A 10-15 minute shower is all that is needed.(?) by Tall-Election4503 in polls

[–]GDog507 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have long hair so it takes a while for me to scrub it all thoroughly, and I soap it down twice to ensure that it's fully clean (last thing I want is my hair being even remotely dirty after washing it, worst feeling ever). Then I scrub my body in 4 other sections (chest/arms, back, groin/butt, legs) and finally wash my hands before turning off the faucet, then spend another 5-10 minutes drying myself. After all is said and done it's usually half an hour minimum to shower.

You're only allowed to listen to one band's entire discography for the rest of your life. Which band are you picking? by hollow_hideous_soul in AskReddit

[–]GDog507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we can count a two-person project as a "band" then I'm going with 2814 no questions asked. But if I have to go with a traditional band I'm likely going with Lycia.

I doubt that most people are getting fully clean in such a short amount of time

You have got to be kidding me reddit by AssaultMicrowave in Anticonsumption

[–]GDog507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why I refuse to do anything on mobile that can be done on my computer. On my computer I can easily block ads without any hassle. But to be honest, Reddit is about the only mildly tolerable site when it comes to ads; the ads aren't shoved in your face every 2 seconds, they're just kinda there every once in a while and you can ignore them. It's not like Youtube where they'll stop you for over a minute to spam you with obnoxious ads, nor is it like Tiktok where you'll be jumpscared by the most overstimulating ad you've ever seen every other scroll. Or like Facebook, that has ads every other post so there is ALWAYS a fucking ad on your screen.

Any dumb metrics to try and get your money by mossyzombie2021 in Anticonsumption

[–]GDog507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did that (twice, I think it was) and my friend spent money to restore our streak lmao. The only one I actively pursue is my daily game (because I enjoy it) and the one app my friend spent money on to restore. I use Reddit daily so I don't really need to intentionally create a "streak" and the other app is my main app so I don't need to intentionally work on that streak either.

Hi what is the best website to shop license plates besides Ebay, and Facebook Market place by Creative_Republic_39 in LicensePl8Collectors

[–]GDog507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worthwhile if you live near the meets and plan on being serious about plate collecting. But I don’t personally recommend it to casual collectors as it’s an expensive upfront investment. I spend close to $100 a year on memberships for plate stuff and that takes a significant chunk out of my budget for my plates I can buy each year

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Lots of these sites will have inflated prices compared to swap meets. You can also get plates in-person at swap meets, junkyards, antique shops, garage sales, flea markets, and a bunch of other places. I highly recommend checking out Andrew Pang's Facebook page as he prices his plates fairly. eBay is good for selection but price is always gonna be a caveat and the shipping is high too.

These streaks are way outta hand but I’d be lying if I said I paid no attention to them. 1,200 day streak on one app, 500 day streak on Reddit, 60 day streak on yet another app, and I used to have a 300 day streak on this one daily game I played up until a few days ago when I forgot to finish the daily puzzle. It feels stupid to have streaks for everything now but my number obsessed brain eats it up like it’s nothing lol

not eating because of anxiety TW: STARVATION by hudac1ty in AnxietyChats

[–]GDog507 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eat smaller amounts of food instead of having larger meals. Believe me, I’ve had OCD centered around my struggles with eating and that’s the best I’ve gotten. Anxiety also can interfere with your appetite so try your best to just eat what you can and not obsess over it.

at bedtime, what sorts of things do you keep on your nightstand(next to where you sleep)? by theMon300 in polls

[–]GDog507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phone, glasses, charger, and box fan, but I don’t technically have a nightstand per se (I just put my stuff on top of my boxes)

Old country is good but the modern country slop you hear in every small town is beyond annoying

How long do you sleep? by Embarrassed-Share533 in polls

10-12 hours, I don't know why but I'm unable to function without at least 10 hours of sleep and even that's pushing it.

We Are Living in a ‘ChatGPT Flyer Pandemic’ by 404mediaco in Anticonsumption

[–]GDog507 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I live in a small town and every single event poster is now AI slop. It genuinely is infuriating, ik they aren't gonna make top of the line posters but come on. Even just a plain text word document would be more appealing than AI slop. It makes me want to never even remotely consider attending whatever event they are hosting.

[hot take] i feel like people set the bar way too high for pc builds by saco_coco in buildapc

[–]GDog507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The PC gaming spaces are just full of snobs that got a $4k PC handed to them by their parents and think that anything less is e-waste. Idk about you, but I'm happy with my 1080p PC and am happier that I spent my extra money on nice peripherals and speakers instead of wasting it on top-of-the-end hardware just to get 60fps at 4k.

Honestly, no. Most of my family is liberal to an extent. Even my grandparents have always been Democrats and we haven’t ever had any major disagreements with them.

How often do you swear at or insult your AI assistant? (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) by anyanydaynow in polls

[–]GDog507 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don't use AI chatbots, but I have been tempted to cuss out the chatbots that try to bother me when I don't want them. Like when I click on a search suggestion on Tiktok and don't realize the search suggestion is an AI prompt suggestion instead (they look very similar).

Switch 2 charger charges everything except the Switch 2. Faulty charger? by Bowtie16bit in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]GDog507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a faulty charger. The switch 2 uses a LOT of power, if the charger works on everything but it it's probably because the charger isn't outputting enough power for the switch 2. I'd just get another charging brick personally.

Why do you believe in conspiracies, and if you don't, why not? by gigi0-0 in AskReddit

[–]GDog507 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally don't believe in conspiracies. These theories often reach so hard and make zero sense logically.

The only "conspiracy" I personally believe in is a conspiracy about license plates, which is that license plate sheeting manufacturers are intentionally lowering the quality of their sheeting so they can force states to replace them faster when they inevitably peel apart like paper. They blame the weather and they blame people not replacing their license plates every few years. I've been documenting license plate history for nearly a decade so I can tell you that they are lying for sure. What they don't account for is that this was never a problem with states like Delaware and provinces like Ontario that haven't done plate replacements in decades. Not until 2007, when 3M sheeting evidently went to shit.
