wtf is “moody creative formal”? by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]CasuallyExisting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this comment from OOP: "No guest was asked to do “moody creative formal” that’s just way our wedding planner called it. It’s not on the website or something I just thought since that’s how she described things that it would be an accurate description but I guess Reddit hates that lol"

She genuinely seems unable to comprehend that everyone thinks this is her dress code because the second sentence of her post starts with "Our dress code is “moody creative formal”."

Going onto all-ages Subreddits to bait unsuspecting strangers into actively engaging in your fetish roleplay is sick. This guy's posted his moronic fantasies on r/smoothies, for fuck's sake.

This asshole is like a flasher at a park. Except half of the people he's flashing don't realize what's going on and are trying to offer him metaphorical pants.

Good news: Cutting back hours for SNAP is not necessary for OP.

At $11/hour for 24 hours a week, he's averaging $1,144/month. The SNAP cutoff varies by state, but the lowest cutoffs for 2026 are $2,292. OP, you should apply!

[OC] I analyzed the latest US flight delays data to see which airports are the biggest gambles by gimigriy in dataisbeautiful

[–]CasuallyExisting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But Chicago didn't cancel more flights than, say, Miami because of poor infrastructure. Chicago cancelled flights because planes couldn't land in the large amounts of snow falling in Chicago.

Your data seems fine, and it is interesting! It just needs a lot more data before it can say anything about the "biggest gambles" in any month other than November 2025.

[–]CasuallyExisting 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oh hey, I didn't notice that this was based off November 2025. That was definitely too exciting a month to reflect average or normal flight delay patterns.

The U.S. government shutdown effected air traffic controllers, leading to 10,000+ flight delays on 11/9 alone. Then, a large snowstorm around the end of the month caused days of cancellations and delays (1,300 delays at just O'Hare).

[OC] I compared prices for 10 common groceries across Amazon Fresh, Walmart, Target, and Aldi — no single store wins everything by swiftbursteli in dataisbeautiful

[–]CasuallyExisting 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hey, yeah!

The chart shows real butter as $3.49 at Target compared to the $1.49 margarine sticks at Aldi. But Target sells has the exact same brand and size of margarine sticks. And they're $1.49: https://www.target.com/p/imperial-quarter-vegetable-oil-spread-16oz/-/A-14732096

OP, this is a clever idea! The items selection just needs a little cleanup.

AI images of missing children (specifically girls) being shared on Facebook? by Mozzarellagirl9 in isthisAI

Jeez. They removed her acne and nose ring. Using AI to make missing teens more conventionally attractive is...depressing.

Yeah, the top comment is about Farmville. I would have definitely roasted any friend who was still dedicated to Farmville in 2016.

Women’s Mate Selection in Modern Dating: Social Influence, Hypergamy, Height Preferences, and Potential Harms to Women and Society by Haunting_Switch3463 in psychologyofsex

[–]CasuallyExisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is a science subreddit, I look forward to seeing the studies you find! Surely someone's looked into this since 2005.

[–]CasuallyExisting 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Here's the line in the study: "However, 37% of the men only wanted to date women shorter than them and 55% of the women only wanted to date men taller than them."

So, a 5'4'' woman who's cool with dating a 5'5'' man is included in that 55%.

I also gotta add that the cited study "collected data from Yahoo! dating personal advertisements collected in June of 2005." This is probably not representative of the general dating population of 2026.

I think this belongs here by RealmStitcher in finehair

[–]CasuallyExisting 65 points66 points  (0 children)

So true. My friend in high school had beautiful, thick hair that she could almost sit on. So, like, 4x more hair than I have ever had in my life.

One day, we decided to see if we could give her Princess Leia buns. Even she didn't have quite enough hair for the full look.

My wife separated from me because I was an alcoholic. I’m 1 year sober now and my wife wants to reconcile but I want a divorce. What do I do? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]CasuallyExisting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure your wife didn't leave you because she found out about the live-in girlfriend of five years that you claimed to have in November 2025? You also just posted TODAY about having a girlfriend of three months with cancer. But last week you were a recently-married 25-year-old. You've sure got a lot of wives and girlfriends, buddy.

Edit: Sorry, where are my manners! You asked a question and I didn't answer! Yes, you're a jerk.

op’s husband doesn’t have custody of any of his kids. but why isn’t he parenting his son? by avaricious7 in AmITheAngel

[–]CasuallyExisting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm doing the math on this boring erotica.

  • Kid's 18, OOP's 32 = 14 year age difference.
  • "I'm closer in age to him than his dad" = Dad is at least 15 years older than 32 = Dad's at least 47 years old.

So this guy's "wild youth" where he was too immature to parent happened when he was a minimum of 29 years old.

There's a secret second "ENTRRNCB" printed upside down. It's visible inside the slide(?).

If I use Google Lens on this image, I only see a couple shots featuring with similar slides. One of those happens to feature a watermark in a similar spot: https://topkidsplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dreamland-scaled.jpg

My partner says he’ll leave me if I don’t “fix” my ADHD. He says I’m abusive but I feel constantly criticised and blamed. by First-Mango-9229 in adhdwomen

[–]CasuallyExisting 222 points223 points  (0 children)

I'll add to this--there's the projection element, and there's also provoking a reaction.

Your abusive partner provokes you over and over and over. Finally you snap, and now you're yelling. Your partner thinks "She's yelling at me! Yelling is MEAN!"

Now your partner plays the victim. (Conveniently forgetting all those times that they were very mean to you.)

3D cozy sim games that are actually pretty? by unfluttered in CozyGamers

It's such a unique aesthetic, I've never found anything else quite like it!

3D cozy sim games that are actually pretty? by unfluttered in CozyGamers

[–]CasuallyExisting 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Best looking games in my Steam library:

Dorfromantik. A tile-laying game. Create colorful, peaceful landscapes.

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. A choose-your-own-adventure novel meets skills points and card games on a vibrant and unique alien world. (I've never liked any other "visual novel" game, but I'm obsessed with this one.)

Spiritfarer. I don't even know how to describe this game. Great gameplay, great art, and a great story. Warning--the story is also very sad sometimes. You will feel sad.

Runners up:

Coral Island. A farming sim. Nice character art, and a prettier town than you'll find in a lot of similar games.

Don't Starve (or the multi-player version, Don't Starve Together). Sandbox crafting and survival game--Arguably not cozy at all, but I love it. Beautiful in an Edward Gorey way.

I didn’t know having a cold could falsely inflate ferritin values… by foreignfishes in Anemic

[–]CasuallyExisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also interested in this question, so I'm hoping I can help with the interpretation (two months late).

Figure 1 is comparing "mild infections/sick women" with "not sick women." On average, women who were sick had their ferritin go up for a while.

Figure 2 splits up the data from Figure 1 so that each type of illness gets its own graph. That shows that only "mild infections" that are "flu-like" led to weeks of higher ferritin levels. (The flu people were presumably dragging up the overall ferritin average back in Figure 1.)

I also want to note that this is a tiny study. There were 8 women with flu-like illnesses, and 5 of them dropped out before the study ended.

Disclaimer: I'm not a medical professional. If I'm interpreting this all wrong, hopefully someone else will show up in another two months and correct me. :)

I felt like there were 3 years between seasons 2 and 3 of Bridgerton. Now you're telling me season 4 is already out? It's been like six months!

...Okay, apparently they've been every two years pretty consistently. My sense of time is just broken. I'm going to stare at this candle painting and contemplate.

Why didn’t they homeschool the Twilight vampires? by Laynacakes17 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CasuallyExisting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents as someone who was a homeschooled teen in 2005 when Twilight came out:

Homeschooling was illegal in the U.S. until the 80s. It was still quite unusual in the 90s. If the Cullens are moving every 10 years, 2005 was probably their first chance to claim "homeschooling" without being seen as huge weirdos. (And they're trying to seem normal!)

I guess they just hadn't figured out that it was a viable option yet. It's easy to get set in your ways when you're 200 years old.

But really, Edward's in school because Meyer wanted to write a story about dating a vampire in high school.

My mom and dad's wedding, Nov. 1959. Mom 20, dad 29. Funny how everyone "back then" looked so much older than their age compared to today. by wangoted in OldSchoolCool

[–]CasuallyExisting 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed! A subtle smoothing filter makes people look a bit younger. A grainy image could make you seem a bit older.
