Or do they just think "I'm taking my human for a walk". Do they actually understand that their eyes don't work? Is there any way to really know?

I know that (most) McDonald’s still have the 2 window system where you pay at one window and pick up at another, but it seems like a lot of other places have ended up ditching that concept. I see boxes and storage piled up at the first window. What happened?

Why are virgins considered a reward? Isn’t their status as virgins short-lived? Is there a similar reward for females? Are these real women who died as virgins, or are they newly created virgins for the after-life?

Up until now I always thought the holocaust was something that was done targeting the Jews. But i just learnt that the Nazi’s were all about hierarchies and so if they viewed Jews who were basically whites as inferior, how did he or how were the blacks viewed by Hitler

I always see religious groups protesting against various social issues or behaviors, but I have never seen a church actively condemn overeating or host protests outside of fast-food chains. Is there a theological reason for this, or did society just mutually agree to ignore this specific sin because food is simply too good? I am just genuinely curious how that line is drawn.

I am currently finalizing my wedding speech and the one joke I'm concerned about is:

"Before I finish thanking everyone, I just want to say thank you to our incredible suppliers for helping make today so special. I'd list them all but I don't want anyone thinking this speech contains paid promotions. Anyway, time for our regularly scheduled, Powerade hydration break. *sip drink*"

EDIT: if anyone has a better joke, please drop it here so I can steal it

EDIT: I am the groom, should have made that clear. Apologies.

Ex 1:

I’m going out with my girlfriends tonight.

- Woman

Ex 2:

I’m going out with my friends tonight.

- Man

Just was curious how or why this came to be?

What happens to a person’s debt if they get convicted for a life sentence? They will never have a job again… what happens to their debt?

I’m a huge YouTube fan, and it’s basically the only streaming platform I use. I don’t have Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, or even watch regular TV. Whenever I’m cooking, eating, or just relaxing, I put YouTube on my Smart TV.

I don’t know if this is only happening in Spain or if it’s the same everywhere, but the number of ads lately has become absolutely unbearable.
Today was the final straw. I watched a 20-minute highlight video of the World Cup final, and I’m not exaggerating: before the video even started, I got an unskippable ad that lasted over a minute. Then, every 90 seconds or two minutes, another ad would interrupt the video, usually at least 30 seconds long. By the end, I must have watched around 10–12 ads during a 20-minute video, and several of them were over a minute long.

What’s going on?

I completely understand that YouTube needs ads to make money, and I honestly don’t mind watching ads because the service is free. But this isn’t just advertising anymore it’s excessive. It genuinely feels like they’re trying to make the TV app so frustrating that you’re forced to either stop using it or pay for Premium.

Am I the only one experiencing this, or has anyone else noticed the same thing on Smart TVs?

**P.S.: This is specifically about Smart TVs. On my PC and phone I use an ad blocker, so it’s not an issue there.**

Seems like that’s always the one thing that has only like 8% daily value if that. I’ve never seen higher than that

I'm not complaining just curious. Seems like there's probably billions of searches every day, even if it only costs like a cent that adds up.

I have a hard time imagining what this job is actually like day to day. Rather than making assumptions, I'd rather hear from people who actually do it.

My questions:

1. How do you deal with the downtime? Are you allowed to listen to music or podcasts, or do you mostly just think to yourself while you're working?

2. What does a normal day look like? Do you have regular breaks and lunch like most jobs, or is the schedule different because someone always has to be out directing traffic?

3. Do you only hold the sign? Or is that just one responsibility? I'm guessing most people also help with setup, cleanup, traffic control, moving equipment, etc., but I honestly don't know.

4. What do you enjoy about the job? Is it the pay, the crew, the simplicity, being outdoors, or something else?

What do people misunderstand the most about your job?
