12 years old is old enough not to cut a giant fart at the dinner table. I get the humor of the situation and everything, and thats a funny comeback, but what in the actual fuck?

FML. My wife has terrible taste in movies. Last night she wanted to finish this. I was like fuckit, it can't be as bad the alternatives she suggested. It was worse than I imagined. The summaries early in this thread about girl power magic are spot on, but those summaries were far more...

Eh, fuck names spelled "creatively". Thats actually a good use of auto correct. I wish the whole world would get on board. Like from the DMV to online registration forms, when you enter in in some creatively spelled bullshit it just goes oh you spelled your name wrong, let me fix that for you.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj9223 City people are crazy and now we know part of the reason why. Turns out urban humans have a fucked up gut microbiome that doesnt digest fiber properly. Rural humans have it. Wild apes have it. But city people don't. Combine this with the...

Excel autocomplete. If I type AB20, and hit enter, it records "AB20" in the cell. So far so good. If I then type AB2, and hit enter, it fucking records "AB20" in the cell. No you fucking asshole. I didnt hit "tab enter". I didnt click on a suggested phrase. I typed "AB2" and hit enter. Fuck...

This is one of the biggest structural probems with the airline industry. They're not serving a meal. They barely serve peanuts. Why the fuck do we need 7 stewardesses or male stewardesses? I suggest zero is a reasonable starting point and you can try to argue it up from there. Maybe 1...

I agree with you, its a common piece of ridiculousness in most action movies. I'm just saying theres usually some kind of halfassed excuse why maybe its OK. The dudes a super spy. Or part alien. Or a ninja, or something. None of these really explain it but they all make some small gesture in...

Fell asleep early, so can't properly review. Lasted long enough to watch the heroine - a normal human girl - repeatedly fall 100+ feet onto solid rock, and shrug it off both times in a flurry of Girl Power. I imagine by the end she probably solod the dragon in unarmed combat, but what I saw...

Another post implying that theres some mystical quality about "good rice" that only Asians can detect. But without even a basic description of what makes a difference. Rice is rice. Give me at least a description of the difference you imagine you're detecting. I'm reminded of the famous...

Bandwagon, my point is theyre both (fremen and empire) literally alien invaders. neither has some kind of inherent right to the planet. It makes the colonizer complaint ridiculous.

Its hilarious how all the leftists are criticizing this as "colonizer fiction". (e.g. CNN) Complaining about colonizers. On an alien planet. The ones who get there first are magically the good guys and the ones who get there second are automatically the bad guys. The funniest part is how...

this was a great analysis and I cant disagree strongly with it. but I do think you're underselling Bene Gesserit. The detailed descriptions of Bene Gesserit sex magic in the last two books makes it sound like a pretty tolerable option, considering the alternatives.

Only theaters I've ever been to that served food were Alamo Drafthouse in TX so I dunno how they do it elsewhere. But nobody was eating a "five course meal". You'd order, you'd get served your food and drink, and then just enjoy the movie. Less disruptive than the typical asshole texting or...

yeah, its terrible being able to have a burger and a beer while watching your movie instead of overpriced popcorn and candy terrible

They actually got a Mandela effect reference in this episode "The joke doesnt work if you don't know who Nelson Mandela is!" "I know who he was" This is great, I dunno what people are hating about it.

Yeah its so much more fun when we all only post about the subjects we have specific, formal training in. If only we'd all follow your example.

I mean the obvious issue here is the automation. There was no human involved in the landing, not even a remote operator. Any human could go "oh shit a rock" and steer a foot to the left. But instead of correctly learning that lesson about the limits of unmanned space flight I am sure they'll...

its mcdonalds, arent the patties all steamed or microwaved? In any case, fresh cooked is too much to ask for. Youre not getting it. Freshly assembled is the best you can hope for.

See this was your problem. You don't ask for fresh. You ask for no ketchup or mayo, or something like that, so they have to make it fresh.

yeah, its nuts. we had this brief golden age where you could easily search for recipes on the internet, and it looked like cookbooks were dead. then the modern internet ruined recipes and cookbooks are lookin pretty great.

Don't be mad theres a brief, skim-it-in-2-minutes article about it. Instead be happy its not a 50 minute Youtube video with exactly the same amount of content.

I put this in spoilers only for those who are wondering whether to watch it I dunno if they're gonna fuck up the ending but if you like weird reality bending theories this show is great

what? obviously its sheeple

Reading this debate about "when machines have agency" makes me think a lot of people are still missing the importance of LLMs. Its not that they're a real boy now. The important point to grasp is not about them at all. Its about us. Its that a large fraction of human thought and speech is...

I discovered the 220V heater in my sons bedroom was wired using one leg from a 110V circuit in his room and another leg from a room on the other side of the house. Electrical work isnt rocket science but some of those mother fuckers I swear must just be wiring shit by trial and error. "what...

All you guys talking about how these goggles are so clunky and dumb remind me of me 10 years ago. "Nobody's gonna give up browsing the web on a real monitor and start using a retarded little 3x5 screen instead, thats so dumb" You're all forgetting, clown world has no limits, and the dumber...

I've read the books a dozen times and never once walked away with the impression that Paul's Jihad was being presented as a bad thing or a cautionary tale. Wasnt it a necessary part of the Golden Path? I don't recall Leto ever looking back and cursing Paul for going too far. He always...

Part way through e2, this has a lot of promise. Heres hoping it doesnt go the way of True Detective S3. (Lost used to be the reference point for fucking terrible endings, but obviously that records been blown out of the fucking water now)

this. they literally showed a giant fucking frozen sea dragon then in the next scene its already forgotten. The "it was all purgatory and fake" ending to Lost was better than this shit. Just astonishingly bad and dumb. Literally doesnt even attempt to explain a single one of the shows...

Wait, what? You seriously can't think of any disadvantages to putting your DNA (and the DNA of all your relatives by association) in a government database forever? The limit of your imagination on this subject is a plague engineered to kill one teacher? I think you lack imagination. And also...

Both S2 and S3 were unwatchably boring. Pointless. Nothing happened, no reason to care about a single one of the characters. At least not in the first half of either season, even I reached my limit of pointless self punishment after that.

A sandwich combo plus 12 nuggets isnt food for one person.

I said Loki you fucking weeb Its been like one page and you already got it wrong

I don't know if tiktok/youtube or the people who actually do that behavior (scrolling and watching video after video) are the root cause of the problem. All I know is they both need to go on the fire for the human race to persist.

Yeah y'all are going with some totally different (and bizarre) definition of the word likeable. Joffrey was a great bad guy. No one called him likeable. The Alien in the original Alien was a great monster. No one called it likeable. That annoying bitch who played the head of Vought in S1 of...

In this case it's straight up gmo, not breeding

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/02/06/1228868005/purple-tomato-gmo-gardeners This is an interesting case for the GMO debate. I'm sure we have some GMO opponents on this forum. What do you think of this one? Genetically modified, but using a naturally occurring process (albeit a...

All this talk about "I don't like any of the characters" makes me wonder if everyones forgotten Breaking Bad. Not to say this shitshow can be compared to BB in quality. Just saying you can have a show where every single character is a hateable piece of shit, and still have a great show. Not...

I don't get the TVA hate. Loki is the best MCU since Endgame and its not even close. Why *not* build on that?

Don't get me wrong. California burritos were great, I ate the hell out of those things when I lived out there. I just always laughed at them and wondered why they didnt just make two normal sized burritos instead.
