Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that Kurt Cobain got the inspiration to make Nirvana's famous song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" when Kathleen Hanna, the singer of the band "Bikini Kill" wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on a board. Teen Spirit was a woman's deodorant and he didn't knew it until he was done with the song. by WonderfulWanderer777
You can reference brand names in songs silly.

Reply to comment by doterobcn in TIL that when former White House press secretary James Brady died in 2014, his death was ruled a homicide because it was ultimately caused by a gunshot wound he sustained in 1981, during the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by IAmTiborius
Did they push you with the intent to kill you? No. If you trip and fall and break your neck, is your bad knee the primary cause of death? No, accidenfal falling is. You can fall without a bad knee. The bad knee is at most a contributing factor.
Your hypothetical shares none of the key factors here

And you forget that many acts of sexual congress end up requiring more than one condom

Reply to comment by EmbarrassedHelp in TIL that artificial banana flavoring isn't based on a species of banana that got wiped out, but instead uses Isoamyl acetate to replicate the flavor, which is only part of what gives bananas their distinctive taste. by NoLackofEnthusiasm
Ah, my favorite fruits.

Reply to comment by DatDudefromWI in TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma
Yeah that was weird- great scene but didn't they just spend like 20 minutes establishing that Sally has a huge stick up her ass at that point in life?

That isn't how wear on a tool works. A single nut didn't crack it, it broke on this nut after many years of metal fatigue cracking nuts. A cheap metal nutcracker doesn't have incredible quality control on the steel used and doesn't heal between uses.

You have that theory? Is that not kind of... an incredibly common and widespread belief? Kind of like Peggy Hill saying, "the day before Thanksgiving is, in my opinion, the busiest travel day of the year."

Reply to comment by Dawnydiesel in Josh Hawley voting against inter racial and same sex marriages by SearchingBleach
Roy Blunt voted for it because he's retiring and doesn't have to pander to a legitimately evil base for the last couple months of his career.

No, "limey" was in use for English sailors and more generally for English men everywhere in the anglosphere since the 19th century.
WWII GIs sometimes referred to English troops as limeys because they had been called that for the last 100 years. They more often called English troops Tommys.

People pull confidence schemes everywhere, not just in the city.
Ignore the note and move on with your life. If you didn't notice hitting them when you pulled in, that's it. You were there, they weren't.
