  • As someone without allergies that has been around for too many peanut-related reactions, I absolutely hate that this article exists.

    Too many times I have heard people be dismissive of a person’s severe peanut allergy, to the point of thinking it’s funny to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work and wave it in someone’s face, and then get defensive when it triggered a skin rash from proximity alone.

    I’ve seen people put peanut butter on an allergic person’s car door handle.

    I’ve seen people put peanuts in someone’s food “because they have to be faking it”

    The reason I hate this article is because it will encourage too many people who “have done their own research” to put peanuts in things “to help build up a tolerance”

    Someone is going to die from that “studies suggest”.

    And I really am tired of hearing “you’re overreacting, that’s not going to happen” given the current state of the world.

    Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

    If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I’d search “heat movie cast Angelina Jolie” if I didn’t feel like putting any effort in.

    Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen someone use their phone to search google “what is 87÷167?” instead of doing “87/167” or like… Opening the calculator…

    People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.





  • The frequent lack of desire for people to experiment and learn anything on their own is very off-putting.

    Any time I hear someone say “I didn’t think about that” when dealing with a very simple problem, I just want to pull out “How long did you piss on the toilet seat before someone told you to lift it when you go?”

    Seriously, I shouldn’t have to describe how to remove the ball bearings from this part, because I explained how to do an identical one 2 minutes ago.

    I love taking things apart to know what makes them work. Electronics and mechanical devices are fascinating.

    And I don’t understand how someone can look at things and go “yeah no need to look any deeper, I know enough already”
