The caps on my prescription medicine bottles have screw inserts and I never understood why until just now when I was idly fiddling with one and screwed the cap upside down into the bottle. They're for people who don't have the strength to push and turn, you can just seal it up by screwing it in instead.

I lost a county spelling bee at age 10 due to the hosed up way "fuchsia" is spelled and I've resented it ever since

It's what

edit: I looked it up because I actually thought you misspelled it in this post, I never noticed

I thought it was "fuschia". Apparently this misspelling is so common that google won't even tell me it's misspelled if I spell it that way lol.

When you go to a McDonald's, they say "welcome back" because you've been to one before.

Ok here's one I like much better, this was a joy to discover

Speedy, my pet turtle, is not trying to tell us to stop when we scratch her shell butt and she starts wigglin away. It turns out she actually really likes it, as tragically she has no way to itch her own rear end. I don't think even she knew we could do that for her. This is possibly the most satisfied little turtle ever?

She has been traveling around the house getting butt scratches from my whole family since we learned this pleases her. She did not want to go back to bed in her terrarium tonight. Afterward she came over to me and stuck only her butt out so I could scratch nothing else :3:

Thanks for the warm reception to my turtle Speedy. I learned another fact about her!

https://i.imgur.com/pvmB3Ap.mp4

This was so obvious in hindsight, but she's been a house pet for 15 years and likes her independence, so we never realized that she likes to perch if you offer! My slipper is a rock from her vantage point. It's warm, a place to settle and get a look around, and get some bonus scratches. So I got her some slippers to mess around with and perch on. :3:

But the wildest thing is that she conveyed to me she wanted me to do that. She was looking back and forth at me like an expectant dog, taking a few steps, looking back until I followed. How can something with such a little pea brain be so intelligent at conveing intentions like that? Are there studies on reptile smarts??

I sat down with a guy at the bar, and he said in a Southern accent, "Haven't seen you in a coon's age. You know that's not racist, right?"

Well, it feels like it somehow became racist by that followup.

The same way, a friend offered to buy me a shot of some drink with milk in it. I said I had to pass because I'm vegan, and her date said, "Hey man, no judgment."

Which just... makes it feel like there is judgment, by virtue of you saying so?

I know exactly what you mean. I've got no clue where folks learned to think of that as a disarming thing to say.

Guy Fieri was born Guy Ferry

That's pretty cool. Apparently his Italian grandfather's name was Fieri and the Americanized version is Ferry, so he changed his name to honor his grandfather. Probably also because it sounds cooler but still.

One Week by Barenaked Ladies. You can tell by the French that they're Canadian like brawnfire said.

quote:

Chickity China, the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watching X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one

My favorite part of that song is the part where he talks about yankin' it to Sailor Moon

quote:

Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing

Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

Genuinely related, I've been following a great neo classical artist named BLKBOK and only when I saw him today did his name become clear.

Yeah, you definitely start to feel that type of burn if your hobby is also your job. Let's Plays were that for me for a while back in ~2015-18. I used to do two at once, and college, and then I realized that pace is not fun even if it was fun showing things to you folks here. Taking it slower means it's not a job anymore, which also means it's back to being play not work.

edit: Folks say "do what you love for a living" but in reality it isn't always a good idea. Sometimes you will lose your admiration for that thing by 'having' to do it. But it'll come back if you rest.

That is also why the stereotypical NFL play opening is "hut hut hike". Previously the quarterback used to just say "hike" to indicate the play had begun but that wasn't enough warning! :eng101:

edit: nowadays before the snap most teams spout some da vinci code sequence of some kind to their team instead.

Some neat video game trivia: Guitar Hero has a duel with Ted Nugent, wherein he plays Stranglehold as the encore. He doesn't sing vocals on that in the real world so the developers made a special venue just for this song wherein he doesn't take the mic, your band does.
