7273 /u/Arpeggi42 If colleges really want to prepare high school students for today's job market then they should only accept students who have "at least 2-3 years college experience".

6671 /u/ChefBoyarE Dora calls herself an "explorer," but travels exclusively through mapped territories
6624 /u/throwpillo Cowboys that ride off into the sunset quickly run out of daylight and have to camp just outside of town. Probably should've just stayed put for the night instead of being all dramatic.

5933 /u/hseidema Nothing says "top of the food chain" like squid-ink calamari pasta: you're eating another animal, and seasoning it with its defense mechanism.

5755 /u/ladyoboe I never realized how short a month is until I started paying rent

5632 /u/CrumbledFingers I swallow my own saliva hundreds of times a day, but the idea of spitting into a cup and drinking it makes me gag.
5623 /u/instantpowdy Nightmares are fucking weird. Your brain is the author, viewer and cinema of a horror movie whose script is probably written as you are viewing it.
5613 /u/mack1128 Scary movies should put high pitched sounds only dogs can hear so your dog will start acting crazy for (seemingly) no reason at the scariest parts.

5554 /u/u8eR "Taking candy from a baby" would actually be a responsible thing to do.

5530 /u/get_ripped_boy There are seven year olds in America who have never had a white president
