GuardianOfAsgaard posted:No the point is the tray allow you to actually get at the crisps without trying to shove your hand down the tube. Yes and the counterpoint is that the chips must be smaller to facilitate the fitting of the tray (or the tube has to be larger), and it creates needless waste. There's already a perfectly good way to get pringles and pringles-alikes out of the can: it's called putting your hand over the top and turning the can upside down.

Are you like one of those people in an infomercial that can't seem to perform everyday tasks without spilling everything or falling down or getting a goofy confused look on your face?

Different breeds of chicken lay different color eggs. No nutritional difference, just in some places it's easier to get white eggs or brown eggs depending on what chickens the farmers keep.

White eggs used to be the more expensive kind, because people thought they were "pure" or some horseshit. Now the brown eggs are more expensive because they're more "natural". Why?

Maybe it's just because I'm tired, I don't know, but I found this group amusing:   Now I kind of want to start a "replace people's faces with eggs" photoshop thread, but I don't know how to use photoshop so I guess you're all safe from that.

Pre-fab cabinetry. But they could have removed the knobs and filled the holes with something to make it less obvious. My condo has an unusable cabinet door tucked away beside our stove as well.

My apartment's full of weird/stupid poo poo like this. Observe:  Drawer that can't be opened unless the oven is open.  Recessed full length hallway mirror full of Chinese VHS and Betamax tapes. Landlord didn't even know it was there. I was hoping for something more interesting, but it's mostly just Hong Kong cop TV shows and some home videos from the 70s.  Does nothing.  Does nothing.  Middle nub does nothing.  Little switch does nothing.  Both do nothing.  Here's a doozy. Outlet in the cupboard ceiling, somehow on the same fuse as the 2 bedrooms on the other side of the house. We know this because if we run the microwave on high while our computers are running, we blow a fuse. But only in the bedrooms and that one kitchen outlet. Whoever designed this house was the personification of

Clearly you live above a kidnap/murder hole. Listen for screams next time you flip those switches. Chances are there's snuff videos after the first few minutes on the tapes.

Groverhaus II: Grove Harder Seriously though how do you know they do nothing? Do you just flip the switches, see nothing happen, and assume they do nothing, or did you actually check the wiring? They have to exist for a purpose, even if that purpose doesn't exist anymore.

The cupboard outlet is pretty normal, they're put there in case you have a microwave that's suspended from the cabinet so that you don't have to run a visible wire downwards towards an outlet. And my parents have the same problem with opening the oven first to get to a drawer in their house, seems like it's a pretty common mistake. The little switches everywhere are the weirdest, the house must've been built by a bored electrician who liked to tinker.

Yeah, those switches must do SOMETHING. Not quite as strange of as that, but the house I rent has this.. thing.  It ticks softly like an egg timer constantly. There's no way to stop it. The bar at the top right turns on our exterior flood lights, that's all I know. I assume it's some sort of timer for the outside lights, but I don't have the slightest clue how it's intended to function. Our landlords don't have any idea either.

That's a range up top. Those cabinets are for access if you need to work on the range. We had one of these once and it can be a lifesaver not having to rip up everything.

PainterofCrap posted:It's missing little red & green nubs that slide into those grooves to set the time. Different type of timer, the prong things on the outer part are movable, and you flip up the range you want it on, and leave down the range you want off. I use these extensively because gently caress if you don't lose those little plastic things eventually.

TShields' looks more like you're supposed to turn the lights on, then line up the dial with the arrow just below the top screw to set when they're to be turned off. That way you're not wasting electricity between sunrise and whenever you'd get up. My parents' house used to have something similar before they installed the light sensors instead.

I'm guessing he found at least 2 of the right combinations - 1 to open the Secret Betamax Closet, and the other to control the Garbage Disposal of Wonderment. Eagerly awaiting a news article indicating he found the Hidden Trapdoor to the Abyss that shoots him out into one of the property dumpsters
