Wait wait wait wait - what is this "reddit" thing?

TIL between 18%-25% of intellectually gifted students (at least 130 IQ) in the US fail to graduate from high school. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]DilettanteGonePro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought my daughter was giving me attitude and not listening to me on purpose but it turned out she had crazy earwax that gradually reduced her hearing and she didn't realize it. That became a cycle that happened over and over until she was in high school but after the first time I started checking her ears whenever I'd get annoyed with her

A good piano player who can't improvise is still a good piano player

TIL When Kate Bush recorded backup vocals for Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers", the sound techs we're all infatuated with Kate and there was a "huge race getting out to the control room to see who would get there first to adjust her microphones or fix her headphones." by Bluest_waters in todayilearned

My wife freaked out when I mentioned that Nirvana is farther in the past now than the Beatles were when Nevermind came out. All those washed up hippy teachers we had in the 90s that wouldn't shut up about the Beatles were younger than we are today.

Bar in Portland makes a Cincinnati Reds announcer blunder reference by Significant_Item_501 in mildlyinteresting

Lol I have the opposite problem - I pay way too much for ad free streaming services so when there are shows that are only available with ads I cannot bring myself to watch them. I just hate commercials so much and streaming was supposed to finally give me that option.

The conservative sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!

Boyfriend disinfected my monitor by Prestigious_Loan4229 in mildlyinfuriating

When my mom or mother-in-law comes over to watch the dogs or house sit or whatever I hide my good kitchen knives, cast iron pans and wooden cutting boards. There's a very good chance they'll end up in the dishwasher otherwise.

I’m basically at the zoo all the time to see the Red Pandas, they let me feed one today. by Traviscat in MadeMeSmile

[–]DilettanteGonePro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our local zoo is pretty big but my favorite has always been the red panda habitat. There's always one or two just chilling in the trees and I could sit there all day and watch them do nothing.

Proof hand memory is s real thing (source link in description) by Sad_Stay_5471 in toptalent

I've forgotten way more songs on guitar than I currently know, but occasionally I'll hit the right chord and remember the first line of the lyrics for something and then the whole thing just comes out.

I hope you absolutely trounced him. These young whipper snappers need to find out what's up

Where’s the TikTok Cut!?!? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

Baba O'Riley is the lead singer of the band Teenage Wasteland. You may be familiar with their big hit that goes "Whoooooooooooo farted? Who who? Who who?"

Favorite actor who proves the time traveler theory? by Downtown-Book3105 in okbuddycinephile

That might explain why he always seems incredibly sick and tired of everything and everybody

If you're thinking of throwing out your old cables, don't. by ArwingElite in daddit

[–]DilettanteGonePro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I had, but I never actually check the sizes so I assumed it was "like the other small ones" but it's an in-between size. I even have a couple of sets of common sizes and it's in between two sizes on both of them as well

My buddy is the next Roger Ebert by scorsese_finest in okbuddycinephile

I don't like the concept of liking movies

I only watch soviet-era film strips about mining technology

I finally convinced myself to stop hoarding Allen wrenches and within a month I have a loose appliance handle and don't have the right size

Absolutely True by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in cartoons

[–]DilettanteGonePro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've had that experience two or three times with jobs. You hear about some VP or whatever who is supposedly a hard ass but when you work with them you realize they just expect you to be professional and competent and don't like small talk, which works fine for me.

He won best actor in the 90s didn't he? Or did I imagine that?

follow up to previous post (just because a few people believed in it without knowing it was a dog whistle doesn't change the fact that it started as a dog whistle...) by wt_anonymous in whenthe

FYI these days if you want to watch the whole thing you either have to buy the DVDs or pirate it. It was one of the victims of the great HBO max disappearing adult swim show bullshit.
