For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
A simple one I think, I refuse to call twitter by other names.
“white chocolate” doesn’t exist. It’s just sugar and a little bit of cocoa butter. It’s edible wax. It’s not chocolate and it doesn’t belong in any assortment of sweets, ever. Cocoa butter is skin moisturizer and that’s it.
The most delicious edible wax I’ve ever had.
It provably does exist. And it’s delicious. I could go to the supermarket and buy some right now. Except I’m fat and trying to lose weight.
It does exist in the way that chocolate ‘solids’ exist as an element of chocolate. A typical chocolate bar consists of both chocolate solids and cocoa butter. It’s still an element of what you’re eating,
So just cuz you eat ‘chocolate’ because you think you only favor the solids, you’re still eating the butter too in what makes chocolate. It’s like drinking milk products and then getting pedantic over people who use butter as a food even though milk contains some the same elements.
But again this is about stupid hills to die on. And you picked an intolerant and ignorant stance so I guess you technically win in this particular topic.
No need for personal attack, this is all in good fun.
If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way, I don’t give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.
Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced “Gah-nome”, or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way
or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced
But they did! You’re the one who fucked it up by using an “x” (Latin letter x) instead of a “χ” (Greek letter chi).
(Also, you didn’t capitalize or format it correctly. It’s supposed to be rendered as “LAΤΕΧ”, and yes, those last three letters are
Τ Ε ΧGreek capital tau, epsilon, chi.)🤓
Gnome is spelt the way they want it to be said. Are you suggesting that gnome should be pronounced ‘nome’ like the garden ornament with a silent g.
Is it not?
For as much as I see the TP thing online, I’d say I’m in the minority by not caring one bit about which way it faces. But I can see why people care.
Because something that I do care about that’s kinda the same, I will remake the bed if the top sheet is on the wrong way. Seems a lot of people think the nicer side with the good stitching faces up. But no, you want to make a nice sheet samich, with the nice sides facing each other so you are feeling the good side when you’re in the sheets.
My ex could never figure that out and would get mad at me when I said that was wrong. Or she just did that so I made the bed and she never had to.
Things happen by accident or on purpose. No one over the age of 3 should be using “on accident”.
The reverse toilet paper thing is useful when you have pet that’s like to mess with it.
But either way is ok for me, I guess.
I mean, I couldn’t care fewer about it.
Load the goddamn plane by column, window seats to aisle seats, grouped by odd/even seat numbers and make people line up largest seat number to smallest. It takes an extra five minutes before you board the plane and saves you twenty or thirty. It wouldn’t even cost you the five if it was the standard.
It’s pronounced niche, not niche, damn it.
If something’s rate of hype is too fast for my internal meter, I will become immediately skeptical of the trend/show/etc. and not care about it, solely because everyone is caring about it too much and too fast.
I can recline my seat. And you can recline yours.
The most pointless hill I will die on is the whole regardless, irregardless thing.
They mean the same thing, but irregardless is redundant. My friend uses that word purely because he knows it pisses me off.
Loose and lose bother me. When I see these words used incorrectly, I become mildly irritated.
I figuratively would of had fewer of a reaction if less persons made that missed steak… literally.
As a fellow stickler of poor spelling/grammar, that last line made me twitch.
I have given up on “steep learning curve”. A learning curve is proficiency on the Y axis against time on the X. A steep learning curve indicates something that is learned very quickly. A shallow learning curve is something that takes a long time to master. See Ebbinghaus 1885.
I always view that one as meaning that you must learn a lot about something in a short amount of time in order to use it effectively, where shallow learning curve, in a positive context, would mean you can make it useful without knowing all that much about its full capabilities.
its “I could not care less” and not “I could care less”. This one drives me nuts
I adore David Mitchell and his rants. I really liked the one about how “rape” should not become socially acceptable and silly when followed by “pillage” just because the Vikings are depicted as having worn silly hats.
On the toilet paper debate, as far as I can tell it largely has to do with whether people stand up or sit down to wipe. People who stand up want the paper unrolling on the front (because they can’t easily reach under the roll), while people who sit down and wipe can go either way.
For my petty hill, “Duck” brand tape is awful and should never be bought. It’s just slightly above generic dollar brand tape in quality, and should absolutely never be bought if you have any other options. Go with Scotch or anything else really.
For under it’s because they have cats. If it’s over cats can pull it down and unroll it entirely.
I’m going to blow your mind - bathroom doors can be closed 🤯
You want to close up the wet room where you shit? I guess you could leave the fan running 24/7.
Well, it’s better than letting the tiny particles of shit float through your home until the smell disperses
Better to trap them in the same humid area so they can form colonies along with the various fungi?
