me, when I see a dog:
Beach Boys -Â Wouldnât It Be Nice From Another Room
I canât listen to this without crying
Iâm going to reblog this at least twice a day increasing in frequency until itâs the only content on my blogâŚâŚ nothing else mattersâŚâŚ at allâŚâŚ..
*over the loudspeaker at ikea* FIRST BLOOD
i think if i, in the flesh, heard that in an ikea some primal part of me would break out and smash a norrnäs over the closest personâs head
Child Hood Memories you have to reblog if when you saw this you heard the man say it in your head
This was the most fucking annoying commercial
COMING SOON [speakers blow out] TO OWN ON DVD [children scramble for the remote] AND VIDEO CASSETTE [atomic bomb explodes in living room]
please listen to Bertâs nephew i am begging you
Ernie: how about a shark, to swim
Bertâs nephew:
Every single time I say the phrase âI was classically trained in the art of multiple choice testsâ everyone in the room whoâs not a millennial laughs at my joke while all the other millennials in the room immediately look like they just walked in on a funeral by accident.
teach me please
Why? It has nothing to do with the real world and Iâm mad that the school system taught me how to take multiple choice tests rather than write a report for a job or properly research what issues are important when deciding who to vote for in an election. Or like⌠accurate history. You know. Actual stuff you need to know to be a person.
im currently stuck in the school system and I want cheat codes
Okay, I completely understand wanting to know the actual stuff, I want to know those things too, and those are things im working on learning. but to be able to get to the information that tells me these things I need to survive this hellhole of a system and im bad at tests, which means i dont survive very well.Â
Okay fine.
Read the entire question twice to look for tricky wording. If youâre allowed to write on it circle or underline words like NOT or EXCEPT or other things your brain might skip over. This will make it less likely youâll skip over them.
Read all the answers before answering. Sometimes the wrong answers are so stupid you donât even have to work out the problem or try to remember the thing.
If the entire test is about the same subject (Colonial America for example) answers might be found in previous questions. Like question #6 might ask who wrote Common Sense. You might remember that back in question one it said âIn Common Sense by Thomas Paineâ and thereâs your answer. This happens a lot more often than youâd think.
If you donât know the answer cross out the answers you know are incorrect. If there are four answers but you know one of them is wrong your odds of guessing right just went up from 25% to 33%. If you can eliminate two answers then you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.
If you canât eliminate any answers at all guess C. The placement of correct answers isnât completely random and C is the answer slightly more often than other answers. If you guess randomly your odds of getting the answer right actually goes down.
Read study guides and take practice tests. Actually read them. Especially if theyâre written by the same person who wrote the test youâll be taking. Youâll be more likely to pick up on their quirks and what kind of trick questions they write if you use the study material. Youâll also know what to study and what to leave.
For sections where thereâs a list of words you have to match to definitions read the words first. Youâre probably more likely to know the definition of a word then the word that goes with a definition. (or time period or math method or whatever). Answer the ones you know and leave the ones you donât until youâre completely done with that section. Then look at your remaining words and definitions and match them to the ones that sound the least ridiculous.
Donât take a test on an empty stomach unless youâre fasting for religious reasons. I donât care if you havenât eaten breakfast in twenty years. Youâre gonna eat something before you take that test.
Remember that taking multiple choice tests is a skill that not everyone is naturally good at and itâs a skill that means absolutely nothing in the real world. So however you do on this test doesnât dictate your worth as a person.
As someone who is also classically trained in the art of multiple choice test, I can confirm
Yeah I learned all this shit too. And like while most things public school teaches you is such fucking bullshit, this is actually true.
Things I didnât understand as a child: Â
why youâd make your bed every morning if youâre gonna sleep in it anyway
taxes

The next person who tries to correct me when I say âHappy Holidaysâ is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, âNo, itâs MERRY CHRISTMAS.â Iâm pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstarâs boycotting butt, Karen.
My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the âWar on Christmasâ bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:
âMerry Christmas.â âHappy holidays.â âNo. I said Merry Christmas.â âDo you know what Hanukkah is about?â âNo, what?â âSome people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up and killed them. Happy Hanukkah.â
I celebrate Christmas, but generally avoid holiday themed greetings when working as a cashier unless the customer mentions their holiday specifically.Â
The other day, two older ladies were buying briskets and told me they was for their Hanukkah celebration that night, so I responded something like âWell Happy Hanukkah! Itâs the third night, right?âÂ
I shit you not these two old ladies were so tickled that someone at a store wished them a happy Hanukkah. One of them literally told me I was âthe first one to do thatâ.Â
To those who think thereâs a war on Christmas, please get the fuck over yourself and remember that not everyone experiences the world the way you do.
can i add that saying âhappy holidaysâ doesnt mean ânot merry christmasâ it means âi hope that whatever you celebrate is joyful and peaceful and a good timeâ like back tf up if you think otherwise
This good boy is a chimera, which is an animal that is genetically two animals, in this case heâs a yellow and black lab. This means he is twice the good boy. (Not my picture, found on Facebook)
this is by far the least upsetting dog chimera Iâve ever seen

I have exactly one (1) lifehack for every adult thing and that is âadmit your ignorance to customer service peopleâ
no, seriously! I know how nothing in adult life works, but I have learned it by calling up the customer service division of whatever agency I am having a problem with and then just asking about whatever the problem is, emphasizing my complete lack of knowledge about the thing.
my actual literal script for these interactions:Â âHi, my name is [name]. This is my problem: [problem]. I donât know how [adult thing] works. could you explain how [adult thing] works?â it fucking works every time.
me:Â I keep getting conflicting information as to whether my therapist is covered by my health insurance. I donât know anything about health insurance, so this is very confusing to me. could you explain why this might be happening? health insurance customer service:Â itâs because your normal health insurance is X company but your mental healthcare is subcontracted out to Y company, and Y covers your therapist but X doesnât. just always bill Y when you go to your therapist and youâll be fine.
me:Â I accidentally put the wrong date to pay my credit card off and Iâm afraid it will post before I get paid. this is my first credit card so I donât know what Iâm doing. could you tell me when it will post? customer service person:Â it will send a message to your bank today, but your bank wonât respond to it until tomorrow when you get paid, so youâre fine. and even if it does bounce, the fee is only $25 and you qualify for a waiver.
me: I went to an urgent care place that said theyâd take my health insurance, but now i have a big bill. I donât know how billing works: can you explain why the amount is so much for such a routine trip? customer service person: itâs because you were out of network at the time. however, since your insurance hasnât covered the cost of care, the urgent care people should refund you for the cost of the services you paid for. me:Â [gets actual check in mail for the $200 I spent on testing my pee]
I would not recommend this method for retail (for the love of god, do not tell a sleazy car dealer that you donât know how cars work), and sure, sometimes you have to speak to the manager or threaten a credit card chargeback or whatever you need to do. but 99% of the time, speaking nicely and admitting to needing help has worked wonders for me, and means I donât have to stew in terror over doing some adult thing Wrong.
legit this works for like, shopping for clothes for occasions that dont normally come up in your life, i the retail peon will teach you how to wear a suit
