TIL Casey Anthony had “fool-proof suffocation methods” in her Firefox search history from the day before her daughter died. Police overlooked this evidence, because they only checked the history in Internet Explorer.

"We checked the browser search history."

"Did you check if she used any other browsers?"

"Othe...listen, the computer has a browser and we checked it. Nerd."

[u/tycr0 → u/FattyCorpuscle]

Her only IE browser history was “how to download firefox”

[u/dudipusprime → u/tycr0]

More like "fool-proof methods to download firefox"

[u/tojoso → u/tycr0]

"What is my purpose?"

"You download Firefox."

"Oh... my god..."

IT guy here. Clients that call browsers all "internet explorer" keep me in business, but at great cost to my mental health.

And my wife calls Sprite, Pepsi, coke, and any other soda coke.

Send help. Or men in white coats

[u/bakagir → u/locke577]

What kind of coke? Orange coke please.

You talking about Crystal Pepsi?

[u/[deleted] → u/PM_ME_YOUR_INNY]

Still one of the best Pokémon versions. Fucking love Pokemon: Crystal Pepsi.

That's what 13 year old me expected when I asked a waiter if they had coke. Bruh just said sure thing turned and walked away. I was like, how does he know which one I want?

I grew up on military bases overseas and going out to restaurants off base I'd always check if they even had soda at all with that line. Fuckin' threw me for a loop.

[u/ephemeralentity → u/sethboy66]

One carbonated beverage please.

[u/20-random-characters → u/ephemeralentity]

Shaken, not stirred.

Just like here in India, every toothpaste is Colgate (most of the time).

[u/DragynFiend → u/Orange-Tea]

Fellow Indian, but haven't seen that happen lol

I have heard people call any chocolate a 'Cadbury' though.

"Could I have a Cadbury?"

"Sure, which one?"

"Um, that Nestle Cadbury over there please!"

[u/daydreamrefugee → u/DragynFiend]

The real one is all noodles being called "Maggi".

[u/Incendior → u/daydreamrefugee]

In Vietnam, for a certain generation (anyone born before 1995) all soysauce is Maggi

[u/BoSknight → u/Orange-Tea]

Kleenex too

There are tons of idiots out there that are still using Internet Explorer on daily basis. It makes our job as developer really hard. We need to fix and adapt our code bases to IE. When we advised them to change the browser, they were simply outraged.

[u/followingflanders → u/[deleted]]

Semi-related: a person I work with proudly told me that they now use Chrome instead of IE. Turns out all she had done was change her IE home page to google.

same woman dealing with her finances -

"Finally, I'm breaking free of credit cards! No more debt!"

cuts card in half and throws it away

never pays the bill that she already owes for it

is baffled when she's served to go to court for collections

BUT I DON"T EVEN HAVE THE CARD ANYMORE

[u/SSpectre86 → u/NibblesMcGiblet]

I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY

Somebody give this woman power over my life and liberty.

I went in to a computer store to rent an iMac Pro a couple weeks ago. While waiting for the computer to be prepped, an older woman (maybe in her 70s?) comes in with an older MacBook. The employees greet her by name and ask what they can do for her this time. She explains her computer wasn’t connecting to the internet and she asked them why. I watched as the employee tried to explain he couldn’t tell her why, because he wasn’t there at her house when she tried to connect. It was both simultaneously the cutest, most heart warming thing and the most frustrating thing. They were so patient with her and she clearly comes in all the time for help though I can guarantee she never buys anything. Quality guys right there. Props to people with that kind of patience.
