Things you didn't know you didn't know

I've done that many, many times. "Hey, why don't I make this character mentally ill, it fits in with their backstory and seems plausible, plus I could use it as an opportunity to vary my characters and thus better understand my fellow human beings."

*Begins research*


GAAAAAH, nope!

EDIT: Replying to the post about researching mental illness, didn't see there was another page.

 

Tomatoes are in the Nightshade family, and their leaves can be used to make a poison.

 

Though it is much faster to simply use a spud gun.

 

So that is how you spell favorite.

 

My sister and brother-in-law visited your country and my brother-n-law asked for a "hot dog". He said the waiter looked at him funny. He said that what was brought to him was "indescribable". He will never eat in England again.

 

I find this description slightly concerning.
What on earth happened?

 

He said it was not a "hot dog". He doesn't know what it was.

 

Cthulu dog?

 

If it doesn't look like this, then it is not "good ole' hot dogs and apple pie" American.

 

Do Brits make Apple Pie?

 

Shoulda asked for a banger.... maybe some mash with it too... and brown sauce!! Slather it in brown sauce!! lol

 

I'm American and I would say eeeewwww. Nasty jowl and waste meat ground up with chemicals.

 

Yeah, like the Brits to serve mash potatoes with a hot dog instead of fries. LOL.

 

That's what they are!

And insect legs, rat droppings, etc.

 

Yeah not going to weigh in on this conversation.
But I will say I think hotdogs are a garbage food
of America.
That is all.

 

No one disagreeing with you.

 

C’mon...

Hot dogs are noble. END

 

Oh yeah. I remember when they use to put on the label "Acceptable level of rat by products"! Like there IS an acceptable level.....

 

The worst food in England is that ‘first impression’ food - airports & central central London - probably amongst ‘worst foods of the world’ and worth any evening on the YouTube.

 

5 or 10 rat hairs are acceptable in peanut butter.

 

Nope... uh huh! I grow my own veggies so I know who's peeing on them. so I'm pretty fussy about my food. I won't even pick fly poop out of pepper... will just toss it!

 

Humans are the most disgusting thing on the planet (mull that over).
They have studies that suggest kids raised on farms have better immune
systems than those raised in the city. So germs are good in making tougher
humans, not concrete blocks and a fear of them.

 

I've lived rural most of my life. I still wont abide by an acceptable level of crap in processed food......
