What things are both the best and the worst at the same time? (infosec.pub)

NSFW 49 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I had a discussion with a friend recently and during that discussion, one comment was "Fitted sheets are really both the best and the worst", of course referencing them as awesome when put on a mattress and the worst when you're trying to fold them.

What else do we have that would qualify for being awesome, but also the worst in a different context?

Pooping: one the one hand it feels pretty great. The sensation itself is nice as well as the relief. On the other hand, now you’ve got poop on your butthole that’s got to go.

Still, in a perfect world pooping wouldn’t require any cleanup.

Gotta eat oatmeal and stop using dairy products.

[–] SandLight@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, but are you really even living at that point?

Yes, actually! You gotta see that from the other end. A life where the stomach and intestines are at rest and don’t complain continuously is a good one.

The way I make my oatmeal, it could be considered a dairy product

I never poop on either of my hands.

The almost-but-not-quite-empty toothpaste tube issue strikes again

[–] WTFisthisOMGreally@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What?

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ever had an almost empty toothpaste tube that you just couldn't empty entirely and maybe some leaks out later?

Edit: they call it swamp-aste apparently
