The unfunnyness and homophobia of the joke aside, this kind of joke doesn’t expect people to actually believe that statistics work this way. Part of the joke is the ridiculousness of expecting statistics to work that way. While there may indeed be some people so stupid/ignorant that they DO expect statistics to work this way, that’s not really the way this kind of humor is meant to work.

Homesteading is a much more apt analog then prepper. We are digital homesteaders.

I second this, with the caveats that it doesn’t need to be German made (I’m quite happy with my Rockwell), and the brush doesn’t need to be badger. I prefer the stiffer horsehair, and I hear synthetic brushes have gotten quite good.

Well vegetable used to be used sometimes to mean “plant”.

Most people don’t really understand how words work.

And where does the paper say that? You claim it “makes an assumption that there are no known risks with the covid-19 vaccinations” but I didn’t see any such assumption made.

You call that counterpoint? Bach’s Mass in D minor. Now that’s counterpoint!

Give each person a folder in which to stick whatever loose sheets they are currently working with. Keep these folders plus whatever music books are relevant on a shelf. Tell each person to put their shit away when they are done.

There can be another folder for sheets people fail to put away. Your wife can just stick everything left out into this folder when stuff gets left out and she gets annoyed. People will learn they have to look through all the shit in this folder to find their stuff if they leave their stuff out.

I’m not, I’m dead. BTW I ate a carrot that had been on the counter for almost an hour.

TIL an abundance of food produces potatoes.

Could be, if it’s not very saucy and depending on the toppings, but I meant the focaccia and garlic bread.

Oil doesn’t count as moisture.

She sounds confused about what she feels and wants.

Well there’s been a number of such posts lately, and I was surprised when I checked the rules and there seemed to be nothing that covered it.

All. Part of what bothers me is the dishonesty of phrasing it as a question. It strikes me as counter to the spirit of asklemmy, if the question isn’t actually honestly seeking an answer. I’d be happy with a rule along those lines instead.

That did occur to me, but it such a rule were instituted and my post therefore deleted, I would be delighted.

That’s the one aversion I never got over. I’m not unhappy about it either, if there’s to be a thing I can’t ever drink, that seems a pretty good choice.

It’s funny, it seemed like blackberry brandy was a popular choice for getting fucked up underage drinking back in my day. But I don’t think I’ve ever encountered an adult use of it. Never knew anyone to drink it, or ever saw it in a cocktail recipe.

A light spirit lives in the battery. It reaches out across the wires until it reaches the round window which it uses to show its power.

“regardless of texture physics…” If I had been drinking milk when I read that, it would definitely have come out my nose!

Never mess with someone trained in gorilla warfare. Those gorillas don’t mess around.
