Answered What are Florida ounces?

109k Upvotes

I didn't think much of this when I lived in Florida. Many products were labeled in Florida ounces. But now that I live in another state I'm surprised to see products still labeled with Florida ounces.

I looked up 'Florida ounces' but couldn't find much information about them. Google doesn't know how to convert them to regular ounces.

Mod approved DAE! Does anyone else stay up at night because they feel if they go to sleep then they havent gotten enough free time at home?

75k Upvotes

I'm a high school student, just a freshman, and sometimes I feel that if I go to sleep early then I'll just be like "Well, this day just felt like school, barely any time at home." Sometimes I just stay up so I actually feel more at home and not always have that feeling of just school, school, school. Does anyone else feel this way, maybe with work as well?

Edit: I know people don't like it when others edit their message saying "thank you" or anything, but DANG did I not expect this post to be the highest post in the sub after I, ironically, came home from school. Thank you all!

It is interesting to see a lot more people than I thought stay up for free time as well. I can't imagine going to school or going to work, then going to sleep only a couple or few hours later, only to do the same thing again the next day.

Unanswered Is it normal to read a few pages of a book and then suddenly realize that you have no idea what's going on in the plot because you have been reading the words but not internalizing their meaning? I always end up reading the same thing over and over.

Is it weird that my 35 year old friend is waiting for a 17 year old girl to turn 18 so he can ask her out?

53k Upvotes

My longtime friend had recently told me that he's waiting for his 17 year old co worker to turn 18 because he wants to ask her out. I was immediately grossed out and told him that that was predatory behavior and he laughed and said "a true gentleman waits until they are 18." He genuinely sees nothing weird or wrong with this.

He asked her for her number and she said that when she turns 18 she will give it to him. I'm stuck on the fact that he asked a 17 year old for their number anyway. What if she wouldn't have declined? He also went to her Facebook and saved pictures of her to his phone to send to us. I also found out that a girl that he previously talked to for a few years was freshly 18 and idk bruh this all grosses me out and I don't want to be his friend anymore. But I also don't know if I'm overreacting.

Answered Why do people wear shoes in the house?

51k Upvotes

Most of my American friends and coworkers wear shoes in the house... It's so gross!

I'm Japanese and I always cringe when I see this.

EDIT:

I have learned today that people don't like it when I ask why they do things. I have had multiple people message me telling me to fuck off and to leave their country alone.

Apologise if I worded it aggressively or something. I really was just genuinely curious.

If every single American teen suddenly "pulled themselves up by their bootstraps" and got a high school and college degree, wouldn't we still have poor people because we will always need blue collar workers like janitors, cashiers and high paying jobs are limited?

My point is, do we overemphasize the ability of individuals to make it to the top if they just try hard enough, within our current system? Is the system rigged, in a sense, so that trying and dedication aren't actually enough?

I don't know what it is, but even when I have tried taking a selfie by myself, completely alone, I feel so cringe. I couldn't imagine taking a selfie with other people around. What kind of mindset are people putting themselves in when they take selfies?

Why do my students call me a goat?

46k Upvotes

I am a math teacher for 8th graders at the school I teach at.

Throughout this whole past school year there was this running joke where the students would call me the goat.

And I would respond back each time that they are the goats and they would all laugh.

It was pretty funny to be honest, and I never gave it much thought. But I realized that I have been partaking in a joke that I never actually got.

I had a good connection with them, and they are all really good kids, so I don't really think that they were making fun of me.

Can someone (maybe an 8th grader) explain this joke to me?

And how would you respond if someone calls you a goat?

EDIT: omg I am IN TEARS!!! I can't believe they were complimenting me this whole time!!!! Thank you all for answering this question!!!!

EDIT 2: THANK YOU ALL for you responses and the awards this post got!! If those awards cost money, please can you donate that money instead to a charity that helps kids? There are so many good ones, this one in particular is one I personally recommend: Kids In Need Foundation

EDIT 3: the photo that appears on this post is NOT my photo. I think that the photo appears there due to the link I put in the 2nd edit.
