I've always hated those vacuum sealed packs of meat that the supermarkets moved to a few years ago. So loving difficult to open, I was slicing them with knives or even getting out the big scissors. These things:  Last night I discovered they have a flap on one corner where you can pull the whole plastic off in one easy movement.

I've always vaguely wondered why sandwich boards are called that, and assumed it had some tradition associated with sandwich shops or something. I just never gave it much thought, but today I saw a sandwich board and I thought to myself, "why do they call it a sandwich board?" and then it was real obvious. It folds up like um, two pieces of bread, uh... well, okay, now wait. Is that why they call it that? Because it's barely a sandwich. It's more like a book. They should call them bookboards. Or hotdogbunboards, since hotdog buns usually are connected at the spine.

SLOSifl posted:When I was a kid the pro strategy for pulling off wishes was to hit the sun - most kids wished at stars that were so far away that they died before the wish even got there, let alone back to earth. The sun is only 8 minutes or so away and it gets back to you in the same amount of time, if it goes through. And if it gets denied or flagged you can just try again. It’s a slippery slope of course and there’s been trauma that can’t be undone, burned bridges and massive regret I’ll have to die with. Still better than getting a voltron toy in sixteen thousand years, I guess. This bit isn't true - the furthest visible star to the naked eye is about 16,000 light-years away, so by the time the wish gets back to Earth it's 32,000 years old. Stars have life-spans in the order of billions of years, meaning the majority of stars you see are good and healthy. Even that furthest star is estimated to have another 50,000 years before it goes pop. Yes I'm applying astrophysics to wish magic. No I don't have anything else to do with my morning.

And shooting stars aren't that far away. You were all doing it wrong lol none of it came true lmao smhd!

In the film The Parent Trap (1998) (about identical twins separated as babies when their parents divorced then meeting by chance as 11 year olds, for those who don't know), the twins bond over the fact that they both like eating Oreos with peanut butter. As a kid, I just accepted, like "yep, twins have the same odd taste in food, no surprises there." It's just occurred to me that them stumbling across the same combo is a stupid coincidence, and the real explanation (assuming the writers did actually put some thought into it) is that it's a food their parents ate when they were together and passed on to their kids.

No, I think it's the first one. This is a dumb movie, it doesn't need to be the most reasonable explanation for why two people who have never met would enjoy the same thing, it's going to be the simplest and most obvious.
