Jokes on them, I occasionally forgot when my kid told me and just had to say I guess the tooth fairy was extra busy. Once I forgot 2 nights in a row. So this wouldn’t have been conclusive data.

2·2 months agoI like this one.
I have a crap ton of things I really want but would never choose to spend the money on myself and wait for it as a gift. That’s basically the entire point of gifts imo, getting things you want but can’t justify spending the money on.
I would call that enthusiast level rather than rich person. It’s not more than a decent drone or camera or many other technology hobbies. Less than half the price of a ps5 or meta quest 3.
Sure, you could argue it probably has less function and replay value than those. But it’s still not ludicrously expensive if you REALLY want it.
Vegetables aren’t even a thing botanically, they’re basically “plant stuff that isn’t fruit”, except when it is.
Botanically speaking, vegetables can be roots (carrots, beets), stems (celery, asparagus), leaves (spinach, lettuce), flowers (broccoli, cauliflower) seeds (peas, beans), and of course fruits that we treat as savory (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants).
And then on the opposite side you have things we call fruits that botanically speaking aren’t. Rhubarb is a stem, strawberries are aggregate accessory fruits where the fleshy part we eat is actually swollen stem tissue, and those little “seeds” on the outside are the real fruits of the plant. Figs are not simple fruits, they’re inverted flower clusters where the “fruit” is actually a hollow stem containing many tiny real fruits inside.
Even apples and pears aren’t true fruits botanically, they’re accessory fruits where much of what we eat comes from the flower’s receptacle rather than just the ovary.
So yeah the botanical vs. culinary divide works both ways. Our everyday food categories are really more about taste, texture, and how we use foods rather than plant biology.
Also, even if they were, it wouldn’t make the strawberry a nut. It would make it covered in nuts.
How about a pair of jeans?
If anyone wants to see an entertaining mathematician talk about this exact topic for 30 minutes, here you go:
That sounds perfect tbh. I love fish flavour but mostly don’t like the texture.
I’d bet they believed it themselves.
It would be more like renaming twitter to internet website, which yes, despite everything, is worse than X.
1·1 year agoIt’s because paying isn’t the issue. I’m not rejecting streaming on the basis of price (though, the current price of paying for even a couple at once doesn’t help), I’m rejecting it on the basis of it being a fractured, inconsistent and lacking service that fundamentally acts against the interest of its users. If a streaming service offered the same things stremio+debrid does I’d happily pay 10x the price.
People used to pay others for burnt DVDs and CDs back in the day if they didn’t have a pc with a burner themselves. Same thing really.
No it’s like Netflix for torrents /real Debrid and really very simple to set up.
Download stremio.
Optionally pay for a Debrid service such as real Debrid (this will basically give you a smoother experience for a couple dollars a month)
Search torrentio
Choose the options (very self explanatory) and install the addon.
You’re literally done. Start playing any show/movie you like. It’ll work.
10·1 year agoDon’t know if it’ll be much help but on my app (thunder) you go to the instance, press the little (i) and then block community. It will probably be something similar on most apps.
You’ll never cum if you don’t blow

1·1 year agoI 100% agree they are the absolute worst. They drive me crazy and can put me in a bad mood faster than coming across any of the actually dangerous things. Absolutely ridiculous.
Social reasons. It’s easier to just do it than have a 5 year old not understand why they’re the only one that misses out, or explain the whole thing and expect a 5 year old to keep it secret from their friends, pissing off all the other parents when they tell them, all to avoid doing something that’s just a bit of fun anyway and isn’t likely to destroy your kids trust in you for life by itself.
