I love how excited robin got over the Illegal Petes thing

[@matthewdovidas4213]

The one in Boulder had the same thing on their window and some college kid who was baked as shit walked by and eas baffled because "where does the cheese come from? Did they make a person's head into a bowl? Is this some weird sex thing?" And I couldn't stop laughing

Ok but he is wrong. I have never heard of illegal Pete’s until today but if I saw that sign I would 100% eat there.

Yes, gross. But also: why did they paint her nostril stark black, making it look like a rip in the space/time continuum? So much wrong with this…

3:45 Funny thing is, you can actually buy "whiteboard paint" which literally makes a wall a whiteboard. I've worked at offices where they did that, and we'd actually just have a whole wall that is a whiteboard.

14:15 They switched to the knob shifters because it’s cheaper to manufacture than the older style sliding shift lever. Also, the transmission can actually ignore your input if you accidentally try to shift out of gear while driving. It will just refuse to shift and probably show a warning message on the screen in the gauge cluster.

[@sylvrwolflol]

To this day, by far my favorite kind of gear shift is in the older Honda CR-Vs. They have a compact shift lever just to the right of the steering wheel, far enough away that you can't touch it while your hands are on the wheel but close enough that you can immediately swap between the two. There's just something about having complete control over the vehicle functions right where your hands already are, and something about the feeling of a physical lever over the more "modern" knob. Only way I could see those knob shifters not being mildly terrifying every time is if they gave them some degree of haptic feedback, so that you don't just spin the wheel and land in whatever the hell without physical resistance.

What's good about wearing wedding dresses is: They have layers so, if you run out of TP, you have something right on hand.

[@underwatermoon]

As a german, I think I know what happened at 12:12. The german slang word Geil, is usually used to describe something as cool, though it’s actual translation is horny. A good English example would be shit, it usually means bad (or something else), but can also be translated to poop. So when they put Geil in whatever translator they used, it just gave out the direct translation. Hope this helps!

[@impracticalnuke]

The thing about that Illegal Pete's ad poster is not only the lady's mouth full of cheese dips, watch how the hand holding the nacho chip is oriented. Either she's got some mad gymnastics going with her hand, or someone is actively feeding her more cheesy nacho when her mouth is already full of cheese dips. And I'm not sure whether or not like I like it more after the fact.

[@It-is-me...Melsie]

I think because the entire thing looks wrong it just looks the opposite of appealing.

3:08 Bibimbap is DELICIOUS. It's a Korean dish, its super versitile too like you can pretty much always find a version of bibimbap you like. And, this is super specific, but if any of you live in/near DC or you're visiting, Rice Bar is insanely good. There's six of them in the city. Also Kalbi is KBBQ Beef Ribs!

[@GlaciesYin]

0:25 That's 水莲 aka crested floating-heart. It is kinda niche as it is only grown to be eaten in Taiwan, the wikipedia article is really short. (炒 means fried, probably stir-fried) That said, can we talk about what's just below in 00:28? 水芝圈 is actually Lotus Ring. I guess "Mermaid in Deep Sea" alludes to the aquatic nature and I guess it's meant to be pretty "MCDONALD'S BEST FRIEND" THO- Idk if they took the wrong character, but it might mean Chicken McNuggets? As in 麦克鸡块 instead of 麦克吉块. Best friend indeed XD Mr Oyster is strange, since it's 儿子酥, which translates to son pastry, idk what it's supposed to be??? 3:17 is Korean cuisine Aaaa is probably Kimchi Stewed Rice?? That's my guess since they call it "Korean-style vegetable stewed rice". Not usually how Kimchi Jjigae is eaten (not rice) but ok. Kalbi Kuppa says Beef soup rice 6:00 I mean, not wrong, but not right either "When flight has ended, the machinery will still be lit/send warnings if you only flip the switch to "off", you must take out the batteries from the helicopter. Please make this a habit, better safe than sorry (actually says "in order to avoid regret" as per the paper, but in a precautionary way)" In case you can't tell, these are probably instructions for a toy helicopter.

[@吳政霖-b9t]

I searched for related news a little bit, and it seems that even the Chinese part of the menu is wrong (typo error). The correct names of the dishes should be "花枝圈(Deep-fried calamari rings)", "麥克雞塊(Chicken McNuggets)" and "蚵仔酥(Oyster Crisp)".

4:28 - Ok so i noticed the Mistake... It is about the placement on the keyboard but then the entire Keyboard notes are off by 2 notes to the right. so the A would have to be where the F is in the picture. It's just been designed by someone who has absolutely no clue about music/keyboard layout. But have fun reading my explanations before i noticed what OP meant... I'm stupid Ooofff okay either America/any Country that isn't Germany uses a completely different tonality System than ours or this keyboard is actually correct. It is not in Violin Key but in bass key (the lower keys on the left side of the piano/keyboard) the notes are noted differently when in bass key. So the A is correct where it is located. If this was Violin key this would be an F. even if this was in Violin key (idk what the actual word is. google said viola - we call it Bratschenschlüssel - it's two mirrored c on top of each other) this not would've been a G.
