Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I've accidentally eaten a peanutbutter dog treat and didn't realize until I was told it wasn't a cookie.
Ended up using dog shampoo while staying at my parents place for 2 weeks. It made my hair weird but how I figured it out was it was in one of those clear bottles with the picture on the inside behind the semi clear aqua blue shampoo. So when I picked it up for the 6th time I actually tilted it passed the point where I could see "Shampoo" and up to what I thought would be wheat or yellow flowers.

That sounds like probably too much salt or sugar for a dog, if it's palatable to a human. Source: I make dog treats
As someone who has eaten expired MREs the term palatable can mean very different things to different people. I ate a spaghetti MRE once that my grandmother said "smells like moldy paper towels" yet I stilled shovelled it down my throat. They tasted like old cardboard.
Did you .. Like it? I've eaten rotten food too, and could get it down, but wouldn't really call it enjoyable
It was acceptable I think there was just something wrong with that one in particular. Usually they just smell funky and taste fine. Also all the side shit was pretty good and the chocolate bar hadn't seperated at all so I assume there was just something wrong with the pasta.
Are you Steve?
No I am just a redneck.
To me, you are a hero. Thank you for your service!
The only service ive given is giving some poor plumber another job to do.
Gotta support local businesses.
Well, you might enjoy Steve1989mreinfo, a YouTuber who sporadically posts videos of himself consuming and reviewing MREs of varying ages.
Ive seen that man eat civil war era hard tack, I am very aware of him.
My parents, for God knows what reason, leave their dog treats in a bowl on the table. They look like oyster crackers.
I walked in one day to find my aunt eating them. I laughed and told her they were dog treats, and she was like "i was wondering why they tasted a bit weird... But they're not bad." Lol
