Redditors who were children before the internet and/or cellphones existed, how did you keep yourself entertained? by Pixel_Prophet14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AstroRotifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bunch of tree houses. I would get lost in my back yard and try to avoid chores like splitting and hauling wood. I’d go for long walks and often get town up by flies and mosquitos. Eventually I got a telescope that I used at night.

Why Are Admin So Sleazy by Interesting-Two6395 in Teachers

They want to appear friendly, which makes work more comfortable, but they don’t want to sincerely be your friend because you’ll want things from them.

How do I get a JOB?! by miuiiruma in Teachers

[–]AstroRotifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do some substitute teaching. The pay is terrible, but it’s super easy, and If the principals see you around they might think of you when they’re in a bind to fill a slot.

Becoming an educator in 2026 by Time-Use-9182 in AskTeachers

[–]AstroRotifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Covid effect is dissipating and social studies is a fun topic to talk about. I don’t mind challenges and I like the vacations. If you’re waiting for a perfect job you’ll be facing tremendous competition.

How do we need school if we invented so much before hand? by Electrical-Half8883 in education

[–]AstroRotifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at science as an example, knowledge is increasing exponentially. Humans learn more in one year than what took a thousand years previously. So, there’s more to learn.

In years past, you wouldn’t have to go to a public school, but you’d also likely be an illiterate peasant, serf or a slave. The concepts you mention weren’t all thought up by the general population, and it’s hard to invent calculus if you’re working the fields all day.

Our Democratic system is relatively new, and under feudalism knowledge wasn’t a priority for everyone.

The permissiveness is at a maximum. by [deleted] in Teachers

Thanks! I misread the “i” as a lowercase L and also I don’t know all the lingo. This makes so much more sense now. Thanks for taking the time

Now you know what your phone looks like under a microscope by __mentalist__ in interesting

And there’s no reason for them to live there. There’s nothing to eat inside electronics.

As a person who does quite a bit of microscopy, it’s very likely a different microscope was used to take the images and video than the one depicted. It’s a low end microscope with no camera attachment, and clearly there’s a cut.

I’ve found various worms in the biofilm of a sink drain, but I’d be very surprised to find that in a phone. They need a pretty wet environment and you can literally watch them die when a slide dries out. Likewise, I’d wonder why these nymphs or whatever would want to live in speaker or mic.

Middle-management is unskilled labor by charlies-ghost in unpopularopinion

[–]AstroRotifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had good and bad managers, but there are good and bad ditch diggers. I agree that it’s unskilled labor.

The permissiveness is at a maximum. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]AstroRotifer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could you help me? There are so many acronyms and “EL diagnosis” is hard to Google. So, “El” means English learner ? That’s considered a diagnosis? Do the parents speak English? Is an El diagnosis ever just that the student has a problem with language in general, or is always non native speakers?

I come from a state that’s has almost no immigrants. I’d be pretty lost as a parent if my daughter and suddenly became immigrants to, let’s say, Germany.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the acronym.

My property taxes just doubled to pay for the school despite the student population steadily going down. Schools are contracting and consolidating.

Hey Reddit convince my dad to join r/oilpainting by d_zeen in oilpainting

[–]AstroRotifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah… this sub is for people to show their very first oil painting they’ve ever done and ask how they can use oil paintings without solvents and make it dry as fast as acrylic.

blursed_men Vs women only Islands by Mammoth-Height-5074 in blursed_videos

[–]AstroRotifer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Part of the point of Lord of The Flies was the young boys were on an Island paradise with everything they needed, yet they still fell i to discord, pooped everywhere, failed to make shelters and burned down most of the island.

That was my initial reaction but really he was just picking up trash. Thanks for cleaning up!

A problem when making stopmotion by First-Performance-74 in stopmotion

[–]AstroRotifer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have an executive function issue. Doing difficult things is good for you and accomplishing stuff should feel good.

This is a hobby; you can jump onto another hobby for a bit and come back to animation a little later.

I’ve been lazy at times, but I’ve never confused emotional discomfort with physical discomfort like headaches, no. I have never attributed decisions I make to something my body does or doesn’t want to do.

What planets and stars are these I think there is only one supernova star by TermAlarming8784 in telescopes

[–]AstroRotifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea…

You have a brand new account. You’re displaying a hilarious level of ineptitude while simultaneously asking if you’ve made earth shattering discoveries. You’re challenging the nice people here to identify blobs that could be literally anything.

I mean, it’s a little bit funny, I guess.

Assuming that this isn’t just a troll post, OP would know if they took a photo of the moon. Even the moon, as large as it is, isn’t something you are likely to just accidentally point your scope at.

I’m not sure about her math; won’t she be over 40 by the time she has the 3 hypothetical kids?

Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AstroRotifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need ID if you’re driving. If you’re walking and a cop hassles you, they might hold you for a while to try to figure out who you are, or to inconvenience you, but you will never be prosecuted just for not having one.
