Yes, it's only not stupid if it works reliably, is easier than the alternative, and costs less. Most things that are stupid but works fails one of those in my experience.

I don't think I 100 percent knew that "chook" was an Aus/NZ thing (instead of general Commonwealth slang) and used it for some feral chickens in the Cayman Islands. I hope I was understood in context. :ohdear: I've been hanging out with my Kiwi husband for far too long.

There are so many dumbfuck beauty hacks online, and the Welsh Twins (a skincare expert and a makeup artist) love to tear them apart. Sometimes they try to replicate the hacks. Sometimes they ask their viewers to come up with their own dumbfuck beauty hacks, which they then try out on their channel. That's what this is, hence the use of an asparagus spear as an impromptu brush for emergency makeup made by wetting Skittles.

I have a pretty torn up pair of jeans I was thinking of tossing. Is there like a consignment place where I can instead sell these to a trendy highschool girl for a hundred dollars?

You should keep them for patching other pairs of jeans. I have an old pair that I cut up and I have jeans that I would otherwise have had to throw away that I have patched using that old pair and copydex.

If a pair of jeans is just continually patched, at what point are they no longer the same jeans?

If they're real denim you can make pot-holders out of them. I mean they'll look like poo poo and MORE LIKE JORT HOLDERS but they work good.

Just don't try it with the stretchy stuff lol.

Saw a guide to breaking new cowboy boots in that included packing them in mud/manure and going ham with them on a gravel road.

is the popcorn there to keep the straw steady :confused:

I don't get it. Am I missing something or just thinking too hard? Pouring the butter into the straw onto the popcorn is the same as just pouring it onto the popcorn. Maybe it gets it a little deeper. Unless you're going to drink the butter. Please tell me you're not going to drink the butter.

It's this. Normally you end up with a very buttery top and a dry bottom. (Go ahead and take that out of context.) With this you can get butter to the bottom, and pull the straw up as you dispense to get every layer between.

Get some A-maize, it's a butter flavored corn oil. It's what the gourmet popcorn place I used to work at used

And then we would toss some of this on top for good measure

Also make sure you're using butterfly popcorn. It'll expand and catch flavor better

Open your mouth and start guzzling butter straight from the tap until you're full. They can't stop you if you paid for your popcorn.

Not going to pretend that I won't eat that poo poo like my life depends on it. But man it looks gross being poured. I just want it on my popcorn. I really don't want to be confronted with the reality that it's just a bunch of oil.

Flavacol is also distributed mixed with oil in bags for movie theatres and other vendor-size operations.
