One that comes to mind for me: "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

Thank you for picking a gif that implies the thing I dislike but doesn't actually depict it. You rock 🙃
Cut a croissant in half. On the bottom half, spread out a healthy serving of a good chicken salad. Sprinkle a tiny bit of red pepper powder for a kick (optional but recommended). Put two slices of cheese on top of this. Put this in a toaster oven, preferably heat from above. Take it out when the cheese is melted. Replace the top croissant half and press down a bit so everything doesn't fall out when you take a bite. Enjoy the best start to your day.
Jokes on them, listening isn't my torture. It's seeing people eat with their mouth open and especially bits falling out while chewing. Yuck
What is this referring to? There's at least 10 posts about smoking stuff - what does this mean? 🤔
So are they saying they're trying to crash this simulation once and for all??
Yeah but the OP question isn't asking what you would do, but rather what you'd change. If the question was about what people would do, half these answers have a lot of explaining to do.
Men were long crafters, and women long hunters.

When was a time you consented to spoilers for a movie/tv/story/game and you regretted it?
(lemmy.world)
BEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL POTENTIALLY BE ALL KINDS OF SPOILERS BELOW IF THEY ARE NOT HIDDEN By participating, you are consenting to spoilers you might come to regret :)
There's a spoiler-hiding button on Lemmy but since this discussion is about spoilers, I'm not sure how useful it will be.
Does any time in your memory particularly stand out as a truly regrettable spoiler?
examples:
- warned of a Spoiler Alert while scrolling on YT comments or threads, but clicked anyway. You regretted it.
- watched weekly-released shows with friends and you weren't caught up but needed to know what happened before you watched it, and you regretted it.
- haven't seen the movie, thought you weren't going to, you spoiled it for yourself by finding out the plot, and came around to watching the movie and thought to yourself "It would've hit better if I didn't know before hand".
- podcaster gave a spoiler alert, you proceeded to ignore it, you regretted ignoring it.
It's such a specific feeling of regret, so I am curious how others' experiences were and how they compare.
For me,
spoiler
I keep spoiling myself with the show Bleach, reading into the lore and finding out info before actually chronologically watching it (TV)/ reading it in the manga. I come to regret it when I didn't experience the creator's (Tite Kubo) work myself first, then follow up with reading into it for background info. In the earlier part of the series I didn't spoil myself and I feel it was a richer experience because of it.
Also sometimes I listen to "Get Played" which is a podcast about gaming, where they frequently enter "spoiler country" and I love to hear them talk so I get my cowboy hat on and follow them in. I regret it only part of the time.
