    I think that changing it to something gramatically correct would make it into a compliment. “You are a genius” would make it positively charged. However, I would expect “you genius” to be something that, for instance, someone would exclaim when someone cuts their hand when trying to open an avocado. Meanwhile I think it would be strange to exclaim “you genius” when someone solves a partial differential equation. But it probably does rely on the tone.

    “You […]” makes pretty much anything an insult.

    A positive word implies sarcasm. “You genius”. “You hero”.

    A random noun drags out the negative aspect of the noun or implies lack of a brain. “You french fry”. “You paper bag”.

    Adding a random adjective just strengthens the statement. “You british bathroom sink”. “You beautiful parking lot”.

    Of couse it depends on delivery, and using random words makes some strange insults, but I rarely see “you […]” turn into a positive compliment.





  • Not sure if this is a thing everywhere, but a lot of bakeries around here will serve baked goods on a plate with a napkin under the baked goods. Not a big problem with things like croissants, but when cakes and stuff with sticky bottoms are served like this, it drives me insane. Both the purpose of the napkin and the plate has been defeated.






  • While driving, I was using google maps on android auto when I wanted to find the nearest charging station. So I used the search function in google maps. By tapping the microphone button. IN GOOGLE MAPS. Saying clearly: “Charging station”. TO GOOGLE MAPS.

    “Ok. Playing playlist ‘Charging station’ by [some random user] in spotify”

    … Nothing.

    Apparently my girlfriend, who was at home, was using Spotify at that time. So it changed the playlist for her.

    Technology is great.

    I brought a used bottle of vegetable oil as my drinking bottle to an event. What I didn’t consider was that the bottle resembled a vodka bottle, so while I was taking sips of it and thought it was funny, people just thought I was a raging alcoholic.
