For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    Standard wedding photography is set up to make photos look “old”. And it’s so hideous and awful. Most filters used for wedding photography look atrocious.

    Let major moments in time look like they were experienced at that time! I’m looking at you, black and white photograph from 2016. Artificially making something old, when at one time they were the present, gives so much incongruity to the experience.

    Let something as important as a wedding day look like it’s a product of that time. Not from decades previously.

    Natural scrolling is wrong. Mouse, touchpad, doesn’t matter, it’s wrong.

    Most people do not know the meaning of the word “Feminism/Feminist” and use it to describe crazy people on twitter…

    Nuts only make sense in something that’s already hard, like a cookie. It complements it by going from something hard-ish to another hard-ish texture.

    Nuts in cake DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. I hate having to chew something smooth and spongy and suddenly - CRONCH. It’s repulsive. 99% of the time it also tastes worse than the cake itself. If you actually want to put nuts on your damn cake, put it on the top so I can slide it off and eat it separately. Thank you.

    The toilet paper roll has to be placed so the tear off sheet faces the shitting person, and not the wall.

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

    The answer is unequivocally “NO”.

    A sound is not a sound until it vibrates the listeners eardrums. Before that it’s just a pressure wave. Ergo, if no eardrums are around, there is no sound…

    The kilometre—with the accent on the ki and the re ending—is a unit of distance. A kilometer—with the accent on the lo and the er ending—would be a device that measures kilos, like perhaps a bathroom scale? centimetre, millimetre, speedometer, altimeter.

    I’m actually fairly forgiving about people saying it the wrong way, but when Siri gives me GPS directions, it really grinds my gears. She should know better!

    Not sure what counts as “petty”, but there’s one that is relevant to a recent discussion I had. If you say something considered “offensive”, it is arguably equally so no matter who says it and/or who it is towards. I run a few groups and people have a hard enough time here that it almost seems like it’s a matter of a vote now.

    I live in a high altitude area. It gets very hot. People will say that it’s because we’re “closer to the sun” as if the 6000ft/1800m difference is what matters vs the 93,000,000mi/150,000,000km distance to the sun is affected by something so small.

    The difference is the lack of atmosphere to soften the various types of light from the sun.
