Hmm. The warfare-related ones are pretty spot on. Wet powder sucks, if you’re not careful your musket can go off half-cocked and ironclads were well armoured. Ditto for taking no prisoners, although we tend to frown on that now.

My guess would be the more practical it would have been at some point, the less likely it started as a misconception.

Poop-de-loop.

The entire field isn’t therapy.

“Must be at least this rich to ride”

Well, you can feel that way I guess, but good luck getting anybody to care.

Okay, so you are serious.

Dude, it’s a meme quote. OP is statistically very likely an atheist, since this is Lemmy.

I guess there’s a parallel if you deliberately signed up for a job enshittifying things, although the difference of degree is obviously large. And OP was being really weird about it.

(Camp guard was a cush assignment relative to the front, you had to work for it)

Hmm.

“And there you go. As always, posting the wrong information gets you the real stuff (which, to be clear, is Ward Cunningham’s law)”

Make way for empirical chad.

I’m on here enough they all blur together. Maybe that makes me the idiot.

TIL.

Can’t tell if serious.

Yep, there’s definitely nowhere it goes below 0 F. /s

Actually, the Persian Gulf gets above 100 regularly as well, if I have what that is in Celsius roughly correct.

Don’t forget “promoting wellness”.

I appreciate that we’re past the days when they could make specific claims and get away with it, though.

Yes, it’s true. Let me know when a more scientifically accurate idiom comes along, though. I also still use “like a bull in a china shop”.

Best of luck!

I mean, it’s the same, you just turn around at the end of the ride as you’re leaving rather than the beginning. But, it’s simply not how it’s done.

Yeah, similar weather relatively speaking.

I’ve never been to Toronto, so I can’t talk too much trash, but I have been to Vancouver many times and experienced how awesome it is. And, they both cost a similar amount!

I mean, artisanal gold mining is still a huge thing in certain less-than-awesome areas. The basic way gold works is what inspired it in the first place.

Yes, there’s a lot of unspoken rules that are out there, but never actually enforced. Facing the other way in an elevator was one example I remember from my social sciences classes.
