Internet connection for cel phones. When I saw that WAP thing I thought "Why on earth someone will need this?". Time will tell, but I start to think I might been wrong

Food service workers, what's the strangest kitchen request you ever saw someone order?
In Brazil in the hot dog stands you can add a lot of toppings to your meal, including but not restricted to potato puree, parmesan cheese, potato crisps, corn, green peas and all kinds of sauces. There was one guy back in the school days that ordered his with all of those but no sausage

What's the funniest WiFi network name you've seen?
My guest network was called ShareYourWifi, but my wife made me change it

Barefoot Shoes
I would recommend Bohempia (made of Hemp), Groundies (beautiful), Zaqq (wide variety), Magical Shoes and Wildlings, of course. They are all European

What was your most catastrophic miscommunication with someone else?

Maybe... she kind of knew (even subconsciously) all the time, but found a way to reassure how much you two liked each other. Can't blame her, it worked and made good for both

My father had another son with his 2nd wife when he was 58. At first I thought he was too old and it would be a burden for him and for the kid, but finally it works fine for everyone. He kind of seems younger now and my brother (now 11 years old) deals fine with having an older dad.

Nolan is my favorite director. The Prestige and Memento are absolute genius movies, I cannot rewatch then enough times. Inception is great too. But Interstellar is so boring and pointless, I stopped it after 2 hours of nothing happening on the screen. It's hard to believe all those movies were made by the same person

Fediverse sounds gross
In Portuguese it sounds like "feder", that means "to stink"

Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a country
Is this still a discussion on 2025? I always thought this was a no brainer, just blocked by demonization and the lack of examples of places that legalized and nothing bad happened. We should be discussing how to deal with other drugs. Marijuana is pretty much solved

What is the best Power Outlet, and why?
As a Brazilian, that makes me so sad. We used to have a type that could fit European and American plugs, but they just changed it. Never gonna let it go hahaha

You are grammatically right. But in practice the fact that am has also the meaning of equating the subject to the object puts the idea in people's head (at some degree, unconsciously, at least) that they equate to what they feel.

What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?
Not answering directly the post, but something in line with it: I believe not all (maybe most of) knowledge is scientific, but that doesn't invalidate it. A lot of things can't be studied by the scientific method, but people intuitively understood and learned about it along the centuries.
This should be common sense, but society has gone crazy about considering only science as knowledge and now ignores valuable learnings that sometimes are more right then science itself.
This should not be confused with negating science (like global warming deniers): when you can study something by the scientific method normally you will get deeper and with less mistakes with it. But when you don't, you can still have knowledge by other methods

I've had this puzzle on my phone for years. Every few months I'd glance at it and try and solve it. Last night, as I was eating dinner, I finally figured out the answer!

Once I saw a video about Mario Kart speedrunning history and there was a record on Rainbow Road that lasted for years. Than someone broke it but just told the community without showing how it was done. In a couple of days someone else figured it out and did it too. Sometimes we just need to know it is possible

Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, but differ on those kind of things. We say "a biblioteca é ali" (though "a biblioteca está ali" is also used).
We also don't use "me fez feliz" (it made me happy) as much as they say "me puso feliz", normally you say "fiquei feliz" (i became happy)

Maybe the win percentage of lucky and unlucky people are the same, but lucky people win when it matters most, while unlucky people when there is nothing important at stake

If you could create an additional day of the week, what would you name it and why?
Reply in thread
Yeah, but it begins on the 2nd day (Monday). They say it's because the Saturday was the 7th day in the bible (Shabat for the jews). So Sunday would be the 1st one, but it's not called 1a feira
