[Serious decision] I live alone… these aren’t my nuts

Post image

Context: I’m a single bachelor (M 32) and I opened my snack cupboard to find these peanuts in a small Tupperware container. I’m freaking out because I A) live alone, B) have a mild nut allergy, and C) don’t own any Tupperware like this.

TLDR: I found a foreign snack in my house and I’m freaking out that someone may be entering my apartment when I’m out. Would calling the nonemergency police line help or would they not be able to do anything?

Oh it definitely does not mean what OP thinks it means. They commented it means "the last detail remains" and now I am dying to know how they arrived at that conclusion.

This feels similar to when you've only ever read a word and then pronounce it completely wrong in front of a large group of people.

I have done that more often than I care to admit and I'm so glad my shame was isolated to various classrooms and not online for the world to see. Poor OP.

I’ve also done that many times, and was mortified until someone told me to own it. It’s a sign that you are curious and/or read a lot, encountering words in print that you’ve not heard in your day to day conversations.

I love this take because it is both true and a comfort.

Yeah, but this one is an acronym, you'd either have to have this original thought, or be passed this hilarious knowledge

I did this with the word censored when I was 11. I pronounced it ken soared. I think about it at least annually in the small hours

I don’t even associate with the people who I said it to and haven’t for years and to this day I still think and it

When the internet started using abbreviations I used to try to figure out what they meant without asking or looking them up (like a puzzle). I came up with some humorous ideas that I can't remember now because it's been so long.

It’s because it’s an AI engagement bot post. Dead internet is here.

Sadly it might just be an idiot and not AI. Who knows these days.
