I play Switch games while on my treadmill. The split controller works perfectly for that and makes it easy to forget I’m walking.

Everything in this thread so far is normal stuff I could have guessed. Guns, metric, tipping, etc. Most of it has large groups of people in the country that agree, or at least know.
What are some non-obvious things? Culture shock isn’t about major political issues. It’s about universal things that turn out to not be universal.
For example, US people have a strong culture of how standing in line works. It’s basically a moral sin to butt in line unless you have someone holding your place. This is universal in the country. My understanding is that other countries differ. Is that true?
The trick is to just respond with “Hi” then look away. Conversation over.
No, it’s a lie. They wouldn’t say yes, so saying that they would say yes is a lie.
Playing Switch games while walking on a treadmill. I always found exercise boring before, but the split controller of the Switch makes it easy to play while walking.
I have found I don’t even notice I’m walking and look forward to it since I’m actually looking forward to gaming.
Dark Souls while walking is the best. I’ve walked about 140 miles in the last month.
Only thing I care about is that they keep the split controller design. It’s the only controller I can easily use while walking on a treadmill. Holding a controller with two hands while walking is awkward. The split controller allows me to swing my arms normally.
Netflix DVD delivery did, yes. It’s also shutting down in September, which is sad.
I personally prefer silence over radio.
Everyone here is negative, but I don’t know why cable didn’t die 25 years ago when Netflix showed up. I certainly have not had any interest in it since then. Then again, I play games far more than I watch movies, so I am not a typical consumer.
Just celebrated my 111th birthday. Now I’m off to visit the Lonely Mountain again.
Rethinking Thin
The concept of calorie counting works. Just paying attention to how many calories all food has, results in changed behavior. At least, it did for me.
75% rye chips. The rest can be whatever
Lot of star power in this thread!
I’m going to go with George Carlin. Maybe that’s just me wishing I was that witty though.
I understand the downvotes, but that law really needs reforming. The labels need to say in what way it can cause harm. I remember seeing a piece of wood (pressboard) labelled as carcinogenic at Home Depot. I couldn’t figure out what that meant. Is it ok as long as I don’t burn it? Is it bad to breath near it? Is it only dangerous if I eat it?
Labels need to be more specific about possible dangers.
Fun video given I have no experience with the Lynx. I saw a few good ones in there. Most game libraries seem to be dross with a few great titles and this one is no different.
Well, I’m convinced from that preview. Looks like the full movie is on youtube. Will have to check it out!
I had to scroll all the way to the end to see someone else who loves chunks and marshmallows in their ice cream.
I like multiple textures. Gooey marshmallow, crunchy chips. Put it all in there.
I think that would fit the xkcd criteria for a positive unpopular opinion. I haven’t checked rotten tomatoes though.
Personally, the only modern Star Wars movie that blew my socks off was Rogue One. All the rest were either ok, or, not that great. But RO was absolutely amazing.
For painters, dickblick.com sells Liquitex and Golden paint cheaper than Amazon.
Dark Souls II I am really enjoying it. I think this is my new 2nd favorite souls game after DS1.
