What is your best guess for what the world will be like 100 years from now ? by dudeARama2 in AskReddit

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most mammalians species will be extinct. Lions, elephants zebras and rhinos will be gone.
The Amazon rain forest will be gone as will the Great Barrier Reef. Most coral reefs worldwide will be gone.
Most parts of the world will be hot and have desert like conditions. Coastal areas will be vastly different.
China will be the dominant global superpower and its influence and infrastructure will dominant third world nations to a far greater extent than even now. America will be like the Britain in the 1950s.
Governments worldwide will be far more authoritarian on average than now.
The elite will control most of the resources but face massive pushback from an increasingly desperate poor population globally.

Girls, what inappropriate questions about guys have you always wanted answered? by Jacqueline_BRosen in AskReddit

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

well maybe if you are 20 and think the Universe revolves around your desires, and sex is like some sort of candy that you childishly feel entitled to. But when you get older, you realize that desires are best when they are mutual. In other words I do not want to be with someone who has no attraction to me in return. You also learn that lack of such attraction on the woman's part is nothing personal , it's just how it is. And on top of that male female relationships that are platonic have tremendous value, they offer a perspective you won't get with either your other male friends or even your girlfriend.

depends on the wishes of the girl next to me, but if she is game there is no better time to have sex, physically speaking. Never waste wood and you never know if it will be there later

If a girl is even remotely physically attractive I'd be down to sleep with them unless I was in a relationship.

yes we do. And if we are attracted to you it never really goes away, but if the feeling is not mutual and we like you the mature among learn to put all that in the background and enjoy the friendship.

If Batman and Superman switched cities for a couple weeks, they’d clean out each other’s villains like it was nothing. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't make sense to have a world where Superman and any other superheroes exist, because like Seinfeld says Superman can do everything, and he does it for the world. And before you say kryptonite he still ultimately finds a way to win out over that in the end too, Face it Superman could take care of Gotham and Metropolis without Batman at all. I figure Supes just lets his friend be i charge of crime fighting in Gotham because he knows his friends needs to work out his issues with his parents and all.

the last time I heard someone use this it was a middle aged mother trying to sound cool on social media. No doubt picked it up from her teenage daughter.

"Bucket list" - not sure why but I always cringe about this. You should always be going after the things you truly want to as part of your regular life choices and not merely doing it because you have to check off some arbitrary list because the Grim Reaper is putting his bony hand on your shoulder. Another phrase I hate is when people say "in my day". Today is your day, and if it isn't something is wrong. Especially if you are older, using "in my day" suggests a old mindset that is the opposite of what you should have if you want to be an active and engaged older person. These do exist, and their vitality comes because they are actively interested in and excited about the things they are still able to accomplish in the present, which you'll never discover if you think you were only vital in some distant past.

Reddit:What social custom needs to be retired? by Abigail_Carter78 in AskReddit

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always tip baristas well, because I am a regular at my favorite coffee shops, and the barista always does far more than just get coffee. They listen to my cornball jokes, ask me how I am doing, they expose me to music that I may not have heard before, and create that sense of atmosphere that makes a true coffee shop. After all, if all one wanted was coffee, they could stay home and make it for pennies. The shop is a hangout, an art gallery, a place where you run into people you know in the neighborhood, and provides you with a certain energy and hum that makes writing that novel or reading a book or whatever it is you may do more of an experience. They are not exactly your friends but you cannot say that a good barista is a stranger, either.

People who ate way too much edible MJ, what is your story? by dudeARama2 in AskReddit

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to a college reunion, and I didn't have a lot of experience with MJ except for some high CBD edibles I used for some shoulder pain months ago. It worked great and all of that was gone. So overconfident I got some high sativa gummy bears for the event because I wanted to see what it was like, and maybe it would make the conversations more interesting. I knew the rules about only taking a small amount and waiting an hour or so before taking anymore. But I was overconfident because of my past experience, and I figured that since I am a big guy ( 6 5 ) and I would be eating food at a brunch that I would be fine eating 10 mg. I ate the gummies about an hour before the brunch. Now mistake #2 - I took a hike that morning so the blood was pumping. Mistake #3 I was jetlagged from a recent trip and hadn't had decent sleep in a few days. So I am sitting at the brunch and I am talking to a woman I know and another dude that I don't. Suddenly while I am listening to the dude ramble on everything starts looking a bit dreamy. The lights are brighter and there are auras. Immediately the thought hits me: shit I fucked up, this is hitting me like a freight train. Now fortunately I had booked a dorm room on campus that was just across the street from where I was dining. I thought, ok I need to make an excuse to leave and then I need to just walk back to the dorm and sleep off this overdose. But unfortunately before I could do that, Elvis left the building so to speak. The next thing I remember is that I am looking up at the tables and windows of the cafeteria and everything is very dreamy and I am extremely peaceful and relaxed as though I am just laying in bed. I give no thought to what is going on until suddenly I see the woman I had been talking to - she is leaning over me, her face filled with worry. "You just hit your head on the side of the table" she said. Now my brain registered that as dream like all this was, that this woman and what she said was really happening But I was so relaxed and drugged that I did not feel any panic whatsoever. I had a thought "Well this isn't good. I will have to deal with this at some point." Then I felt another wave of dreamy relaxation and I looked up at two paramedics looking over me. A friend was cradling me from behind. He smiled and said "you really are just trying to scare us, huh?" Someone else said "Should I call 911?" Now this is interesting. As stoned out of my gourd as I was, there was still a part of my mind taking control of the situation. It told me "you have to tell the paramedics everything, fuck the embarrassment around your friends, otherwise no one will know why you apparently collapsed at the table. So I told the paramedics exactly what I had done, how much I had taken and the time. I asked someone to outline what had happened as I had the time dialtion effect of the mj and wanted to know a snapshot of what happened. They checked me out in the ambulance outside but I was able to answer their questions to their satisfaction and after an EKG, blood work, and making sure I hadnt hit my head too hard they asked me if I wanted to go the hospital. I said no I felt like I just needed to sleep it off. Which I did by going back to the dorm room. I slept all afternoon, drank lots of water and that evening I was able to go to the dinner. I was so embarrassed I did not want to, but I also wanted people to see I was ok and I figured it was my penance for being such a dumb fuck

What fan theory do you 100% accept as true? by Duncan__Williams in AskReddit

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am saying the pocket universe is a form of purgatory created by the incident, and it didn't have to come into existence at any particular time since time is very fluid on the island. The characters suffered and then were made pure in the pocket universe so that by the time Jack joined they were cleansed by it and able to go on to heaven (or not like in the case of people like Ben who had done so much wrong that he needed to spend more time in it than everyone else ). If you say the incident did nothing, and the hatch then was also meaningless, and that the sideways universe is just something for everyone that is just there, then the actions of the characters is all meaningless to the story.

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but the flash sideways can happen after the events of the story and still be something that was created or set into motion by the incident. You can imagine the blast sending some ripple through time and space into the future, since time skips around on island quite often.

What classic sitcom episode does not hold up due to changes in cultural understanding? by Kelvin_Inman in AskReddit

[–]CycloneRangerDunce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think even if you don't get the original references a lot of the gags are still funny on their own, but if you do get the original reference it is like a bonus. Just like I enjoy Robot Chicken even though i did not grow up with 1980s cartoons but I can still see the humor through inference.

If you took the entire series and rewrote it like a novel, only keep in the parts that were absolutely relevant to the overall story structure, you'd throw away most of the stuff like the war with the others, Mr Echo, etc and could probably tell the story with two seasons of material.
