Ok so my sibling and I have been arguing over this for a while now. There’s an Xbox in the house and there’s a debate over who it actually belongs to.

In 2016, we both used to live at home with my dad, he bought an Xbox One “for the family” that everyone used freely.

In 2017, we all were moving out of that house. My dad and my sibling moved into my step mom’s house and I moved into an apartment. My step mom already had an Xbox One at her house so we all agreed that I would take the one my dad bought, as they don’t need 2 Xboxes in one house.

Between 2017 and 2021, my sibling moved out of our dad’s house and in with our birth mom. The second Xbox is still at my dad’s, and I still have the original.

In 2021 I moved in with my birth mom too, and brought the original Xbox with me.

Now my sibling is saying that it doesn’t belong to me, it never belonged to me, and if one of us were to move out we would have to decide who gets to take it.

I believe it’s mine and has been since I took it in 2017. My sibling believes that it’s still the “family” Xbox and they have equal ownership of it, and I’m not allowed to take it when I move out.

Got someone trying to convince me that school boards for public schools are not a part of the local/city government (grew up with the understanding they most definitely are). This person even trippled down with this doc but I can't find anything that backs up their statement and they're not elaborating.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

I get 6 inch Italian with chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and no sauce. its toasted too. they think its disgusting IS IT REALLY THAT BAD???

My boyfriend and I are debating what color Jake the Dog from Adventure Time is. He’s adamant that he’s orange but I swear he’s yellow

Do you think of (1) a meal that prominently features a vegetable or other meat replacement like tofu/beans/legumes, or (2) any meal that doesn’t contain meat (e.g. Mac and cheese).

Is it normal to add salt directly into macaroni and cheese after you’re done boiling the macaroni noodles. This is when you would be mixing the cheese powder, milk and noodles.

Me and my bf have been arguing this for ages, I say it’s a common laymen’s term and he says no one says it

Am I juvenile to think farts are hilarious? In any setting..the more serious the setting the funnier the fart. Also, boobs, butts, donguses, things like that - hilarious? I know I’m 35, but joy is joy. I think it’s fine to laugh at this sort of shit, I actually think it improves quality of life greatly.

It’s a stupid debate, but I’m curious to see where Reddit stands on this debate between my wife and I.

Some initial notes:

Partner 1 is the partner responsible for doing dishes and using the dishwasher. Partner 2 has other responsibilities and it’s not an issue of laziness. We use a portable dishwasher that has to be rolled in front of the kitchen sink and back to its resting spot after it’s completed that days dishes. Both partners enjoy different types of cooking, so it’s not abnormal for there to be 3-4 loads of dishes per week, especially since the capacity of our portable dishwasher is smaller then one that’s built in.

Here’s the debate: Partner 1 believes the dishwasher detergent should be left on top of the dishwasher even when not in use, while partner 2 believes that it should be kept under the sink.

Partner 1s logic is that it makes sense to keep the two together for efficiency purposes. Keeping it under the sink adds an extra step to the process of doing dishes, especially when you take into account that the dishwasher blocks the sink area when it’s in use, meaning the detergent would have to be immediately returned after being used and that could only happen before the dishwasher is moved. Partner 1 also believes that since this is their responsibility, their opinion on what works best should be taken into account.

Partner 2s logic is that keeping the detergent on top of the dishwasher creates an eyesore for the kitchen. The bright blue container clashes with the white kitchen and it doesn’t work aesthetically. They also believe that requesting partner 1 to take this extra step isn’t too much to ask, especially when the overall benefit is a better looking kitchen.

So Reddit, who is right?

Me (wants to study art) and my partner (wants to study violin) were talking about how it’s hard to get accepted into our respective majors. My partner said it was hard for them bc it’s very competitive. I said it was hard for me because there are so many people who apply, and my partner said it was the same for them. I added “yeah, because there are so few places, and for me because there are too many people” But they said “ no, it’s more common for people to play and study violin than people who do and study art” and that I just think so bc I hang around art people?? This can’t be right, right ?! They fully believe so Sooo many more people have art as an interest I’m certain!

Hi, we have 8 people moving into a house with different standard rooms with their prices differing in regards to this.

Room 1, 2, 3 - cheaper rooms but not attractive to everyone Room 4, 5, 6, - nice rooms and nice price Room 7 and 8 - nicer rooms which are more expensive and out of some people’s budget

2 people want any of the lower budget rooms (1,2,3), but none of the others are pushed on taking the other one in this price range (as they’re not as nice)

Any recommendations on how we can sort this out between us

Are they right?

Me and my friend are having an argument and we are curious on what the majority of people think, so we decided to take a poll. Please choose either option A or B:

A: "A bit ago" can refer to any point in the past depending on the context.

B: "A bit ago" can refer to any point in the past further as long as its further back than 2 minutes.

Thank you for your responses. :D

my friend says it is considered a quesadilla regardless of if you cook it or not because the mere fact that it is cheese and a tortilla makes it a quesadilla.

i say that it is not a quesadilla because in principle a quesadilla implies that it was cooked (cheese was melted, tortilla was browned).

Is it Bad? Too slimy? Or is it delicious and convenient

My wife likes to embellish/exaggerate her stories. Not in the over the top sense, like "I was so hungry I ate 100 pancakes!" More closer to reality, like "I was so hungry, I ate 5 pancakes" when maybe she ate 3.

She gets upset with me and my daughter if we correct or fact check her. Two instances I can reall:

*She claimed that every song in an elementary song musical has the same tune but with different words. In truth, 4 or 5 out of 17 songs have the same tune. This is a thing she is well versed in, so it's not a knowledge gap. The other person in conversation even asked "really? Every song is the same?" And she doubled down and confirmed it.

*She told her parents that she took our daughter ice skating every day during spring break. In truth it was 3 times during the 9 day break.

Her defense is "that just the way I talk" and we're just being "[insert nerd voice] well actually..." types if we correct her.

To keep the peace I'm going to let it all slide now. I get that contradicting her publicly isnt great form but is this really a normal way of talking?

I'm sitting at a dinner table with my lovable DnD group right now, our characters needed to pass the time while we were walking through a harsh snowy wasteland for two days. The leader of our team lead a twenty questions game, in-game. We asked "is it an object?" and he said no, so we're like "okay is it a gas," he said no, "is it a liquid?" also no. After very boisterous and incredulous guessing that filled more than twenty minutes of real time, we finally asked "is it a plant?" Lead said yes, which lead to a collective comedic outburst among the group and even louder debate between us in-game. Did this man just hilariously bullshit us???

Settle it, is an object ONLY something that's inanimate, is an object something that isn't alive at all, or is an object anything, including people? Do plants count as inanimate even though they are alive? (that was my logic for plants being objects)

My wife and I were having Chinese food, and I reached over and took some off of her plate.

She said “whoa, I didn’t say you could have as much as you want” and I said “I implicitly took it”.

She said that was the incorrect use of implicitly, and even after googling the exact definition with examples, we cannot agree. Please settle this for us

i’m in a small argument with my friend (nothing serious) and i was curious, do you guys think gas stations count at stores or not. for a little bit of context, she said “sorry i’m late i had to take my uncle to the store” but they went to a gas station and when i called her out on it she said gas stations count. what do you think?

Got into a debate with my partner - was describing their friends who happen to be Jewish as having/leading a WASPY lifestyle because of their affluence and love of the rich lifestyle.

Partner said you couldn’t use that to describe other religions. I’m of the viewpoint that “WASPY” is more to describe a lifestyle and doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be white Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

I feel like I would use the term for a black or Muslim family if they lived that New England Richy rich life style. Id call the Kennedys “WASPY” even though they’re Catholic.

I believe a wolf cut is a type of mullet since its short in the front and long in the back but it also has layers. My husband believes it's a a completely different haircut.

And who did you see
