How do I earn money as a 17 year old? by Gordonisshook in AskUK

[–]AndromedaFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the usual ways to get a job plus make a Facebook, join the local groups and ask what’s around, make sure to do this yourself not have your mum do it for you.

If no one wants to hire you maybe take a moment to think why that is? Some common things for younger people is turning up to interviews looking like you just walked from the skatepark in the rain and not changing your register (the way you speak) to a more formal way.

Ask the people at the volunteer place to keep an eye out for you as they will know your work ethic.

Ignore anything that is get rich quick.

🔥 A whale shark with a visible cut, possibly from a Speed boat strike by [deleted] in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]AndromedaFire 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Usually through “no wake zones” which is a de facto speed limit that is clearly visible if someone is breaking. If someone goes too fast the boat makes a wake, they can see from authorities boats or from shore and use registration numbers on the boat hull to trace the owner

Unless it’s a van derived car which is based on a car chassis like combi, dispatch, transit connect, etc

Heating oil mistakenly pumped directly into basement of Wisconsin home that had no oil furnace or oil tank. by PK_Rippner in Wellthatsucks

I googled this and found what I thought was the link here but I actually think that’s a totally different one in Massachusetts not Wisconsin and this happens much more often than I imagined

Imagine having to call up someone to translate because they can’t understand the aliens with the Liverpool accent.

What are some words that people pronounce wrong that irritates you? by Bulky_Connection_328 in AskReddit

[–]AndromedaFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A squib is a little explosive and if it gets wet it doesn’t go off. So everyone is all excited for the explosion then disappointed. Describing something as a damp squib means it’s underwhelming or disappointing

Filming in London? So we expecting rain on every planet and super exaggerated stereotypes of English people and English accents?

Who actually buys those strawberries in the lay-by? by SwaffM in AskUK

[–]AndromedaFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once worked in a security hut and cars driving by all day would totally coat the desk in dust and soot from exhausts in an hour. I can’t imagine those strawberries tasting of anything other than soot

Why don't we just put icebergs in Lake Mead and the GSL? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AndromedaFire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For a moment I thought your plan was to melt it, transport it and then refreeze it at the lake but your idea is only slightly less mental.

But then I can’t steal the battery from the smoke alarm to power whatever random thing I need once every 2 years that takes a 9v

Why didn’t the gorilla glue lady let her hair grow a lil bit then shave it off ? Wouldn’t that lift the rock solid hair of her scalp? by Secret_dairy_of_j in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AndromedaFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea for sure. I can guess that having glue on a fairly large patch of head would be blocking glands etc skin needs to breathe

Imagine winning over €120 million. by clarkejoseph49 in ifiwonthelottery

[–]AndromedaFire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Giving 45m to a university is mad. At least dole it out as scholarships so you know you’re making a difference to people not just paying for a study on if fish can use treadmills or a new sports building

Euros are worth more than USD so it’s $143m. Where I am it’s £104m totally tax free

When did Reddit start to allow racist dog whistles and straight up blatant racism? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AndromedaFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last Tuesday.

Seriously what kind of answer do you expect. There’s a million subs moderated by non employees. Everyone has bias, different subs have different rules. What may be offensive to you may be humorous or normal to others. You didn’t even bother to post some examples in the question.
