What hills are you dying on?
-
Thongs aren't uncomfortable
The feet ones or the butt ones?
-
- ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-05-23) are the only correct date formats.
- We should stop using time zones and daylight saving.
Stop using timezones? So every day would actually be two weekdays because at some random point in time it would switch date during the day. Let's meet next Monday wouldn't even specify a single day anymore in most countries. And there is no real benefit to stop using timezones, just downsides. Yes you'd know which time it is anywhere but you still wouldn't know of they are awake or not and have to either look it up or remember it - the same you have to do now.

Small typo in my comment, was supposed to say get a laugh out of my wife
It served its intended purpose. It was for Valentines or our anniversary or something, so I was waiting in the bed for her to come home in my leopard thong, rose petals scattered around, and some funky 70s porno music playing, and she cracked the fuck up.
That's oddly sweet.

. The race of a voice actor doesn't matter
. It is possible to wear yoga pants because there comfy
. You don't need to shower everyday
. It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans
. Monty Python is very overrated
Misuse of their there and they're.

Butt ones as this isn't Australia, lol. It wasn't until I was older myself I realized that thong had a different meaning around the world. I remember as a kid taking trips to Australia people used to always call things "thongs" and thought anything of it. As a New Zealander they'll always be Jandals to me.

For the “Midwest”, in my opinion:
- Ohio is in the Midwest (or at least the places you can order “pop”…maybe this isn’t a thing in Ohio…I don’t know…Ohio sucks…Go Blue)
- North/South Dakota shouldn’t be
- Kansas shouldn’t be
- Nebraska shouldn’t be
see, i've always felt that kansas is just about the most midwest there is

It's too much to remember

You should use your blinker when turning into a parking space
And you should back in.
-
You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.
And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.
And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.
Basically most people shouldn't have pickup trucks.
I would go further. Most cars don't belong in places where people live. They injure and kill people on the regular, the noise pollution causes mental and physical health problems, the light pollution disrupts sleep, the particulate pollution causes cardiovascular disease and dementia, as well as damaging ecosystems, driving adds to obesity and issues related to a sedentary lifestyle, the physical space they take leads to sprawl and ecosystem destruction, and the sprawl also bankrupts cities and towns. As well, driving in traffic just plain sucks as an activity, and makes people angry and miserable.

We could use UTC.
You can use UTC, right now. Nothing's stopping you.

Come to India. Seems like your dreamland.

I never understood the benefit of this. You need to go backwards at some point regardless.

How so? They are 3 different words with 3 different meanings.
“their” is about possession
“there” is a place
“they’re” is “they are” -
Dampening is making things wet. Damping is reducing oscillations in something.
Every time I hear or read people using them interchangeably is infuriating.
Dampening is making things -wet- ...
moist, or slightly wet.
The meaning of this word stops short of "drenching/dousing something". -
Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad.
The word Data was originally a plural word, and should be again, for all time
Data is plural of datum, which also corresponds to the English word date. When Gregorian calender was introduced in Europe, for decades dates were the only things written in Indian style numerals.

You/your/you're wrong. Other mistakes take precedence.

Simple: Visibility and speed. You look at a parking spot, and if it's empty, it's definitely empty. It's virtually guaranteed to stay that way as you back in, so you don't need to monitor what's in it. No cars, cyclists, pedestrians, emergency vehicles, et cetera, are going to enter the parking stall as you back in. That's not true of a street or lane when you back out into it. It's often difficult to even see traffic coming, as backup cameras don't have the wide-angle coverage, and there's always the possibility that you didn't see somebody.
As a result of both of those factors, with practice, backing in can be done in seconds, and pulling out is a breeze. Pulling in forward is a breeze, but for most people, backing out is a slower, more nerve-wracking maneuver. (At least that's my assumption from watching how long it takes.) On the other hand, the people who just YOLO it back out into traffic are psychopaths.

I didn't think your original points seemed controversial enough to even be hills, but this ONE! This right here... I don't even have a clue what it is.
I'm picturing testicles wearing a cowboy hat.
-
Oh boy I originally read this as that we needed to pick one of your listed hills and get behind it, and I liked the concept
I was 100% in agreement with all of them until the last one.
-
Seconded on Monty Python - he should feel terrible about that travesty.
Also a shower per day minimum for everyone is necessary and that’s the hill I’m dying on. Clean your stinky arse up.
I used to think that as well. But what if it turned out that over-showering was actually the thing that makes you stinky?
