Some companies put a little bit of salt in their water.
Random things you think are weird

I think DQ is now teamed up with Orange Julius, a place that has great Hot Dogs, especially Chili Dogs.Last time I checked, Harvey's (a Canadian fast-food chain) still sold hot dogs. I think Dairy Queen does too - now that's weird. DQ should sell nothing but ice cream, IMO. They're not called "Food Queen", after all.)
That's weird. There was nothing lower class than McDonald's when it first started-- some would say still.
Now I want a hot dog and it's 1:30 AM.

I usually eat hotdogs for breakfast.
i eat green berets for breakfast, and right now, i'm hungry...
But do you prefer to chew out the young recruits first?Now I want a hot dog and it's 1:30 AM.

I've always thought it was weird that the big fast-food chains don't sell Hot Dogs. They started out selling nothing but Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, Fries and Coke-- but not Hot Dogs. Over the years, they've added salads and breakfast and Chicken Sandwiches and desserts and a bunch of other stuff. But never Hot Dogs. Hot Dogs go hand in hand with Hamburgers. I don't get it.

There's New York Fries, too. They actually tend to have pretty decent hot dogs.
Still, if I'm going to get a hot dog, it'll be from a hot dog cart. They're the best way to have 'em, IMO. Cheap, and grilled right in front of you with tons of toppings.

Mustard, Ketchup, Onions, Pickle relish is my favorite, I also like to add lettuce, tomato and sauerkraut. That is one awesome hot dog right there, I promise you that.

Doors. You can push a door by just putting your hand on it and moving your hand away from you, but you can't pull a door by putting your hand on it and moving your hand toward you. You have to have a handle or knob, which basically gives you a surface where you can put your hand on the far side and push it toward you.
And thinking about why that happens; it's because of the physics of matter. Your hand, and the door, are both made of atoms, which are nuclei with a cloud of electrons around them. The electrons in your hand and the electrons in the door come close and repel each other, and that repulsive force allows you to push the door. But there's no attractive force that would allow you to directly pull the door, since the positive nuclei are farther away. So you need the handle or knob to push on with the repulsive force.
So thinking about a simple everyday door leads to a microscopic realm of charged particles.

Mustard, cheese, BBQ sauce, onions and hot peppers for me. It doesn't make sense, but it ends up tasting good somehow!

Yeah, but smaller "burgerless" Dairy Queen outlets do most of their business during warmer months and thus are closed for 6 months. There's a locally owned DQ knock-off place that's the same way in a small town near me. They close in september. I was bummed out last year because I wanted a banana shake only to find they were done for the season.
When I lived in the south, there were no seasonal DQ's. They were all regular ones where you could get burgers, etc, too.
I think its weird that moths come out at night but then fly straight for the nearest point of light.
Also most people think owls are clever yet in reality they are think as shite

Those were the glory days. Now people just run tests in SPSS.
Blame Shakespeare and the play which must never be named.
It's almost solely down to his calling the witches "The Weird Sisters" that weird became a word for strange rather than fate. I suspect he used Weird to mean Fate, to create a link with the Three Fates from Greek myth.
Moderators here sometimes talk about "handing out infractions".
To "hand out an infraction" suggests you're giving posters a punishable violation of the rules, which makes no sense.
It makes better sense to hand out "warnings for an infraction of the rules" or to say that someone's actions constitute an "infraction for [insert rule violation here]" which warrants a warning.
Just saying.

I believe that Wyrd was the Old Nordic word for chains of consequent events. The understanding being that threads of causality were entangled with other threads of causality, which makes the future too complex to predict through logical processes. They saw this as strangeness, or "wyrdness", that reasoning could not effectively penetrate the fog of time. They felt that intuition was more trusted, along with all the superstitions and mythologies, etc.
Our usage of the word now is a metaphor of that.
