  • The discrepancy between the size of pockets in men's and women's pants is nuts. I can comfortably fit an entire iPad Mini in my pants pockets, while my gf is lucky to fit her phone in her's.

  • Not to be confused with the British comedian and former host of Fool Us.

  • Oh, I sucked as an organist. Never mastered the pedals. I do have a doctorate in music however. I mostly play the harpsichord and clavichord.

  • I subbed as an organist for a few weeks at a Christian Scientist church. They don't believe in germs, but they had plenty of hand soap in the bathrooms.

  • For similar reasons, I feel like Gameboy Advanced cartridges were the optimal size for handheld consoles. Switch cartridges are so tiny and fragile.

  • I thought the ribbon cables inside PCs was where memory was stored. I remember at like age 6 watching my older sister upgrade the RAM of our family computer (a 486 machine I think) and seeing all the mess of ribbon cables in the inside and I assumed that was memory. I guess because it reminded me of the tape inside a cassette?

  • What is it with Ricks?

  • Imagine if Office '97 was officially named and sold as 'Clippy' back in the day.

  • We're going to see a lot of recycled political cartoons from 2003.

  • I'm not sure. It was about the "turbo" button on 80s PCs, and how its function could be confusing to users depending on how it was wired. You look at the talk page and edit history there's still a lot of arguments about this.

  • I once posted a Wikipedia article to r/TodayILearned, and my post went really popular. Someone a few hours later then edited the Wikipedia page to contradict my Reddit post title, reported my post to the subreddit mods, and my post got taken down.

  • My great grandfather tailored some clothes for President LBJ. It was after he left office I think.

  • "Do you know the history of ketchup? It's really quite interesting..."— me at the Christmas office party just after listening to a three hour podcast about the history of ketchup.

  • I don't know if anyone else can relate to this, but this is what the arrow on those self-applied airplane luggage tag stickers feels like to me. For a while I kept peeling off the wrong half because the arrow isn't pointing in a direction that makes sense to me. Iirc, the arrow is pointing towards the part of the sticker you don't peel off, while at the same time being on the part that you do peel off. To me, the arrow should be pointing towards the part you peel off; that seems more intuitive to me for some reason.

  • Propose to my gf.

  • I've never seen someone get so worked up about the 18th century opera composer Christoph Willibald Gluck.

  • Where do you buy lead foil?

  • This is just your average scene from season 3 of Strange New Worlds.

  • I can sort of relate. I'm fat as fuck, but I really like salads and veggies. When I go out to eat, my (much smaller) partner will order like a steak and potatoes, and I might order like a chicken cobb salad, not because I'm dieting, but I because I really wanted a dinner salad. And like half the time they give the salad to my partner and give me the steak.
