    The twizzlers in this package are all tangled together. It's hard to eat uncollimated twizzlers. Now I'm not an expert in optics or food extrusion, but it seems like a twizzler laser would easily solve this problem.

    My wife is learning Danish from duolingo. As far as I can tell, it has only taught her the verb "to eat" and the names of a bunch of animals. Whenever she's practicing it's like a Noah's ark of animals eating each other two by two.

    I’m a reasonable guy, I follow all the tall guy rules: stand in the back at concerts, help people reach things, etc. All I ask in return is that everybody who slams their airplane seat back be sent to the Hague.

    Okay here goes Sarah Jeong, Jason Koebler, Vice Magazine, and me. I know it's not great, I say what I can and it's understandable if that's unsatisfactory. I think it does give a better idea of my experience though. RT if you think it's helpful.

    Got fancy new loaf pans, so instead of eating dinner I've been waiting for bread to rise for hours. I'm starving, but on an empty stomach this Negroni is way more effective at making me not care.

    I almost bought 40 of these to keep 10 and return as 30 at a net cost at 58 cents. Then I realized I should not ignore the negative solutions to this linear algebra problem: You want to buy 2x50+20 for $19.97 and then return one as a 60, netting 60 units for -1 cent.

    Would like to know the equivalent rules in other languages!

    You can make any noun into an insult by adding “utter,” “complete” or “absolute” in front of it. Doesn’t even have to be a negative noun, it just reads that way! You utter doorknob You complete onion You absolute carpet fuzz

    Forcing me to switch from annual to monthly billing has got me thinking about cancelling my barely-used 12 times as often.
