When my wife and I stay at a hotel we watch cable and put on like QVC shopping channels.

It’s fun to overreact and be like “this is 100 genuine silver painted lead.” Some of the channels will have like changing infographics that flash and explode every second as the price keeps dropping so we make wooshing sounds as it keeps falling to a new low.

I’m claustrophobic just thinking about that nightmare

I’ve always said that waving to your neighbors buys a lot of favors.

I might forget my neighbors name but since he waves to me every time I see him then I’d die for that dude

Eh that seems like a major stretch. NJ used above was prefaced with “somewhat niche US info”

I even replaced what the guy said which was Chris Christie with NJ gov because I hardly expected anyone abroad to know him

I feel like if we’re going to start thinking that someone’s putting the ass in assumption just because they used something others might not understand then we’re in trouble

You’d have to kill off any slang or expressions for fear that people might not understand them

As a US citizen I think we forget how much of our shit gets out.

I’m always surprised when I go abroad and people are up to date with somewhat niche US info. I was in Hong Kong and some local dude made a reference to the fatass NJ gov who was chilling on the closed beach during lockdowns.

I do feel like I see far more people complaining about US people making assumptions than I do US people assuming. When I’m replying to someone I don’t put any thought into where they’re from unless they drop a context clue.

Paris green (what I’m assuming the book covers in the meme is made of) is one of my wife’s favorite topics to info dump on someone. I brought her to the sign museum in Cincinnati and she had like an hour long convo with the dude who worked there on just that.

No you won’t need to bleed your brakes unless you happen to take off the calipers which you shouldn’t need to do.

It’s a very easy job that shouldn’t take you too long.

Your biggest worry is probably going to be stripping bolts if they’re a bit rusted. Can get some PB blaster and spray down all your bolts ahead of time so that they’ll come off easy.

Don’t forget to check out a break-in procedure after you have the new pads installed.

Same and some days I’ll go “I’m staying in bed all day today and not leaving for shit”

I’ll order a pizza and get comfy then regret it later that night when I’m sore as shit and have bad reflux

Billion user platform that’s popular with young people has young people interested in easy to get drugs. Won’t someone think of the children

Getting strong “MTV made my child addicted to the devils lettuce” vibes from these comments

I hate when you’re watching like a B horror movie and the camera randomly pans to a sharp object on the wall. You just know that one hour from now that sharp object is going through the monsters chest.

to keep people talking about

Honest question but do they really keep people talking about climate change?

I feel like this is the tenth stunt that I’ve read about then came into the comments and it’s just the same talk about exposure vs art vandalism.

I generally just leave these posts more exhausted and don’t give a shit about exposure or vandalism in the end. With climate change being something the furthest from my exhausted mind.

Did we read the same post?

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it

I guess your comment makes sense if you find those two attractive.

Like I get the boomer joke of music these days sucks but my comment was leaning into joke.

Ugly people make music all the time.

You really gonna tell me Ed Sheeran is good looking? Post Malone?

Nothing like having to swat away 10 text boxes of bullshit on launcher start.

When the game finally starts you get 10 more boxes and then ads for the season pass you couldn’t give a shit about.

$55 for 4.

Tempting but I hate having dishes I care about because then I have to worry about breaking them or the dishwasher eating them

Also if you need something from spectrum just ask to speak with retentions

Terrible at running dinosaur parks tho

I think people fail to realize the cost difference in sports cars and yachts.

I spent a fair bit on a Porsche but wouldn’t dream of owning some of the monster boats my neighbors haul and those aren’t even yachts.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, with China–United States relations straining, China began declining to renew panda leases for U.S. zoos.[27][28] The San Diego Zoo pandas returned to China in 2019, followed by pandas at the Memphis Zoo and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 2023.[29]The Memphis pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le, became a rallying point for Chinese calls to repatriate the bears after accusations of poor living conditions circulated on Chinese social media sites and the sudden death of Le Le in February 2023.
