Genuinely only realizing this now0·6 days agoI learned recently that your can cut the two vertices that form the base of triangle watermelon slices as you cut the watermelon to make all the damn slices easier to eat, so they don’t collide with your cheeks.

They’re obsessed with chasing aesthetics of wealth (tanning their skin) but are also too arrogant to reconsider their values in light of all the new knowledge we’ve discovered (using sunscreen).
