When I was a teenager, I vowed that when I became an adult I would never criticize younger people about the way they dressed or the music they listened to.
Then came the "fashion" of boys/young men wearing their pants very low on their hips with their underwear showing, and hip hop, and I had to break my word on both counts.

Yes it was that bad.(but rap/hip-hop are still worse). IMO
But to each his own.
Only real problem I have is the car stereos blaring the bass so loud it interupts my heart beats. It's worse when I am riding the mc.
I'm sick & tired of hearing talking heads on TV and radio talking about 'the narrative'. It has become yet another stupid overused catchphrase. Whoever uses that expression should be literally tossed down the rabbit hole. The optics would be epic.

At the end of the day, of course.

The guy in front of me in the supermarket checkout today bought 11 peppers (7 red, 3 orange - he was very specific about that) and 12 pounds of unsalted butter.
I did so want to ask him what he planned to do with them.
I just successfully trolled my mom with the old dihydrogen monoxide gag on Facebook. Not especially proud but I do find it hilarious. (Especially after all the pseudoscience she floods my timeline with)
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
Once upon a time I taught (indoctrinated) new employees on safety in our biochemistry research workplace.
I started with a very accurate and completely misleading Material Safety Data Sheet for Dihydrogen monoxide. The part I liked most was in the precautions section: in case of body contact, wash thoroughly with clear water. If you actually did this exactly as instructed, one must stand there rinsing off the water with more water the rest of your life.
The point I was trying to make is real safe handling of chemicals requires both data and understanding of the data--
the best safety device is located between the ears and behind the eyeballs.
