Friends are like bananas.

If you peel their skin and eat them, they die.

Shoot. There goes my plan for the day.

You can say that for most things.

"In-laws are like dogs. Both with probably die if you shoot them with a gun."

See? It's easy.

[Edema Rue]

And there goes my other plan for the day!

[Morningtide]

Sorry if this is already done I don't want to go back through and read everything

Why do we call it a pair of pants?!? A pair of socks makes sense because they are two separate articles of clothing, but a pair of pants? And we never use the singular form. We don't say "I have one pant on my left leg and one pant on my right leg. It's just a pair of pants!!

And that’s when I tell myself not to think too hard about it.

Why does english break it's own rules so much? It's like it makes the rules just so that it can break them.

[Morningtide]

very true. like the -er and -est endings. The rule is that you add those if it ends in y or is one syllable long. And yet funner and funnest are not words *shakes head in disappointment at the entire language*

[Edema Rue]

Yes. It’s annoying. But…Shakespeare. Beautiful English does exist, contrary to popular belief. 

[Morningtide]

This is true

String theory.

My brain doesn't work anymore.

One day, one of your parents will pick you up, put you down, then never pick you up again. Also, the same thing will happen when someone says your name meaning you. How sad, if you really think about it. Eventually we'll all be dead and forgotten. But that's why we don't think about it!

Courtesy of my brother: what's the difference between a rainfall and a waterfall?

[Edema Rue]

Pollution.

Would an eleven fingered pianist be really good, or would they have trouble because their fingers wouldn't line up with the traditional way of playing?

[Edema Rue]

Um...they would need to choose? They'd have to be very independent, maybe even write their own pieces, but if they worked for it they'd be really good.

Because it uses French spelling with German grammar, with a bit of Latin mixed in, and then it has been left to simmer for hundreds of years.

I can still remember the first time I heard that. I straight up paniced, and now everytime I think about that, I spy on that particular moment. Hundreds of Frustrations are watching that moment.

If the internet is a web, does that make us all spiders?

Or are we the insects trapped in the web?

[EmulatonStromenkiin]

Depends, how addicted are you to the internet?

I sometimes do complicated math problems in the shower.

Also courtesy of that same brother:

Why is it that it's considered rude to release gas that would otherwise cause deadly intestinal ruptures, but we bless people when they spew out bacteria and viruses from their noses?

Monty Python are basically the Beatles of British comedy, aren't they? A lot of younger people (myself included) don't really get them, but they were massively popular and invented/perfected a lot of the tropes used in modern works. Like them or not you can't deny the influence they had on the genre.

Blink is the plural of wink

Nothing is on fire, fire is on stuff.

Theoretically, schoolchildren on Roshar might only memorize their times tables up to ten, while on Scadrial they might have to memorize it all the way to 16.
