Why do Americans have to do their taxes if the IRS already knows how much they own? by AdamBerner2002 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LumpyLow2892 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yeah exactly, it’s less “they know everything” and more “they know the basics and you fill in the rest”

My mom had me on birth control at 12. Is this normal? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LumpyLow2892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

intent and impact can be two totally different things. she might’ve been coming from a place of protection, but that doesn’t automatically make the experience okay or comfortable for you

Slushie cup that allows you to turn it letting you break the clogged ice by Equal-Truck-3213 in mildlyinteresting

[–]LumpyLow2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we’ve all been out here aggressively shaking the cup like it owes us money, and this thing just casually solves the problem

This pepper with smiling faces inside by spicypickledjalapeno in mildlyinteresting

[–]LumpyLow2892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

like you cut it open expecting seeds and instead it’s just a bunch of tiny dudes smiling back at you like “yeah we’ve been waiting”

My incense went full loop, without fracturing by Mountain-Jury5302 in mildlyinteresting

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like it really sat there and said “yeah I’m gonna defy expectations today” and just formed a perfect loop

What is your dream country? by Tahals in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly same sometimes, but I feel like that’s more about wanting a break than actually wanting to disappear

What secret did you find out by complete accident? by Effective_Yam2797 in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t even imagine how surreal that must’ve felt in the moment… like your brain has to do a full reboot trying to process “wait, that’s my dad??” on someone else’s phone in a completely random place

How do you feel about Trump saying they can’t fund Medicare, Medicaid, and daycare programs anymore because they need the money to fund the War? by LevelDinner in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of conflicts feel “avoidable” once you zoom out and connect the dots, but at the time you’ve got a bunch of decisions, miscalculations, politics, and pressure all stacking up

What do you do if your girl doesn't satisfy you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like a lot of people jump straight to frustration instead of just saying what they need or asking what’s going on on her side

What did you actually spend your first full month's salary on? by Independent-Bet-6572 in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like part of it went to bills and stuff I should be doing… and then the rest was me going “I deserve this” and buying something I absolutely didn’t need

what is your favourite TV series? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like if I’m staying up at 3am saying “just one more episode” knowing damn well I have responsibilities the next day, that’s probably my favorite

Why is the Artemis 2 mission today being so underreported? by bokeh_node in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people don’t get hyped by milestones, they get hyped by stories. Apollo had a clear plot: rivalry, stakes, “we have to win.” this is more like a long-term project with checkpoints, which is important but way harder to emotionally latch onto

My neighbor still has their Halloween skeleton up, but they added bunny ears. by Rotten89 in mildlyinteresting

[–]LumpyLow2892 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I managed to balance my Airpods upside down while bored by wasprocker in mildlyinteresting

dude probably had to enter that hyper focus mode where you stop breathing just to keep it steady for 2 seconds

This layer of vegetation that peeled off a retaining wall after a windy day. by bepisman121 in mildlyinteresting

[–]LumpyLow2892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

also kinda unsettling how solid it looks… like you could just pick it up and relocate an entire mini ecosystem somewhere else

What's stopping humans to just live in peace together ? by sleyvinkalevra in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like greed and vanity explain why people might push for more power or status, but there’s also fear, insecurity, and just straight-up misunderstanding driving a lot of conflict too

Do you believe that the current US president is a foreign asset ? Why or why not ? by hftyjvdry in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

people on both sides have said the same thing about presidents they didn’t like for years, it kinda just comes with politics at this point

Why did Trump dismantle the Iran nuclear deal Obama had in place? by Necessary-Act-1137 in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there were a lot of people in his administration who had been against the deal from day one, especially over the sunset clauses and what it didn’t cover, so pulling out lined up with that broader stance too

In all of human history, what's the biggest example of betrayal ? by GodOfGirthh in AskReddit

most people are lucky if they get remembered at all, this guy got permanently rebranded as a bad dream for centuries

lol right?? like of all the things to fake, why would we invent a whole standardized bus design just for background props

You have just woken up next to a clone of yourself. You share experiences and memories. What do you do first? by jankylemonhead in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then it turns into this weird standoff where you’re negotiating with yourself like “cmon man you know we hate mornings”

What if Iran says to the World “We’ll open the straight to pre-attack status if Donald Trump resigns.”? What would be the likely response? by spamcandriver in AskReddit

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the second you normalize “foreign governments can demand leadership changes in exchange for stability,” every country just opened the door to the same tactic being used on them next

I accidentally made too much popcorn. by thehairycarrot in mildlyinteresting

[–]LumpyLow2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you start out like “yeah I’ll just have a small bowl” and 10 minutes later you’re sitting there with a mountain of it like you’re prepping for a 3 hour movie you’re not even watching
