What was the embarassing moment of your life that turned out positive?
It’s friday, so lets try to end the week in a positive note with a laugh....
A large local gas chain offers $10 off when you sign up for their app. Is there any legal trouble when spinning up new accounts to claim it over and over again?
Basically as the title says. A local gas station chain has released a new app. They give you a one time $10 off your purchase of any purchase over $10 promo coupon....
Clock and time HTML for wordpress?
Ho everybody,...
You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?
You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
What do you miss the most from the 90s?

What do you think of Just Stop Oil?
My Views: I would love it if Solar, Hydro and Wind and other renewable sources of energy + Non Renewable Nuclear were to provide enough energy reliably to completely replace fossil fuels, but I know it’s not a feasible solution at least at this point. And maybe it will never be. Renewable sources of energy are highly dependent...

Do you think that Trump will win the 2024 election?
Do you face stigma (or discrimination) in your family due to a mental illness that you have or that someone you love has?
And if you’ve made strides in reversing that stigma, how have you done so?
I’m looking for a web comic
The two-panel comic I’m looking for describes how the level of care parents give plummets after the first child. The dialog goes something like this:...
Are we seriously calling medicinal cannabis "plant medicine" now and trying to hide what it actually is?
Saw an ad on YouTube for this service saying something like “if you’ve experienced chronic pain for a long time with no improvement, “plant medicine” might be right for you.”. So I checked it out. The website continually says “plant medicine” and doesn’t specify at all wtf that actually means. Until I saw wording...
What podcasts did you listen to the most this year
Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha....
What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
is there a limit to the point that i will find women attractive?
Context, I’m 30 now and i will find women my age and up attractive, but 15 years ago a 35 year old women would never have been attractive to me....
What are some physics-based arguments against hard determinism?
I don’t believe free will is real. I’m not a deep physics person (and relatively bad at math), but with my undergrad understanding of chemistry, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism, it seems most rational that we are creatures entirely controlled by our environments and what we ingest and inhale....
How far back in time can a modern computer be reversed engineered
Another post regarding time travel got me wondering how far back in time can I hypothetically leave a modern computer where they, the most capable engineers of their time, can then somewhat reverse engineer it or even partially?
In the USA, can you lose your home even after it is 100% paid off?
Let’s say that you buy a home in cash and have 100% paid off. Could you still lose it somehow?
Do you like or dislike people in general? Why?
Think about how you have treated both strangers and people you know to answer this question accurately. e.g.: If you say you like people but constantly avoid talking or doing any activity with other people do you actually like people?

I apologize in advance if posts like this are not welcome here....
How do I get rid of burnt smells?
Hey folks! Just microwaved my heat pad a little too long and the cherry pits ended up burning slightly. It was only a small portion of the bag but the smell is stuck to me and taking over the house! Any idea how to tame it?...
Do you have a favorite filmmaker or movie that's not widely recognized in mainstream cinema?
This may seem kind of stupid but I am kind of stupid, is there a list somewhere of phrases that are stupid or insensitive racially or gender biased?
I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say....
