is that what hooters is for?

It's not for people that like good food.

I went to a Hooters once around 2006 or so. Their hottest wing sauce was called "911" and for fun when the waitress came around I pointed to that on the menu and told her that I was deeply offended that Hooters would dare to use our "sacred tragedy" of 9/11 for the name of some wings. She immediately got all bug-eyed and said "oh no no no no no that's not what it means" and ran to get her manager. Manager dude came over and apologized profusely and insisted it was named after the emergency phone number. He comped the whole table's bill and gave me four $50 gift certificates to boot. At that point I was way too embarrassed to admit I was just kidding.

I never ended up using the gift certificates. It helped that Hooter's food sucks.

During WWII, 11% of the draftees in Great Britain were sent down into the coal mines instead of getting to go off and shoot Nazis. As if this weren't bad enough by itself, the veteran miners resented these draftee miners and would often haze them with hilarious practical jokes like letting the elevator cages free-fall on their way down.

We're school bus drivers lol. We work four hours a day.

I made ham and bean soup a couple of months ago. To thicken it, I threw in a big handful of leftover takeout fries and it worked great.

Heavy metal is good for you.

Eh, the Moebius stuff was great but a lot of the material just pandered to adolescent boys.

I walked into my break room at work a couple of years ago and overheard some of my female coworkers complaining about the formula shortage. I asked if they'd ever thought about breastfeeding and they looked at me like I'd just grown a second head. I get that some women here and there might need a supplement for this, but the idea that feeding babies canned formula should be the norm is completely insane.

Yeah, valerian root ain't getting rid of your microplastics buildup.

I worked at a vitamin store chain owned by the parents of a college friend of mine (who is now worth $34 million lol - that chain has turned into a miniature Whole Foods) for a few months. I remember one customer came in because she was going through a divorce, and the cashier said "oh, you need St. John's Wort for that". Nobody there thought this was unusual in any way.

Also knew a guy in college who claimed to be a Breathitarian. We caught him at the Ponderosa steak house in the next town over one night.

A Vietnamese takeout place just opened near me and I gave it a shot. Went in to pick up the food and it was all white people and I knew it wasn't going to work out. I was not disappointed in my negativity. It was like these people had watched a single TikTok video on Vietnamese cuisine and decided to open a restaurant. Probably just a front for laundering drug money.

Probably copy-pasted from some other app ... which is also lying about data security.

On my first day at a new job in 1998, I watched a guy get escorted out of his office and the building carrying his stuff in a cardboard box. My use of the verb "escort" is ironic because it turned out that the guy had been running a prostitution ring. He'd gotten an 800 number that redirected to his office phone number, and he kept track of everything (names and phone numbers of his clients and girls and records of every arrangement) in a spreadsheet on his work computer. He only got busted because the company upgraded everybody's PC and had techs look through all the old PCs to make sure nothing important was going to get deleted; this dude had named his spreadsheet something like "call girls.xls" and had it on his Windows desktop.

This seemed amazing to me, but after working there a few months I realized how somebody could get that sloppy. IT Security at this place was fucking lax. None of us programmers had an identifiable boss or anything like clearly-defined responsibilities, or even rigid work hours. I remember one stretch for about a month where in a room with 50 people in it, all everybody did all day was call into the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? hotline and try to get onto the show.
