(when) I buy gloves I get 2, because they come in pairs:
LOL. They meant 2 boxes (2 gloves each box). Because a guy baching needs two pairs of latex gloves to wear, don't you know?

Look at what I did, is there a for it?

If people got a every time Discourse behaved like Discourse, there would be more of those than Good Post and Nice Post combined.

When I saw that quoting a post, that technically did not exist, worked, I hoped it would go all recursive on me. My disappointment was mitigated by Discourse's decision that my post had a reply. Note: My avatar did not appear until a second or two after I had posted and the "1 reply" when I editing the post to say it worked.
I still want a kbd HTML for my efforts though, especially if this is the first instance of this
I might try again, but with a non-existent post number

baching
TIL.
It has nothing to do with Johann Sebastian or his relatives, for those wondering.

Perhaps we should ask what "baching" means?

I believe it's been tried before and it works once the post is created.

Does UD onebox? It doesn't, so:
Picking up members of the opposite sex when your significant other is out of town; short for bachelor; behaving as a bachelor when you are not actually one.

Yeesh buncha youngsters still in their nappies don't know nuthin...don't even know how to use a dictionary...yeesh!
baching intr. v. idiom To live alone and keep house as a bachelor.

Sorta what I would have predicted, at least it would be deterministic behaviour.

Umm, I did subsequently Google it, and yes your definition is there, right under @zecc Urban Dictionary result. I want to state now (to avoid any issue later) that I am not one of those people that rate the importance and rightness of stuff according to it's Google "ranking". That said: I can understand that under some circumstances, latex gloves would be needed when picking up members of the opposite sex.
:)

It doesn't, so:
I don't think anybody would want any link to Urban Dictionary to be "trusted"

I bet you also buy two glasses
Yep. I have several pairs of glasses, I also have sets of glasses.
live in sets
Why would you buy two trousers in a package
Under some circumstances there would be an expectation (not from me, I hasten to add) of a package between two trousers

Citation Please!
Only kidding. Unless, of course, it could be proved I had not read it. But then I would have to read it to see if I had not read it.
Oh Wot!

Well, maybe. As a (previous) supplier of e-commerce websites, stupid mistakes like that in the OP do annoy me. As they are stupidly obvious and can only harm the "trust" of the organisation behind the website. And when / if it is found out it is a PHP website, I tend to take the criticism personally.
As for "let the others join the conversation" Mr Fucking Discourse, perhaps you should be a little more aware of the nature of the environment we / you are in. It's not as if we are all sitting around a physical table having a chat or meeting.
That reminds me: Talking is old tech, perhaps we should retire that?

Why did they define metric using such an arbitrary starting point, anyway?
It was based on an attempt to measure the earth, specifically the distance from the north pole to the equator along the meridian of Paris (and they got it a bit wrong). From there, they derived the litre as being a thousandth of a cubic metre and a gramme as being a thousandth of the mass of a litre of water. With errors in both cases. (The original changes to time measurement just didn't stick AIUI, in part because it wasn't until quite a bit later in the 19th century that accurate time became important.)
The definitions have been refined a lot since then.

CIVILISED DISCOURSE ONLY WORKS THE WAY KING JEFF DICTATES. ALL PEOPLE MUST COMMUNICATE THIS WAY.

I do, actually, because that's how my optometrist works.
