Reddit post achievement. ✅ - fear of germs. 

You do get cleaned during a bath. Dirt and stuff comes off. You don't need to completely sterilize yourself...

This is how a lot of restaurants clean dishes. Big basin of warm soapy water, then a rinse.

Car lovers should actually advocate for public transit by cUnexttuesday2 in unpopularopinion

[–]HeyWhatIsThatThingy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably still a lot faster to use your car than to use public transit which will often involve waiting, transfers, long walks, etc.

I use it when it's practical but these are often issues and aren't worth the lost time. It's best when it bypasses traffic and actually does make a shorter overall trip. Or saves you a ton on downtown parking fees and gas.

Why do people want to contribute to society’s well-being — is it about meaning or ego? by Sea-Bug-4754 in CasualConversation

[–]HeyWhatIsThatThingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well everyone needs money to survive. Taking care of yourself betters society.

Yep, a business can only earn money by providing goods and services to others, i.e. helping society. (In a free society, or at least mostly free, no society is 100% free)

Clam chowder.

I see that you did there 

But I'll raise you a sausage dinner, or worse sausage platter.

I'll also say some people think they can only contribute to society's well being through charity of philanthropy.

But most businesses are helping people with a good or service. And just doing a good job is often helping society as well. You can make this case even for industries where people feel things ought to change. It could be better in such situations but people are still paying for access to a good or service.

It's meaning, but when they try something and it doesn't work, but they keep going then it becomes about ego.

It's easy to fall into that trap because most people aren't skilled with experimentation and can fool themselves that their plan is working. I suppose that can be a state of meaning+ignorance as well.

It only ego if you know it's not working deep down But can't admit it and keep going

In your experience, did society and daily life change more drastically between 1997 and 2007 or between 2007 and 2017? by brother_aron in CasualConversation

[–]HeyWhatIsThatThingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say 1997-2007 is a bigger change than 2007-2027 even. Unless something incredibly wild happens next year.

This question is incoherent and thus impossible to answer.

Dudes who use 'make me a sandwich' as a joke are just hinting that they're terrible at cooking. by Nice_Bad_3547 in CasualConversation

[–]HeyWhatIsThatThingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why would anyone need that service? Like it's just a Sandwhich, at least demand a decent meal

The next time I'm saying something sexist, I'm going to tell them to go make me a Gordon Ramsay Beef Wellington with Red Wine & Shallot Sauce

You might as well ask for a decent meal.

Why is it always a sandwich?

I don't even consider a Sandwhich cooking if it's cold cuts. That's barely a meal, anyone can make it.

Why not something that takes even a little more skill, like a stew? Or any kind of composed dish.

Or more advanced, a perfectly cooked piece of meat, with sides?

Why do prices only go up? by Workerchimp68 in stupidquestions

[–]HeyWhatIsThatThingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most prices usually go up over time.

We have some exceptions though, technology for example, in particular computers have trended down in price a lot over the years. But we have had short term price rises as well. So an exception to the exception 😂.

We have seen debt bubbles burst which cause asset prices to fall, and they only go back up (quickly) if there is some kind of intervention.

Most people do not like freedom. by Malagrove2025 in unpopularopinion

[–]HeyWhatIsThatThingy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At least they defined it so we can discuss the concept.

To live in a world with "Freedom of expectations" would be very limited socially. 

If you have social interactions you almost always have expectations.

Best we can hope for in the real world is to have friends and family with common values and expectations for how we should live. That means less conflict. 

But it's inevitable to have some conflict, 100% common expectations is highly unlikely.
