If I seem to Understand, I'm Lying.

Kitchen appliances I would recommend purchasing when moving out on your own:

Air fryer

One of those panini press grill things (not only can you make sandwiches but you can grill chicken and steak if you have an expensive model)

Rice cooker (not only good for rice but quinoa and any other grain, alternatively you could buy an Instapot)

Electric kettle (depends on how much tea you drink but it’s good for boiling water for cleaning and preheating water for pasta etc)

Kitchen appliances I would not recommend buying when you move out on your own:

Counter top coffee maker (you should not be drinking an entire pot of coffee on your own and it will be stale by the time you get to the bottom, plus these bitches suck to clean, Keurigs, French presses and stove top percolators where you make one or two cups at a time are more practical for a single person)

Here are some things it’s okay to buy off brand/cheap:

Cleaning supplies. Most cut rate sponges, bleach sprays, Clorox wipe knock offs and cleaning chemicals get the job done just fine.

Food staples like pasta, canned vegetables, rice etc.

Here are some things you should never buy off brand/cheap:

Trash bags. I made the mistake of buying Dollar General brand ones and they ripped several times, sending garbage all over my yard while I tried to take the trash out. I had to double and sometimes triple bag which was not economical in the long run.

Toilet paper. The two and one ply stuff sucks. You you have to use much more than you would if you bought quality paper.

Good luck and God bless you to any college freshmen out there.

toaster ovens are also very useful, much more than a regular toaster. you can do many things you can do in an oven, just faster and with less hassle

anyone who told you much ado about nothing is good and worth watching was RIGHT and you should listen to them

God I love this version

[thesaltofcarthage]

spectacular version. Tennant and Tate are on fire. Their comedic and dramatic chops are outstanding. They both should have gotten Tonys for this production. Tennant has always had the gift of making Shakespeare sound spontaneous and contemporary, but Tate more than holds her own with him.

the internet archive version was taken down but it’s on youtube!

Comparing the rotations of objects in the Solar System. Just look at them lol.✨🪐

To everyone that’s confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.

[jmtorres]

i was like “i wish mercury and venus were still animated tho” and then when i opened it to reblog the image was in starting position with mercury’s eyes off to the side and i realized they ARE animated. super slow.

[alexseanchai]

the earth’s eyes are drawn in a different place every rotation

muffin tins gotta be one of the top five worst dishes to wash by hand. right up there with them fuckass blender blades. all those nooks and crannies like… don’t piss me off

[snorlaxatives]

the people have spoken. also included in that list are whisks, cheese graters, champagne glasses, and apple corers. fuck these kitchen utensils!!! 

[aliteralgrizzlybear]

Former housekeeper here:

A lot of people in the notes giving the very good advice of getting yourself a bottle brush to deal with several of these pain-in-the-ass dishes, and also to promptly run soapy water through your blender or food processor after use. I will also note: if you don’t manage to clean all these things promptly – leave your dishes with the annoying nooks and crannies to soak in hot, soapy water. After a couple of hours, take em out, rinse em, change out the soapy water, put em back. Changing the water for stuck-on gunk is the magic step no old person ever told me about how to make that process work, but two changes of hot, soapy water over the course of 4-24 hours completely unglues most things from, for example, whisks and graters.

Muffin tins with the awful little metal grooved bits inside the muffin cups? Apple corers? Buy a toothbrush with firm bristles and make it part of your sink’s dishwashing tools. Use it on these things. For the blades on the two-handed version of apple corers, a toothbrush keeps your fingers out of the blades; for the tube style apple corers, it lets you reach the sticky bullshit a sponge or cloth can’t normally get to.

Also, if you have surface rust on your (not cast-iron, and not teflon-coated) metal stuff and you want it gone before it turns into proper rust damage? Toothpaste and a scouring pad. Add baking soda if you feel like it. No water at first, just scrub a pea-sized amount of that minty bullshit in there for a bit, wipe it off with a cloth or paper towel, repeat.

[readingwritingraptures]

Also, blender blades? Shortly after you’ve finished with the blender, quickly rinse it out (don’t worry about doing a good job). Then fill it up about halfway with water and add a squirt or two of soap. Now, put it back on the stand, put the lid on, and TURN IT ON FOR A FEW SECONDS. That brief spin in soapy water is going to do more for your blender blades than any time spent soaking or scrubbing.

In most cases, you can then just rinse it out with hot water and you’re done. If there’s any scrubbing left to do, it’s usually minor. This trick has made me willing to make smoothies again.

Oh yeah and Lemony Snicket was truly canonically the result of Handler trying to come up with ‘something that a man would be named’

[elrphant]

It gets wilder. The person asked him how to spell that, and he responded by saying “just like how it sounds!” And then had her spell it back to him so he could supposedly check the spelling, but really so he could write it down and use it later

[argumate]

turns out all that “Lemony Snicket is on the run” stuff wasn’t just a framing device huh

[kiwiitin]

Gabrieeel! Now let’s all pretend to be surprised and stuff.

These are actually shrews!! They all hold onto the base of each other’s tails and travel in a line so they don’t get lost from their mother while out in the open! ((What makes it even better; these little groups are referred to as caravans!))

[devilishcreature]

Shrews are good!! Please do not kill them, they eat mice.

[futureevilscientist]

Sure, other platforms may call them “followers” too, but only Tumblr can capture the feel of a faceless crowd of huddled masses trailing after you about a city block’s distance away, picking up pages of your diary or scrawlings that you drop on the ground as you walk along. Some of these people have been there for years. Some only joined the crowd last week. Collectively, the crowd is ancient and ageless. Who are they? What do they want from you? Nobody knows. Walk a little faster.
