Reply to LPT - Write your shooping list in the same order as the items are ordered in the supermarket. This way you won't have to go back and forth between the isles. by Nestorthemolestor

I write mine as I write down the meals I plan on making first. It's better organised in my head that way. Also, considering how often stores move their inventory around, your tip doesn't work for long

Reply to LPT: Measure the length of one of your fingers from tip to joint, remember it and always have primitive measuring tape with you. by pheenX

I've gone with the span between my thumb and index finger. Mainly because my friend told me that's a pretty good rough estimate for penis size. A man's penis should be the same size as the span between his thumb and index finger. I'm a woman but apparently my hypothetical dick would be 6 inches long.

Reply to Why can we freeze embryos for IVF but not adult humans? What makes it possible for embryos? by Nimynn

Put simply, because an embryo is very very small so it's easy to freeze it quickly. Freezing quickly is vital in living things we wish to keep living because ice that forms slowly creates big crystals that tear apart cells. Defrosting cells that have been torn apart by ice gets you something very dead. Try it with a cucumber in the freezer, you'll get a very floppy cucumber. Small enough things can be flash frozen and be fine because small things can have every part frozen quickly enough that no cells get damaged in the process. Adult humans though are very big, flash freezing a person would at best get you a pretty decent skin suit but all the internal organs would be mushy like the frozen cucumber.
