The magic numbers are helpful to give you insight you missed something. I hated The Thin Red Line initially (I expected an action movie) but gave it a 2nd shot when I saw the high reviews. Enjoyed it more the 2nd watch.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do Americans actually use red plastic cups at parties or is that just a Hollywood trope?

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•"Between raising two young boys and putting in long hours at a marketing job, Kevin Caldwell can almost never find the time to make dinner. So he and his husband spend about $700 a week to order in"English
21·8 months agoSomeone has never tried to get 2 toddlers into a car to go pick up food, get them in the store and then get back in the car. The $10 extra cost to have a pizza delivered vs pickup can be very worth it.
I don’t use delivery often, but you really need to realize not everyone lives the same life parameters as you.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?
2·1 year agoYour looking at it from a digital era. When things were paper based, month-day-year made a bunch of sense.
Our work paper archives are stored in “year” boxes (used to be filing cabinets). Open those, and you have folders that have month-day-year on their tab label. This makes it so you can quickly go through the folders sequentially quickly. If you did YYYYMMDD, you would need to ignore the first 4 numbers. DDMMYYY, the labels won’t be in numerical order.
Putting files back, you look for the correct year, but then it’s easy to drop the folder back into it’s numerical position.
In a digital structure, filing records is automated and we can use a search function, so we do store digital files as YYYYMMDD.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your worst experience with appliances?
11·2 years agoSamsung Fridge/Freezer. About every spring and fall, our fridge freezes over in the cooling system. The ice builds up and blocks the fan which stops circulation so that the fridge warms up and spoils all the food. Samsung says there is no major issue but it seems to be common flaw talked about online. The fix is to take apart the back of the fridge and remove all the ice. One constantly on of the edge of buying a new one.

News@lemmy.world•Armed Militia "hunting FEMA" causes hurricane responders to evacuate—report
4·2 years agoThe Washington Post article goes over the threats and there is nothing substantiating the armed militia.
It would be a bit odd to me for the national guard to report to the US Forestry that they saw an armed militia and wouldn’t be actively pursuing it. Seems more likely is was a miscommunication in a hectic environment.

27·2 years agoThey did. The threat was established to be incorrect and the lone person making the threat was detained, and workers are back in the area.

If you’re wrong about the sun, no one will be saying much.
