My mind immediately goes to the Ferengi whenever someone says “females” about women.

Well said!

I went on a 2 week holiday earlier this year and I barely took a single picture lol

That’s definitely the case since I can’t read Chinese lol

That’s super interesting! I barely know any Chinese and probably just assumed the characters were for language instead of numbers.
The public transit system used arabic numbers (maybe as well as the Chinese characters?), so at least that was easy to navigate lol

When I went to China about 5 years ago, all the numbers were Arabic numbers. Not sure if this is a regional thing, or if this is a more recent development.

One step closer to ornithopters becoming real

A catapult can buy many peanuts

That’s perfectly fine, I use soap because I eat meat and my gf is vegetarian so I don’t want to leave any grease. Also I find soap just makes it a bit easier to clean.

Dude, you’re not supposed to scrape off the seasoning every time you wash the pan. I reapply a bit of oil maybe once or twice a year. I normally just wash it some soap and water after cooking.

I watched this sketch comedy show in Iceland as a kid, where every week they had a section called “the men behind the curtains”. It was just people hidden away inside ATMs, vending machines etc. pretending it was a machine doing the work.

I slept in my car on public rest stops while on a road trip in Norway.
IIRC you can sleep in your car there for two nights, which I never ended up doing anyway because I was travelling.
Public rest stops are amazing, there’s usually pretty clean toilets, benches for picnics and sometimes even showers or a lake to bathe in.

Haha yeah, all you really need to know is who’s the hero and who’s the villain and even that is pretty easy to figure out without the dialogue

This is why Europeans make fun of Americans. Reading subtitles is not that hard. I’ve been doing it without any problems since I was 5 years old

‘Audiophiles’: “Yeah I paid $20000 for this new DAC, I think the treble is a lot crispier”
Actual audio engineers: “I record everything with this $40 Behringer interface and mix with free plugins though my 30 year old Yamahas”

“Well achtually, women’s vaginas are meant to be bone dry. Every women I’ve slept with has been dryer than the Sahara desert.”

I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the “th” in “the”, so I read it as “Thisney”

Yeah people will use bikes or public transit if it’s a better option for them than driving. But decades of carmaker lobbying, terrible zoning laws and bad urban design makes driving the only available option for most Americans.
Cities who invest in good public transit and sensible urban design always see a huge decrease in car traffic.

Spicy food + beer makes my head feel all tingly

Also, don’t greenlight 100 shows if you only plan on giving 5 of them a second season, and you base that decision entirely on algorithms instead of genuine human feedback.
And please, for the love of god, let me look at a movie for longer than 1 second before you start automatically playing it because your almighty algorithm determined that it would force users to pick a movie faster. It’s the most annoying “feature” that makes me inclined to avoid Netflix as much as possible.
