It’s a good video though.

There is at least one follow up to that dishwasher one, or perhaps just a related one, about dishwasher detergent.

He got some pods chemically tested to vindicate his hatred of them. They scientifically do not work as well as the much cheaper loose powders. Specifically pods don’t utilize the prewash, which is an important part of the machines ability to clean what’s being run through.

I think he also created his own line of dishwasher detergent because of his lab results iirc

I love trying to get my partner to watch technology connection videos. I don’t think she really believes me when I go, oh yes there is actually a video about traffic lights heating systems or tell her about the multi-year long Christmas decoration lights saga.

Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.

Yup, for me it’s the crochet and flower arranging videos. Every once in a while I get a cat meme which is nice.

What’s the word the youth uses? oh yeah,

Explaining something that you’re passionate about is much different than forcing someone to sit through a video.

Fuck yeah, infodump harder!

When we met and first started dating, my wife and I bonded over our shared interests. And then shared some of our independent interests with each other. Not all of them were picked up by the other, but even for the interests we didn’t pick up, we became generally aware of them, which helped fill in the picture of what the other person was about. And we built some shared interests over topics neither of us were interested in before meeting each other (a shared experience that starts an interest in both of us in some new thing).

I wouldn’t always describe it as hot (my wife is into some stuff that I genuinely do not understand the appeal), and probably wouldn’t even always describe it as interesting. But we care about each other, even the things we make fun of each other about.

What you share your vague niche interests with the person you care about? Woah slow down there buddy you might need to hold your horses buddy! /s

That video was fire

You got my hopes up, but it’s only 2:24 =/

link?

Think they’re just observing thst men are more likely to show you some stuff thst isn’t at all interesting (fact check: true)

Thank you for remembering that woman is a countable noun. I would give you an extra like just for that if I could.

I get the unhinged TikTok demographic.

Of all the women I dated, the only ones who actually liked Monty Python, I wasn’t really interested in them! Of the rest, the mostly like the scene with the killer rabbit.

Meanwhile, I pretty much don’t need the sound on Holy Grail anymore.

I’ll receive similar messages but without the “we should do this”. Later when I haven’t responded I’ll get the “Why don’t you reply to what I sent you?”

We now have a rule that if you want a reply you have to ask a question. Felt kinda dickish but having that agreement up front has been helpful.

Because it gets more engagement that way.

This place attracts a lot of fundie social justice warriors, unfortunately. Or it’s Russian trolls, same difference.

There’s others, but that’s the only one my brain managed to remember enough of currently!

• HelloFutureMe’s rewrite of Legend of Korea that would make it a good show, rather than the most-retcon-filled bullshit I’ve ever seen.
• Mother’s Basement’s Happy Science Trilogy (look for “a cult made this anime”, and strap the fuck in, because the 8th-dimensional spirit of Isaac Newton is here to convince you to pay some Japanese guy all of your money)
