I heard two people arguing about whether or not someone farted.
I had an argument with my partner that they got to sit in bed on their phone for 10 minutes while I had to get up and care for the newborn. They were paying bills. I was still jealous. The argument ended with us both agreeing we were tired and would send the kid to daycare and nap.
Not one that I overheard but one that I was involved in:
I said that I didn’t like bright yellow. This apparently was extremely offensive to the friend I was dating at the time and he had to convince me that I was wrong and there is no room for opinion on the matter of color preferences.
A coworker insisted that preferring a silver- colored phone over a black one is racist.
I don’t know where people come up with these things.
I’m curious what your neighbor thinks about a nice tie-dye?
Is a hot dog a taco? Heard that one at dinner tonight.
A hot dog is 100% a taco. The real debate is whether or not a hot dog/taco is a sandwich.
To answer this, you first need to solve two other questions: First, what would you consider to be bread? Second, whether a sandwich requires two separate pieces of bread. Is a wrap a sandwich? Most would consider a tortilla to at least be a form of bread, but it’s only one piece. A gyro, made with flatbread? What if it’s one solid piece of bread that is totally sealed, like a hot pocket, calzone, or Asian dumpling? Is dumpling considered “bready” enough to count? Or do we not count it because it’s not leavened?
And that brings us back to the taco argument. Do we consider a taco a sandwich? If we consider a wrap a sandwich, I would argue yes. Because the only functional difference between a taco and a wrap is how big the tortilla is. And if a taco is a sandwich, then a hot dog would also be considered a sandwich.
There are some questions that make you think. Is a hot dog a sandwich? Does a toilet paper roll have 1 or 2 holes? Is a cereal bowl with milk a soup?
Then there are some questions that kill your brain. Is a hot dog a taco? Wtf?
I’ve never heard that one, but I have heard people argue for a hot dog being a sandwich.
Not one I overheard but one were I was overheard. In Paris at a restaurant where my girlfriend and I (anglophones) commented on the couples baby beside us. She said it was such a cute baby. I countered the most babies are cute so it should go without saying. You really only have to comment when they are butt ugly like in Seinfeld. It was a fun discussion which made us both laugh. Mid meal the couple got up and said in English that they enjoyed it too.
That’s kind of wholesome :)
“it was an awkward gesture or autism or someting…”
I have a friend who said “misunderstood autistic billionaire”
They use xitter on a daily basis and apparently just write off all the pro Nazi content
Your friend might be a Nazi.
Jeff Foxworthy has “You might be a redneck”, and the current government has “You might be a nazi”
What the heck?
Whether the Newport Jazz Festival was in Europe, because she knew it was in Europe, because that’s the only time she’d been to Europe.
Difficulty rating: we were within 100 miles of Newport, Rhode Island, at the time. 2 hours in a car.
Rhode Island is Europe, right?
Maybe soon they’ll annex, but currently no. RI might hope.
I mean the whole area is New England! It’s got England right in the name!
If specific people existed when they where right in front of them existing. Those people are LGBT people and it’s happening to much.
What a stupid argument indeed. 😓 I knew someone who told their friend, TO MY FACE, that non-binary people don’t exist. I guess I’m not real.
Also, are you perchance plural? So are we :)
Shouldn’t that be “So are we”?
Good catch!
Yes I am… We are. I use I instead of we because people don’t understand it and it’s easier in online spaces to just use I instead of we.
Yeah, I agree
that we should worry about the feelings of Nazis.
Make nazis Afraid Again
“Grandpa, Israel isn’t a state, it’s a country!”
This was a woman in her 20s, if I had to guess
I don’t think that’s weird. A lot of people don’t know that “the state” means “the country” unless you are specifically talking about individual states within a country. I can see how that could be confusing for somebody who doesn’t know better.
I’m reminded of when I was in like 8th grade or something and I was confused about how the UK can be a country but England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland are also countries. Similar concept.
Not an argument but I once heard my neighbor casually (but loudly) discuss with someone how she could only orgasm anally
Hey, don’t judge.
I’m not hear to kink-shame. It was just surprising to overhear
she was just letting you know.
“I have an open
backdoor policy” - op’s neighbour.
Overheard on a game chat recently. Two guys arguing whether 100 guys could take on a silverback gorilla. One of them insisted that silverbacks have impenetrable skin lol.
armed?
human’s technology is our evolutionary advantage. a single human- even a weak one- could kill a gorilla if it had an appropriate rifle or shotgun.
unarmed? dude might have a point… I’m not sure a hundred people could fight a gorilla at the same time.
They have way more strength muscle and much less endurance muscle. 1v1 x50 followed by 5v1 might work
Are we talking human-shaped automatons or actual humans? Cause if you tell me I’m up first to 1v1 that gorilla unarmed, I’m noping the fuck out of there.
also, I’m not sure we could muster enough strength to actually harm it without some sort of tool.
I figure after it rips the first guy to shredds, everybody else decides it’s a stupid idea and the gorilla wins by default.
Unarmed lol
