I’m a D gal myself ;)

I’m horrific at math, but even I know this shit. I do feel for her though. When you suck at math, even if the answer is easy and you have it right, you constantly second guess yourself because getting the right answer feels too easy, so surely I’m wrong, right? Because it’s math and I’m always wrong.

I realize it’s a legit school, but the “Mailman School of Public Health” just makes it sound like it’s an article from The Onion.

It’s because the coffee makes you shit the cancer right out

I remember learning that there was a joke (but quite possibly legit) notion that the reason there’s that huge, sharp indent in the Jordanian border is because Winston Churchill was drunk while he was splitting up the map and hiccuped, and that’s how that weird part of the border came to be.

Exactly! Or when you’re taking a left at a light and there are two turning lanes, I like to know if the next step will be a left or a right so I know what lane to get into, and how far away that next turn is.

When using Google Maps for driving directions, you can swipe left and it will show/speak the next upcoming step. I had no idea about this and I’ve been using Google maps for ages.

Ugh, cooked apples are the WORST. They’re like slimy slugs baked into a pie! Or baked cherries or raisins, and they get all fat and gross and pop in your mouth and the guts come out! Aggghh!

No applesauce unless it’s an ingredient in a recipe, like I make a banging apple cider bread, but after it bakes you’d never know there was apple sauce in it.

I didn’t know deep-fried battered bananas was a thing, but I don’t eat bananas, either, deep-fried or otherwise! Ironically, I do like “fake” banana flavor, line banana Runts candy or banana flavored jelly beans.

I also don’t eat cooked fruit, it’s definitely a texture thing for me. Cooked fruit is slimy and gross and just ruins anything it touches. I don’t like jam, pudding, or flan or Jello or anything else with that consistency.

Same for me. I definitely don’t go there to browse anymore, but occasionally I’ll have a question and my search will produce answers on Reddit, and sometimes I’ll look there to get information. I wish Lemmy was on that level now. Maybe in a few years!

Math. I’m embarrassingly bad at math, like can’t do it in my head, don’t get the math meme jokes, can’t add fractions even on paper bad. I took 3 remedial math classes in college before they let me take the one that actually counted for credit. Just thinking about doing math gives me anxiety. I know I could get all sorts of better-paying jobs if I was better at it, but it’s like my brain refuses to learn it beyond the basics. I really envy anyone who’s good at it.

This reminds me of a joke: What do you call a person who fails medical school?

A dentist.

I had a diabetic cat, he lived to the age of 18. He was a total asshole, but I loved him enough to give him insulin shots every 12 hours, every day. It made traveling out of town a pain, and it was expensive. I ended up buying my coworker’s child’s open insulin bottles off of her because it was cheaper (it was the mom’s idea, the insulin was just gonna be thrown out anyway).

I did feel a sense of relief when he finally died, but he was worth the effort.

This is the right answer, and the one that many people hate to hear. Plenty of articles on this topic, but here’s one from Science.org that gets straight to the point:

The best way to reduce your carbon footprint is one the government isn’t telling you about

To me, the issue isn’t that you confirming he was cute is inappropriate. As others have stated, kittens are cute, babies are cute, etc, etc. What I find weird is why is he even asking? Why does he care about whether or not you think he was cute at that age? I’ve shown pics of myself to partners plenty of times and never have I asked them “Was I cute?” Why does he need this type of approval from you on a topic that’s irrelevant (he is no longer a child)?

Was it still edible?

Sometimes I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the morning coffee grinds before adding water. One day I accidentally added dried garlic flakes instead.
