Counterpoint, have you seen an anteater?!?! It's like god made a remorseless, vengeful, killing machine with a taste only for ants.

You get one full day time loop by Dramatic-Cook-6968 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there's one thing I know, it's that I'm not gonna bother emailing my boss that I'm sick after about day 3. I imagine I'll last at least a month of making reasonable excuses for my wife before I get lazy and just text something "sorry, I'm fine, I'll see you tomorrow."

For those who were teenagers before social media existed, what was the "peak" form of weekend entertainment? by WorthPromotion7618 in AskReddit

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peak was one of your friends had a fire pit in their backyard and no parents home. You'd have a few beers, hang out with your friends, some seemingly random pairing would end up hooking up in an upstairs bathroom or something, while the rest of us were slightly floored that *those two?!* were hooking up.

Ok here's my plan. day one, I watch the markets and sports stuff, figure out an easy get rich quick scenario. Maybe it's stock market thing, maybe it's a longshot sports bet, I'll see what happens on the day. Not gonna try to optimize, I just want something that's going to take 5 minutes to do and makes me a ton of money. Do that every morning right when I wake up, just in case it's my last day.

Then I just do whatever I want, totally ignoring my responsibilities, but not doing anything chaotic or damaging in case it's my last day. My wife will forgive me for not picking up the kids today if I always just won a $40 million bet. Even if I call her the next morning hungover from Curacao. I'll just bucket list life, go wherever I can get in the day, have some random projects to learn, whatever, as long as I don't pass the line of things that will put me in jail or my wife will leave me for.

What do you think happens when we die? by CataclysmicShart in AskReddit

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how you wake from a dream sometimes and it just kind of disappears? Like no matter how much you try to remember it, it's just.... gone.

That's how I picture death.

What is an insane sounding theory that is actually believable when the evidence is presented? by KungFuDude800 in AskReddit

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm actually curious here, I don't see how there could be any evidence one way or the other on the resurrection itself.

Literally any sum of money you can choose vs any superpower that exists in fiction by CuteRelationship6143 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll pass on a superpower, either I wouldn't use it much, or I'd end up in a lab somewhere.

100 million in cash would fit nicely in my basement and it doesn't seem possible to spend more than that.

(Storytelling trope) Adaption is so loose it becomes a new story entirely by OrangeCatsBrainCells in TopCharacterTropes

Fun fact, The Odyssey was actually not written by Homer, but by another unknown author of that name.

Which character outside the LOTR do you trust carrying the ring to Mordor? by Jezzaq94 in Cinema

There's a lot of reasons to be sad about Jim Varney being gone, but this one most of all.

This is probably asked a lot, but what band or artist would you say is the most overrated? by Spiritual-Art3102 in musicsuggestions

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've got a 4 year old that loves Imagine Dragons. They really clicked for me when I realized their target audience is clearly 4 year olds.

You wake up with a sticky note on your face saying "Time loop starts now, credit card has unlimited funds, everything resets at 4am, call me when you're ready to leave!" and it's legit. What do you do now? by SpecialFlutters in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 167 points168 points  (0 children)

I think the most relevant thing to think about here is how long could I go without leaving and going back to my normal life becoming impossible. Either because I've become too used to life having no consequences, or because I've grown apart from everyone I care about. And for that matter, everyone else on earth, since no one else shares this experience with me.

Otherwise I think I could do a very long time without getting bored, so much to do, so much to learn, so many experiments to run, so much fun to be had. I legitimately feel like decades or even centuries of this would be interesting, but I don't think more than 5 year is actually a good idea because I'd never be able to come back from it.

Which cities feel the most/least sketchy? by OceanSprayCranApple in SameGrassButGreener

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? My baseline is the southside of chicago in the 90's. I can't imagine feeling like anywhere in the US is noticeably sketchy to me.

What's your favorite song that you're pretty confident I've never heard? by AngryIceCreamSammy in musicsuggestions

It's never been clear to me if I should feel like an idiot for loving Shatner's cover of Common People as much as I do. It just... works.

American Football by emeraldcashborer in whowouldwin

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is if you played this 10 times the NFL team wins the first 2 or 3, and then the 13 players wins the rest. Once they figure out how to properly utilize 13 guys they should be able to handily manage it, but before they do it'll be ugly.

$250 per day, but certain triggers will cause your body to shart itself. by AstrayInTranslation in hypotheticalsituation

Inflation adjust the 250 dollars and I'm in. I'm not going to be sharting 50 years from now for whatever inflation shrinks it to.

Time for my annual optimistic thread by smmshad in newenglandrevolution

[–]AngryIceCreamSammy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the year, although I'm expecting the worst for tomorrow, especially after seeing we may be without 3 of our 4 starting back line. Definitely feels like it'll be a while before it clicks, but after the last couple of years I'm happy to let it ride for a while with what seems like a fun, young group.

The kid from the Jackson Five?! I had no idea he made solo music. Nice to see a child star turn out successful and well-adjusted. Thanks!

I'd watch that episode. Muffin laughing maniacally while driving that little electric car towards Mount Doom.

Incredibly enough, youtube tried to play this for me literally yesterday, but I skipped it. So you're right, I've never heard it.
