I was talking with some friends and we both had distinct memories of opening ant hills and throwing other insects in there just to see them get eaten alive. We also talked of "bug fights" where we would get 2 bugs in a box and attemp to make them fight. Did anyone else do fecked up stuff like that,…
Carbonated water beverages seem to have been a hit lately. Parrier, bubly, other brands. They all taste absolutely horrible to me, even the ones with added flavorings. They taste extremely bitter and chemically. Maybe it's the carbonic acid, but I don't get this taste when I drink something like…
Speaking as someone who lived under communism. Same story goes for Americans who live in suburbs telling me that apartments are better, while I get 3 hours of sleep because apartments are shitty and you can hear every possible fart. Just tired of arguing with people who never experienced something…
Genuinely curious. I just saw a white girl doing an amazing cosplay for Moana on instagram and the comments were destroying her. Edit: I'm not talking about blackface, which I know it's wrong
My 2 sons (15) (13) came up to me and asked permission to be able to say s, d and b****. I don’t really have a problem with cuss words. I use them all the time, and so does my wife. My boys made a presentation and explained that all their friends cuss, and they would like permission to be able to…
I am from south Asia and this is something I've observed and find very interesting. By any standard rich Asian countries like Japan and Korea are incredibly racist. Compared to the racism experienced in the US and Europe the racism in these countries is on a whole other level. People who are not…
If we all die anyway why does it matter if some people choose to go earlier? Sure, offer support services but at the end of the day what someone chooses to do with their own life isn’t of anyone else’s concern.
- Sir, so we've got the flour you asked for. - Great, pack it in the shittiest paper packing you can get. - ??? - And don't care too much about sealing the opening so it could spill a bit. Our customers will love it.
Is it the hassle of the post office I guess? I don’t go often so that’s the only thing I can think of. It’s ironic because people talk about it (at least people I’ve talked to) so negatively, but out of FedEx, UPS, and USPS, I would pick USPS over all of them. My ranking is USPS, FedEx, and then…
It's something that I've always wondered. Why is there a natural gravitation of gay men towards fashion?
What's the point? Our wages aren't going up. Everything's expensive. It's depressing ASF.
Why is it so uncommon to see older women in relationships with younger men compared to the opposite?
There's definetly a greater distribution of men dating women half their age than women doing the same. I've met plenty of women dating men at 10-20+ years their own age, but have never in my life met a man dating a woman older than himself by a similar gap. I'm sure there are plenty of men and…
When something like an artery is repaired and stitched together how does it become sealed? Is it just regular clotting the way blood repairs skin cuts etc or something else?
My dog is large, and took a single chomp on a small mouse/Vole. the hind legs were unusable. i came back 10 minutes later to find it curled up, laying in the same spot. It ran away like 3 feet and stopped, and could move pretty fast but its hind legs still didnt look to be functioning. I…
TL;DR: A year ago, we did an AMA [https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/m5i6g5/askscience_ama_series_hi_reddit_we_are_group_of/] answering science or technology questions on any topic from Reddit. We had a blast and so we're back again! So please ask us any questions any of you have to do…
When it comes to gender identity, I find it very difficult to answer ‘What is it to be a woman/man’ without either appealing either to physical sex, or a set of traits, characteristics or actions which aren’t shared by all. I think that if we have to say, to be a woman is to be a caregiver, a…
My parents used to say this a lot before they would cuss "pardon my French" what does it mean? Were the French perceived as vulgar at some point? I thought French society was always highly regarded throughout the world. Thanks!
For instance, was there as stark a difference in pop culture, fashion and slang? I'm curious to know if Marty would be met with equal bewilderment if he played something at an 1850s dance that would only become popular 30 years later
