Mine are doing the same.

>recently introduced a rule that we can't bring cans of drink in bc of risk of improvised weapons

Where the fuck do you work man? O.o Prison?

Omg...I'm crying...nutmeg...

Yea that too!

You don't cook with spices, do you? I make curry and other heavily spiced stuff, and blowing air into a container of very fine (and very spicy) Cayenne pepper would definitely do what OP said happened.

Cans can be used for self harm.

I opened a new two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper in my parent's kitchen when I was in high school. It hadn't been shaken up, it was straight out of the fridge. As soon as I cracked the seal the top flew off and a geyser of soda erupted all the way to the ceiling.

Left a huge stain on the ceiling and soaked half the kitchen in sticky Dr. Pepper. That was almost 35 years ago and I don't think my parents believe to this day that my brother and I weren't horsing around. I guess it was just over pressurized from the bottling plant.

Childhood dental surgery here, too. Lol

Juice is no better, though, my two youngest loved juice and they ended up with metal caps and all kinds of dental work as toddlers. We spent tens of thousands on their teeth.

I should have given them water. I thought I was enlightened because I chose juice over cola.

the thing is called "computer cleaner", it seems to be the brand name. bought it like 6 years ago from amazon, can't find it anymore. still runs like a charm

> so i have an electric blower i use for dusting instead of compressed air cans

Metro DataVac? I've had my ED500 for like a decade now, thing still runs like brand new. Bottom filter is getting a bit worn out though.

Can attest to it being a Southern Thang TM. Lost my first two baby teeth cause a family member kept putting me to sleep with a bottle of coke. My first surgery was a dental surgery with them ripping those teeth out. Incidentally, that’s also how we found out I was allergic to penicillin!

I mean, there's a reason why it's called a water bottle and not a Monster™ drink bottle.

Cat tax is just a silly reddit thing where if you mention a cat you include a photo of them as "tax" :)

We have a little cat who has stopped growing too but is otherwise healthy! Tiny cats are very precious ❤️

Omg I would be living in constant fear after that haha

what's a cat tax? and yeah she is very small, we don't know why she just doesn't seem to grow anymore, she has a sister that looks exactly like her but is much bigger than her now. she's perfectly healthy tho

My mom had recently redone the kitchen in her house. My mom and her current husband don’t drink. They went to to evening mass I think which left my sister and I alone during the holidays and we wanted to have some wine. We couldn’t find a wine key, so in my infinite wisdom I decided to just push the cork into the bottle, I pushed to hard and the dark red wine splashed everywhere on the cabinets, the appliances, and floor. We cleaned things down quickly and thought we were in the clear, but then we saw the spray on the ceiling. We broke out the magic eraser though this took off some of the off white paint.

We never told her until this past Christmas. Her quote “I always wondered how those spots showed up out of nowhere.”

I mean I guess. I applaud people with the patience to deal with others that have those sort of issues, its not me.

If you want to cheer up look up Carolina reaper in tifu some of those stories are hilarious

Roll wax paper up into a cone for a disposable single-use filter

>Lets not gatekeep what is and is not spicy.

This one of the most terminally online things I've ever read. Describing the reality of a scale of spiciness is not gatekeeping. Whether or not you find jalapenos spicy, habaneros are spicier, and ghost peppers spicier than them.

Edit: Ok guys, tomatoes are spicy, just so everyone can say they like really, really spicy food. After all, reality is secondary to including everyone in every possible group.

Has nothing to do with super hots. It’s concentrated capsaicin. Which nobody is meant to handle. This whole thing is dumb. I love spicy food including reapers, this is just meant to punish people.

The one chip challenge wrecked me and like 5 of my friends. Honestly is it not only definitely not worth "bragging rights" the chip tastes like cardboard. Not even salted cardboard just cardboard and burning

My grandma would let coca cola sit out all night with no lid and put it in my thermos. It was flat by then so no explosions.

My mom put coke in my baby bottle and sippy cup. It's a southern thang.

I only drink water now.

It’s because the air pressure on a plane is less than on the ground, but the sealed bottle stays the same pressure, so upon opening, it will violently depressurize
