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 seventh planet from the sun should be called Caelus not Uranus. All the other planets get named after the Roman equivalent of their respective god, why should that one get special treatment just so people can make puerile jokes.

EDIT: spelling

The miss use of the term "billet". As in "Made from Billet Aluminum to military specs" I have literally sourced metals from all over the world. Ain't no one ever tried to sell me "billet" anything.

A billet is an old term that was used when iron and steels were smelted and then poured in to either kind of a bread loaf mold or a round shape called a bloom. It would then be reheated at a later time and then formed into the final shape. No one would use "billet" or a "bloom" to make anything from it. It would have been "sponge" like and to soft to be useful for anything.

Fecking sales trying to market to ignorant people with a term that doesn't mean what anyone thinks it means.

If someone offers you something you don't want, simply say no thank you. Don't say "no I don't like that" as if you are 4.

Pluto is a MOTHER FUCKING PLANET

It has enough mass to deform into a spheroid, it orbits on the major plane of every other planet.

"Clearing their orbit" is utter bullshit, Earth hasn't even cleared its orbit that's why we get the Perseid and The Leonid meteor showers.

Fuck you NDT, I know you didn't start it but you SURE as FUCK popularized it.

And I will literally fistfight any of you who disagree idgaf where or when.

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

Black and White Checkered Vans High Tops are not good shoes.

I’ve always wanted to write a bot that replies to comments that say „I have no words” with a list of random words

Trucks should be used for working and not hauling groceries. Get a fucking car or a van. Roads are safer with more crash compatibe vehicles that also weigh less. Large trucks should need a special licence to drive/own Driving should also be taught in school

You've been Affected by something, not Effected, you enimal.

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.

It's a water heater, not a hot water heater, why would anyone want to heat water that's already hot?

replace 'I purchased ...' with 'I bought ...'. Just something about the p word grates my nerves.. Suspect it's something like using the word 'moist' for some people. probably some forgotten trauma over something I bought.

People should stop purchasing things from Nintendo. The literal worst company I've ever been a fan of.

I frequent a bakery that sells the Swedish treat called a semla. No one who works there speaks Swedish, so when I ask for ”two semlor” (pl.), they repeat it right back to me ”two semlas”. Sigh. They have a very finite number of foreign language menu items—they can learn the plurals. (Don’t get me wrong, if ”semlas” is the price of semlor I don’t have to make, I am willing to pay it, but boy does it annoy me.)

I have given up on "steep learning curve". A learning curve is proficiency on the Y axis against time on the X. A steep learning curve indicates something that is learned very quickly. A shallow learning curve is something that takes a long time to master. See Ebbinghaus 1885.
