I was taught that a syllables can be counted by the number of times the chin moves when saying it. Acording to this logick it has 1 syllable.

I can’t disagree more. As I sit here with my 7 day old adopted son I think about how much pain, suffering, and disappointment we went through to get here. Adoption is the game + version as you have to go through years of anguish and expenses before you get to the actual game.

When I worked for now nearly defunct big box mall store famous for its catalog in shipping and receiving, I had an inventory control device that allowed me to see both the wholesale price that the store paid for items along with the retail price that they were sold for. Markups are obscene.

My favorites were the sunglasses. The generic ones cost the store about a dollar each and sold for $20-40. They were shipped in the same box, from the same factory, as the fancy designer ones "made" by vacuous reality TV women. They were almost indistinguishable except for the logos. They cost the store $2-5 and sold for $80-300. It boggled my mind.

Also, no matter how crazy on sale something is, it's never less than the store paid.

Calm your tits Jesus! It’s a shower thought, not some new philosophical truth about the world. Also, if you were to remove your head from your own bottom for a second, you might consider OP talking about adopting an older child, say a teenager, in which case they are right– it would not take 15 years to adopt someone.

It’s the “skip tutorial” button as well, or even a “pay to skip level” one

This is the entire Grey Goose business model. It's been spectacularly successful.

Well, that depends on how many people you ask! Some might say it has two syllables, while others might say three. But no matter what the answer is, one thing is for sure - everyone loves a good crisp!

This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.

Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"

(For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)

Rule-breaking posts may result in bans.

I remember the 90s....but I don't remember them being "woke" or "inclusive" in any way. Quite the opposite frankly. Maybe they can do a racially inclusive sitcom that takes place in pre civil war Mississippi next!

a lot more than there should be, which is zero

There are people that think geese and ducks are the same thing, just different genders?

same with people who think geese and ducks are males and females of the same bird like with roosters and hens

I guess it’s fair to say that Physicists will try to solve a PDE in cartesian space by parameterizing and reducing to an ODE in polar space where r could be constant.

I know Engineers are also usually happy to solve a problem graphically or by implicit forms. There are also times where engineers will just use one term of the small angle approximation and preemptively set bounds on the radius of convergence to θ<10°. (That’s fair, because an out of bounds θ means a bending modulus has already passed a buckling limit and the system is borked)

I don’t think it’s fair to say Physics student Classical Dynamics doesn’t use PDEs, though, especially since checking Lagrangian invariance of solutions only works for PDEs.

My 3rd and 4th siblings are adopted so this tracks.

My youngest brother is biological so I guess they were like…I haven’t watched the intro in a while. Oh this slaps.

Damn it uncle Ben go back in the grave its the 4th time this month

Picture them being sold as a limited edition collection in a varnished mahogany box with the gold engraving no. 20/55.

Price tag $5k

Guarantee you those limited edition crocs sell out.

I wish that "where were your ancestors during the asteroid?" could replace smalltalk.

My teenage kids and I swear around each other. They are just words, and they get meaning across. My kids know how to code switch and speak without curse words in situations that require it.

Cold sores are HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus 1). The ones downstairs are HSV-2. Both can be spread through contact. And HSV-1 can even be spread downstairs via contact on someone. Likewise, HSV-2 can be spread to mouths.

When having sexual encounters, use protection. If a cold sore/fever blister is present, do not share drinks, kiss, etc. HSV-1 generally does not spread unless the blisters are present.

But the virus will ALWAYS be in your system. If your immune system is ever compromised, it may present itself again.

Hopefully they'll come up with a cure for it some day.
