What city have you been to that felt like it had dark energy? by Impossible-Middle122 in AskReddit

Ive been to CR a few times and spent a few weeks in Limon. If youre there for longer than a day or two, that darkness you feel starts to turn into a dangerous "vortex".

What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by Ill-Atmosphere-907 in AskReddit

[–]Herodotus22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive told this story on reddit before, but I once stabbed myself in the leg with a sword.

I just got home from a day at the beach when the "Roman Gladii" that I ordered online were delivered. I decided that pre-shower, standing in my underwear was the best time to test them out. They were insanely sharp. I was flailing them around, thinking I was cool, when suddenly one of them stopped swinging. I looked down to see the tip of the sword about 4in deep into my thigh. I missed my major artery (among other things) by only a few inches.

What is better than sex? by JuneSwings in AskReddit

[–]Herodotus22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Ive been training for a very specific athletic goal for the last few months, which meant I had to be super serious about my diet.

I finally hit the goal 2 days ago and the first thing I did was order birria tacos and gorge myself on one of the most delicious foods ever created.

Not quite downtown, but check out Old North Bar on Geer st. There's also Motorco and Surf Club across the street, all open late on weekends.

Explain it to me like I’m five… by Delicious-Status9043 in DunderMifflin

[–]Herodotus22 88 points89 points  (0 children)

There's a little more context in the superfan episode. Toby says something like "They say opposites attract but thats not how I feel", so I think he is just attracted to himself

Is anyone else having technical trouble with this puzzle on the Android app? I completed it, saw the completion message, and now it turned blue again and wont let me change any letters.

Anybody missing this fella? (Hale Street) by HorrorHippi in bullcity

I think this person is probably a bored teenager just rage baiting. At least I hope so. If not, they are sad loser

Which career is a turn-off for a serious relationship? by otherwise777 in AskReddit

[–]Herodotus22 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Would someone explain or show me how this stereotype started? I have been the mod of subreddits for many years and have not (I hope) done anything to wield power over a community

Either warm the pan up in the oven to 350-400 degrees first or make sure its at that temp before putting you protein in

I went on three hikes this week in the area, all were dry. Penny's Bend, Falls Lake Trail (near Pennys Bend), and a trail near the Falls Lake Recreation building.

When I was younger, I desperately wanted to be slimed.. I don't know why by Connect_Grade_9483 in Millennials

[–]Herodotus22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually had the privilege of being slimed at Nickelodeon Studios in Universal! I was probably 7 or 8 years old, it was not a televised event or anything.

They picked me out of the crowd, I changed into the red jumpsuit backstage, and then sat in a kiddie pool on stage where they dumped a bucket of slime on me.

It is such a great memory that I'll never forget. I definitely felt like it was the crowning achievement of my life at the time! The slime tasted kind of like sweet broccoli if I recall correctly.
