That’s so cool! Thanks for that link, it made my day

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

What about laser pointers?

"If our knees bent the other way, what would our chairs look like?"

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Would our hips still bend the same way or would we be reversing both knees and hips?

[–] udon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

We could just sit on the floor like in some asian countries?

Why is European mayonnaise different and better than American mayonnaise?

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

They probably use real ingredients and have more crap banned that a-ok in the US-A

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why is European everything different and better than American everything

[–] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

Except our military

Do you do it yourself with a European recipe? You would get the same result I guess.

I never got the answer - who did let the dogs out?

That is a great episode.

Cats were once worshipped as Gods.

And they have never forgot this.

[–] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Now they just laze around dreaming about days-gone-by...and occasionally catching a rat.

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Eh? (Smaller question by one letter).

[–] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Is he Canadian?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago
[–] ludrol@bookwormstory.social 1 points 3 months ago

"Love" is the answer.

Can a person clap one handed? I grew up on that and one day I disjointed my fingers and can clap very loudly one handed. It is funny when I show other people and they try it and they look like the R word just waving their hand around.

[–] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago

Some people can

[–] udon@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is Quebec part of latin america?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do dogs actually like you?

[–] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes! Scientists trained dogs to stay still in an mri and showed them pictures of the dog's owners. The areas that correspond with human joy areas lit up! Same when they smell something from their owners.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That is one brave boi.

[–] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

What's up with cats sometimes taking a long time to think about a jump and then just completely fails anyway by making the tiniest jump?

Also catnip is like a drug for some cats right? Why does nobody find it weird people are getting their pets high?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How can a word be accurately constructed but disallowed anyway? Does it "sound wrong" just because it's not used? Example: stupider

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

IMO if everyone involved in the conversation believes in the moment that it's a real word and is on the same page about what it means then nothing is wrong.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You know how in the hangover they feed Tyson’s tiger meat and Zach galifinakis says to put pepper on the meat cuz tigers like pepper? I wonder if canines have herbs or spices that they love but every time I search o line all I get are lists of food safe for dogs.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Personally my cat seems to crave the flavor of yoga mats.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That's better than having a cat with pica. Can't leave paper anywhere out in the open....

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

At the big cat rescue here they figured out that cats love Calvin Klein Obsession For Men perfume.

And once my ex stood with the cat on the kitchen counter and opened, one by one, every spice jar in the kitchen and let him sniff it. Then closed and replaced it. The cat just sat there sniffing them. So I'd say yes. Not as food, but certainly as smells.

why can't women pee out of the clitoris? it's basically a small peen
