20 people share the dumbest arguments they gave up on because the other person was too stubborn.

0
0

When you're in the right state of mind, there are few activities more fun than getting into a playful argument. Whether it's about a petty grievance or a larger world view, a battle of wit and logic can be both stimulating and bonding.

However, some arguments are so dumb all potential fun is overshadowed by the other person's stubborn lack of logic. In these cases, even agreeing to disagree becomes impossible, and all you can do is smile and back away from the ideological time bomb sitting in front of you.

In a popular Reddit thread, people share the arguments they "lost" because the other person was too dumb (or stubborn) to understand basic logic, and it's a doozy.

1. From Boxman75:

Guy once told me he was speeding on his motorcycle one night in the freezing cold and was almost caught by a police helicopter with an infra red camera. He said he ditched the copter by taking his coat off and cooling his body down to ambient temperature so the infra red camera couldn't see him.

I ignored the fact that he'd be dead if his body temp dropped that much and simply asked why they couldn't pick up the heat from the engine. He said infra red cameras only pick up heat from organic sources. At this point I decided against even trying to argue against any of the ridiculous points he was trying to make and just noped right out of the conversation.

2. From BuckPucker420:

Why it's not cheaper to buy a new $1,200 phone on a 24 month payment plan than to fix a phone that's paid off with a broken screen. ($150).

3. From dead_OwO:

Girl tried to convince me that she would lose her virginity if used tampons. I literally had to teach her the anatomy of the vagina/uterus and she said that if you retract the poop while taking a shit, it's "self oral sex".

I just wanted to kill myself after that.

4. From daveyhh:

A guy I knew in high school insisted Hawaii was in the Gulf of Mexico because that's what it showed on the map. He even opened our textbook to show and then looked at me like I was an idiot. I just told him to educate everyone he could then.

5. From Kcups:

I did not get credit in a game of Trivial Pursuit for my guess of King Tutankhamun.. The "correct" answer was, yep you guessed it - King Tut. I was like 13 and we had just done an Egypt study in school. So, I was positive about being correct and pretty proud for knowing it.

6. From Thedemonspawn56:

Guy said that I could touch a black hole because they only targeted stars and planets...

I wanted to die, I was trying so hard not to laugh.

7. From MTAlphawolf:

In HS football, the night before a game, we would get together and set goals for the game. Defense set the goal of >200 total yards of offense allowed. I corrected the > to a < to make it "less than 200 yards". They disagreed adamantly and kept the greater than. I was tutoring 4 of them in math at the time. They also hit their goal, more than 200 yards given up.

8. From bread-in-captivity:

Was trying to ask my neighbours to shut their dogs up at night because we can't sleep. "But my dogs never bark." There they are, barking in the background. Smh and walk away.

9. From Back2Bach:

A guy argued that a "baby grand" piano was for little children during their earliest piano lessons, saying "that's why they're called baby grands."

I explained that the term "baby grand" simply refers to the smallest size of a grand piano, about 4'5" long.

He just insisted that baby grands were for little children, and that's why they're called "baby grands."

10. From Nyawk:

One of my college teachers gave us a test on computer hardware. One question was What is the most important part of any computer? It was multiple choice. CPU, memory, motherboard, PSU. I told him that the question made no sense. All of the parts are necessary, no one is most important. Without any one, the computer would not work.

He insisted that it was the CPU.

11. From Enemy_Within:

I’m a bartender. When I put a drink up to be run to a table in the restaurant the servers have to put a garnish on depending on the drink. I see new guy standing there staring at the lemons. Ask him what the deal is and he responds “these limes aren’t ripe yet...” Try to explain that’s not how that works and guy tells me I don’t have to be an a**hole. Suffice to say we’ve lowered our standards for servers lately.

12. From swanyMcswan:

A guy I used to work with believed that germs were a myth. He thought "bad air" is what made you sick. We worked in a meat department. Luckily he would wash his hands and keep stuff clean, but his logic was dirty things make bad air.

I tried so hard to convince him germs were real. To the point I would print off literature of various educational levels. From kindergarten to college level and he believed it was all a hoax.

It drove me up a wall.

He also believed the moon landing was fake. We got in heated arguments over it. To the point my boss put a ban on discussing the moon at all.

13. From ceramicsun:

I was trying to explain to my roommates that we can’t leave our front door unlocked 24/7 (especially when no one is in the apartment and when they’re out and I’m sleeping) and that they should replace the keys they lost. Plus we’re on a college campus where theft is pretty common and my room was broken into the previous year.

Them: “We live in on a college campus so we’re safe. What good is a locked door going to do if someone comes in with a gun? If something happens that’s just life.”

We went around in circles for 27 minutes. Worst argument ever.

14. From Priest_Of_Chaos:

Whenever I use words my mother never heard of and tells me to correct myself. I now have to actually get google definitions to show her I'm not speaking nonsense, cuz I used to always lose those because "She's the mom and older, therefore she knows more than me".

15. From danielottlebit:

I once was innocently commenting about something on the news about the pope... the (idiot) guy I was dating was like “eh!!! I don’t wan’t to hear about those stupid Christians!!! You can’t trust any of them!”

I’m like: ”um.. [name], you’re Lutheran, aren’t you?”

Him: “yeah, exactly... that’s why I try to avoid Christians and their rants”

20 minute convo as I TRIED to explain to him what a Christian was and that he was one... didn’t understand/believe... turned into a breakup convo for realizing how dumb he was hahaha.

16. From Beezo514:

When I was working waiting tables they changed scheduling systems and the times printed were in military time. My shift said I started at 10:50, so that is when I show up, 10:50 AM. At the end of my shift, my manager hands me a write up to sign for being late. I refuse because I was there at my scheduled time, 10:50 AM. He then tried to tell me I was supposed to be in at 10:30.

This is when I go and grab the paper schedule and point to where it says 10:50, clearly written. At this point I start to notice that all of the start times were either at the top of an hour (1:00, 13:00, etc) or at the hour and :50. When making the schedule, he thought that :50 in military time was a half hour and would not listen to me when I explained as clearly as I could that it was the hours that changed, not the minutes.

He still put that f*cking write up in my file. Stupid a*shole.

17. From Careless_Hellscape:

They kept insisting that they were entitled to their opinion over something that was a fact. For some reason telling her that her opinion didn't sway the truth just made her double down.

Situation: I mentioned that a certain YouTube personality was gay. I said it matter of factly, not to be mean. The guy has mentioned being gay on his channel several times. This girl got mad and girl kept denying he was into dudes. This was despite me pointing out that he openly identified as gay. She cited that it was 'her opinion' to validate the dude's sexuality on what her stupid ass wants to believe.

18. From FutureBlackmail:

I'll be finishing up my history degree in a few months. I really shouldn't be arguing my subject with people who've never had a reason to pick up a history book, but I was stuck with a buddy of mine for several hours a day for the better part of last year, and we got around to talking about pretty much everything.

At one point, for one reason or another, we got to talking about the Comanche Indians. I mentioned a common misconception, and he countered with a stereotype that he learned in grade school. We went back and forth for a while, and I tried to reference books on the topic, but his response was always to restate the same stereotype and say "I'm part Cherokee, so I know." Eventually, when he clearly had nothing left to say, he asked the most annoying question possible in that situation: "yeah, well were you there?"

How do you even respond to that? I definitely wasn't "there," but neither was anyone else alive today, and accepting that argument would pretty much void all study of history.

I pretty much gave up. He's not a dumb guy, but history is clearly not his field, and there was no way anything was gonna come of the argument.

19. From phase172:

Ex once argued with me that "a vegetable is not a plant."

20. From saurusmaximus:

I got into an argument with a guy who swore red cars were faster. His rationale was "because Ferraris are always painted red" (which is also not true). At first I thought he was just messing with me, but no, he really believed it and nothing I could say would change his mind.

I finally gave up on arguing with stupid and told him how right he was.


Bride asks if she's wrong to want to ban kids from wedding, including her future stepson.

0
0

A bride does not want her fiancé's 11-year-old son to attend their wedding, and it reads like to origin story of a Bridezilla turning into an Evil Stepmother.

Child-free weddings are an increasingly popular choice, because of both atmosphere and the fact that an open bar makes vomit already all-too-likely among adults. But people usually make exceptions for close family, but this bride doesn't want to.

A woman wrote on "Am I The A**hole?":

Am I am the asshole for asking the soon to be hubs for a child free wedding?

My Finace of 2 1/2 years and I are set to be married in a little over a year. We have been pretty much in agreement over most of the wedding planning except this one thing.

I told my fiance that I would like to have a child free wedding because I do not want babies and little ones screaming, crying, or running around during our ceremony and reception. This is our special day and I do not want that annoyance. Especially during vows!

Sounds reasonable, right? Here's where the reason stops:

My fiance however said that he wants his 11 year old son and his 4 year old niece to be a part of the day and be in the pictures and what not. I told him that I understand this, I really do. But I want this to be elegant. Not like a back yard barbeque. I also told him that I want to be his focus on our big day and feel his son especially will want most of his focus as he always does when he is around. He says he will try and prioritize me but I know how it will go. My soon to be stepson will whine and literally cry until he gets the attention.

AITA for wanting my wedding day to be childfree?

Yeah, um, it wasn't even a debate: this lady sucks.

It's a theme among bridezillas that they forget that the wedding belongs to their partner too, and if a man wants his kid at his wedding, he should have his kid at his wedding! Espeically when the child in question is eleven and doesn't have a criminal record.

"YTA (You're The A**hole). You," EclipticEclipse emphatically stated.

"I don't care if you don't want kids at the wedding or at any point. Hell, I have none. But this is his son. Your future stepson."

"And kids at a wedding isn't an all or nothing thing. Your future husband and you get to set the rules. If he wants the two kids there, let the two kids come and say no to the others."

However the wedding goes, it sounds like this lady is certainly excited to be a stepmother.

Congrats to Disney on their future, real life, gender-bent Cinderella reboot.

Do you ever have a thought that you've had many, many times before but never questioned if anyone else feels the same way? Hint: they probably do...

Don't worry, you're definitely not a weirdo if you cling desperately to that last two minutes of sleep if you wake up at 7:58 instead of 8 AM. Turns out, all of us zone out while we're driving and have no idea how we got anywhere, and if you don't point out every barn animal you see when you pass them in a car--are you even a human?

Mom asks if she's wrong for not wanting to share fancy food with daughter, 7, during lockdown.

0
0

There are few pleasures to be had during lockdown, and food is one of them.

One mom is wondering if she's in the wrong after her husband called her out for hoarding fancy food and not letting their daughter, who's 7, eat it.

The mom wants to let the daughter eat Cheerios, while the dad wants to help the kid expand her palate with avocado toast, fancy honey and more. She took to Reddit to ask for advice, and the answers are divided.

The mom's lockdown life is pretty mundane:

I’m a SAHM and my hubby and I have a 7 y/o daughter, Evie.

My husband is working from home at the moment and Evie is at home too, generally we have been finding things a little challenging but all in all are doing ok.

Her biggest issue is that her favorite fancy foods are hard to find:

Because of severe food distribution shortages at the moment I’m finding it’s near impossible to find foods that I usually eat. Things like organic local honey which I (solely) eat, avocados have shot up in price and there seems to be shortages of those, similar items like that are just in high demand.

Her daughter normally sticks to crunchy tan kid-food staples, but she's been wanting to try mom's fancy stuff:

Evie usually sticks to Cheerios and crunches on carrots and celery but because she is bored I guess and at home she wants to be trying all of my stuff.

At first I indulged her but as produce and ingredients are getting harder to source I’m finding that I’m telling her ‘no’ a lot more often.

Her husband, however, isn't on the same page:

My hubby is a very hands on dad and he loves making her food. Since he’s been home he’s been cooking for all of us a lot and surprise surprise he’s going for the stuff I’m trying to ration like my honey to make Evie honey butter toast.

I came inside from my run today to see that hubby had made Evie avo toast. It was the last one and I had been waiting to eat it from after my run. I get it was my fault I didn’t tell anybody that I was planning on eating it, but I was just so irritated that he didn’t even take stock and give her something else as a snack.

Mom explained to her husband that the avo toast was meant to be for her:

I waited til Evie had gone (she wasted half the toast and I ate the rest) to tell my husband to stop giving her the expensive stuff.

He looked at me like I had grown a second head and said it was no big deal and we can just order more honey or whatever. I said NO, I don’t have many ‘nice’ things that are just for me, I should be allowed to keep the special honey for me and I should be able to want the avocado for me too.

He'd clearly rather Evie have the fancy food than his wife:

He said he was sorry but since Evie was becoming way more adventurous he didn’t want to stifle her and say no. I said she can be adventurous when this is all over.

I think I offended him because after a couple hours one of his buddies had left a giant basket full of local veg and produce outside the house. He said sarcastically ‘there, you should be happy now that you’re all stocked up.’

Now she's wondering if she's in the wrong.

I’m irritated here but can’t help but feel like it was just 1 damned request! Am I the a-hole?

Respondees are truly divided as far as who's wrong here.

Lightwoodorchestra says sharing is caring:

[You're the a-hole] if you just declare 'all these nice things are for me'. If you want save a certain avocado, sure. But your husband is right that it's great that she's being adventurous and you shouldn't stifle it. Some less fancy honey won't kill you.

Jbn42 can't believe the yuppie food staple avocado toast is truly the thing this lady's complaining about:

The entitled weirdness of this post made me roll my eyes. OMG, no avo toast, whatever shall you do? Be grateful your kid is interested. Mine barely touches anything outside of chicken nuggets and mac and cheese (not for lack of introduction or trying). An adventurous eater is a gift - celebrate it - share (because, you know, you’re an adult and maybe should have mastered sharing by now) your food passions with her.

Fluffyfeistybeekle is just plain weirded out.

This is so bizarre. Why wouldn't you be overjoyed that your daughter is being experimentative with her tastes and wanting to diversify her palette?

But MN80 sees it from the mom's point of view:

Wowsers the condemnation is huge!

Your husbands doesn't do the grocery shopping does he? So he doesn't actually understand about the shortages and the price rises, sure he gets the concept but he doesn't understand. The basket was passive aggressive, hence why you're miffed by it but also feel like you shouldn't be.

They say she should just hide her food:

Hide your special foods because for some reason these are always the most inviting to everyone else (think of the token vegetarian plate at a group gathering, suddenly everyone is vegetarian and that's the first plate to go...).

Quickdraw10 says the food's being wasted on the kid:

Am I going crazy here? It's a f****** 7 year old, she has no appreciation for organic f****** honey. OP even commented that she WASTES half of the expensive stuff. Lot of moral crusaders in here apparently who vehemently believe a small child should have mom's expensive treats just because that's fair. There's no reason dad can't find other food for her to have. I'm not saying she needs to be limited to Cheerios and carrots but I'm sure there are other things around that she can make do with.

Original_snail agrees:

what the hell is wrong with these commentators? Nothing wrong with someone having special snacks for themselves. The kid is well fed and taken care of, some stuff can be a treat for mom. Kid likely has her own versions of treats. Jeez.

Guess this household's food squabbles won't be solved any time soon.

Now is anyone else in the mood for avocado toast?

17 people share the funniest reasons they got sent to the principal's office.

0
0

Throughout your school years, you learn that some rules make sense and some are totally stupid.

A recent Reddit thread asked people to remember the funniest and dumbest reasons they were ever sent to the principal's office. Here are some of the funniest, and none of them will make you miss being a kid at school.

1. Don't worry, the internet finds it funny.

I got a 5lb bag of gummy bears as a "prize" from a fundraiser, so the next period my best friend and I put 5lbs of gummy bears in compromising sexual positions.

Nobody else thought it was as funny as we did. - EmzadiWithYou

2. Great use of everyone's time.

In middle school, I printed out hundreds of photos of my friend and had my other friends tape them up all over the school. The principal called me and my friend (the "victim", who thought it was hilarious) into his office. I'm scared shitless. He calls my friend's mom and puts her on speakerphone and explains the situation.

His mom laughed hysterically and I never got in trouble. The principal was so embarrassed. - klonklepops

3. Maybe she was having a bad day...

I opened my music folder before the teacher told me I could open my folder. She even had a kid escort me to the principals office....you know...in case third grade me tried to escape somewhere. When I got to the office, the principal asked me why I was there and I said "I opened a folder" and he just kinda shrugged and then I walked back to class. - itisSUNNYinhere

4. Only a future felon would do this.

In kindergarten I laid down instead of sat up during reading time. I know. I'm a monster - mute_tyche

5. They knew what you were doing, they just wanted to punish you for being a nerd.

Someone saw a kid and I exchange $20. I sold my runescape account. I assume the faculty thought I was selling marijuana. - FluffyDumpkins

6. Crazy how so many schools don't teach kids about consent...

A guy in elementary school had a crush on me and was a good friend with my sister. One day he decided that he wanted to kiss me even though I didn’t want to. So my sister held me so that he could kiss me. To get away, I bit my sister’s arm and ran. The teacher send me to the principals office because of the bite, even AFTER I explained to her why I did it. I got detention. - DontStopMeNow1

7. See above.

Because I called out a teacher for groping one of my female classmates. I was given a week’s detention. - House_of_leaves9

8. Well that lady was insane.

The first time in 7th grade, we had to write an essay for history class about a significant event in WW2, so I wrote about “the great betrayal” Britain surrendering Singapore allowed the Japanese to advance to become a threat to Australia. The teacher (an english woman) sent me to the deputy headmasters office for being mischievous the best part was she failed the essay, so the deputy reviewed it & gave me 96% - Dyingforsomelove

9. What a sad person.

Colored a picture of My Little Pony from a coloring book and gave it to the assistant Principal during lunch. She thought we were being smartasses but really we were just bored in class and thought it'd be cute to color a page and give it to her. She sent us to the principal and he said "You guys need to grow up" 🤷 - Tiqui

10. Hope that teacher is no longer teaching...

I got called to the principal’s office one day in 11th grade. I had no idea why. I sit down and it turns out one of the students in my government class complained when the teacher lobbed a marker at him when he was asleep. Apparently I was viewed to be a trustworthy witness for the investigation - olde_greg

11. Well-played.

I wrote a test and was asked to name 5 natural disasters, I forgot the 5th and wrote down my teachers name

This was in middle school - Reaper_Shot

12. The teachers must have been secretly impressed.

Started a gambling ring waiting for the second round of busses to come bring us home. Taught a few of the kids how to play poker and a friend taught everyone how to gamble their candies and snacks. Happy to say I do not have a gambling problem today. - lurker4life101

13. None of this makes sense.

I hid a box of tissues under my desk. For some reason, each day, I would add Elmer's glue to the box. The glue eventually soaked through tissues, and then the box, adhering to the floor. When it was found, I actually ended up getting paddled. That's how long ago it was. - WorstCase89

14. Neither does this. Kids are so weird.

I used to love to chew on my plastic bracelet. The teacher told me to spit it out, and I told her I had braces. She didnt buy it, and sent me to the principal's office for lying. - stardust7

15. Seems like you are emotionally scarred, and that's punishment enough.

I threw ice at a girl because we were playing tag and I panicked. In retrospect, I totally deserved it, but for some reason I was never punished. Like, I was sent to the office and the principal just didn't care so I was sent out. - OhioOhO

16. Beautiful.

Before class started I was rapping a song called “Earl” by Earl Sweatshirt and didn’t realize the teacher heard me. He sent me to the principal’s office a few days later and asked me why I was talking about jacking off. I explained to him it was a song so he literally googled the song and read the lyrics. Got in school suspension for that - MCFromWisco

17. Sounds like your principal did the right thing to be honest.

Pokemon trading cards. Yeah in my school pokemon cards were everywhere, so many kids cried abd screamed as they want to undo a trade they'd done. I was one of those kids sadly.

After me and a friend was in the principals office pokemon cards were banned. - mr_gnome1015

25 popular American foods that people from other countries consider weird.

0
0

Food is one thing that every single human in the world has in common. No matter where we were born, we all need to eat to survive. But what we eat, and how we eat it, can vary dramatically depending on where we're from. Even within the U.S., there are diverse eating habits from one state or region to the next.

Someone on Reddit asked people from the "non-Western world" about which popular Western foods make them wonder: "Why the heck would you eat that!?" The question sparked thousands of responses about the foods considered "normal" in certain countries, that people from elsewhere find weird—but in many cases, still delicious! It's cool how many people were more than willing to adventure into eating foods that were unfamiliar. Taste buds are universal!

Here are 25 eye-opening responses that were specifically about foods that are common or popular in the U.S. but seem strange to people in other parts of the world.

Turns out, not everyone loves PopTarts!

1.) From gimmecakepls:

My family’s been living in the States for a long while now. My parents don’t buy celery that often unless they’re planning to use it for a dish. So, when my parents saw me wash some stalks then take out the peanut butter, they were like “???”

Making “ants on a log” in class is what helped me like celeries as a kid, but I guess it’s not a thing in Korea. Or at least for my parents’ generation - no clue about now.

My parents weren’t into the celery with peanut butter. Too sweet, they said. But then my mom takes out the mayo and uses it as a dip for the celery?! It was my turn to go “?!” though it honestly didn’t taste as bad as I thought..

2.) From NitroChili:

A family friend from South Africa commented on pumpkin pie once.

"Wait you put PUMPKINS into PIE??? Why would you do that?!"

3.) From toeverycreature:

I'm a western person but I lived in a remote jungle village in the south Pacific for a few years. I'd always have a tin of milk powder in my Bush kitchen for making tea and coffee. My language helper wanted to know why the tin had a cow on it when it was white powder and not corned beef (the only cow in a tin she knew of). I explained the origin of milk powder and how in my country we get it slightly fresher as a liquid and many people drink it . She was totally grossed out that white people love to drink cow breast milk. Living in a remote village with no refrigeration She had never had milk, cheese, yoghurt etc so when I explained how we ferment milk to make those she started gagging.

4.) From jtothehello:

I’m half American, half Indonesian and grew up in several countries. Didn’t move to the the States, NYC specifically, until I was in my 20s. My roommates were trying to figure out American things I had missed out on growing up internationally and they were blown away that I never had a PB & jelly sandwich. I was hesitant to try it because it’s such an odd combo but man, they made me one and I was like damn, this is good. Also s’mores was something they introduced me to one summer. I was used to eating cheese on graham crackers and never thought of it as a vessel for dessert.

5.) From withsuze:

Chinese American here...grew up eating Chinese food at home but I had enough contact with other Americans to know "western food." I remember being baffled in 1st grade when a parent brought in a raw veggie platter with dip. I thought "y'all eat raw broccoli and cauliflower????"

6.) From aushimdas16:

When I vacationed in the US, I ate briskets and those other meats that are smoked and/or charred, I forgot what it's called but it tastes heavenly and I miss eating that.

7.) From kyleoohhh:

I traveled to the States once and I was excited to have hash browns considering we were at the source but they were completely different from what we have at home

Edit: The hash browns i had were from Denny's, but a lot of you have mentioned Waffle House so I'll definitely give it a try when I come back

8.) From Time_Significance:

Steak, but this is coming from someone who grew up buying meat from stores that aren't exactly sanitized so we have to make sure they're very thoroughly cooked.

9.) From legaljellybean:

Cheese. When my mom encountered cheese for the first time, she thought it was something that had gone bad. She’s from a small village in China, by the way.

10.) From emptydumpling:

The item itself isn’t a specific Western thing but the cooking style is. “ramen” noodles.

I’m from a Southeast Asian country and instant noodles are very common. We don’t call it ramen either, since ramen technically is a specific type of Japanese noodles.

It’s odd to me that in Western countries it’s seen as something to eat when you are dead broke/have no other options, and the most important thing is y’all usually eat it plain or with barely any added ingredients/seasoning.

Where i come from we have instant noodles in a huuuuge variety of flavours (mostly spicy flavours)..and we usually add a lot of veg or meat, egg, etc. Many of us, of all ages, also tend to eat it as supper or dinner food if we’re lazy to head out, so it’s not just a college thing.

11.) From danstoncul:

Monte Cristo sandwich. Deep fried ham and cheese sandwich, dusted with powder sugar, served with jam. Wtf americans?!

Edit: FYI I tried it at Disneyland Blue Bayou as a tourist after lots and lots of online recommendations.

12.) From MaJe18:

Hear me out, I'm from Southeast Asia. In our country, Avocado is like a fruit dessert, usually, we eat it as it is or we mix it with powder milk, or better yet we use this to make ice candy. It surprises me a bit that someone is using this as a spread for a sandwich like a tomato.

13.) From error_urbitch:

I guess just whats the deal with french fries and ranch dressing

14.) From mattkfpc:

My fiance was born and raised in Korea, and I got a kick out of sharing my childhood foods with her. One of them was Pop Tarts. She was so confused why anyone would eat stale breaded crumbs filled with shitty jam or chocolate. Turns out alot of people think pop tarts are wierd. Thank God she loved Flaming Hot Cheetos though.

15.) From MrsSchneL:

My South African cousin was pretty offended by corn on the cob. That’s food for livestock.

16.) From TollinginPolitics:

American. My wife is Chinese and they did not understand peanut butter until they had some now every time I go back to China I have to bring some with me.

They tried popcorn and even with butter and salt they still did not like it.

They also loved hot chocolate and the texas roadhouse.

And they were amazed at how much free coffee you can get if you wonder around town.

17.) From Kinetic03:

when I found out you are supposed to put sap from some random tree on your perfectly good pancakes.

edit: also sausages get bad reactions from my family in India when I explain to them what it is

edit: a lot of people think i dont like maple syrup, i do, i love it. its just the concept of taking sap and making it into something you pour on your pancakes

18.) From kat_the_houseplant:

I’m American but had a subleaser roommate in college for a semester who was a grad student from a rural part of China. We lived in CA. When we first met her, it was morning and I was making toast for breakfast. She looked super confused by the loaf of bread and asked if it’s food. I was like...wait...you’ve never seen bread?!

Turns out she had never heard of bread OR butter. I made her a slice and she teared up and said she felt American. She then ate almost exclusively toast for a week. Took her grocery shopping and showed her all the different types of bread and we had a little taste test. Sourdough was her favorite, so this San Franciscan was pleased! She made me some of her foods and I definitely stepped waaaay outside of my comfort zone and we had fun. Communicating was a little tough, but good food transcends all language barriers.

19.) From eldritch_candy:

Overly-greasy food. I remember seeing food carnivals that have many deep-fried food. Like fried oreos, fried Snickers bars and other fried food.

20.) From curly123:

Why would anyone want to eat spray cheese?

21.) From CliffCyrus:

The first thing I ever ate when I got off the plane in the USA was a big greasy slab of pepperoni pizza. You gotta understand I ate only fish, pig or some kind of bird with rice before hand. Seeing that for the first time made my stomach churn till I was encouraged enough to finally take a bite... and holy shit if I wasn't singing "A whole new world" with my taste buds after that. Soon after I tried burritos, tacos and nachos and I within a year was obese...

22.) From bankuti_b:

In our country, a pancake is more like a crêpe. And we put other thing in it and roll it up. I personally don't really know how is the maple syrup and butter can fit on a pancake. But we have a different thinking when it comes to pancake so that is a reason.

23.) From P0tat0eater:

I had a friend from Vietnam who was disgusted by cereal. He didn’t know why adults would not only drink liquid from a cow’s udders, but that they would also pour it on crispy wheat/rice/corn flakes and eat it. Soggy. With cow boob juice on it.

24.) From CircusMasterKlaus:

Korean American living in the southern US here. I cannot understand why anyone would eat chicken gizzards or chitlins. I know about the socioeconomic reasons and historical issues that led to cooking every part of an animal, but...ew.

Then again, my mom gave me squid tentacles to teethe on as a toddler, so I guess we're even.

25.) From -eDgAR-:

When I was in college my girlfriend was close friends with a Chinese exchange student. One day she's hanging out with us and we offer her a string cheese. She just takes a huge bite out of it. My girlfriend and I explained to her how you were supposed to eat and she just could not understand why anyone would want to eat cheese so slowly and tediously.

14 of the funniest responses to someone texting a wrong number.

0

Texting the wrong number on accident can be humiliating and frustrating depending on the context, but when you're on the other end of the text it can be hilarious and enlightening.

While some people call out the fact that it's a wrong number right away, others play along and see how far they can take the new connection with a stranger. How this pans out depends entirely on the good humor and attention span of the person texting the wrong number: are they down for a laugh, or are they mad you're not who they were looking for?!

Naturally, the most entertaining wrong number texting exchanges always find their way onto Twitter, so I've gathered a handful of them for you to enjoy while feverishly texting the same five people about quarantine burn out.

16 people share stories of attempts at being funny that went embarrassingly badly.

0
0

Comedy is all about timing. As in, hopefully you don't jokingly say "yo mama" when somebody's mama just died, and steering clear of Nazi jokes at the Holocaust museum.

People were brave enough to divulge stories of their most awkward, cringe-y attempts at being funny, and anyone who has ever made a joke can relate. Nobody—especially not comedians—has a perfect batting average.

1. Extremely un-kampf-ortable.

A girl had what looked like a little spot of bean dip on her upper lip, and I jokingly said that she kinda looked like Hitler. She started crying. Turns out it was a permanent scar that happened recently.

Another time I saw a girl crying at a party, and I just said "Hey, it's okay. Guys are dicks." It was kinda my go-to before this when I saw crying girls at parties, and it usually cheered them up. Turns out her boyfriend just died in a car crash.

So anyway, that's why I never talk to people anymore. -Satyrane

2. This joke crashed and burned.

Was woken up at 2am by the doorbell. Took a little while to become conscious and actually realise it was the doorbell by which time my wife was awake as well.

I go down to see who it is. It's a neighbour, as soon as I open the door he tells me there is a fire next door. Next door is a building site and a small digger was currently ablaze. Slightly concerning as gas canisters were stored on the site. I rush back upstairs and my wife has looked out the window and could see the fire right outside we decide to evacuate.

The neighbour offers to let us stay in his house (across the road) to await the fire brigade. Neighbour and his wife are lovely and very welcoming. Fire brigade turns up very quickly and put it out. As we are thanking the neighbour he apologises for waking us up, I respond with..

"Well, at least it wasn't Jehovah's Witnesses!"

He smiles but doesn't respond and me and my wife head back indoors. As the door clicks shut my wife hisses at me "They ARE Jehovah's Witnesses!" I then cringe a lot. -MonstersAbound

3. An HR headache.

My newest boss at the time had accidentally brushed my butt with her hand and said "sorry I didn't mean to." I didn't have my work-filter on so I naturally teased her a little with a wink and a "sure". She got really flustered and uncomfortable. I don't think it had anything to do with me but a week later she quit. -GroseJoy2theWorld

4. A Freudian slip?

My brother, cousins, and I used to pretend curse because we weren't allowed to actually curse around our parents. We would say things like, "Suck my dic (long pause) tionary." Our parents would complain and we would say, "I was just saying dictionary. That's not a curse." Obviously, the only way for it to work is to end the sentence with the "curse" word.

My cousins were joking around during Christmas dinner. One of them said, "Shut up and put your dick in my mouth." He meant to end his sentence with the curse word so he could expand it into dictionary, but got mixed up. His face was priceless. He just said, "Dictionary! Dictionary! I meant dictionary." That was over 20 years ago and we still make fun of him for that. -Shostakovich22

5. Good grief.

I was at a party, and a girl behind me was talking with a mouthful of food. I couldn't understand her so I said, "I could have sworn I just heard one of the adults from Charlie Brown." A few people laughed, and I didn't think much about it.

Later on, the host of the party told me that she has a speech impediment. -el-toro-loco

6. Bad luck for both of them.

It was early in the season and my coach didn't really know everyone's name and background. Us kids knew each other pretty well, however. We began practice and he noticed our motivation was low and we kinda moped through the drills even the fun ones. Half way through practice he finally said, "come on guys what's wrong? You all look like your mothers just died." Well turns out a week ago ones of our teammate's mother had died of cancer leaving her devastated family behind. So yeah, that was pretty awkward. -mallardman57

7. This joke required an advanced vocabulary of bird terms.

During my first ever interview for a job, my would-be boss asked me: "Have you ever been convicted of a crime?". At this point, all the questions had been straightforward and all my answers had been as well. I decided that it was necessary to show off my charismatic side by telling a joke, and decided that there was no better time then right there as a response to his question.

I said: "Well, I was once arrested for attempted murder."

Interviewer: "Wait . . . What?"

Me: "Yeah, I had two crows and was trying to get a third." I looked at him expecting him to somehow just get that a group of crows is called a murder of crows. I did not get the job. -Heinrich-The-Dork

8. Well that one's on the audience.

I broke my back ~12 weeks prior and was still pretty sick and wheelchair bound. So I was out with a group of friends whom I hadn't seen since the accident. They asked "Where do you want to sit?" I simply deadpanned and went "I can sit wherever." I thought it was funny but a few of them went white as the wall. -theunluckychild

9. Oh mother.

I've only tried to use "yo mama" jokingly twice in my entire life. Both times, the person's mother had died unbeknownst to me. -OctoSash

10. He wasn't up for the Challenger.

A few months after the space shuttle exploded in 1986, we had an assembly at our school from the folks at NASA or somesuch.

We knew there was gonna be a Q&A after and we started goading our pal into raising his hand and telling one of the many space shuttle jokes that had been going around for months. Specifically, this one: "How many astronauts can fit in a Volkswagen? Two in front, two in back, and seven in the ashtray."

Q&A comes up and we are needling buddy. "Come on, man, raise your hand." Well he finally did but he either chickened out or couldn't tell a joke to save his life. He asked "How many astronauts can fit in a car?

We are already laughing. The lecturer either has been living under a rock or was unfamiliar with the jokes because he straightforwardly asked "How many?"

Weird pause. "Seven." That's it. The rest of the school didn't laugh, actually. There was this weird, deflating feeling that happened. The instructor wrapped it up. The teacher glared at my pal.

He got detention. -JJGerms

11. Some people have daddy joke issues.

This guy I work with showed us a picture of a buff shirtless dude on a motorcycle and said,"this is what I want to be one day". So I said "wow it's going to take you a long time to turn yourself into a motorcycle" and he gave me the most evil look. It was around other coworkers as well and only a few people laughed about it. It was so awkward with how offensive he took the joke. -cecebeme

12. Jesus Christ.

We were at a church wedding where the minister felt the need to tell what he thought was an "amusing" story during his sermon.

He talked about "a wedding where everyone else was ready to go except for the groom, who didn't show up. Turns out that he was found on the course with his one true love: golf!"

The bride was furious and interrupted his sermon to say that she felt "his so-called humor was inappropriate and to please get on with the ceremony." -Back2Bach

13. Layers on layers of cringe.

When we were young kids whenever we asked my mom what was cooking for dinner she'd reply "your underwear" lol. So one day my stepdad is standing in the doorway, distracted by something on tv, and my sister asks "what smells so good?" And he quickly replies "your underwear" trying to be funny. He still hasn't lived that one down. -tihanachu

14. First rule of pranking: walk into the right room.

This happened to me yesterday. My younger cousin had spent the majority of our beach vacation playing video games in the game room of the house we rented. The house was enormous and it was easy to get turned around with several floors and bedrooms we had about 20 people staying in the house. After several days of pestering him to come out and enjoy the beach/family I had it in my mind to open up the game room door quickly and yell "boo!" Well...I did...and it wasn't the game room. It was my mom's friend struggling to get out of her wet bathing suit. She screamed and hit her hip on the dresser leaving a nasty bruise. I'm mortified to say the least. -drivingriley

15. Incest hits close to home (pun intended).

My ex girlfriend had made a new friend at university and wanted to go out to town with her, so I called up my mate and we all went out together.

While we were in the pub, I made a joke about incest. I can't quite remember what the joke was, but it made sense with the story. My mate laughed, but my ex and her new friend were stone silent.

My phone vibrates about a minute later, I check it to see a text from my then girlfriend.

The text read "her parents' are cousins you f*cking idiot."

Needless to say it was an awkward night. -ChiefBigwilly

16. Wrong place, wrong time.

In middle school, we visited Washington, D.C. for a field trip. While in the Holocaust Memorial, some kid had his phone out, and one of the workers there asked him to put it away. This kid (LOUDLY) said "Fine! You don't have to be such a Nazi!" -LawBelle10

26 people share the stingiest thing they've ever seen someone do.

It's totally normal to be frugal or careful with money, especially when you don't have a lot of it. But some people take this principal way too far, unnecessarily hoarding their resources or trying to rip off friends and family. And oftentimes, the people most guilty of this kind of compulsive penny-pinching are the ones with the least amount of financial insecurity.

Shappi Khorsandi, a comic and author from the UK, shared a story that highlights this kind of behavior, and asked others to share their stories of people being ridiculously "tight" (aka cheap) with their money.

She writes:

Whats the tightest thing anyone has ever done to you? When I was an A level student (skint) a (rich, got a huge allowance) friend only half finished her jacket potato in a cafe. I asked if I could finish it (no pride). She said 'sure, you'll have to give me 50p though' Beat that?

Turns out, many others had stories of cheapskates to rival this woman who charged her friend for an unfinished potato. These 26 people share stories of the stingiest behavior they've ever seen:

19 of the funniest tweets from women who are finding the humor in quarantine.

0
0

Quarantine has definitely been an interesting journey so far...

When was the last time we wore pants? Just taking a poll here. Do we even have pants anymore? What day is it, what's my middle name and why do I now refer to the dog as a "valuable team member?" If everything feels like you're living in the slow montage of a rom-com when the lead gets dumped and reverts to a daily pint of ice cream in sweatpants, you're definitely not alone. However, we must socially distance and support our local essential and frontline workers! Flatten the curve, defend our heroes, and save lives--on three!

While it might not seem very heroic to never leave your home and watch a series of embarrassing reality dating shows, that's where we're at right now. Since it's an incredibly stressful time, we could certainly all use a laugh! Luckily, we found the best tweets (from women!) during this quarantine.

Enjoy and stay safe, everyone!

30 of the weirdest and worst photos real estate agents have ever posted.

0
0

In most cases, real estate listings feature a slide show of glossy, well-lit and appealing photos that are misleading if anything.

The angles are perfectly manicured to make spaces look more expansive, the photographs are strategically taken during the golden hour, and everything is polished and bare, or staged for Instagram. While it can be soothing to look through these beautiful listings, it can also be exhausting parsing how true the representations are.

However, for every hundred gorgeous real estate shots there is at least one bizarre or straight up creepy photo that made its way onto the internet.

Luckily, for the realists among us, the Instagram account Terrible Real Estate Photos is dedicated to digging up the absolute worst photos advertising homes on the market.

While the whole account is a glorious wade into the marsh of ugly realtor shots and undoubtedly haunted houses, I have gathered 30 of my favorites from the line-up for your enjoyment.

1. This room you can smell through the photo.

2. This face off between appliances.

3. This gorgeous bathroom shot.

4. This well-lit shot of a captive bear.

5. The most welcoming vibe.

6. Who among us doesn't want a toilet next to the bed?!

7. This ominous gym ball, looming, waiting to haunt the next tenants.

8. This tasteful painting of a woman breast-feeding a dog.

9. There is nothing more welcoming than a haunted piano sitting atop a decorative carcass.

10. This lonely sofa, gazing into the abyss of the camera, beckoning you.

11. Nothing like a few tasteful splatters of blood to lower the price.

12. This is a perfect room for anyone who wants to reenact "The Virgin Suicides."

13. When "That 70s Show" meets Medieval Times.

14. Big NOPE energy.

15. When you turn your dining room into a nightmare scene from the board game Candyland.

17 of the funniest tweets from people who still have no idea what day it is.

Does anyone know what day of quarantine it is, or are we living in a "everything that has ever happened and will happen is happening right now" universe?

In case you're not sure, today is Purple 700th in the month of the Giraffe. Rather, it's Thursday? Maybe. There's truly no way of knowing...

Quarantine is starting to feel a lot like the montage in a movie before the lead character gets their act together and changes their life. Lots of sweatpants. Lots of snacks. Lots of staring out the window while it rains and wondering what it's like to be outside and talk to other people besides the volleyball you now call your friend. We're getting weird! However, social distancing is incredibly important and our main job right now is support frontline workers and staying home if we can.

Last week we brought you funny tweets from people who still didn't know what day it is, and this week is no different. Enjoy and stay safe, everyone!

20 people share the red flags that make them avoid a potential new friend.

0

It's common to look out for red flags when you're starting to date someone new, but too many of us pass over them when making a new friends.

Since friendship doesn't usually involve sex, cohabitation, and the potential for an endless future, it's easy to hold lower standards for who you let in.

But alas, there are plenty of flaming red flags to look out for in potential pals, and ignoring them can often lead to frustrating or toxic friendships.

In a popular Reddit thread, people shared the red flags that make them run from a potential new friendship, and it's useful to note these behaviors both in others and ourselves.

1. From im_a_bullfrog:

They hit you up and act all friendly, make tentative plans, then immediately ask for something.

2. From Horror-mrs:

Someone who’s always sees themselves as the victim even when they’re in the wrong.

3. From coolshtuff:

If you feel like you have to change yourself to get along with them.

4. From matertua:

If one of the first conversation you have with people ends up with them bad mouthing their other friends, I'd keep my distance. Because you know deep down that they will talk like that about you too.

5. From ProfessorGigs:

When they talk at you, not with you.

6. From pluggyjf:

They don't ask you any questions about you but will talk about themselves all day long.

7. From spoonythirtywon:

"Mind if I smoke"

Then they pull out a meth pipe.

8. From theirphore:

Asking to “borrow” money.

9. From AceDrakon:

When people only talk and hang out with you when they need something from you.

10. From millsgamedev:

When they keep trying to top you. "Oh yeah? well I did THIS!"

11. From cloudsarehats:

If someone only ever talks about themselves, never asks how you're doing. That's a one way street I have no interest walking down.

12. From catlover2303:

Getting super close really quick is a red flag for me. The last time that happened I was the “rebound” and the person only befriended me in spite of their ex bff.

13. From Bobcatluv:

Like romantic relationships, people moving too fast. I fell into two relationships like this -one where the woman called me her “best friend” after knowing each other less than a month and the other a woman asking me to be her bridesmaid after only hanging out together about 5 times. They both turned out to be awful narcissists and were likely using love bombing to earn my friendship.

14. From saggyshiro:

Unprovoked passive aggression.

15. From Halo462:

When you can clearly hear them rummaging through your bathroom cabinets while talking to themselves for 30 minutes, which happened this past weekend. That ended the new "friendship" very quickly.

16. From viking162:

Instantly wanna spend time with me 24/7 and gets offended and takes it personally if I can’t hang out or simply don’t want to.

17. From ChiTownSinatra:

When you don’t like them. I swear people miss this one all the time.

18. From unrelator:

For me, as a gay man, it's when a girl makes a comment about having/needing a gay best friend, or says something like "gay people are soo funny" or clearly starts to treat me differently (in a superficial way) when they find out I'm gay. It makes me immediately see them as shallow and I feel like I'm being used as an accessory.

19. From StarfishBlubBlub:

Someone who constantly talks about how they suffer from so and so mental disorder and uses that as their excuse to act the way they do.

(I am fully supportive of any mental disorder and have full sympathy and support of anyone suffering from mental disorders, this is purely personal experience).

20. From Mister_Met:

If the person rants and raves about politics and doesn’t discuss anything else, ever.

21. From tootmyfloot:

You catch them lying, or changing their story as they tell it from person to person. Always a sign that they are perpetual liars.
