Car owners, please read this and pass it on. If you're ever in a vehicle and you're unable to stop the acceleration, shift into neutral - DO NOT turn the engine off!
I can't believe how many people are suggesting in this thread that Toyota owners simply turn the engine off if their accelerator sticks! **This is advice that could be potentially fatal.** I guess I assumed that this was common knowledge, but if you kill the engine while a vehicle is in motion your power steering a...
Show-me some Pirates! [Missouri]
So how many Pirates do we have in Missouri? Ive been trying to get an idea from checking out the Missouri group on the site, as well as the RL page in the forum, but no luck. I would love to get a meet-up going, but I suppose that first we should see exactly how many scally-wags and wenches we are working with. I li...
What is the most unique human ability that separates us from other animals?
What do you guys think separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom? What can humans do that other animals cannot? I took a "Theory of Human Uniqueness" class at my university. The theory states that the most unique human ability is our elite throwing skill. No other animal can throw an object as well as a human. ...
DAE make their spouse/significant other pop their hard-to-reach bacne (back acne)?
I'm not exactly covered in it, like this guy, but I do get about 1 really good bacne about every third day. It's almost always along my spine right in the middle where it's hard for me to reach. My wife makes such a fuss about what a mess it is, but I know she has a love/hate thing with it - she almost never refuses ...
Does anyone remember these books?
They were children's books that were square with red covers. The series was all fairy tales/fantasy. Dragons, knights, princesses, etc. The illustrations were distinctive, all the people had round noses in a cartoony style. I really loved the books as a child, but can't remember for the life of me the author or the...
"I am a collection of water, calcium and organic molecules called Carl Sagan. You are a collection of almost identical molecules with a different collective label. But is that all?"
"Is there nothing in here but molecules? Some people find this idea somehow demeaning to human dignity. For myself, I find it elevating that our universe permits the evolution of molecular machines as intricate and subtle as we are" - *Cosmos* by Carl Sagan I was reading Cosmos last night and this excerpt made me dog-...
The religious right isn't pro-life, it's anti-sex.
The religious right is not pro-life, it's anti-sex. Anti-sex whenever it is not for siring more children within a heterosexual, preferably religious, wedlock. Anti-sex to the point that HPV vaccines and HIV vaccine research are protested because such advances would only "promote" premarital sex (1). Luckily, healthy s...
Need some advice on how i should handle a situation with my neighbor
So will try to make this as short as possible but it is a bit complex, i am worried about the safety and security of a child and possibly his mother.

What Desktop theme is the best or what is Fight- Club Linux
You have it all. All the cool gadgets that let you stay in contact with your friends even while taking a dump. You have an iPod, an iMac, an iPhone an i'dfuckMyselfIfMyDickWereLongEnough.

Is it possible to boil gasoline without it igniting?
This just crossed my mind for whatever reason. I have no plans on doing so, but it's an interesting question.
Has any attempted to reupholster something?
I have the craftiness to do it but not the tools. Buying the tools could offset the savings and maybe I should just pay someone to do it. Does anyone have experience? FYI, a good site for supplies:

Bun B - 'No Mixtape' (2010)
After a short hiatus from the game Bun B started off 2010, or screwthousand and ten as all rappers from Texas say, rippin' and rhymin' like he never left. The new year added a few new leaks, then Bun released a brand new mixtape available above, and he sounds like the youngster we all fell in love with (if you are o...
Reddit, how do I learn to build a website?
My father needs a website for his business, and while he currently lacks the funds to hire a professional, I am both computer literate and in possession of a great amount of free time. Sadly, I've never learned how to build/design a website, so here I am. Advice, links, guides and tutorials would be greatly appreciat...
Has a book ever completely changed your mind on a given subject? If so, what and how? If not, do you think one ever could?
We often speak of thought-provoking books, and would like to think of ourselves as open-minded. But how far does this really go? How much of what we read is meant to buttress what we already think or feel? How much of it is rather genuinely undertaken in a bid to challenge ourselves? I'll admit that a lot of what...
DAE get annoyed when you are eating lunch at work - you know, the only free quiet time you have all day - and people pick exactly that time to chit chat with you?
Usually the chit chat is about absolutely nothing, and mostly not anything I care about listening to, but sometimes they have to pick that moment to discuss work stuff too. edit: I should also throw in that I am pregnant, so along with the peace and quiet thing, my food time is really MY TIME lol...they should really ...
DAE HATE it when people sit across from you at a food court?
For example, let's say you're at a section containing 9 tables 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 I'm sitting on the west side of Table 7, there are people at Tables 5 and 6. Someone comes in through the crowd and sits on the east side of table 8, making awkward eye contact while we've got our mouths full. I ...

How do I tell this girl she is fat?
She is in my class and wears way too tight clothes so her flab sorta "pours" out. I think I need to tell her she needs to lose a few pounds if she wants to look good in that outfit. How do I do this in a sensitive way?
Reddit, can anyone help me with a TV/Remote problem? It's driving me crazy.
Well, I have a 26" Westinghouse LCD and in the same room, a 32" Sony Bravia LCD. The Westinghouse LCD remote does stuff to the Sony television, even though I am pointing it 180 degree from it. Some of the buttons do the same thing on both, but others do different things. If I want to turn the volume up on the Westingho...
I'm seeking suggestions for thought experiments which elicit intuitions about property dualism in the philosophy of mind.
I'm teaching an intro to phil. course in which I'm trying to devote each period to a certain philosophical puzzle the attempted resolutions of which highlight our intuitions regarding previously proposed solutions. For example, in the philosophy of mind, I tried to probe students' intuitions about Cartesian Dualism and...
Reddit, what is the most offensive joke that you know?
My girlfriend has a great sense of humor, but it is one of my goals in life to offend her as much as I can with my jokes. However I am running out of material and she is getting tolerant to my mockings and they are not working any longer. Can you help me be overly offensive to her :)?

Dear Zachary - A letter to a Son about his Father
I just watched this after a suggestion from the "what is your most intense movie" thread. I can't seem to find it, though I thought I had it saved. This should not have been labeled intense, but more so depressing. Good god, I wish I had never seen this.
Grammy Awards Censorship... WTF???
So what the hell was up with censoring like half of Eminem's/Lil Wayne's/Drake's song after 11 pm and not giving a shit about Pink's almost full frontal nudity? Is anybody else WTFing???
Do you ever feel like some of your quality posts get completely ignored?
I have reasonably high karma (2183) and I admit that some of my posts are pretty stupid, but other ones I think are really interesting and that people would really like it... Every so often though, some of those quality ones seem to be completely ignored. Like they won't even get down-votes...they'll just sit there. A...
Made these last night for a Comprehensive design studio. We are working on integrated building systems.
We'll soon be aggregating this building system into a program-less building. The aim of this studio is to design future use buildings which will outlast a single use and provide flexible space. **1** **2**               **Design Brief:** A steel structure is designed to work with two wall types.

Dear American redditors, how do you keep your er... "pooper" clean at all times without a bidet?
This is a serious question, despite its gross and seemingly comical nature. I genuinely want to know. From what I've heard bidets aren't very common in America, though Wikipedia says they're becoming increasingly popular, but I don't know the extent of this. What happens at those times when your digestive system is n...
Does BC2 allow you to level guns/equipment the way MW2 does?
This is something that I really enjoy about MW2, the ability to level guns, equipment, gain titles, etc. Truth be told there's lots they could have done with this style of gameplay, but they didnt. I've been watching lots of videos of BC2 and the gameplay aspect seems to trump MW2 in almost every possible way (dedica...
what to do about an extortionist roommate?
long time reader first time poster... So my roommate payed me a sum of 1100 to take two classes for him last semester. i attended class, sat for exams, etc for him the entire semester in each of the two classes. At the end I/he came out with a B in one class and a D the other. At my uni a D is not a passing grade so h...
Happy 30th - Need ideas for a fun, family friendly and budget friendly 30th party.
I need some inspiration for a fun AND family friendly 30th party. I've considered bowling, but it's been done by another friend. No 1980's themed party because it's so cliche. We host game nights frequently so boardgames/videogames are nothing out of the ordinary. I'm really out of ideas...you got any? **Edit 1:**...
IAE sick of the whole "dudes with beards" fad?
I am getting really annoyed at the fact that every time I go out on the weekends I'm surrounded by different variations of the same guy. What ever happened to variety? I prefer to date good looking guys; which is why I work out, dress up and spend a good portion of the evening doing hair and make up. Only to get to the...
I'll be studying abroad this time next year. Where in the world would you recommend, Reddit?
I'm leaning towards Australia at the moment, and I would prefer a place that speaks some English, as I don't know any other languages.

I just chucked my cookies, can't get sick smell out of my nose. Any tips or tricks?
Food poisoning, I think. Puked HARD. Brushed, gargled, showered, even fucking shaved, tried shooting water up m'nose. Still can't get rid of this nonsense. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Let's call religion by its true name: therapy, coping mechanism.
I have no doubt that all things equal, someone attending religious services will fare better than someone who is not (in some respects). This does nothing to differentiate religion from psychotherapy or exercise. Much as psychotherapy can be shown to prolong life, happiness, etc. religion can present similar benefits. ...
I donated $100 to Direct Relief International on behalf on Reddit. This morning I received this email. Please tell me this is not true.
Hi Mr. ---------- Thank you for asking about us. Gerald told me you had emailed after learning we had been sent to Haiti to help with the relief effort. Anyway, Shanklin and I are back. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect ...
If businesses can deduct steak and strippers as "client-services" why in the hell are student loan payments not deductible in any meaningful way?
Im talking about more than some token portion of the interest. Capping student loan payments might ease short-term pain, but that will just result in a larger percentage of the population carrying a heavy debt burden for longer periods.
I just got my organic chem test back.. And I have a question
I was asked to draw the resonance structures of acetone. I actually drew the two resonances.. page 4 . But. I drew a third, which creates a carbocation on one end, attached to a carboanion which is attached to an oxygen with a -1 formal charge. In my slightly convoluted resonance, the formal charges still add up to -1 ...
DAE remember or ever attend Space Camp?
There was one here in California for about 7 years, but I know the biggest one is still open in Alabama. I was around 8 or 9 when I went to the one held next to Moffett Field in Mountain View. It was my first trip away from my parents so I had some difficulties overcoming that part, but otherwise the camp was AWESOME....
[5]When is a wake and bake no longer a wake and bake?
I was just sitting here while smoking a bowl and I started wondering what the time limitation on a wake and bake was. I'm still in bed right now, but I've been up for forty minutes just dicking around on my computer. Does this still count as a wake and bake?
Recommendations for some good rap?
Been listening to Jay-Z's On to the Next One ( a lot lately and realized that I basically...have no rap. Some of the lines are fucking hilarious/awesome..."Double your money and make a stack!" So yeah...recommendations please!
Anyone else go to the WWK Pre-Release this weekend?
I hadn't done a sealed before. Turns out I'm much better at drafting. Ah well. The dude at my table (who went on to win the whole thing) opened a Foil Jace, Two misty rainforests, Lotus Cobra and Wrexial, the Risen Deep. He played them all and, shock of all shocks, went 4-0.

During a time of crisis and growth, those who unite and carry on are critical to the mission.
We are all part of the birth of a new social movement, a new grassroots organization, and a new political party. In the past few days, because our party’s age can still be measured in days, leaders have emerged and disappeared. **They will continue to do so, as the burden of leadership becomes increasingly complex and ...
Some days I have to look at spreadsheets for hours on end. When can I get an e-ink monitor to reduce my eyestrain?
I think that someone should be working on this more. I know refresh rate is slow, but I'm scrolling through spreadsheets here, not watching full screen HD video.
What are some articles that look like legitimate sources, but really aren't?
I'm teaching a class on information literacy tomorrow, and I usually use articles that I've found relating to topics like vaccines as a causal mechanism for autism, but would like to move beyond that. I've been looking for different examples out there (like holocaust denial), and I thought this might be an interesting...
Haagen-Daaz or Ben & Jerry's?
Title says it all. Haagen-Daaz is amazing. I've surprisingly never tried Ben & Jerry's though.
At what point do you first remember questioning the idea of God?
First vivid memory I have is sitting on the steps outside my house, talking to my Mormon friend, we got to talking about God and what we imagined him to be like. I latched onto the idea of him receiving prayers (or wishes as I called them at that age) and wondered how this could be implemented. I took my friend as more...
IAE sick of Mormon hypocrisy and lack of Integrity ?
I was LDS (mormon) since 14 (I am now 36) and left the church at age 28. If you are going to read/comment here Im going to assume you know Mormon doctrine pretty well preferably from being or having been LDS. So I go to the gas station yesterday (sunday) to pick up some drinks and chips. I pull up next to a van DECKED...

What was the last good book you read?
I'm curious as to what Redditor's are reading recreationally. This isn't really meant to list text books or technical manuals. Also it's not your favorite book, but rather, what you're reading right now. So, what's in your backpack or on your night stand?
How has your taste in music evolved?
As I'm sitting at work listening to some music on my lunch break, I just realized that the music I enjoy listening to has really changed through the years.

Reddit, I need to stop or slow down gambling
First of all, long time user/contributer/poster/reader, and I apologize for the throwaway account but I'd like to retain some form of anonymity here with this. Long story short, I'd like to stop gambling. It's not so much the financial part of it -- although that is a contributing factor. I just don't think it's healt...
I have a Remington 1100 20 gauge with modified choke in PERFECT condition that my Father left me. Is anyone interested in obtaining it?
I will post pics later today. It is in perfect condition, though. No scrapes or anything. **EDIT:** Sorry, I should have looked up the rules and the gun laws first. I will try some local dealers. I just moved to this state. I do appreciate all the help I have recived from you guys, though. Much thanks to all of you!
The mysterious sailing stones of Death Valley?
I checked snopes and there was nothing on this. What do you think reddit? Real or Fake? * edit: What do you think is a reasonable explanation for this.
UT plans to shut down renown music venue because the venue doesn't make them enough money.
For those of you not in Austin, and those that are here but don't know this place, the Cactus Cafe is a little bar and music venue located on UT's campus. The venue has been around for over 30 years, and it is one of the few music venues dedicated to music, not profit, scenesters, or glory. The worst thing about this c...
How to get incompatible add-ons to work in Firefox 3.5.
Install firefox 2. Let it install and do it in another folder. Install the add on then, and after that reinstall Firefox 3. After that, it's done. Your add-on will still be there. Of course, I would skip the add-on check. Enjoy, hope it works for you.
Hey Reddit! What's it like working in Flight Service?
Because I'm really thinking of working in Flight Service after I finish High School. Probably do a Degree in Customer Service before I start working there!

Why is Dick Cheney not in jail?
After reading about the works and actions of our former Vice President, I felt compelled to ask the internet why he is not in jail for all of the illegal procedures and actions he took part in and instigated. The answer is logical.
Is there any debate going on in Germany about leaving the Euro? (instead of pushing out the debtor nations and keeping the Euro)
The reason I'm asking is this: > We can argue over whether Greece, Portugal, or Spain are at risk of being forced out of the euro. But there is another nagging question: whether events will cause Germany and its satellites to withdraw, **bequeathing the legal carcass of EMU to the Club Med bloc.** > This i...
What are the (good) options for compiling C to Java? What experiences have you had with any such software?
I very much prefer to write C than Java but am now required for a team project (in which I was the only one comfortable with C, what has undergraduate CS education come to?) to write in Java. I googled it, of course, and got a couple results. One software costs ~$3k, and the other is C2J Converter. I am a bit skeptic...

I am inventing a new bar game. I need some random rules.
So the bar I work in asked me to host a weekly bar-game, along the lines of Trivia, but NOT trivia. (That is already going on). I have an idea that is a cross between Bingo, Trivia, Pictionary, and Let's Make a Deal, but the research and preparations are overwhelming. I need some random rules to spice it up. Ideas? Upd...
Where I think the problem falls.
This is where I think we run into a problem when discussing blanket legalization and government regulation of distribution: No matter what the personal viewpoints of these leaders and congressmen we elect actually are, they have too much money coming in from all of these special interest groups (big pharma, alcohol, t...
Game Idea: GTA MMO but it's free to play as the cops.
I realize that there are some mods out there for the PC GTA games to allow multiple players raising hell at once--and of course the new GTA games have multiplayer options--but we've all dreamed of a true MMO version. I guess the concern would be that the city would be a clusterfuck (a beautiful one) 24/7. My stab at ...
My cat finds comfort in the oddest places (pics)
In a dustpan: On the TV: In a garbage can: In the sink: In a gift bag: **Edit**: Wow, thanks for the response! For anyone wondering, her name is "Chainaw". I named her that when I got her since it's just about as contradictory as it gets!
AskReddit: A question about colloquial British speech
My dad watches British car shows on TV (we are in the US). Today, I overheard both, "It's as big as a big thing," and "It's as vague as a vague thing." Is this a common construction? Is it regional? Who would and who would not use a phrase like this?
Is it cheaper to heat a whole house using gas or to use an electric space heater for one room?
This question popped into my head last night as I went to bed with the door closed. Even though I lower the thermostat, heating the rest of the apartment seems like such a waste.
A Request for help, after major House Fire
Hello, fellow Redditors. On 30 December 2009, We lost our house to a major fire. The good news? My son was at a friends house, and my wife was at work.

I suscribed not too long ago here, but I haven't seen any post concerning competitive shooting sports. I shoot mostly 10m pistol (compressed air).

We need a new logo, and would also like: default thumbnail (instead of reddit logo with question marks), css theme, replacement images for right nav (see r/wave for example). maybe a replacement new mail envelope to match the theme.
I've scoured the internet, learned alot, but nothing beats reddit. So reddit, what are your tips for losing weight?
I suppose it'd probably be helpful to know my "specs". I'm 6'3, around 235 pounds, and I have a medium frame. I've set my target weight, at the lowest, to 210, which people tell me would be almost unhealthy. While I appreciate any and all advice concerning weight loss, I do have a couple specific questions. - Somet...
IAE not going to watch the Superbowl?
I used to watch it just so I could talk about it the next day with friends, but I really don't care anymore.
Do people just downvote for the hell of it?
So I'm sitting here looking at my IAMA post and notice that people are just randomly downvoting it. Is this normal behavior from redditors?
How many of you work in the media?
I've noticed that there a lot of people here who have reporting and publishing backgrounds. There is also regular criticism of the media, which is awesome, as it keeps journalists on their toes. So I'm curious - who here is a reporter? Editor? Media relations personnel? Etc.? Do you have any reddit-related experiences...

What do you think of people announcing that they have to poop?
We all say "I have to pee," but what about pooping? My boyfriend and I both tell each other when we have to poop, but I think it would get awkward if I started announcing it to other people, too. Do you declare your need to poop?
Your best party theme ideas?
Hi, AskReddit. I know this has been asked before (and recently), but the search function is all fucked right now and I'm trying to brainstorm a good theme for my birthday party this year.

Tebow's ad puts human face on abortion issue, and goes on to call Pro-Choicers "abortionists" and "Pro-Abortion"
Reddit, I am sick of seeing the crap that Star Parker spews in my morning paper. I find it offensive that she throws around the words "abortionists" and "pro-abortion." I left a little comment at the bottom, would reddit like to leave her a message in one of DC's more conservative dailies?
Question: Is it some kind of unwritten law that you must be a total douche to successfully participate on reddit?
I know I'm not completely alone with this. What's up with the large amount of jaded douchebags on reddit? Is anyone else tired of having to skim over vast amounts of "witty" (idiotic) comments or being downvoted just for voicing your opinion? So penis jokes in a serious thread = good. Saying what you think in a respe...
Just Found 1 Year Old LSD - Is it worth taking?
I just found 3 tabs of acid that I lost last year. They were stored in a dark place (small plastic bag in an old glasses case). My question is should I still take them? Would the acid even be good? What if I licked the bag? Would it affect my trip? Thanks reddit in advance for your help.
What do you want to see online that has yet to be made available online?
It seems like it is getting to the point where everything around us is online. However, there are quite a few gems that are missing from the online world.

See now, I don't buy into superstition. In fact, since breaking said mirror, my life's been pretty swell. Additionally, what I've realized is that I now have 4-5 small-medium pieces of mirror that I can use. So my question to you, Reddit, is: what should I do with my mirror shards so that it's an overall positive expe...
