Too mild for school Pages in my kids' books don't rhyme in my accent

Post image
0 Upvotes

Since the vast majority of English language kids books are written for either American or English accents, there will be many instances where the rhyming completely falls apart in my Scottish accent.

This example here rhymes in both English and American accents as the vowel sounds in turn and learn have merged in both accents. English - [tɜːn] & [lɜːn], American - [tɝn] & [lɝn]. Whereas in Scottish these vowel sounds are completely distinct - [tʌrn] & [lɛrn]. Like t-uh-r-n and l-eh-r-n. So unless I put on an English or American accent, I can't get this sentence to rhyme.

go to your room I genuinely hate how this truck always parks.

This guy parks this truck, with a trailer attached (out of frame to the left), most every day. When I’m making this right turn I have to damn near pull the car halfway out into the cross street just to see past it. And that cross street has no stop sign, so there’s often another car coming from the left, barreling along to get out of the neighborhood.

Yes I know it’s their driveway and they have a right to park there, but man it’s a terrible placement. Also, that street was a dead end past this driveway for 15+ years, until the street and development was extended farther to the left, a few years ago.

edit the photo is taken from my car’s side window, at the vantage point where the front end of my car is at the Stop sign for my side. To actually see past the truck to see approaching traffic, I have to pull the front of the car out onto the cross street.

I bought this Del Real on the $5 Friday sale at Safeway. Planned on using my “lb” of meat for dinner tonight. The meat is just under 1/2 lb and the rest is liquid.

BORTLES 🔥 For over a year, there has been a fire alarm chirping every 30 seconds. I just want to enjoy to autumn air

For over a year, every thirty seconds just beep.......beep.....beep. I live in a bunch of row homes in the city near an intersection and cannot for the life of me figure out where it's coming from. Can't sleep with the window open. Can't enjoy even just a full minute of peace and quiet. If I want to have the window open, I have to have headphones on. Even if I have the windows closed, if I'm just laying on my couch reading, I still hear it thru the window. I live on a relatively quiet side street except for that damn chirping.

Was at John Summit concert last night and girl in front of me was filming entire time. Saw her eyes on her screen all night. It’s crazy how you pay so much money to go to a concert just to experience it on your phone screen instead of being there

I'm slightly vexed I have to clean my neighbors’ cats’ poo from my garden

5 Upvotes

Hi, I have a puppy who is being taught to go and do their business in the garden. He is not fully vaccinated yet. When he poos in garden I, of course, clean it up.

But what is annoying is that a lot of my neighbours’ cats come to my garden, and poo everywhere, so now I have to clean their poo as my dog will eat it.

I find this annoying, what are your thoughts? Know that’s what cats do but my neighbours wouldn’t let any to clean my dog’s poo from their garden would they?

Unskippable ad My new, expensive comforter is apparently a religious pamphlet with stuffing

I recently ordered a comforter from Coma Inducer, and today while I was searching for the material info to wash it, I found this instead. This is literally the only tag I could find. I guess the care instructions are top secret, but the religious affiliation is very clear. :/ I even checked the website to see if I missed this being noted anywhere. I felt a little bit violated by the 100% unsolicited religious messaging.

I just wanted a hot dog Until the 1990s, chocolate bars weighed 200 grams; after several rounds of shrinkflation (180, 160, 150, 125, 100, 90, 80), they have reached a measly 80 grams

go to your room Walgreens is charging $5 for a 36-pack and $20 for a 72-pack

Not sure if the “not latex” on the 72-pack is supposed to be a difference that explains the price discrepancy, but if that’s the case, that would be infuriating in itself since that detail is hardly noticeable.

Edit: Actually both boxes are latex free. The 36-count just doesn’t say it on the front.

Ruined by Technology Who designed this?!

I was going to work and didn't manage to put on a pot of coffee, so I swung by a coffee shop and got one. Nightshift gets hard without it.

The cup was your regular flimsy crap cup, which would have been fine if it wasn't filled to the brim and the lid wouldn't fly off if you blinked mildly forcefully at it.

Queue me driving and trying to gently wiggle it out of the death grip holder. Splash. Everywhere. Had to clean up in the dark and the car still smells like coffee.

Whomever designed and approved of these at VW should have 3 mild inconveniences every day for a year.

To get an idea of how hard those things push in on stuff, they dent soda cans.

Too mild for school My card sleeves are different colours

Post image
0 Upvotes

I play a TCG and got a pack of 100 sleeves, half of them are lighter than the other half and thus illegal to play with, so I had to unsleeve and will have to resleeve 100 cards tomorrow after I refund them.

Edit for clarity: a TGC is a trading card game (like magic the gathering) and sleeves being different colours is illegal to play with because its a form of marking your cards so you can rig shuffling and knowing what you'll draw next. Hence all the work to redo it.
