co-opted the rowdy pagan holiday of Saturnalia. It's just a commercialized hoax. Christians spend more time buying presents than sitting in their churches.
Don’t forget about what they did to Oestre! They just made up their own holidays to cover the Pagan ones.
Load More Replies...Today is July 11. I was visiting a western New York state Walmart today. 75% off July 4th decorations.... Huge "back to school" aisle (end of first week of Sept), And Christmas ornaments being put out(!!!) But no sign of Halloween....
When I worked for walmart in college, Christmas stuff got shipped in August. And that was like 15 years ago.
Today one of the chains put up a whole section of christmas stuff, advertized as "July-Yule"
I wanted a friend to declared that he saw Christmas stuff in his local Walmart in August that year! I am deeply saddened to report that I have seen Christmas stuff as early as late September and early October!
That And Single-Use Toiletries
I kinda like hotels, even cheap one, as long as they are clean. It's a nice change of scenery. I don't have to deal with anything. I am fine with just lying on the bed relaxing.
Tbh I love it when I get home from a trip but there is something about hotels man, like having breakfast every morning, then sightseeing, chilling, then when you go home you bring home those free little notepads and toiletries, it's amazing
Those two weird girls in the hall, inviting me to play with them...
"Single use toiletries" ha ha....New York is doing away with those...we lose everything over here
I honestly never minded the idea of hopping hotel to hotel while I travel the world. Some people think it seems lonely, but I think you get more out of reaching out to new people and places. Material stuff won't matter in the end
As a kid, you must have heard people say, "Don't put your elbows on the dining table." This rule has been handed down through generations; however, it has become irrelevant due to changes in dining etiquette.
During medieval times, people sat around long, communal dining tables where a lot of people squeezed into tiny spaces or sat side by side chatting while enjoying meals together; hence, putting elbows on the table was impractical since it would make it difficult for people seated near you to eat comfortably.

Manners
I've heard a different story. When you're on a boat, it's rocking around, right? So when you're eating, you would want to hold your plate between your arms to stop it going off the table? Elbows on the table was something that sailors (read: poor, disreputable people) did. And you wouldn't want to look like a poor person, right? /s
Load More Replies...I would think not belching or farting at the table would take precedent over elbows.
We learned that there were much worse things you could do than placing your elbows on the table.

It's like an army of vaginas marching through mud.
Load More Replies...At least for me, it makes the table feel crowded and I get uncomfortable. So I don't like when elbows are on tables while eating.
My mom still enforces the no elbows rule. Doesn't matter that we're adults. She still yells at my dad about it too. :) It's an engrained habit for me now.
How about giving some up votes to @CrunChewy McSandybutt. There's absolutely no reason for the down votes..
I don't like when people talk while they chew because I don't trust myself to save their life if they choke.
I hate the elbows-on-the-table rule. My parents only enforced that rule when I was really young, but they didn't follow that rule either, so I think they were just messing with me, lol. I'm tall and my arms are pretty long, so where the heck am I supposed to put my elbows!?
Apparently, as a kid, whenever my mom put her elbows on the table her grandmother would smack her arm right out from under her and if my mom faceplanted her food or the table then so be it. While absolutely not a nice thing to do, it's a very entertaining mental image for me 😅

That's what happens when you censor the truth. Smart people find ways to circumvent censorship. And a 4-year-old smartass has much better tastebuds than us grownups.
Many of us might be afraid of swallowing gum, as folklore suggests that it sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested. But that’s not really true.
Naturally, gum is not supposed to be swallowed, as it can’t be easily digested or digested at all. However, it doesn’t mean that it remains inside the body. It is passed out as waste, just like anything else you eat.

As an American that also happens to be insulin dependent diabetic every single time I read about that my blood boils! My insulin is $300 a month! Its ridiculous!
I have a diabetic brother who went through temporary homelessness and the lack of insulin due to no money has led to him having ketoacidosis damage to his kidneys. His life is permanently shorter now. F**k this "American dream".

Cause you can file a claim when the power goes out and all the stuff in the fridge freezer goes bad. I would like to see it play out in court if they deny the claim.
One way to go at insurance for this is to say "So, should I go to the ED to get the insulin then?" They do math and decide they don't want to pay 15k instead of 800
Contrary to popular belief, your wet hair, as well as the wind or rain, are not the reasons you catch a cold. The flu is caused by different viruses that can survive on indoor surfaces like doors.
The common cold is mostly caused when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with contaminated hands. However, we should remember that cold weather can weaken our immune system, making us susceptible to viral infections.

This seriously upsets me. If the dog/wolf/canid attacks me, it is NOT allowed to make sad noises. Only angry growls and barking.
Also, do you know how rare a wolf attack is? Why do wolves and bears keep trying to kill me Skyrim? I'm just minding my own business, bear sees me from 10 kilometers away, and it just has the urge to maul me.
Load More Replies...And please, please make them act more like wild animals would in the wild. Only video games wolves/bears/etc. attack on sight all the time. Makes me wonder how many people grow up thinking they're as dangerous as they are in video games when the actual risk of attack is so low if you're not bothering them and they're so much more likely to attempt to avoid you. The gamers who still want to kill wild animals can still go bother and chase them if that's their thing. Also, I vote for every game to have an animal friend perk to eliminate having to hurt animals if you don't want to.
It's ironic how Minecraft is the only one to do this right - polar bears only attack if u start it or u get too close to a cub

This is the first time I have ever heard of requiring a parent's signature for sex ed. What happened if they don't allow it?
Load More Replies...With the writing skills kids have nowadays, they would instantly be able to tell it wasn't a parent who signed it. My 25 year old is the only one of my 5 kids who has decent handwriting. My other kids (late teens and early 20's) sign their names like a 5th grader. They need to bring back handwriting classes.
A dads way of granting power of attorney to you over your own school life. I approve!
That's why my mother never let Dad sign anything from school. His writing and mine were too much alike and she was afraid that I'd get in trouble for forging his signature.
I always signed my own notes. I figured the teachers don't know my signature, especially if it's just initials and a decorative strike through it.
I have the same initials as my mum. When my sister started school, my mum was hard to pin down to sign things (undiagnosed ADHD) so I just started signing all her forms. Obviously I told her about it, and checked before taking money for excursions.

The misconception that eating carrots makes your night vision significantly better is based on the fact that the vegetable is rich in vitamin A. However, while carrots can help you keep your eyes healthy, they won't grant you superhuman night vision.

I was dragged from the table, across the kitchen and locked in a conservatory by my grandfather for not finishing one tiny bit of meat. I had to stay there whilst the rest of the family ate their pudding. I was not given any. And yes I do remember it in vivid detail even though I was only 3 years old. I have an eating disorder as an adult.

Soooo important. I tell the story about how in the 3rd grade I came home telling my parents that I liked a certain political candidate running for office. My dad LAID INTO ME about how that person was trash. Dude, I couldn't even vote, I was just repeating something a classmate said which she probably learned from her parents, so why did he care? The only thing I learned from that interaction is that I couldn't tell my dad anything important. So I haven't.
This is the core issue with adults raising children. For an adult it is just another meaningless interaction. They have fully developed personalities and loads of memories weighing them down. For a child, their world is so small and underdeveloped that everything at that stage is a huge deal. How adults forget this I will never understand.
They forget because of the loads of memories weighing them down. It's important for us older folk to listen to the young adults so that we *don't* forget.
Load More Replies...This. I grew up terrified of my mother. Meanwhile, to this day she insists that she 'doesn't yell' and we're all exaggerating, and gets offended and passive-aggressive if you bring up any of the incidents.

I'm just an internet stranger, but I'm so proud of you for how far you made it. So let me say it, I love you, friend.
Load More Replies...On the other hand, my mother remembers and regrets things she said, that I have no recollection of.
As foggy as my memory is, I still vividly recall my mother forcing my picky-eater brother to sit at the table until he finished his meal. He was gagging. Hours went by. Literally, hours. He was just a kid. I hated her then. I still hate her now.
I remember one time, I must have been about 12 or 13. I got really angry with my grandmother over something insignificant. Ten seconds later, I had calmed down (I had a really bad temper, when I was a kid) and I apologized. She just held me in her arms and said, I know you don't mean it and a love you. She died of cancer when I was 14.
That's the way it should work - everyone loses it sometimes, the thing is it shouldn't happen all the time, and they should know you don't hate them, you're just angry at something they've done, but it'll pass

My 3yo son sat entranced for half an hour in a store watching the demo dishwasher with a transparent door once. Cheapest child minding I ever found. I too wish I could have bought it. Maybe there is an opportunity here to sell replacement acrylic doors.
I never thought of that, but now I do want a dishwasher with transparent doors.
I used to watch cookies bake in the oven. It was good fun. Especially if I didn't have to take them off the cookie sheet when they were done.
Yet a dishwasher often tries to gaslight you about the time it takes to do a cycle.
What about the fridge? Complete opaque, a blank white slate, doing God knows what to your food while you live in ignorant bliss...
It's a fallacy that shaving causes hair to regrow darker and thicker. Shaving removes hair from the surface, leaving behind a blunt tip that feels coarser and looks thicker when the hair grows back.
Shaving, however, has no effect on the thickness, color, or growth rate of hair because these are influenced by hormones and heredity. The texture and look of the hair revert to normal as it grows out

When I was in high school, I had a friend who was taking French. I said, "Je ne sais pas," and one of our other friends asked what it meant. I said, "I don't know." My French-learning friend couldn't stop laughing.
My first French teacher decided to teach that phrase by quizzing the class on vocab and then suddenly asking, "What does 'Je ne sais pas' mean?" . She called on me, and when I of course said, "I don't know," she just got this huge grin and said "Correct!" I was absolutely befuddled at first.

I’ve visited a school during covid and multiple kids were holding hands in a circle and running down the hall way at the same time, no idea how they did it. They yelled something about getting covid and that’s all i heard
I guess they mean little kids. I worked in highschool (11 to 16 year olds) and the children were way more sensible than the average supermarket full of adults. It was a school that by UK standards would at best be described as 'challenging'. On the whole, they were not afraid for themselves, but worried that not distancing might result in them hurting family members. Some took delight in the fact that with masks on it was way harder for teachers to work out who was saying bad words, and most were annoyed how complicated dinner time became. But they were happy yelling insults at a distance.
I kept telling a child to pull her mask up. Finally she put it over her eyes. I did what anyone would do. Took a picture and sent it to her mother. 😃

Everytime I tell someone that sharks are harmless and dolphins will kill you they think I'm going insane I swear, better educate these people and may I note all these people are older then I am
Not true, though. I agree the risk sharks pose is very, very low, but the risk dolphins pose is also very, very low, and significantly lower than that of sharks, as low as that is. I'm afraid you've been influenced by the collective internet amplifying some bad information that is seriously hurting the reputation of the amazing, intelligent, rarely harmful and sometimes helpful dolphin.

Which video? I watch most of the EmKay videos and haven’t seen it recently lol

The woes of being heavily into Finnish folk metal. The good thing is you can usually assume they're singing about alcohol and the consumption of alcohol. Either that or something with forests and winter and forests in winter.
I've started introducing my redneck brethren to folk metal. Thematically there is a lot of overlap with country music.

Nah I agree with the first poster, I have sisters and a mother and we don't look THIS similar. Genetic relationship doesn't mean "same face different hair".
Both points are accurate to be fair. Disney IS lazy, but sometimes genetics do produce very similar results. They're just using that "fact" to be more lazy I'm sure lol
Both girls eyes are closer together than the Moms. Ana's nose is much longer than either Elsa's or the moms, and is upturned slightly at the end whereas the other two are not. Very similar, yes. Copy/paste...not even close. This is the opposite of lazy. They made them.similar enough to look related, but not the exact same. (Unloke hand drawn disney.Those guys were straight up copiers.
Literally the same animations with different clothes drawn over the top in the old days and this is what they decide is lazy!

I get this. If you see me with my Mom, I look exactly like her (only chubbier). If you saw me with my Dad, OMG - I'm the spitting image of him. My parents look absolutely nothing alike.
I look like my dad. My sisters look like my mum. I don't look anything like my mum. But we three together look same

I think the reason many of us just couldn't grasp the concept of NFTs, is because we couldn't believe that was all there was to it. Like, people are buying internet pictures that anyone can just screenshot? No, that can't be right.

This guy is a pro geoguesser player. He's so good, almost to beyond belief. I bet when he see a lawn, not only he can identify the country, but the city you are in too. In many cases, he can even find the exact location. Just from a single photo. He is that good. I kid you not! Watch his youtube channel, Rainbolt. You'll be amazed.

Load More Replies...Tumblr Users Learn About Thoughts
When my wife is out of town, thoughts of her are quite intrusive. And welcome. And wonderful.
And there exist people who lack that inner voice and think only in images.
I once looked after a person diagnosed with schizophrenia whose voices were a running commentary about how fantastic they were and what a wonderful day it was. Positive intrusive thoughts and hallucinations
My language has a phrase for it, roughly translates to 'pleasant fiction'.
Talking to your self about literally everything is sometimes suffocating. They got that right.
I think good intrusive thoughts do very much exist. Imagine you‘re mad or very sad, but suddenly a random joke or funny memory pops up in your head. You don’t want to laugh right now, but here you are.
Then that is a welcome thought. Think about a home intruder, if they are welcome we call them visitor or guests. An intruder is unwelcome with hostile intent.

Load More Replies...Specify Europeans please. I'm Dutch, on holiday in France and I miss the Dutch bread. It probably wouldn't hold as long in this hit weather, but the bakeries here don't have as much choice as in the Netherlands. So it's country dependant, not continent.
Also, the Netherlands has a culture around (sliced) bread for breakfast and lunch, it's the main ingredient often and we have lots of toppings.
Load More Replies...I love bread, but sliced bread here in the US is awful, I want more fresh baked bread please
Even walmart has non-sliced, non factory produced loaves of bread. They might not be fresh fresh, but a day or two old. If you live in a place to small for a big mega store like that, and you don't have any local bakeries, you can still probably find frozen dough at the store and bake it up fresh if you don't feel like going full DIY

This one drives me nuts. For the love of God. What you see at the gas station is not bread. We don't buy that. What you see in the bread aisle is not bread. Don't buy it. Likely, in the very same grocery store is a bakery. Buy your bread there. Or go to a bakery. They are everywhere. From every nationality. I can choose Russian, or Ukrainian bread. Just in my neighborhood. Or I could get Ethiopian. Or maybe I want Vietnamese baguette. They are here. Just go there. Gas station bread is not bread.
Are you under the impression that cake is just bread that someone dumped some sugar into?
