We're all equal.

To borrow from Animal Farm, "We're all equal, but some are more equal than others".

If you'd like a second opinion on animal farm and Orwell in general.

“It doesn’t matter what they think”

phoenixz ,

That is actually true. Let people think what they want

BradleyUffner ,

Only true for people that have no power or control over your life.

intensely_human ,

So it works for people who live alone in dimension X

The garbagemen did not come back looking for me every week. They just came to pickup the garbage and not to take me away.

My older cousin convinced me the color red is linked to the spirit world. I believed it so much I actually started to see "spirits" when I was a kid.

We don't lick other people.

MTK ,

Are you saying that we do?

P1nkman ,

I lick my wife. And my previous girlfriends. So some of us actually lick other people.

  • My grandma always told me that if you push to hard while pooping your organs will come out. Technically hemorrhoids can do that but they are not really organs.

  • Microwaves cause cancer.

KittenBiscuits ,

Not only hemorrhoids but you can also get diverticula from straining too hard too often. They don't go away once they form, and can become infected (diverticulitis) which is most unpleasant. Pain like kidney stones or appendicitis.

your organs will come out

Hernia is also a possibility.

But you have to be pressing really hard and have other problems in connective tissue to have that.

MisterD ,

They go away for some but you need to cut out caffeine. ( coffee, chocolate, etc)

Prolapse is a thing. Good luck googling that.

Nothing good happens after midnight.

That becomes true again once you turn 40

Today ,

If you have kids, you'll get a second wind when they're gone. Our adult son was staying with us for a while. We came in about 3:00 a.m. and scared the shit out of him because he thought we were upstairs asleep.

All the best stuff happens after midnight!

That talking to strangers was bad.

That strangers are bad and cops are good.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

That there isn't good and bad of each.

Men are logical. Women are emotional.

Such an enormous generalization and oversimplification. Very false.

It gets better.

It can. I hope it does for you.

That the crust is the healthiest part of the bread

Or the tastiest.

supercriticalcheese ,

that it is

Appoxo ,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

HIGHLY depends on the bread.

supercriticalcheese ,

True, there needs to be a crust to begin with and cooked sufficiently to be crunchy at the desired level.

LowtierComputer ,

It can be good for your teeth.

Or crush them. Depending on hardness.

When I was being taken into surgery they told me we were going into space and gave me gas that they said was to breathe in space. I didn't realize I hadn't actually been to space until I was like eight years old or something like that. Probably older.

That a state can't print money

lud ,

Why did you hear that as a child? Of course the state prints money, how else would money exist in the first place if no one made the money?

sushibowl ,

Might be talking about the United States specifically. IIRC the constitution denies individual states the right to mint coin or issue bills of credit, that is a prerogative of the federal government.

pingveno ,

When the Constitution was being drafted, all of the thirteen original states had their own currency, plus the Continental currency. It was a mess. A few years later, they set up the US dollar, US mint, and so forth.

Cysioland ,
@Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml avatar

It was in the context of limiting public spending. That the state can't just print more money when it runs out of money.
