3 feet. Roughly a meter.

I don’t know if this is true but I’ve read that, in their fountain sodas, McDonald’s uses like 15% more flavoring syrup than what’s recommended, so the sodas taste extra good

Oh shit you’re right - I just looked this up and he’s from Brick City (nickname for Newark). For years I’ve thought he was from brick!

As a New Jerseyan, I get it, and also, fuck you. 😘

They don’t call us the Garden State for nothing. Northwest New Jersey is beautiful, very rural with loads of outdoors activities along the Delaware. Central Jersey has Princeton, which along with the gorgeous campus has a super beautiful downtown. There are farmstands with fresh Jersey tomatoes, corn, and peaches all over the place, and we have a bunch of nice wineries!We also have the Pine Barrens (home of the Jersey Devil!) which are beautiful. And despite that stupid MTV show*, the shore is not just loads of drunken assholes. It has tons of boardwalk stuff to do, and the beaches with tags are usually pretty nice. Plus we have Atlantic City!

*(Side note: the cast of Jersey Shore are fucking bennies from New York, they’re not even from NJ.)

When people shit on New Jersey, they’re thinking of Camden (Philly’s fault), Newark (NYC’s fault) and possibly Brick (which is where Redman comes from and which I’m told has improved quite a bit, though I can’t really say as I haven’t been in a while) (nevermind). There are definitely ugly industrial areas of NJ, but that’s not the entirety of the state.

Come visit. Have a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Bike down the boardwalk. Spend a day at Great Adventure. Check out Lambertville (and New Hope!). Go tubing down the Delaware. And then when you hear someone bash NJ in the future, you’ll be able to defend us ;)

Jesus christ, this story gets more horrific by the day.

Three Dog Night ;)

What a fucking twat.

That bunion is gnarly

I remember learning about bouba/kiki in grade 1… until today, I assumed all kids did!

Oh man. In undergrad I had a Thermodynamics professor who used the DRAFT VERSION of his textbook to teach with. It was completely unedited and he expected us to catch any errors. He was also like 80 years old, doddering, hard of hearing, forgetful, didn’t give us a syllabus until halfway through the semester… It’s the only class in undergrad that I got less than a B in. Years later I still resent him lol

My eyelashes are long and they transport oil from my eyelids directly onto the inside of my glasses lenses. It’s not a lot but enough to be annoying. I always have these wispy little vertical streaks on my lenses.

She secretly likes it

They even get daily bread shipments from East Coast

I’m betting Amoroso rolls

What kind of fucking psycho wants swiss on their cheesesteak?

Lightly toasted potato bread, mayonnaise, salted Jersey tomatoes, fresh dill. ❤️

Burn motherfucker, burn

Great, so instead of Joe the Plumber we get Joe the Crypto Bro. Cool, cool.

We are all just prisoners here
