Did my culture just get appropriated?  (not mad, just confused)  I'm not even sure, because yee haw is more of a Texan thing.  And corn farming is much more of an Iowan/midwestern thing.  But yall and reckon are generic southern things.  But add a barbecued pig with vinegar sauce, tea (understood as ice cold sweet tea), and some sweet potatoes and that video would be pretty accurate to rural NC.

Also, it's a rule that any folksy analogy is acceptable so long as it vaguely makes logical sense, so her analogy of being "happier than a cat in a barn full of yarn" would be acceptable.

Is "hot water" the same thing as "fire water"?

No, she literally means boiled water.  "LOL so random" type humor.

When I was a kid, we watched that show religiously  - the foster parents for the laughs, me for the gorgeous babes! 😍

I think she just means room temperature. I've had customers ask me for "hot water" before, and they just mean water that isn't refrigerated.

I just googled, and found out that the checkerboard worm lizard has no legs. So why isn't it a snake?

There are reptiles without legs that aren't snakes.

Lots of them actually. Legless lizards have evolved in something like 17 different lineages.

Vestigial legs? Enquiring minds want to know.

Depends on the genus. A few species of glass lizards have retained the remnants of vestigial hindlimbs, but most have lost them entirely.

This shit genuinely pisses me off. Also, if everything is going online these days, why is traffic getting WORSE?

Growing population + driving alone + stroads = serious traffic problems

Yes, more stuff can be done online, but that just makes it so people can cram more stuff into an afternoon!  Also, a lot of the stuff doesn't obviate (thanks, word-a-day calendar!) the need to go in person.  Yes, you can order Walmart stuff online...and then pick it up at Walmart.  Yes, you can order prescriptions online...and then pick it up at the pharmacy.  The debit card example is one of the few things that you normally don't need to go to the bank for.

And yes, the appification of all electronics is horrendous and unnecessary and really helps out the marketing team, which is the actual main reason for it.  Same with invasive ads and trackers and all sorts of privacy-violating stuff.  There are ways to combat this stuff - hinthintadnauseum - if you don't don't take advantage of this stuff, advertisers will take advantage of you.  So, pick your poison.  Get gud at fighting invasive advertising or languish under it.

As for car music in particular, I have a thumb drive with every song I've ever liked on it and I listen to that.  On shuffle.  On repeat.  Until the sun becomes a white dwarf and the Earth is either annihilated in fire or flung off its orbit into icy black abyss.  Until the last black hole radiates its last speck of radiation.  Until America has universal healthcare, I will be listening to good stuff I like ad-free subject to neither the whim of radio stations and their insipid banter nor spotty internet streaming.  I am a city upon a hill and that city was built on rock and roll, dammit.
