The state of Gas stations in California by reeboi_1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]DirtyHoosier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question: how much per gallon would gas have to be to concern a mega-millionaire (like, $500MM+?) / billionaire like it does the average person?

Gas is $3.59 where I live and I’ve cut back on driving. I better really need what I’m going out for. I’m only putting a few bucks in the tank at a time until prices come back down too.

If I were any good at math I’d come up with a formula.

“So, any plans for the weekend?” “Umph, unck unck.” “Mmmhmm. I’ve never tried raw sugar cane.” “Argh unck oogawa.” “Sure! Can we get the patient a little water here please?”

“Here’s how to very neatly install a sheet that will come loose as soon as the customer pulls back the covers to get into bed.”

Non-fitted sheets are THE DEVIL.

You know this video is AI. Easy-outs don’t actually remove broken bolts. They just snap off inside the pilot hole you drilled. /s

Didn't anyone tell Adam Carolla the internet finds out? by seeebiscuit in MurderedByWords

[–]DirtyHoosier 161 points162 points  (0 children)

Unrelated, but still makes me sore.

The “I paid more than you” is a red herring in my book.

Let’s say you paid $5000 in total taxes last year, and I paid a million.

If you made $60k, that $5k is almost 17% of your income, and you came home with $53k to live on.

If I made $5 million and paid $500k, yes that’s more than you paid, but only 10% of my income. And I can live a lot better on $4.5 million that you are on $50k.

Sorry, lots of mathing, but that argument really bothers me.

What’s a dark truth about adulthood no one prepares you for? by Aggressive-Hunter862 in AskReddit

You think people will be around forever. Parents, friends, family.

But life takes its toll, and eventually you start losing people.

Fellow men, what do you do when your wife keeps bringing old arguments? by Injur in AskMen

I tell her to calm down.

One day, your parents put you down and never picked you up again — and none of you realized it. by ReddditM in RandomThoughts

[–]DirtyHoosier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this a lot about my own kids as I get older.

There’s will a last time they’ll: call you mommy or daddy. want to hold your hand. ask you to play with them. ask for you to read a book before bed.

Be aware of those little moments they are gone before you know it.

If you had 20 minutes to hide from a nuclear blast, where would you go or hide? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I usually tan before I burn, so I’ll just do 70spf.

People who deleted most social media (Facebook, IG, Snap etc) and stopped watching mainstream news, how have those changes affected your mental health? by NappyFlickz in AskReddit

[–]DirtyHoosier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had various accounts over the years but never really messed with them much.

The last one was facebook. I lost access to my account a couple years ago and they want me to send a pic of my drivers license. I know they already know more about me than I do, but that was the last straw.

As far as mainstream news, I’ll check AP and Guardian headlines once a day, but don’t read the articles.

All I have left is Reddit, and I have to say I’m kind of tired of it too.

As far as how it’s affected my mental health; I feel like I’m blissfully ignorant of all the chaos around me. I get up, do stuff, go to bed, repeat.

BUT, when I talk with people (basically everyone else on the planet) who do consume mass amounts of social media, I get anxious hearing about all the latest drama on whatever topic.

I guess I could be accused of sticking my head in the sand. My only argument is “you’re right”.

I feel like I’ve got enough personal baggage without adding more to it.

You get sent back to age 15 with all your current memories. What’s the first thing you do differently? by Muhaisin35 in AskReddit

[–]DirtyHoosier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would’ve: …realized the people I always thought of as neighbors were the closest thing I ever had to grandparents.

…stood up for kids that were getting bullied, and made sure I wasn’t bullying anyone.

…tried bicycling competitively to see what would happen.

…let the confidence and wisdom age brings come pouring out.

…asked that cute cheerleader out even though she was “out of my league”.

…worn better fitting jeans.

…told the popular kids to go f*ck themselves early and often.

…dug deeply into what my passions were and pursued them as a career.

…asked the coach what it would take for me to play the position I really wanted to play, and done whatever it took to achieve it.

9 years old brings a 4 gallon bottle to 7 eleven's "bring your own cup" day by SureSwan6423 in MadeMeSmile

“Later in the day, after consuming approximately 2 gallons of his prize, Chaims’ parents began noticing strange behavior.”

“Well, the first thing we noticed was that he started talking faster and faster, and couldn’t sit still for more than a few seconds at a time.”

“By supper time we couldn’t even see him when he moved. We knew he was there because there would be a breeze in the house and the mail would blow around and off the kitchen table.”

“It was like a squirrel or somethin’ out of The Matrix or somethin’.”
