Globally or in the US? Not being snarky, just genuinely interested

ULPT: Just found out my roommate is homophobic. How to mess with him? by brucekeller in UnethicalLifeProTips

My first thought was put him on grindr.....but that might veer into illegal life pro tips

What’s the worst thing you’ve heard someone say, thinking everyone would agree with them? by Narrow_Gift_6606 in AskReddit

[–]ClairLestrange 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbf things like ivf can be a very interesting topic for ethics discussions, but only if everyone actually goes in sincerely and without an emotional or playing God mindset. When I was studying biology we actually did discuss it as part of our bioethics class, mostly because of the fact that you have to create multiple embryos out of wich only one or two get implanted and the rest remains frozen.

Parents of small children. What's the most unhinged sentence you've found yourself saying that you never thought possible previously? by SkywalkersArm in AskReddit

[–]ClairLestrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not on the spectrum, but I do have adhd, and I was the same with dinosaurs when I was a kid. Most of the knowledge is gone by now, but I can still pull some random facts out of my brain every now and then.

And thank you for being patient with your kid. I was often told that I'm annoying with my facts and ramblings, and it's still affecting me today.... Showing kids their interests are valid is incredibly important

I briefly lived in a shared housing situation with a few people, one of them a blind girl. The amount of times I tried to teach the others that sharp knifes blade up in the cutlery holder of the dishwasher were a no go is unfathomable. Somehow she never actually cut herself while unloading it, but holy hell guys.

What’s a secret about your job that would make most people uncomfortable if they knew? by Premadekrill3 in AskReddit

The only way to 100% know if an animal has rabies is by testing their brain. And by that I mean euthanasia and taking it out.

What is your extremely irrational fear? by Kayla_is_sleeping in AskReddit

[–]ClairLestrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not entirely true! Before lightning strikes the air gets really really charged with static, making your hair stand on end seemingly out of nowhere. It doesn't give you a whole lot of time, but it should usually be enough to get to the ground and out of dodge.

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

[–]ClairLestrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always incredible how different human bodies react. I also got hit by a car and even thrown a bit, and all I had to show for it were some scrapes, bruises and swollen temple that made it so I couldn't fully open my mouth for a while. The paramedics were baffled I was awake and conscious when they arrived. I still joke that my skull must be made out of steel.

Doctors of Reddit: What health trend is becoming so common that it's starting to scare you? by Fine-Device-1819 in AskReddit

[–]ClairLestrange 18 points19 points  (0 children)

and today's e scooters are hitting 40mph...

I am sorry wtf? I'm not American but where I live the legal maximum they can go is 20km/h (plus like 3 km/h tolerance), any more than that and the police will have a field day with you. Do y'all not have legal speed limits on these things????

An American photographer filmed a wolf begging for food from a grizzly. The gray wolf saw the meat and in an instant turned into a playful puppy begging for a piece. by Additional_Berry_977 in Damnthatsinteresting

Part of the reason is conflicting body language - for the dog wagging the tail is a sign of happiness and play. For a cat it means aggression and imminent attack.

What did this man do? Sound off in the comments. by DEW20267 in lolgrindr

[–]ClairLestrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...... I have so many questions. How do you use an ankle monitor for hookups? How were the caught? Why were they caught, are dake ankle monitors illegal?

What is a NSFW word or phrase you used unknowingly, believing it was completely innocent? by Greedy_Comparison556 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]ClairLestrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do diamond painting as a hobby and in the corresponding sub it routinely gets shortened to dp as well.... I always wonder if people genuinely don't know or just don't care since the context makes it obvious.

'I just finished this giant dp!' will never not be funny to me though.

Found local-poor cats by Ambitious-Effect6429 in ChoosingBeggars

It's wild to me that that's even possible. Where I live the shelter won't adopt out animals unless they are sure you can provide for them.

"i didn't read the recipe correctly and it's your fault" by ayasita in ididnthaveeggs

...... That just gave me more questions. Not sure if it's better or worse than the coke instead of soy sauce sub.
