They are technically correct. The bacteria do stop eating your teeth after you die. At least the bacteria that are normally in your mouth.

Reply to comment by opiate_lifer in TIL that Chinese Food was introduced into America during the California Gold Rush, starting in 1848. As 30,000 immigrants had arrived from the Canton region of China, the restaurants gave the predominantly male population a connection to home and provided gathering places for the Chinese community. by jdward01
Meanwhile, the Chinese were lured into opium dens by the English.

Reply to comment by TikkiTakiTomtom in Who’s the Pokémon that can be found in the home of nearly every lonely adult? by jLAuniverse26
Presumably, it would refer to dildos. It would obviously be an exaggeration to say that every lonely adult would have one.

I don't really know the specifics but it has become a meme at this point that Vaporeon is the "most breedable" Pokemon.

Reply to comment by YEETAWAYLOL in ELI5 What is cognitive dissonance? by dreamingonastar1
>Another example: you are a pacifist but also extremely nationalistic. If you are drafted into a war, you’re going to want to fight to defend your country, but also don’t want to fight, as it involves killing.
A good example would be the movie Hacksaw Ridge (based on a true story).

Reply to comment by SilasCrane in [WP] In a galaxy that is quite xenophobic and isolationist humanity is the odd one out. We generally like aliens and want to get along. When they turned us down, we redoubled our efforts. Now our fleet is orbiting the alien's home world. We may no longer come in peace, but they will be our friends. by Kitty_Fuchs

That one really got me. Then you followed it up with some real comedy gold.

Reply to comment by SkyGriff10 in [WP] You are kidnapped by the villain regularly, but you’re starting to look forward to it. You know they won’t hurt you, and are simply being dramatic. It also doesn’t help that you are the only person they ever kidnap. This time, the hero doesn’t bother trying to save you. by SkyGriff10
Just in time for Valentines Day.

Then you probably aren't getting anywhere near 50 miles above sea level without breathing assistance.

Reply to comment by Liyen18 in [WP] Everyone is born with a power, but they can be bought and sold. Being poor, you purchase only the cheapest ones, gaining you ridicule and the title "Mr. Useless". Recently, however, you realized how you can use all these "useless" powers together, and set out to make a better name for yourself. by chacham2
r/boneappletea?
Also, more like "Something personal, kid"... since it was a personal vendetta and not a business relationship.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] The world ended 20 years ago, you haven't found a living soul since then. Through some ingenuity, you call voicemails for the last 20 years to keep you company. "Hi, this is Cindy..." "Hi you reached Bob" "You know what to do at the beep" until one day "Hello...hello? Oh my God hello!" by killznhealz
... and then it ends up being a prank voice-mail. :(

Reply to My grandpas prayer book from WW2 by Hefty-Set5236
Probably not the case but I was imagining that there was just a standard prayer book aimed at Christians and this version was "abridged" by removing any parts that weren't applicable to Jewish practitioners.
