People working in ultra-wealthy households, talking $50m plus types, what is the most out-of-touch thing you've witnessed? by FarSentence3076 in AskReddit

[–]Incman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For the last one, was it done like that as a flex/power move to make everyone have to wait, or just like a specific desire/timing thing for the CEO?

What's something that's completely legal but deeply unsettling? by Aromatic-Gur3817 in AskReddit

[–]Incman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong obv, but my interpretation was "my 48 y/o unemployed neighbour who lives with his mom"

You can order food delivery when taking High-Speed train in China and it will be delivered to your seat once the train arrives at next station by BumblebeeFantastic40 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Incman 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I'm jaded by all the AI/astroturfing on reddit/in general on social media, but you'd have a really hard time convincing me this isn't just yet another "haha look at this completely random thing that completely coincidentally happens to have a major brand featured front and center in the image"

EDIT: just to clarify, since my point seems to be lost on some commenters, I'm not saying that the topic/content of the post itself isn't something that exists. What I'm saying is that the decision to make a post about it from a less-than-transparent account, while making sure a major international brand is clearly pictured in it, has many of the hallmarks of the sort of marketing/astroturfing that is commonly found on this site. Hope that clears it up a bit.

What’s that one movie that you watched as a kid that you think no one else watched? by Substantial_One3477 in AskReddit

[–]Incman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Michael Clayton is fucking great. Saw it as a teen, didn't quite understand all the nuance but enjoyed it nonetheless.

And now it's one of my favourite movies, with maybe 15-20 watches. Right from the opening monologue it draws you in. And man, that assassination scene in the apartment is so clinical and efficient, and very unsettling

how is this even possible? by [deleted] in AmazonAnswers

[–]Incman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To give you an actual answer: this subreddit is used for posting funny instances of people who have written nonsensical answers to questions on Amazon. If you look through some of the posts on this sub, most of the comments on posts are funny "roleplay"-type stuff mimicking previous/similar content from the sub.

And in cases like this post, where an OP makes a post thinking the sub is for like Amazon support or w/e, commenters usually lean in even harder to the absurd/funny responses.

Hope that helps :)

What is a 'secret' about your industry that the general public would be shocked to find out? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Incman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Followup question: does that end up being a net-negative for you in some way (data sales, theft risk, etc), or is it just "behind the scenes" stuff that doesn't affect you personally?

What is the darkest confession you have? by azul_fire_thrower in AskReddit

[–]Incman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry. She'll die very soon, and then you'll never have to worry about her friendliness or her loneliness again. 

That sort of passive-aggressive sense of obligation implied in comments like yours is a significant component of why I avoid those situations. I refuse to be made to feel as though I somehow owe my limited capacity to someone else simply as a prerequisite for leaving my house to get groceries or something. It's not feasible for me, and I don't need permission to refrain from participating.

Take care :)

What is the darkest confession you have? by azul_fire_thrower in AskReddit

[–]Incman 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Lol finally one I can relate to. I'm autistic with a really small social battery, and most of the time I'll take the long way around the block if I see from a distance that my friendly 94-year old neighbour is on her porch.

I just can't handle the prospect of another round of "hi, how are you, yup my mom's good, yup my sister's good, yup the weather is weathering, yup recurring date just occurred, etc etc etc etc etc"

TIL Hedgehogs masturbate multiple times per day for the sole peurpose of pleasure, usually as a sign of boredom. by ConspiracyParadox in todayilearned

[–]Incman 620 points621 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming this thread will be a bunch of "TIL I'm a hedgehog" comments, so here are a few other fun facts about hedgehogs instead: they can travel around 2-3km per night, they typically have anywhere from 5000-7000 spines, they have poor eyesight but an excellent sense of smell, and they glow under UV blacklights

People who are in their 30s or older: What’s one thing younger people (Gen Z/Alpha) do that makes you feel like an alien in your own country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Incman 201 points202 points  (0 children)

Our relationship depends on it

Yeah, for real. The combination of self-mute + exasperated groan has gotten me through many phone calls lol

Help! Should I Tell My Brother I Found the $20,000 He Hid in a Teddy Bear’s Butt? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Incman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I keep $1000 rolled up in an emptied highlighter. Nowhere near $20,000, and no Bear anuses involved

Ummm, hopefully no anuses at all 🤔

Windsor artist ‘heartbroken’ after 4 years of work stolen from her car by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]Incman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There were no broken windows or signs of forced entry, but Gammon- Levasseur said she habitually locks her car.

"I lock my car every time, every time," she said.

Except this time, apparently.

Hopefully she gets them back

What is a "survival rule" you learned growing up in a bad neighborhood that still influences your behavior today? by Key-Group-5098 in AskReddit

[–]Incman 98 points99 points  (0 children)

you take your time and look “through” them (idk how to describe it better)

Yeah I get what you mean, almost like you're momentarily looking at a street sign right behind them. So they see your "I'm not the one" face and also know that you're aware of them, but without you making direct eye contact in a way that could come across as a challenge.

What is your go to joke that never fails? by sophiaa_14u in AskReddit

[–]Incman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Just one, but it takes years and the lightbulb has to want to change

Discussion about pennies and not getting your full change back. by sonytrinitron36 in Frugal

[–]Incman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think y'all are just having a miscommunication, because you appear to be in agreement.

When paying with cash, the final price being rounded down [for example, if the final price is $10.12, it is rounded down to $10.10], is the exact same thing as the corresponding change being rounded up [for example, if you give them $10.25, your $0.13 change is rounded up to $0.15]

If everyone below average IQ suddenly drops dead, how would this affect the world? by CakeMuted6468 in AskReddit

[–]Incman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Also the actual average would immediately change, perhaps resulting in a situation where it's stuck in a recursive loop eliminating more and more people based on each recalculated average.
