That’s never happened to me unless I had maybe some dirt on my hands or on my body where I rubbed lotion on. Could that be what happened? Maybe some small dirt particles collected lotion and made little bits ?

Same! And then it even started the same way. I was already laughing at a good prank

Maybe it’s not surprising but as an X-ray tech we wear a badge that records our radiation exposure. Every quarter it gets read and if our exposure is too high I can’t work anymore. Maybe for the rest of the year, maybe forever. I’ve never heard of that actually happening though.

Thank you that was great to watch

I like this story. I hope the nice bat is flying around now chomping mosquitoes

This was great. I’m locked in!

I’m speechless. I have no speech. How on earth can a person wake up in the morning and have a thought like this.

Subsistence farming is a terrible way to live

Ma’am are you okay?

I live in a major city but like I’m in a bad neighborhood so there’s only one grocery store within 5 miles. It makes no sense. A food desert in a major city so that I’m forced to drive just to like get screws from a hardware store or toilet paper or something

I want to stop ruminating about things I wish I would have said or some stupid thing I did say or why did I do that

For reference, this is Brawny paper towels where the sheets are perforated the other direction, allowing you to actually tear a half sheet. This is what “select a size” should mean.

Haven’t visited Reddit since I came here last summer. I love it here. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours

Keep trying though

They’re called “spaceships”

Americans created jazz and blues, and hollywood movies. All people the world over know American movies to the point that things like “I’ll be back” or “and my axe” are universal. That’s American culture. You know the “great American songbook”? So does everyone in the world. This is American culture.

My friend I respectfully disagree. You can get a cheeseburger anywhere in the world. I’ve had one in Hong Kong, Kolkata, Copenhagen, and Croatia. I’ve heard American pop music everywhere. Visit any other country and listen to the radio. In Italy you will hear one station with Italian music, and several with American music.

Anywhere in Europe or South America or Central America or Asia you will find English speakers. Have you traveled ? Everyone speaks English. Not every person, but English is the universal language in this world. Do you know why? It’s not because of England. It’s because of the prevalence of American movies, TV, and music. In other words: America has so much culture people don’t even see the forest for the trees. Like OP said, and even you can’t see it. Bro go eat a Big Mac and think about life. EDIT: sorry for taking that tone at the end, that was unnecessary. I’m on vacation in Rome and I’ve had a bit of wine. I saw the Pantheon today! Its incredible! You just turn the corner and bam! “M Agrippa…”

Ya for sure it’s a difference. Both are awesome. I’m an east coast Jew, obviously raised in bagels and lox. But now I live on the west coast where Jews are rare and strange. People here don’t know words like “lox” or “shmear”, so sometimes I just call it smoked salmon the way you might call latkes “potato pancakes”.

But now my new brother in law manages a salmon hatchery and gives us jars of smoked salmon he makes and it’s so unbelievably good. Is lox cured instead of smoked? Idk. Both great. It’s splitting hairs really, isn’t it? Salmon is so good!

Many people call it lox. You can too!

Lox still means smoked salmon. It may not be a word you use but many people do.

Yes that’s how languages evolve. It’s interesting, isn’t it?
