My dream car has been the Jaguar XK8 for a solid 20 years, my understanding is that they're about as reliable as an all electric Renault but 10 year old me was more focused on the beauty and so is 30 year d me.

Until I saw the sub I thought this was going to be a question about what to call the postal officer now that we live in a modern society where women are trusted to stuff letterboxes as well as men. Postie is of course the answer to that.

I drive on a lot of rural roads in the UK, mainly Wales, most of the time I'm just happy when the road has space for two cars to squeeze through and some visibility for what's coming around the corner of that rural lane. Actual physical lines separating the lanes? Oh boy it's my birthday. Yet with all that, we have a death rate per 100 million miles of just over a third of somewhere like the US, so I'd imagine the size of cars and inadequate licence requirements are probably bigger issues for road safety

My first assumption was that they'd made coffee flavoured cookie dough with different levels of roast (think my mind turned the chopping board in to a countertop)

The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I'm way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.

If you can think of a stupid opinion you can find a redditor that holds it, that's just what happens when you have a huge terminally online community.

I have started 100,000 things with a completionist goal and then almost always given up by about 10% in. My current goal is to climb all 159 Marilyns in Wales (they're hills/mountains, not women) and I'm already getting impatient after 5.
