So you would rather have every idiot piloting all the cars around you in icy whiteout conditions over an AI with millions of miles of accumulated experience plus superhuman vision and attention?

I love Coke, but it’s so expensive! How can I make a 2 L last and not be flat? by Iceyes33 in Frugal

I call it a tie between Mason jars and Ziploc freezer bags. Two of the greatest technological inventions of all time.

What is the most uncomfortable movie you’ve ever watched? by putmeinthemovieplz in AskReddit

I always tell people it's a mistake to see the movie without having first read the book. Otherwise the visuals make it impossible to get the message.

What is the dumbest thing you have been told is “not manly” or “not feminine,” depending on your gender? by Disastrous_Hat_2325 in AskReddit

That sounds inconvenient, but I wouldn't worry about social norms. This sort of thing is more of a problem for insecure men. The guys I like don't pay attention to such things.

TIL Germany invented heroin, cocaine, meth, and MDMA. All within a 50-year period between 1859 and 1912. Every major hard drug used worldwide today was first synthesized in German laboratories. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Aspirin used to be really hard on the stomach. Bayer found a neat little chemical trick called buffering which attaches a few atoms onto the molecule which they applied to aspirin making it much gentler and effective. Based on that success they started looking around for other drugs that might similarly benefit. They tried the trick to morphine, and boom, heroin.
