to have only just found out that....

[spacepyramid]

....when you buy a sandwich in a shop you are getting the halves of two different sandwiches because they are made, put in a pile and sliced in half. I eat my two halves and somebody else is eating the other two halves.

I need to get a life don't i?

What silly things have you never realised?

Another thing I didn't realise until this year was that the twit-twoo sound of an owl is from two birds. The "twit" is from the female and the "twoo" is the male calling back to her.

I found that out a few years ago. Where DP lived before he moved in with me, there were a lot of owls in the area. I used to listen to them twit-twooing to each other and found it really charming.

That jays are just magpies in brighter clothes.

I've always liked jays, but think magpies are nasty, aggressive birds, so I feel really conflicted now.

🤯

I always feel a bit sick when i think about all the people who have touched my food before me. That video did not help!

Am I missing something? In the sandwich video it the whole sandwich that's packed together, not 2 different halves

Btw did you know that when foxes mate, they scream which sound like a woman being murdered? It is chilling, when we first moved in, we were scared stiff.

Yup happens in the woods behind us all the time. Lived here for 20 years and still have to have a good hard listen to figure out whether it's a woman or child screaming.

"Male cows" is an oxymoron (at the very least). More like an impossibility. Many species have the female termed a cow, the male a bull and the offspring calf or calves. Like whales and elephants. And cattle.

Sorry. Someone had to say it OP.

Had not noticed about the sandwiches, I am too keen to get outside a sandwich to notice

Yes to the foxes, we regularly hear them screaming too. Cats sound awful too, we have both in chorus with each other, though not long ago the foxes had the neighbours cats when they were otherwise occupied in the back garden at night.

Male cows I wondered when somebody would pick up on that.

I dare you milk a male cow .

We had a meal out tonight, I got my own dessert all to myself, the others had to have a slice of one that they shared with other people...just imagine, sharing a dessert with 10 other people in a restaurant

MAdambee my favourite scene in a film is Sid the Sloth in one of the Ice Age films, running away from a bull bison screaming "I thought you were a girl!!!" :o:o:o

I should add though that my then young kids were looking at me a bit and wanted me to explain why I exploded with laughter when they didnt get it :o:o

I love how extra the egg sandwich machine is 😂

I'm another one who doesn't get it.
Surely a pile of sandwiches is just cut in half, but the half sandwich it correlated to would still be next to it?

It’s always somewhat disturbed me that my 4 pints of semi-skimmed milk has come from multiple different cows, and it’s all just mixed up together
See this doesn't bother me as I only drink oat or soya milk lol.

Yes but the key isnt in the making of the sandwiches but in the packing. It is far quicker and easier to grab 2 halves that are stacked and pack them than it is to grab the whole sandwich, put the 2 halves together and pack that. From a mass production POV it is more efficient and therefore cheaper. The only reason I dont do this to my kids when making 4 packed lunches is that I couldnt sleep at night if I knew that 2 of them had the arse ends while the other 2 had the lush top ends :o

Any before anyone asks, yes I could keep a note of who got which sandwich ends and make sure they took it in turns, but frankly has anyone got time for that shit?!

Also.....I have spent too long thinking about this....... no matter what you do, the 2 halves of a sandwich will never quite match neatly enough to pack without a hang over somewhere. But 2 top halves do, and 2 arse ends do (assuming the slices are from the same loaf), so it looks neater and therefore more attractive to the customer.

"The only solution to this is - get your own cow smile.

Perfect. Then you can sell it and have a huge house."

So greedy, it's only supposed to be a goat!!!

Umm... I'm having the baguette. This is so mentally huge I can't cope. I love a prawn sarnie...how many shared-yet-divided disembodied prawn souls must there be? Its not on, as if halal wasn't cruelty enough...
