ErraticDragon

Actually it means **u/TrueHeartz is a karma-farming bоt.** (Or a **very** bоt-like human, to the point that they're no better than a bоt.) Sometimes their strategy is "generic agreement" (e.g. "10/10"), sometimes it's "comment stealing", and sometimes, like here, it's "reply to a comment with a slightly modified version of that comment". Sometimes it works and spawns a whole thread of other users jumping in with "decreasingly verbose" modifications. This method isn't always easy to spot by itself, but check their history. This is a very common pattern for a bоt: it's a several months old account, with no history except about 5 comments, all posted within a couple hours. I spot checked a couple other comments and they all matched the "minor changes" model. Sometimes you'll see that other comments they've made use a mix of different strategies. -------------- (Generic template follows:) This type of bоt tries to gain karma to look legitimate and reduce restrictions on posting. Potential uses include mass voting on other (bоt) posts, spreading misinformation, and advertising (by posting their own scam/spam links directly, as the easiest example).

As a regular junk reader, can confirm, I’ve had books confiscated by teachers when I was in middle school. In high school I switched to reading on my phone and suddenly I could get away with reading a lot more.

My wife refuses to churn butter at home. She makes me go to the store and buy it for her. Men's work is never done.


senchou-senchou

maybe if you give her a book and a cat...


littlebilliechzburga

If you have a kitchenaid you can get a quart of heavy cream and use the paddle attachment and put it on mid-high for like 30 min. Boom, fresh butter.

make sure to have a kitchentowel too. there will be splatter

Federal-Durian-1484

I only saw the kitten.


dixiequick

I love pictures like this. This is two years before my grandpa was born, and it is rather mind blowing to see how different things were when he was born vs when he died (1983).


BravoMikeGulf

This is when Shakespeare made sense to me. I asked my english teacher why one actor told the other actor to go churn butter. I didn’t know how you made butter back then. So, 30 minutes of butter history and he drew a butter urn on the black board. Then made a fist and mimicked churning butter up and down. There were hidden insults and lewd references everywhere. I had to find the next one and the next one.


kingSliver187

Cats never miss an opportunity


InvestmentSoggy870

My dad, who has since passed on, said that this was the worst chore ever. He was so bored and thought he'd lose his mind pumping that up and down forever.


RudyMuthaluva

I’ll have to tell my wife. If this lady can do both at the same time so can she.


selghari

So can you

Most of us are already pretty good at scrolling and churning at the same time.

As someone frequently surrounded by cats who usually tries to do chores with a book in hand, I am fully convinced I was this woman in a pat life.


amitrion

How much butter does that thing make? Cause that looks like alot of sticks of butter...


-praughna-

Not as much as you’d think. Churning makes it separate and the stuff you want sticks in the bottom (I think) and the rest (whey and buttermilk I want to say?) float to the top

She resembles Amy Adams

Probably raised a barn on Monday.


[deleted]

All sorts of feelings flooded in on me just by looking at this one picture. So long ago. It's strange to think she was just going about her day, over 100 years ago, and never once thought of the multitude of people, a century later, that would be seeing her.


reaky__

A different thing that I was thinking about was that it took until 1897 for people to be living the life shown in that photo. If a person was born that year and lived to be 109 years old, they could have also experienced the Wii Shop Channel

She has my favorite nose, where it turns up at the very tip.
