For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
The reverse toilet paper thing is useful when you have pet that’s like to mess with it.
But either way is ok for me, I guess.
I mean, I couldn’t care fewer about it.
Weather it’s one way or the other, my cat will still pull all the sheets out.
i don’t record or watch vertical videos
Same. Don’t get me wrong, short form content is okay (I prefer long form). But the shit you see on Tick Tock and YouTube Shorts is so ridiculous that I can’t help but reactively close the app out of self preservation…
It all started when someone wanted to fry chicken in Pepto-Bismol…
The most pointless hill I will die on is the whole regardless, irregardless thing.
They mean the same thing, but irregardless is redundant. My friend uses that word purely because he knows it pisses me off.
I can only assume your friend is the one who downvoted you
Also, I say “irregardless” when I want to sound like the mobster from It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia
No. Some rando found the comments in my profile and are down voting all my comments. Lol I don’t care though. If they get gratification for it I hope they’re happy.
Sorry, friend. That sounds very toxic. I hope they stop soon
I’m sure they will and if they don’t… Eh? It’s not a big deal
If something’s rate of hype is too fast for my internal meter, I will become immediately skeptical of the trend/show/etc. and not care about it, solely because everyone is caring about it too much and too fast.
YYYY/MM/DD
Don’t even get me started on this one…
If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way, I don’t give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.
we all know it’s actually pronounced “yiff”
uwu
Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced “Gah-nome”, or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way
or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced
But they did! You’re the one who fucked it up by using an “x” (Latin letter x) instead of a “χ” (Greek letter chi).
(Also, you didn’t capitalize or format it correctly. It’s supposed to be rendered as “LAΤΕΧ”, and yes, those last three letters are
Τ Ε ΧGreek capital tau, epsilon, chi.)🤓
New hill: All brand names must be composed entirely of pronounceable characters from languages in actual use today
from languages in actual use today
Nuh uh
Gnome is spelt the way they want it to be said. Are you suggesting that gnome should be pronounced ‘nome’ like the garden ornament with a silent g.
Is it not?
CEREAL FIRST, THEN MILK!!! COLD MILK! I DON’T CARE HOW YOUR MOM USED TO FIX IT, THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY!!!
Sure you do it this way the first time… But what if I want seconds? That chocolate milk (I love Coco Pebbles) is just sitting there waiting for more cereal. I can’t let the milk starve!
A simple one I think, I refuse to call twitter by other names.
I’ve never actually heard anyone call it X before, unless they were making a joke about the whole thing. Everybody I know still calls it Twitter. Calling it X is just embarrassing.
It’s concrete, not cement. (Sidewalks for example, or foundations of buildings, etc)
Cement is an ingredient in concrete.
I learned something new today.
“white chocolate” doesn’t exist. It’s just sugar and a little bit of cocoa butter. It’s edible wax. It’s not chocolate and it doesn’t belong in any assortment of sweets, ever. Cocoa butter is skin moisturizer and that’s it.
The most delicious edible wax I’ve ever had.
Stick to the side of the path your country drives on or at least move to that side if someones comming the otherway. I don’t get how this isn’t common knowledge but it also doesn’t matter all that much.
Except when you’re walking on a road, you should walk on the opposite side of vehicle traffic.
And going out of the way, instead of stubbornly coming towards me as if you own this road and I couldn’t run you over.
Preach brotha.
“Spectacle Fighter”.
In the late aughts, game critic Ben “Yathzee” Croshaw came up with that term to describe games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, beat-em-up type games where the point is less “can you get through” and more “how high can you get that combo meter? How COOL can you make yourself look while beating up all these fodder enemies?”
A few years later the industry coalesced on an agreed-upon term for this subgenre – And called it “Character Action”.
Yathzee has just accepted defeat and uses the term everyone uses, he has to, he works in games media.
I refuse. Character Action is a dumb, DUMB term because every action game is a character action game, because there is ACTION and CHARACTERS in all of them.
Whereas “Spectacle Fighter” was perfectly descriptive of just WHAT made those games special. You are FIGHTING, and the objective is to LOOK SPECTACULAR.
And here I thought it was an oxymoron.
its “I could not care less” and not “I could care less”. This one drives me nuts
I agree with this statement, but I never notice its wrong until someone points it out. Then my inner grammar teacher has an aneurysm and I go off on a tangent.
It’s so close to being right that you don’t think about it, until you do. Then OCD sets in.
The word “literally” has been forever ruined by people who use it to mean “figuratively.” Worse, there is now literally no way to actually convey the original meaning of the word “literally” in a concise, clear way.
You have to say something like, “A is literally 10 times bigger than B…and I mean that ACTUALLY literally.” And then people will STILL assume that you’re speaking figuratively.
The same can be said about “ignorant”. Calling a person ignorant because they say something that peeves you, doesn’t make them ignorant. It makes them infuriating. Idk how often people use the word ignorant in this way, but my mother does and doesn’t get it when I call her ignorant about ignorant.
