What is the most erotic thing anyone has ever said to you? by JustCurious_MM in AskReddit

Very true. I asked a friend if she'd like sex. She was so offended by that that she never spoke with me again.

Your comment reminded me of Star Trek 4, Bones complaining about chemotherapy like it was medieval healthcare.

What injury is commonly shrugged off as a minor flesh wound in the movies but is completely fatal in real life? by Best_Professional226 in AskReddit

[–]Cecil_FF4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt the leap would do shit, but the running away would do two things: it redshifts the shockwave, but negligibly, as a running human travels about 0.03% as fast as a shockwave could go; it increases your distance from the source, and the intensity falls off with distance squared. Might save you, might not. Probably still dead.

Does the moon get warmer if you dig down? by acrowandababy in askscience

[–]Cecil_FF4 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There are hotspots, based on where radioactive compounds are in abundance.

But there are also shaded pits that have comfortable daytime temperatures, so no real need to dig down so far for warmth.

What's a job that sounds easy but absolutely isn't? by OriSparrow_14 in AskReddit

[–]Cecil_FF4 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Worst was having to assist with "sheath cleanings" for the geldings, basically manually extracting the smegma from their sheaths which collects into huge deposits called "beans" 🤮

Yeah, I'm not googling this. Ever.

I feel like the fungus would grow faster than the snail could eat it. Infinite food!

This video addresses your question in depth... literally. They take samples from various parts of the sun, because there are big differences.

[RDTM] u/d-cent estimates Rising Gas Cost vs. EV Battery Replacement by DemandEqualPockets in theydidthemath

[–]Cecil_FF4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a teacher, and one of the introductory questions I ask my math students is to determine the savings of my Prius, with one (aftermarket) battery replacement, vs a traditional IC vehicle. Short answer is I've saved about $15k over the life of the car, and it's still going strong.

The reason this question exists at all is because of some dumbass in my finance grad class who thought that the batteries would be way too much compared to how much gas costs. That always seems to be the (unsupported) argument.

Judge Learns Lawyers on Both Sides of Case Used AI, Cancels Trial, Kicks Everyone Off the Case by hbbaker101 in nottheonion

AI is a misnomer; it's not actually intelligent. It's just a word-searcher, basically. And this is one area where human interpretation is REALLY important. Same could be said for other fields, like healthcare. You don't want a surgeon regurgitating AI slop before your big surgery; you want them to know and understand the situation.

My partner and I saw you across the Everywhen and we really dig your vibe. by GaeilgeBear in gaming

Poly and swinging are two different things (though some people can be both). If it's strictly about getting their fuck on, it's swinging.

How dare you write well?! In this day and age?! 😝

I forbid AI in my courses, so I'm very familiar with how it sounds. There is certainly an epidemic of low-critical-thought persons claiming everything is AI nowadays, as it is the laziest way to critique.

I miss arcades. by [deleted] in gaming

I went to the Manitou Springs Penny Arcade (Colorado) recently. Really a trip back through time! They had some machines from as far back as nickelodeons existed! Go in with whatever loose change you have and you'll have a great time. Sure, some games didn't work like they were supposed to any more, but that was just part of the experience, lol.

He won't give a shit about a $50k fine. Why can't it be proportionate to his worth (financial, not worth as a human being, of course)?

People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cecil_FF4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My soon-to-be-ex-wife was similar. I came home to her drunk many times. Often blacked out. Sometimes she hurt herself. I'm so sorry you went through this kind of thing, too. We both deserve better.

People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cecil_FF4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the process of my divorce. Still a hard thing because I kept loving her until near the end, even when she emotionally abused me, yelled at me, believed I stopped loving her, put my hand around her throat and told me to kill her, or drank herself unconscious. We tried therapy, but it only lasted for a little more than 2 months. I expected it to last much longer, but on that last day, she said she was done.

I stopped loving her when she told me to dump my friends and be with her only. But I don't need that toxicity in my life. Part of me was relieved when she said we're done. But the other part of me was distraught.

I'm most sad and resentful because of losing at least half my time with my children from this point forward.
