    Oh there are worse methods which is the crazy part

    Crucifixion is more “show” when compared to other torture/execution methods. It is horrible don’t get me wrong. But its intention is not to inflict maximum pain or torture but to show maximum pain or torture to those witnessing it

    Like let’s just say Christians wouldn’t be wearing a bull around their necks if it happened that way. And that’s even a milder one.

    Crucifixion is death with some torture

    There are torture, torture, torture, …, death methods

    You can always add an “And then”

    It is believed they nailed through the wrists not the hands.

    You could probably put a nail through your wrist and just leave it and live your life without treating it. You’d have to be unlucky and hit a large vein and your body not clot properly, the nail would help stop the blood.

    It’s like the myth with a bullet. First thing is not to pull it out because it will make things worse. You can live with a bullet in you.

    The stabbing of the spear, to my knowledge, was for mercy so he’d not suffer as long.

    Blood is magical. It allows Voldemort to touch Harry.

    Harry was never the chosen one except for the fact that Voldemort chose him. It is explained that Longbottom could have fit the prophecy. And prophecies don’t always come true.

    They even have a term, mudblood.

    Harry has a piece of Voldemort living inside him. That’s why it is always mentioned. He does have an evil piece inside him.

    His parents being “high class or wealthy” didn’t matter. His mother’s sacrifice protected Harry, her love.

    Harry was an average wizard at best. He won because of friendship and everyone helping out.


  • Brake cleaner will eat away paint

    Walk by the car and spray it. It’s clear and will take 5-10 minutes before showing damage. Eventually, the message you draw will show up.

    A car with messed up paint would have a harder time getting approved to get fixed. If you mess up the engine, then it’s just getting fixed instantly with taxpayer money.

    I saw it as

    1. Stick figure in bed
    2. Blowjob
    3. Piledriver
    4. Rest
    5. Blowjob
    6. Resume piledriver

    I thought it was funny when i first saw it. I see the whole car thing now after reading the comment. So maybe the stick figure never leaves his house and just gets blowjobs. They could be a sex worker that takes money for letting other stick figures suck their stick. And they are waiting for their next client in-between. Or the stick figure in the first frame is the one giving blowjobs and waiting.


  • How is it “taking their meastaking their measurement system and fucking it up”?

    USA uses inch, feet, yard. There is small, medium, large.

    Metric has centimeters, decimeters, meters. There is small, medium, large.

    Everyone knows a yard and a meter are about the same. Everyone also knows centimeters are tiny.

    When someone who doesn’t use the metric system thinks of how tall they are, they use feet. Medium.

    I’m 2 yards tall. Someone that’s 5 feet tall is 1 2/3 yards. 5 1/2 feet is 1.83 yards.

    You wouldn’t use yards to measure a person. You’d use feet.

    When you ask someone that doesn’t use metric how tall someone is they have to pick between cm or m. Most people couldn’t tell you in yards so how do you expect them to do it in meters?

    If they just had to think in feet and then ×3 to get decimeters, it would be easy to convert. Maybe even have a decimeter ruler.

    5.5 feet is 16.5 dm with quick math. Or 1.65m. Truly, it is 1.68m.


  • 3 decimeters is equal to 1 foot.

    1 yard is equal to 9 decimeters.

    Just multiply by 3

    I’m 6 ft tall. If someone asks me how tall I am in metric, I just say 18 decimeters.

    An American football field is 100 yards, or 300 feet. 900 decimeters.

    An 8ft board is 24 decimeters

    Really not that hard to convert. Sadly no one that uses the metric system uses decimeters for some reason.

    A standard doorway in US is 3 ft. Has to be that for code. 91.4 cm or .91 meters. If you used 9 decimeters it would only be .5 inch off.

    You round to 90 cm you’d be .5 inch off. If you round to .9 meters you’d be almost .5 inch off.

    If the metic system was shown to the US as decimeters, they would be on board more.





  • Yeah, they can weigh up to 2000lbs with a king-size bed. A king-size bed is 6,080 sq in.

    A fridge can weigh 300lb being 36"×30". 1,152 sq in.

    Fridge is .26 pounds per sq inch. A water bed is .33 pounds per sq inch.

    So while heavy the weight is distributed basically like a fridge. This is assuming an empty fridge.

    As for durability, a quality waterbed mattress is thick. You aren’t going to pop it or cut it without deliberately trying to.

    Even if you took a knife and stabbed it from the top, it’s not going to leak until you put weight on it.


  • That’s a misconception for water beds.

    High-quality water beds have stabilizer pads in the mattress

    The idea of the old crappy 70’s water bed where they slosh around is a poor idea.

    You aren’t laying on a ziploc bag barely filled with any water.

    It’s more like a ziploc bag filled with molasses. If I pushed a corner down it would slowly bring up everywhere else. If I stopped pushing a corner it everything would slowly go back down.

    Say I have a massive gut and sleeping on my right side. I’m displacing X amount of water. If I was to turn to my left side I am still displacing the same amount of water. Just the empty space that use to hold my gut would be filled with the water from the other side where my gut is now. Someone on other side of bed wouldn’t even feel it because the water underneath them doesn’t change.


  • This is why water beds are amazing

    Winter you put memory foam to keep you from the cold water, in summer you sleep on the cold water.

    Only downsides to a water bed are: 1. Heavy 2. You have to add chemicals to your mattress as regular maintenance 3. It can’t really be extra firm (but a lot more firm than people think)

    The water will steal every bit of heat from your body, but you’ll stay warm with a blanket


  • No, because knowing the first child is a boy doesn’t tell you any information about the second child.

    Three doors, Girl Girl Boy

    You select a door and Monty opens a door to show a Girl. You had higher odds of picking a girl door to start (2/3). So switching gives you better odds at changing to the door with the Boy because you probably picked a Girl door.

    Here the child being a boy doesn’t matter and the other child can be either.

    It’s 50/50 assuming genders are 50/50.
