Someone Asked “What Is The Smallest Hill You’ll Die On?”, And 41 People Delivered

I would have walked out without ordering and told them "If your menu is only on the internet then provide the internet"

That's just infuriating. Thankfully, most places I've been to still have paper menus but if I come across that QR code b******t, I'm just walking out of the place and finding somewhere with an actual menu.

Don’t think I’d have even tried. Can’t get a menu? I’m outta here.

100000%. And no cell phones with cameras either, documenting all of my poor decisions to be dug up decades later to judge me based on ever-changing societal standards.

It was bad enough getting picked on by one person as a kid, but I can't imagine what it would be like if it happened now.

I'm soooooo happy I'm not on social media.

I wish I didn’t have to grow up with this. Y’all are lucky more than you know. The pressure, judging, and hidden tyranny that the community brings upon people unbeknownst to them. It’s everyone’s fault, and nobody’s at the same time.

Oh, yes. I knew that after 3:00 my bullies would just have to wait 'til tomorrow to get after me again.

As someone who grew up with it (and grew up in a place where bullying was relatively uncommon). It's not horrible. I really like being able to talk to all my friends all the time

I'm thankful our 2 kids-born in '77 and '80-went most of their childhood and adolescence stages in that old media world of basic antennae TV, radio, libraries, dial phones, film cameras, etc.

That goes for my daughters, both 30+. School was tough enough as it was.

I’m glad I don’t have friends who are constantly taking photos of themselves to post online. It seems very narcissistic and unhealthy.

I am not that old, but in my teenage years we did not use the internet to share photos with everyone rather to communicate. There are no questionable pictures and we did not compare ourselves to influencers or p0rnstars.

Me too

Me too. I like the internet but mainly for things like BP and looking stuff up. The only time I go on FB is when I get a notification. I do like my Kindle cause I can look up something on TV.

I'm a young person in the age of social media and I'm fine

Ah yes, back in the early days when it was just a MySpace page with embedded music and shịtty teen-angst poetry and musings. No political rhetoric, virtue signaling, targeted advertising, disinformation campaigns, bots and troll farms, etc. I deleted my MySpace page before Facebook became the big thing, and have managed to stay off of every social media platform ever since. Not once have I regretted that choice. 😁👍

And 100% need to open a Burger Keebab restaurant!!

And stop using the wrong meat. Meat that is great for steak doesnt always make a good burger.

In the post-war period, it was received wisdom that fat was bad for you and should be avoided. Only relatively recently has it become clearer that sugar was a far worse enemy of health.

I had once an indonesian kitchen-chef, who was amazing in asian cuisine, but had little to no knowledge about european one. Once he didn't ordered, just margarine, because it was much cheaper (guess, why?). We had a very long conversation about how a bechamel-sauce can't be made with margarine.

People who are allergic to milk? The lactose intolerant? What I would do for some butter!!!

Maaaany doctors still say it. It used to be thought that margarine was healthier because it was "vegetal". My flatmate has type 2 diabetes and her doctor has just told her to switch from butter to margarine. I've told her to switch doctors!

Margarine manufacturers.

no one... I hope........

My mom, most likely. She was a loon!

People who are unfortunately allowed to share the same air as the rest of us :) Life is unjust.

Me! 🙋

on popcorn!

I do, it's just personal preference.

vegans need it because of their view that butter involves animal cruelty.

My damn fool mother is who!

Ancel Keys. And he was a dickhole.

But that wasn't the "primary" argument, back in the day. It was that butter has fat, and margarine doesn't, and as such "it must be healthier" (as "proved" by the research funded by the companies selling margarine). And the other part of the argument was that you couldn't taste the difference between the two, and can you guess who funded the "surveys" "proving" this?

Now you tell me!

Oops

I personally don't care whether I'm on standard time or daylight savings. Just stop mucking about with it. If they set midnight to occur at dawn on the summer equinox you can bet people's schedules will adjust so they get to work/school/whatever at roughly the same amount of time after sunrise on the equinox that they currently do.

The correct time is the natural time and it is the winter one

It is currently still pretty dark at 7 AM. And it is definitely dark by 6 PM and it’s only getting worse before it starts to get better!

Same. None of this "It's pitch black at 5pm" s**t.
