“Canadians Can’t Just Casually Come Here, Either. But Apparently Their Wildfire Smoke Is Like ‘No Passport? No Problem!’ 😒”
Elladine DesIsles 1 hour ago (edited)
Dear USA, we were trying to smudge the evil and insanity out of your government. Unfortunately, there isn't enough white sage on Earth for that, so we had to improvise. But seriously, I promise, the smoke was miserable here in Canada, too. Not to mention the many Canadians losing their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. But sure, blame us for the basic scientific facts that your public schools aren't allowed to teach.

12 Is The Highest Number On The Clock,
LakotaWolf (she/her) 55 minutes ago
Before everyone comes at us stupid Americans, please remember that we are not taught 24hr time (what we call "military time".) It is not taught to us in school - we are taught 12hr AM/PM time. All of our clocks are 12hr clocks, not 24hr clocks. We are not used to 24hr time. It's not because we are "stupid", it's because we're ignorant XD Yes, we can learn it, and this person above IS an idiot because they didn't even know 24hr time exists, apparently, but we're not all just inherently turning away from 24hr time because we hate it XD We're unlearned.

"Do People In China Get American Letters Or Words Tattooed On Them?"
Justin Case 36 minutes ago
I can read Chinese and Japanese. I used to work with a guy who thought he had a Chinese tattoo that read "greatest surfer". It actually read "wet pants". I met another guy who thought he had a Chinese tattoo that read "cool guy". It actually read "frozen sausage".

Elladine DesIsles 29 minutes ago
Yes, the Untied State. It's just floating around somewhere, hovering above the dumpster fire that is the current country of America, completely untethered to the maddess. Actually, that doesn't sound like a half bad strategy, under present circumstances.

How The Hell U Wash Ur Hands?
Lady Gypsy Rain 12 minutes ago (edited)
I do have to wonder how they work that though. I envision a back and forth motion between the two taps. Or is the hot tap better able to control the temp and you only need that tap? Sincerely, I’m educated and have lived overseas. But when I lived in Europe, I was a kid and I really don’t recall running into that setup. Please don’t judge me harshly. It’s just been one of those things that always left me wondering.

Lady Gypsy Rain 2 minutes ago (edited)
Oof. The pictures I have of me as a kid, in Germany, not yet allergic to the cold. Out in bundled layers in massive amounts of snow. But now I’ve developed the craziest allergy I ever heard of and break out in hives and my throat closes if I get cold. And I’m talking 50 Fahrenheit being cold enough to trigger this stupid allergy
