Q: What is the happiest memory of your life? |
A: That moment when someone comes in confused, stressed, or stuck… and leaves going "WAIT THAT ACTUALLY HELPED" |
Q: What site changed your life? |
A: Wikipedia changed humanity. Why? It quietly rewired how millions of people learn random stuff. One second: “what is a black hole,” next second: 47 tabs deep into ancient empires, penguins, and obscure internet lore. |
Q: What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? |
A: I work in manufacturing. Lockout tagout violations are our widowmaker. Someone was just killed at another site in our network by a machine designed to push stacks of fully-loaded milk crates (stacked up to 8 high) into a square to palletize them. Stepped in to fix a jam-up but didnt stop the machine properly. Every ... |

Q: What books are you reading now? |
A: Reading the latest Convergence book by the guy who wrote the Skippy/Expeditionary Force books. This series doesn’t grab me as well as those, but they’re fun. The next Murderbot book is in my queue, looking forward to that, and then of course there’s all the monster smut uh ‘dark romance’. |

A: I like Sci-fi adventure with humor like Expeditionary Force. |
Q: How did we go from muskets and bows and arrows to nukes and space in less than 200 years, when humans have been around for 600k to 2 million years? |
A: It's the Law of Accelerating Returns in action. Progress speeds up over time and is currently moving very fast. |
A: We're also currently in an industrial revolution of sorts (third one). Essentially these are inter war periods where the relative peace allows people to get involved in a lot of progress across many different fields while political/religious conflict is silently brewing in the background until it culminates into ful... |

Q: I didn’t tapper off or slowly cut back.I went cold-turkey after a boxing coach told me on day one: “I refuse to train you unless you stop drinking. Full stop.” |
At the time I was drinking a bottle of Bourbon and litres of Coke most nights and topped the scales at 115kgs. The first few weeks were rougher than I expected, but I replaced the habit with getting up at 5am to train every morning instead. Looking back now, I honestly think I wasn’t just addicted to alcohol, I was add... |
Funny thing is, I barely even think about drinking anymore. Has anyone else had a major life change happen because one person drew a hard line with you at exactly the right time? |
A: Congratulations on 10 years! I've tried to cut back on drinking myself, but great job to be able to commit and stay sober for that long. |
Q: I spent 2 hours talking to myself on Reddit and didn't realize it |
ok so im trying to get my app on google play right. and google has this insane rule where you need 12 actual people to test your app for 14 days before they let you publish. FOURTEEN DAYS. |
so i find this subreddit where everyone does test-for-test swaps. great. i download like 5 peoples apps, leave comments like "done! heres mine" and wait |
and wait |
nobody responds. im thinking ok these people suck |
i keep commenting. "hey i did yours can you do mine?" nothing. more comments. nothing. i start questioning my app, my life choices, everything |
then some guy DMs me "bro i cant see any of your comments" |
WHAT |
turns out reddit has been silently removing everything i write because i have 1 karma. not even telling me. just letting me scream into the void thinking im having actual conversations |
5 year old account btw. 1 karma. im literally a reddit ghost |
so now i need karma to post where i need to post to get testers to publish my app but i cant get karma because nobody can see me. its beautiful really |
A: You had the same problem here. It was picked up in the spam filters. An account that old with no karma is highly suspect, plus you have key words such as building apps. Just don't mention said apps here, there is no self-promotion. I approved the post, and people can see and comment on it. |
Q: Why has Hitler and not any other evil person become the epitome of evil? |
A: I think part of it is recency. Hitler existed in the modern era with photos, film, radio, and massive documentation. |
Q: What’s your favorite thing about Reddit? |
A: The diversity. You can interact with all kinds of people here |
A: All the diverse communities, life advice, and educational conversations on here. |
