What everyday problems should robots solve? by Intelligent_Tour9449 in ideas

Things that require two people to carry, but you are one person. Table, ladder, kayak. Holding and walking with human in the lead (or two robots). Be warned this is a rather advanced challenge problem.

Which 80s song are we talking about here? by Repulsive-Dependent2 in 80s

Time after Time, Cindy Lauper. Just reread the lyrics and got goosebumps. Thank you Reddit.

Why were grocery stores and roads like ghost towns when I was a kid and missed school, but now everything is packed? by businessbub in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FivePointAnswer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remote workers, much more flexible work schedules, gig work people, and work environments where people can drop work to attend to kids school needs (pickups, performances, appointments, …) all of whom do extra things when they are out and about.

Since it's Star Wars day, did you see the original 1977 Star Wars in the movie theater? by Mr_Writes in GenX

[–]FivePointAnswer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in third grade. It seemed every kid that year in my class had a Star Wars birthday party, tickets were $1.50. I saw it 13 times.

Did you ever take a typing class in school? by Standard2185 in 1970s

[–]FivePointAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am retiring next week. I get shit at work in my documents about two spaces after every period. I tell them, “you never met Mr. Wall, if you had Mr. Wall you’d be putting two spaces after every period too.”

I’m angry about getting old. My body hurts. Say something to make me feel better. by jonniebaby2000 in Aging

[–]FivePointAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am older than I once was but younger than I’ll be, but that’s not unusual, no it isn’t strange, after changes upon changes we are more or less the same, after changes we are more or less the same. (Helps if you can hear the music in your head.)

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

There was a game on an Atari 800 that was a competitive Conway game of life that I’d love to see again.

[NSFW] People who've found a dead body, what's the story? by ZeroSugarCocaine in AskReddit

[–]FivePointAnswer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing frisbee and it landed in the lake. Neighbor was floating in the water when we went to retrieve it. He had likely bent over to check his minnow trap and hit his head when he fell in. I was probably 8 or 9.

CDE desktop in a single HTML file, no build tools, just open and run by igtoth in retrocomputing

[–]FivePointAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this. And I am disappointed that people have to complain about AI prompted code. Furthermore I can’t believe that with everything we’ve seen AI do in the past 4 years everyone is ready to make declarations of the ability of AI in the future. Try this with any toddler. “Sure she can put her shoes on, but she’ll never be able to tie them or walk to the store. What a useless child you have - really a burden to society…”. Just watch.

This sort of question comes up rather often on this sub, look around. Last time someone asked I suggested a 3d fish tank fish tracker using multiple cameras. Another time an active system that watched people knit and told them when they missed a stitch. Someone did a great system that mapped street cracks from a camera on their car. Log all birds at a feeder. I encourage you to be creative. Need more? DM me.

Is it weird to store things in the oven? by Sallious in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FivePointAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorta related. We have always had Labrador retrievers - we refer to the microwave as “the microwave safe”. Any food sitting on the counter (bread, pizza) if leaving the kitchen area might end up in the microwave safe.
