I've never heard of elaborate proposals to the prom. I've never heard the term "promposal" before but it's a pretty obv portmanteau.

In 9th grade I asked the teacher to the prom because she was hot and everyone dared me to do it. I wrote it on the white board. It got a laugh. We were 13. That's the most elaborate proposal to the prom I've ever seen until now.

A dude making a huge public deal out of asking you out is always a bit of a nightmare because you don't have to worry just about how he'll react if you say no, but how the audience he has created will react too. Some women are cool with it but if you don't know she is, it's a lot to spring on someone. And I think some dudes count on that extra pressure to force a yes. :/

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
I currently have this fridge design, and I don't like to warn people because it is the perfect prank device (my ice doesn't do that though). It is super convenient for filling water bottles.

This is correct. I will also add that I find this design annoying and can't wait until I can afford a new one.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I have a friend who has it. it's an absolutely insane design but I've gotten used to it. it also produces ice that's too "sticky" (your ice fuses together into one giant clump) and the water shoots out so fast that it splashes tiny droplets everywhere.

also the fridge has a window so you can look inside without opening it; the light turns on when you walk near. i don't understand that design element either.

Kid comes up with a crazy plan for his promposal where he apparently gets in trouble with the cops ...... but they're in on the prank, whoooaaaa crazy! He got permission from the school resource cop and the school principal to run a stop sign on school property and then the cop would pull him over and the promposal would take place ...... the only problem is that they didn't consider all the other drivers on the road when they came up with this "deliberately blow a stop sign" plan and the obvious happens

Related personal schad: In my last year of high school I crashed my motorcycle right in front of the school, pretty much right after class was let out so hundreds of students saw it. Friends had been egging me on to "do a wheelie," I was like "man I can't wheelie it it's a 1988 Ninja 250" and they were like "wel do something cool," so the last thing I said was "OK, watch this." I was trying to do 'skitching' I guess, where I hang my left foot off the right side of the bike and drag it on the road, and I forgot that you're basically supposed to keep your weight centered on the gas tank. The suspension bucked and I went sideways right up on the curb, moving fast enough to make it onto the school lawn with road rash on my knee and my bare rear end exposed through my ripped-open jeans. A few people screamed, most of my buddies just laughed at me and I had to sit there and wait for my stepdad to pick me up and take me to the hospital to get the gravel scrubbed out of my knee with a device that looked like a plastic dog-grooming comb.

I also never got laid in high school and didn't go to prom.

The window is cool because it is an outer door for the in-door storage, so you can open that up to access the sauces and milk without opening the entire fridge door.

I somehow have an older model of the piss fridge. The ice is the same, but the water doesn't spray your crotch, but it's still placed in a way that if you don't hit the button with your cup, you just get wet hands.

My cat is fascinated by it and every so often I just wake up to find cold puddles on the kitchen floor from ice and or water being just sprayed everywhere as he jumps up to slap the buttons.
