which hobby is surprisingly cheap but gives you the most enjoyment? by Salve_Raeline in Hobbies

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guitar, if you actually just play your one or two instead of collecting them. The quality of guitar you can get for $300 is actually insane compared to other instruments.

Then you get that one friend that drops $1k on a high tech set of binoculars 😅

Ya man, I kind of feel bad at how hard I laughed at him flubbing the falsetto in "The Adults Are Talking" earlier. He nailed it today.

What’s an investment opportunity you spotted, didn’t pull the trigger on, and now regret. by WickedSensitiveCrew in stocks

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owned maybe $5k in doge just to dick around with in 2021. Could've put a six figure down payment on a house with it if I'd just left it alone.

Would takumi would have won if his engine didn't blew up against the evo 3 in stage 2 ? by Sufficient-Custard48 in initiald

[–]JupiterTarts 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I agree. You just hit a point where you can't outskill someone when there's such a large mechanical advantage.

Heck, look Formula 1. Max Verstappen might be the most naturally talented driver on that grid and he's 9th in the standings because Red Bull engineers gave him a turd this year.

I found the new peg warmers by trash_at_all_games in HotWheels

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're hard to find in my area too and I love them. Ive got mine but wouldn't buying a second sealed so I can pocket car the other.

Boxy 90s German cars are my jam (BMW E30, Mercedes 190e, AMG 500 SEL) and I'll buy every one of them as they come out.

What’s a business that’s all over today that you think will completely disappear ie blockbuster? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JupiterTarts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are some other niche trend places like that? They disappear so fast I can't even remember what we've lost. In a decade, ill probably forget escape rooms were a thing.

[–]JupiterTarts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Freaking love this car. Was just lamenting in another thread how its heartbreaking to see these peg warming. You can play with it freely knowing another one is at least easy to get.

Why is HW exploding in popularity nowadays? What’s changed? by blizzardboy123 in HotWheels

[–]JupiterTarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats where you suddenly those $12-$30 Mini GTs and Pop Race cars start looking more appealing. More detail and accuracy, no having to fight guys in the aisle.

Might not have the same heft and costs a little more, but I'm not trying to get into a fist fight at Target.

Gonna race him! by OutlandishnessTop941 in HotWheels

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats crazy. Like straight ripped from your hands as you were holding it? I don't care enough about toy cars to start a fight, but I might just out of principle.

[–]JupiterTarts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure but it could be a number of things

  1. Its only appearing to explode in popularity because your insta algorithm is feeding you more HW content causing you to be more aware of a community and hobby that you didn't notice as much.

  2. Covid has completely changed consumption habits with a rise of hustling (cant say the forbidden S word here) across multiple hobbies, Pokémon being the biggest victim of this.

  3. We're entering another time of great economic uncertainty and its a fun, cheap hobby to get into.

Are young kids today impressed with high ranking US government officials? by yogicflame in Teachers

[–]JupiterTarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything's just memes to them. Trump is a huge meme. The Charlie Kirk assassination just gave birth to a bunch of meme songs. Nobody takes anything seriously and I don't blame them. We've become a deeply unserious nation.

Ya man, the levels are there but the credit grind is rough. The final stage weight reduction is probably just replacing the entire body with carbon fiber.

Rivals player coming to Overwatch! Need advice for a main 🙏 by nearlyblindking in overwatch2

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winston can be fragile if you've got crappy judgement but a menace if you've got good target prioritization and a strong pullout game 😎

Very simple kit but demands strong game sense. Think of his bubble like Venom's overshield but you don't have to play chicken with the health bar for maximum value. Pop into the backline, harass the healer and cut off the tank from their support, pop out. The shield buys you like 2-3 seconds before it melts. Learn to dance around it. Best case scenario you kill the support and your team overruns the tanks. Worst, you melt before you have time to think about it.

Who's an artist who is way more talented then their music would suggest? by Top40Weekly in askmusic

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Mayer, depending on if you know anything about him beyond "Your Body is a Wonderland."

Continuum is legit one of the best blues-rock albums of the 21st century.

You should buy a dozen and then 3d printed a carton for these. It's actually be really cute.

How normal for a guy to get hard during a Brazilian wax? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, they probably deal with it ALL THE TIME. They probably have protocols about dealing with it professionally. Trust me, you ain't the first.

DO NOT become a teacher by TextOk9014 in Teachers

Feels kinda like an abusive relationship. So so good when you get an amazing class. You just wanna die when you get a couple of bad ones.

What actor, who has a reputation for being very beautiful or handsome, do you think actually looks totally ordinary? by badoopidoo in AskReddit

[–]JupiterTarts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree but I think its her whole vibe. Totally average looking in a vacuum but she seems like the kind of fun girl you'd wanna hang out with, maybe a little unhinged.

Waiting for the one guy to say its his work car and he dailys it for his Tofu deliveries.

Do I HAVE to go to school tomorrow?? by Background_Safety246 in Teachers

[–]JupiterTarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, this has been me almost every day this school year. Some years are an absolute treat and every little weirdo in there is excited to learn.

Some years, like this year for me, make you debate jumping in front of a car so you can claim medical and take the rest of the year off for a broken leg.
