The reason for that is almost certainly psychological, you’re way more careful if you can feel every tiny slip and know there’s no metal cage protecting you. Similar to how youre less likely to hurt yourself with a sharp knife vs a dull one (though theres more reasons than the psychological aspect there). And I guess part of it is ow speeds; but even then:

Bicycles are more likely to slip on a snowy, icy or even wet road, simply because they have a smaller surface that touches the road. Also, as opposed to anything 3+ wheeled, they lean into turns and can slip sideways that way. I have a cool laceration scar on my chin to prove that.

So, I guess my point is, don’t take this comment to mean bikes are the safest vehicle in the snow, folks.

I don’t cycle when there’s snow on the road (bc I hurt myself that way once), but know from others there are spike tyres for bicycles. Keep in mind though that this still won’t give you the amount of stability you may be used to from something four wheeled. Be careful not to lean into turns too much, ime that’s the situation where slipping is most likely.

If it’s not ai or Photoshop, they did them for the shitpost and removed them soon after, in pretty sure.

If 250ml of garlic sauce is a menu item, someone likely conceived of this ahead of time.

You are 100% the person this post is about, and 100% American. Those are 100% of the relevant percentages.

My mum used to work in a town where they make a kinda popular chocolate in middle Europe, like small step up from store brand type stuff (milka, in case anyone’s faniliar). She’d always bring home their factory shop ‘mystery chocolate’ that was very openly literally this: the bars right after they’d switch flavors, and they would be a non predictable mix between the two. I loved that stuff more than the actually store bought chocolate as a kid because you’d genuinely never know what you’d get. They came in these super non distinct plain white wrappers too, which added to the charm.

Tangential, for ambulance cost only.

Once a year, I get a sort of info letter that lists every bill my healthcare has paid for me that year. So, I know what medical costs actually are in my country where healthcare prices aren’t being artifically inflated by healthcare being privatised.

I had a short ambulance ride in 2020. It was billed for about 90€. That’s what it would actually cost if they couldn’t charge whatever tf they want due to privatised healthcare.

Idk how general it is, but for my uni acc 2fa you can simply get a USB stick with tokens on it. Friend does the same for their e-id to avoid linking it to their phone number.

Love my job. Still wouldn’t spend a second doing it for zero pay.

Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they’re cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don’t run out of electricity while you’re on a long hike).

Im in the EU thankfully, it’s not legal to record strangers (except like, a crowd where you can’t make out individuals that well). They may be watching me from the window, but they don’t talk like village folks do.

Hm, if we’re talking protein shake, I like to buy unflavoured pea or soy protein powder then mix with soy or oat milk and blend in fruit, nut butters, frozen berries.

I mean, I sometimes view nutrition as an impediment to my bed rotting, but that’s because I have depression Also, I would kinda like to be able to skip lunch, because meal prepping is tough when you work til 0930 and takeout add up, cost wise

This is not meant to be a counter, I’m curious: have you? Cause I haven’t, and I’ve always wondered who the target audience for that stuff is. Everybody I know thinks it’s stupid, and I’ll at most use drinkable food for health reasons (as in, if they have really sore teeth and can’t chew or sth like that, or can’t keep solids down) or if they’ve misplanned and can’t have real food (like between two appointments).

Yeah I got that that’s what the meme is about, but thought the comment might be about nosy humans anyway.

You mean because of people watching? I get this so much worse in the village than in the city, because village folks will remember and talk about your patterns, while city folks won’t.

Wow thanks for sharing, I never would’ve thought! Glad my toilet is in a seperate room from the bathroom (and that that’s pretty normal in my country).

Quick ETA: I just realised this is ‘just’ about aerosols. So not necessarily true of micro-solids, still important

That leaver causes microscopic bits of poop to be sprayed everywhere unless you close the damn lid

That’s true but not at all what you said in the post. But thanks for clarifying here!

I could also go on about what I think is harder or easier to read, but that’s neither here nor there. The post claims there is/are a font or fonts that were specifically created with the intention to be harder to read for the disabled, and I want to know whether that’s true.
