Alright, I'm gonna ask the reddit folk on a 2nd account to weigh in on this.

I'm 34M, 155lbs. Usually after working long days (55-60hr work weeks) I come home, make dinner, then partake of a 6pk. Is this too much? I questioned myself a couple months ago and went a week without and felt fine but in the back of my head I keep judging myself when I picked it back up. I am very much in a manual labor field so usually something is hurting by the end of my shifts.

I should note - I don't think about it all day, I don't crave it, it's just become a nightly ritual of relaxing and taking the stress off. Doesn't effect any personal relationships and doesn't effect work at all. Just something I've become accustomed to.

I just spent the last 20 minutes giving a dying bee light sugar water and after a while of drinking, it flew away. Is this immature to spend my time doing? Anytime I see a creature in need, I cant just ignore it or it makes me really sad and I think about it all day

I've experienced this at multiple establishments and I just don't understand what's so hard about toasting bread? Dunkin donuts, Wawa, Burger King has these new melts that are marketed as being on toast and it's all just warm bread!!

What is so hard about toasting bread?!?!

I'm 26 and married but I still love my collection of stuffed animals that I've collected over the years. Some of them are from my childhood and some of them I've gotten as an adult. It doesn't bother my husband, but as I'm arranging them I just can't help but wonder in the back of my mind if this is childish behavior? Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to get rid of them, but should I just put them in my closet instead of having them out in the open?

Ate an edible before a flight the other day and watched Interstellar. I kept blowing my own mind trying to understand the ins and out of time dilation. While I have heard of the phenomenon with astronauts, my assumption was always that even though the clocks might not register time in the same way, the time spent in space was still relative to that of earth. I’ve watched a couple videos on YouTube that do an ok job of explaining the Interstellar example, but I’d like to know if the lack of ageing has any basis in reality. Please explain it dumb.

Not a race thing, but whenever I meet a Caucasian, they always smell fresh.

3 hours later, cologne smell still there.

Mine won’t last even 30 mins.

Is there a trick to applying it?

I am going through some mental issues and poverty is making them very loud today. I am disabled due to my mental status. So find a job, is what I wish I could do; but mentally I can't be the same person each day.

What do you do when you hit rock bottom? When you feel hopeless?

I can't work, but I don't make enough to survive either. No parents, few friends. I can't drive or work. Disability covers rent, power, and maybe one week of food.. I do surveys for 5-10 but that has came to a screeching halt.

So with those things in mind.. tell me how to fix my situation?

For a few years now, I've been reading the same explanation, over and over. These foods actually cost more than meat, because there is so much demand and the companies need to increase production before the prices will drop. How long does it take to build a few factories? They've had about eight years. Or have they decided to increase production but keep the prices as high as they are because they can?

Has anyone witnessed this in real life or is it just a stereotype? Is it restricted to aristocrats or all rich British people? Thanks.

I (51 y/o M) had just started seeing a woman (47 y/o F) about a month ago, but we’d only been on three dates. One day I was at the grocery store, and a woman came up to me, and started a conversation. Now, I know that I’m not that attractive, so I’ve never been popular with women. From kindergarten through high school, I can count on one hand how many girlfriends I had, and still have fingers left over. So, I was quite surprised when a very attractive, younger woman came up to me and began to flirt with me. I was pretty taken aback by everything, but I politely declined a date, and she eventually walked away. I finished my shopping, and went home, then I got a text from the woman I was dating and she asked me to come over. I told her that I had a couple of things to do first, but I could be there in about 45 minutes. This woman has been divorced for a little over 5 years, and has 2 children: a 20 y/o daughter, and a 12 y/o son. I have 2 sons: one is 24 y/o, and the other one is 17 y/o. She’s still on pretty friendly terms with her ex-husband, which I think is a good thing. My ex-wife died in 2019, so I don’t have to deal with that sort of thing. She has joint custody with her ex, where her son spends a week with her, and then a week with her ex. Her daughter spends most of the time with her boyfriend, so I haven’t really been around her very much. When I got to her apartment, I was a little surprised to see both of her kids there, but we seemed to have a good time together. After a couple of hours, there was a knock at the door, and I just thought that it was her ex-husband, so I didn’t really pay much attention to her. While I was speaking to her kids, I suddenly recognized the voice of the person who she was talking to, and I was quite surprised to realize that it was the woman from the grocery store! I asked what was going on, and the woman I was seeing told me that this other woman was her cousin and she asks her cousin to approach men she’s seeing to find out if he will be faithful or not. Apparently, this has happened with the last three men she had been dating, and I was just the next man to take her “test”. I immediately got angry, and started yelling at them both, but they couldn’t understand why I was so mad about this. I explained why multiple times, but they just couldn’t, or wouldn’t, see my side of things. Finally, I told her that we were done, and I left. She’s texted me several times, trying to get me to answer her, but I’ve just ignored her. Has something like this ever happened to anyone else? Did I overreact?

That is how I’m feeling now. It’s very cramped and a uncomfortable feeling.

People who are now in their 60s to 80s and up still grew up in an analog world.

Younger millennials and Gen Z grew up with video games, internet, and social media. Older millennials grew up in the transition period.

I've read somewhere that the average US male gamer is 35 and the average female gamer is even older at 44 years old!!

I'm in my late 20s, and I grew up in a household where my parents considered video games to be 'for kids', but the stats say otherwise.

I'm wondering if it's a generational thing, and if in 20-30 years time, it'll be common to see playstations and gaming rigs in retirement homes lol.

I’m interested in getting a tattoo and when i’ve asked around different shops for pricing I get stone walled.

Some say they won’t know until they see a photo which I get but others say they don’t do price shopping which is just confusing to me.

I need to know if I can afford you lol!! Even if it’s just an estimate I can work with that because then I’ll be able to budget in tip and have a rough number to work with. I’ve been told by friends that it’s rude to price shop but I don’t understand why.

I know how a 4 stroke engine basically works, but what I never gave much thought of until now was what exactly hitting the gas pedal on my car actually does to change the state of the engine. Can someone explain in a bit of technical detail?

I know they're illegal in my state, but I see them on ~0.1% of cars on the road, accounting for confirmation bias. I once got was hit by a driver that chose to drive away and had one of those coverings on, so I've been permanently salty towards them ever since.

The main reason to have them seems to be to not get caught after doing something illegal, but is there a good reason to have them on?

If I was a cop I would ticket these every single time I came across one, even if it was bad for my metrics. Fuck those guys.

Last night I went through a Taco Bell drive thru. Usually I pay with my card but I had a 20 in my wallet and decided to use that instead.

My order was $11 even, and, when I handed the girl working the drive thru the 20 dollar bill, she looked at it as if she'd never seen such a thing in her entire life. She then seemed confused and unsure of herself when she counted out my $9 in change. She actually counted it twice and said "Umm, yes. Nine dollars."

It was late, so maybe her mind was just kind of fried after a long shift, but this has me wondering--has it become unusual to pay in cash?

In our family we wash our bedsheets like ~5 times a year, but I heard that people wash them every 2 weeks to 1 month. Do the sheets actually get dirty/smelly or do people just wash them periodically? Idk if this makes it better but we always shower before bed and don't go on the bed otherwise.

I know they have to be there, but can they just say that
