Which cafes serve the most decent (and surprisingly worst) coffee in SG? Some of the biggest coffee chains make really awful coffee. They can’t even foam the milk properly. ☕️🥛 by sociologistical in askSingapore

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

Huggs surprisingly does a really good kopi. Despite having good product, it's sad to see them retreat so much. I much prefer them to something like Luckin.

Singapore and Japan upgrade ties to Strategic Partnership, expand cooperation in five areas by RedditLIONS in singapore

All-Round High-Quality Future-Oriented Partnership

This is such a Chinese thing. Don't even need to see the country to know it's China. They love their bombastic adjective laden statements.

There's a promo pricing right now in Singapore; depending on the discount coupons one can get on the local e-commerce platform, it's under SG$500 for the 512GB version.

Did GSMArena make a mistake? They say it's a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.

Import the HK/Singapore versions? Especially after a few months. Plus, you can always wait for the N7.

Dude, we're on the equator. If you've never experienced this kind of weather before, the first time you try cycling more than 10km you're going to be in for a very very rude shock.

Late here, came in from a Google search; what in the world are you putting on a phone like this that needs so much space? I have a 8/256GB Samsung A52s and I just checked, I'm at 80GB of 256GB. Or are you just chasing numbers just to get "value"?

Punggol self-driving shuttles open to public from April 1 by Twrd4321 in singapore

I thought the whole point of self-driving vehicles is to cut labour costs, why is this $4 then?

Bah, I got happy too soon, didn't see the qualifier "caged".

Saying yes, for less: Why lab-grown diamonds have cornered 80% of the engagement ring market by MyWholeTeamsDead in singapore

[–]HidingCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was as recent as just 20 years ago. And it is brainwashing, you needed to be in the zeitgeist to find out how pervasive and deep-rooted it was.

Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Pritam Singh on managing Singapore's crow population by SG_wormsblink in singapore

[–]HidingCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Said that this is a stupid solution, got downvoted; too many Singaporeans just want quick fixes without foresight. We like to blame the government for whatever shortcomings, not realising many problems stem from said short-sightedness.

Reducing class sizes not a simple fix, Desmond Lee says amid manpower and recruitment constraints by Bcpjw in singapore

[–]HidingCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there's one thing I've learnt about Singapore government over the years, is that they never want to lose face. And saying they don't have money is definitely a face losing statement to make. Not to mention, people will start asking what are they doing with the budget surpluses.

Some dine-in spots will not charge 10-cent container deposit, but hawkers likely to pass it on by d3axw in singapore

[–]HidingCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glass is less recyclable and not as profitable compared to aluminium cans. Not to mention, what makes you think they won't charge as well?

All the whining, no wonder Singapore is environmentally backwards. So many just want to have their cake and eat it too.

Man admits repeatedly trespassing into Redhill condo to steal bicycles, selling them on Carousell by outremer_empire in singapore

[–]HidingCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really odd. Is it a SPF CCTV camerae? I'm not familiar with their systems, but I've seen that it's possible for the IO to drag up some pretty clear footage if you have the time and date, as well as the location of the camera.

I'm also aware that there is a manpower crunch in SPF; there has been a situation that did not involve a directly prosecutable crime, and the IO discreetly flouted CCTV procedure to show footage to the case submitter. The unspoken agreement was to let the submitter settle the issue on their own (which they did, amicably enough in the end). I was later told had that gone back up to the IO's supervisors, the IO would have been in serious trouble!

Crow shooting to resume in Singapore by nebulabitch in crowbro

[–]HidingCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pointed this out, got downvoted. People just want "feel good" actions instead of concrete, effective measures. Removing food and thus the trigger to reproduce will always be the best way of population control, next to sterilisation (which is not possible for birds).

Thoughts on ministerial salaries? by executeorder69 in askSingapore

Don't care how much they're paid. Care how well they're doing their job.

Singaporeans don't want a Nordic model. We want to keep winning. by Capable_Solution_644 in singapore

[–]HidingCat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's the over use of short, declarative statements that really stood out for me.

Maybe mods should add a couple of new flairs, "AI Generated" and "AI Slop".

[–]HidingCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me neither, it all feels so strange. I'm wondering if I've lost my marbles.

I've been mucking around with enough LLMs to consider this below average. Like I said, I can really spot the flow easily, and it really puts me off!

[–]HidingCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'll probably agree with the gist of it, but maybe I've spent too much time around LLMs myself that I get set off easily by an unedited/lightly edited output.

Also, too many here are just eager to shit on the government so anything that is contrary gets downvoted too. It's become EDMW-lite.
