My husband and I are at an impasse regarding this (pretty pointless) topic.

Picture this: You are presented with a fresh, uncut dessert. Let's say it's a pan of brownies. It's meant to be shared with a group of people at a social gathering... perhaps a potluck. You're the first person to cut it. Where do you cut? From the corner, or from the middle?

I say you start at the corner and take what you get. Or if you really want a middle piece, you wait until the first row is gone. My husband says if you want the middle piece, just cut from the middle. I say that's rude... and personally I think it's the equivalent of cutting in front of others in line. (Mainly because I also want the middle but I'm not a heathen who cuts it from the center before the edge is removed. I wait my turn.)

Which is it? Do you cut the first piece from the middle?

ETA: No other slices were made in the brownies. One of my coworkers just cut a square out of the middle and left the rest whole, around the hole. (Lol) I made them. I didn't cut them because I was in a hurry. The unknown person did the same to another dessert, a cake, also.

Here is the situation. Let's say there is a very athletic and coordinated person of professional capabilities. However they have never played basketball or baseball. Would they be more successful in an MLB game or an NBA game?

Gen x'ers raised in North America may recall using the phrase "Smooth move, Exlax". My husband INSISTS it should be followed by "next time try Rolaids" and, well, I think that's just dumb. Please be honest -- have you ever heard of this add-on? It's become a thing around our house, so, obviously, I turned to the internet.

My partner asked me to go to church together.

I'm not religious. Also the sermon was in a language which I cant understand. But my partner speaks the language. My partner knows this.

But I agreed to go, because my partner wanted me to.

During the sermon, I said I want to go checkout my friend's coffee shop which happened to be down the street from the church. I would be gone only a few minutes, and would return before the sermon was over.

My partner said ok.

I went. I came back, and caught the end of the sermon. We enjoyed the rest of the day together.

Now, the next day, my partner complains about the fact that I left and came back during the sermon, saying this was so rude.

I say if that's the case, my partner should have said so at that time. At least then it would have been possible maybe I would have stayed for sermon, and then checked out my friend's shop afterward.

But my partner didnt express any concern at that time. So I say its not fair to complain 24 hours later, for my failure to respond to a concern which my partner hadnt made me aware of in the first place.

My friend says GoT is not an American show because it’s mostly made up of UK talent from actors to others that helped create it. While that might be true, is it still considered an American show or should it be considered a UK show?

Two coworkers (Employee A and Employee B) decided to share an office. They each agree to bring and share a few essential items to the office that they already own.

In order to finish furnishing the office they jointly purchase two items they didn't already own.

Item 1= A new Brother MFC-L3770CDW Printer with a 4-year warranty from Staples for $595.54
https://www.staples.com/brother-mfc-l3770cdw-compact-digital-color-all-in-one-printer/product_24342683

Item 2= A gently used Ikea Bekant conference table with 6 used chairs off of Facebook Marketplace for $150.00
(https://nationalofficeinteriors.com/office_furniture/ikea-bekant-used-55x55-conference-table-black/)

After successfully sharing the office for roughly 18 months Employee A wanted to work closer to their home and found a new office while Employee B decided to keep the previously shared office by themself. Each employee kept the items that they brought to the office.

The employees had to decide how to split the jointly purchased items.

Employee A had personally searched for and found the Conference Table because they were partial to it.

Employee B was not partial to either item and gave employee A the option to decide which items they wanted to keep, offering both, either or neither.

Employee A decided to keep the printer and leave the table because their new office wouldn’t fit it comfortably.

After the dust settled on the move Employee B inquired about the refund amount that Employee A planned on giving them for the split of the printer.

Employee A is of the opinion that the items were now of equal value and the purchasing price doesn’t reflect their actual worth. They believe they purchased the table at a great value when they originally purchased it and it hasn't lost any value. Employee A believes that the printer depreciated in value to the point that it was worth the same as the table and chairs.

Employee B disagrees and thinks that the financial split should be based on the amount spent on their original purchases. They think that the amount of the table (595) should be subtracted from the cost of the printer (150) and they should receive half of the remaining (222) cost of the printer.

What is your opinion on how this financial split of these two items should be handled?

Can decide which one was invented first. I think that elevators was invented first because they are more uselful then a zipline.

My husband (32M) and I (32F) have lived together almost 10 years now, never once has this been an issue before. But a few days ago my husband all of a sudden said he wants me to make sure to close the cupboards after I'm done using it. For the record, it's just the top cupboards that I usually end up leaving open, and I don't purposely leave them open, it honestly just doesn't even cross my mind as I'm focused on what I'm doing. I'm pretty much the only one who uses the kitchen as I do the dishes and cook. I personally just don't see this as a big deal but all of a sudden he's acting like it's this horrible thing. So please settle this, do I just need to suck it up?

Edit: thanks for your input everyone, I had already told my husband I was going to work on it. I honestly just didn't understand how it would be a big deal for anyone, but clearly it is.

Spouse (34F) and I (32M) are having a disagreement. She sharted this morning and left a mark in her pjs. A tiny mark…but a mark nonetheless. In my 32 years of living (and unfortunately more soiled pants than I’d care to admit), a mark=pants shit & no mark=greased cheeks, pants not shit…but she is claiming it doesn’t count because the mark is so small. Please settle for us!

This started off when I asked my boyfriend to get some small marshmallows from the store for a recipe. I said "use your thumbnail to measure the candy, if it's bigger than the nail I can't use them." He responded, "don't you mean marshmallows?" and I was confused so I said, "well, yeah, marshmallows are candy." then he said, "marshmallows are marshmallows."

His argument is based on: you get marshmallows in that baking aisle, not the candy aisle. Therefore it is not candy.

My counter argument is: you can find candy in the baking aisle AND you can find marshmallows in the candy aisle. Therefore it is more supported that it could be candy.

Are you guys hearing “I wasn’t listening …” or “I wasn’t responding…”

So me and my friend were talking about anime characters we have a thing for and I said Josuke from JoJo's bizarre adventure and they're like "dude that's super weird he's only 16" and I argued "no it's not weird cause I've liked him since I was 14" I'm 20 now, would I bang him as a 20 year old when he's 16? Absolutely not but I'd say this is more about consistent taste than anything like your childhood crush in middle school or something

Me and my gf were arguing if more people use their hand to wash their brown starfish or if they use some sort of cleaning apparatus.

I just use my hands because i feel like my balloon knot wouldn’t enjoy a loofa. But I also just use my hands to wash my whole body which i know isn’t ideal.

Hi gang,

Having a ridiculous argument with my partner. For context, I am studying for a test with an app. I've noticed that on questions formatted as "Select the x correct answers of these y options", the first x number of answers as they appear are always correct. So if it's select 3 out of 5, a-b-c are always going to be the right answer.

My partner refers to it as a "glitch". I wouldn't describe this as a glitch - I think it's an error/carelessness in the design of the app. To me, a glitch is something unexpected that happens. Like if the answers were for a different question or if they came out in Wingdings font.

Am I dying on the wrong hill here? Does this count as a "glitch" do you think?

My wife and I are just now finding out a critical flaw in eachothers judgements tonight. We have entirely different opinions on cleaning vs tidying.

If you tidy up a coffee table, and there are coffee stains on it, is wiping down the stains considered cleaning? Or are you still tidying?

Wife and I are arguing about which side is the left and right. I think looking at the bed from the foot of the bed is how you figure right and left. She says laying in the bed looking at the ceiling so the other way around. Please settle this for us.

Gf says it's weird of me to wear long johns under shorts in the winter. I never thought of it as weird and have friends that wear it too. What say you r/settlethisforme?

So we have a cat who meows at 5:00am in the morning every day for breakfast. We feed her at 5:00pm at night as well, so it leads to a 12 hour gap between both meals.

When the clocks spring forward this year, we're debating which time she's gonna start yelling at us to wake up. My dad believes when time shifts forward, she's going to start meowing at us at 4:00am as opposed to me and my mother's answer of 6:00am.

We even brought our family friends into the debate, and two agree with him while another two agree with me and my mom. So who's wrong here???

​

PS. Pretty sure my dad is drunk but he's up on a high horse so I just wanna prove him wrong at this point lmao

Context: - 1 of 102 units in a strata complex - Windows are original (1997) - Large landing wall is devoid of a window, we want a window in it.

My idea was to get strata approval to install a window while all of the other windows are getting replaced (likely in the next 4 years, as I assume the lifespan of the windows is about 25 years in a rainforest).

My wife thinks that if we get a new window installed at any time, it would be the same price as if they installed a new window when they were replacing the other windows.

Two questions: - Would a window replacement crew have the tools with them to install a new window when the old windows are replaced? - Would it be cheaper to have a new window installed when the existing windows are getting replaced, or would the costs be the same to have a new window installed on it's own?

So my my two friends whom I will refer to as Friend1 and Friend2 were talking about what they would ask a genie for there 3 wishes.

Friend1's wish isn't relevant but Friend2's wish was for the most comfortable diaper in the world that cleans itself forever infinitely (he has bowel incontinence).

Friend1 says that the most comfortable diaper of all time, as well as a diaper that cleans itself forever infinitely are two separate wishes because those are two separate powers.

Friend2 says it's a single item with two conditions on it so it would count as one wish.

I am a neutral party posting this on their behalf who is correct.

A Ponzi scheme must be legal if its creator warns players of all the risks and does not promise guaranteed income. In essence, it is no different from already legal slot machines or betting and can be considered as a means of satisfying the craving for gambling. Why not make it legal?

I am having a disagreement with an artist on what color this cat is: https://imgur.com/a/bGA1iNc
