    You made me get up to look for a tape measure. Couldn’t find one. 2e coin will have to do.

    The Hellmans mayo bottle is definitely not 3cm. The other one is way wider but the Hellmans is barely the size of a 2e coin, a 2e coin not fitting in it and a 2e coin being roughly an inch (25.75cm as opposed to an inch which is 2.54cm)

    Look at this

    Idk of any inch wide mini spatulas. Could be useful but I’ve not seen any.

    My ketchup bottles are also probably closer to 2" than 1"

    Oh and I’m not gonna use the bottle I had the coin on, it was on sale but I didn’t like it so I’m just waiting to throw it away. Also I don’t ever scrape bottles of month old mayo, if I make my own I use it like at least within a week. Even if it’s mixed from mayo and other premade sauces that have long shelf lifes. I just use the bottle as a sort of medium. I make a mix of sauces, because the ketchup isn’t tasty enough, but the mayo ain’t hot enough, and the mustard isn’t sweet enough. So I mix a bit of all in decent relations, then throw in a bit of garlic, spices, jalapeño relish. Then blend and put in the squirter.

    Use for a day or a couple. Then get rid.

    Then rinse and repeat.

    Well then it’s not a terrible solution, sure, but if you’re going through the trouble already, why not use one of

    These. They’re practically free, way better shape, easy to wash, and prolly easier to fill given the whole size on those small bastards.

    Also making your own mayo / sauces is something I’m kinda used to doing nowadays. I used to think it takes a lot of effort but nah, just mix some mayos/sauces/spices/herbs/garlic, give a tiny blend if there’s hard parts and that’s it. Sometimes I fluff it up by gently adding Turkish yogurt after squeezing it out of the bottle (the yogurt loses consistency if you blend it, so I blend everything else, put it in a squeezer, than lightly mix that with the yoghurt)

    I get your point but also I’m a pedantic Lemming, so I want to point out that in the middle-ages, castle would purposefully build uneven steps. People familiar with the castle would soon get used to them and they’d be no bother, but an attacker running upwards will surely trip. And they’ll trip because of the stairs. Or will it be their own fault for not looking at each individual step to give your body the information it needs?

    Just rhetorical exercise, I don’t actually care at all about one side or the other.

    (An added stair fact, round staircases would ascend in a clockwise manner, so that right-handed defenders would have the advantage over right-handed attackers whilst fighting in the stairs.)

    Ugh, no.

    One can’t argue that personality disorders are inherently genetic. You can argue there’s a significant genetic component, but to think that someone is just going to be a narcissist despite how you would rear them is… well, bioessentialism.

    Edit oh wait sorry. You asked you didn’t argue. Everyone is born like that, yeah, like everyone is born without object permanence. Then you develop it very early on. Just like you develop a sense of self-criticism as your cognition grows. Some just never do.

    I still remember some of the channels used. Vaguely, but still. News, which time a program is on, and when you’re alone in the room, checking out the naughty adverts, as there might even be rudimentary boob graphics in the style of old Nokia logos.

    Yeah.

    You know the angles of both cats, and their relative positions (ie the angles A and C, and distance between them, b), then you can figure out the position B).

    You’re using three inputs, only only one of them was merely implied. But the person sitting there can see where the cats are, and thus knows their relative distance.

    If cat A was (from the POV of the human) in an unfixed position, like having 30 virtual duplicates around him, or be in a magic mirror house or something, still visible at what direction he’s looking at, but not where he is, then the sitter couldn’t know just from the position of one cat and the angle of both cats stares.

    See?

    No it’s not. It’s the same water you get in the shower.

    The angle is such that the balls are only tangentially related to the business and may get wet because you gave the nozzle a bit too strong a squeeze and there’s generally spray everywhere anyway.

    You have a nozzle with unlimited water coming out of it. Even if it was directly shitwater, it won’t be after the first two seconds since the clean water has rinsed everything.

    But basically your arsehole is at the furthest edge anyway so usually there’s no need to towel or paperdry the balls or the taint at all, as the water comes in an angle that then doesn’t end up touching the balls.
