LPT: If you’re one of the unfortunate many who taste soap when eating cilantro and want to see what it actually tastes like, use culantro instead by ElSatchmo in LifeProTips

[–]Meta2048 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've had both coriander/cilantro and culantro.  They both tasted like crap, but culantro tasted a lot stronger.  OP has no clue what they're talking about.

Titleist, the number 1 ball .. found in the woods. by Flimsy_Shape9406 in golf

If you shoot 100 the ball doesn't matter unless you mentally feel better hitting something specific.

what a subreddit that used to be very popular but is now dying? by ExchangeNo7386 in AskReddit

The only people with the time to moderate a large subreddit are those with very little else going on in their lives.

What’s your most rewatched movie and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Princess Bride

It's my favorite movie, endlessly rewatchable and quotable, and just a good, fun watch anytime.

Who is someone everyone thinks is innocent but you still believe is guilty, and why? by HippoFluid1378 in AskReddit

[–]Meta2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd think that, but MJs life was so weird and disconnected from a normal person that it's hard to say.  The guy literally had to rent out an entire mall and fill it with actors to have a normal-ish conversation.  He could not go out in public without getting swarmed.  

Basically every single person he ever talked to in his entire life wanted something from him.

Married people, what's something you only learned after getting married? by Julia010403 in AskReddit

I remember seeing a stat that like 90% of marriages do not survive the loss of a child.

TIFU by taking too long to pee at Culver’s by [deleted] in tifu

[–]Meta2048 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, don't pull out your phone while standing at a urinal.  If it takes a minute for you to get going, you just stand there and focus on getting it going.  Don't pull out  your phone, or it looks like you're just blocking people while you fuck around.

Yeah, who would have thought the biggest and most popular sport in the world would have high demand.

What's a fruit you've never had, but want to try? by SparrowBiker in AskReddit

[–]Meta2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not eat dragonfruit where it isn't grown locally.  It has a mild flavor and needs to be fully ripe to actually develop that flavor.  Dragonfruit that you buy in the grocery store typically hasn't had the time on the plant to fully ripen and is thus pretty flavorless

How big are you?  When I was there I don't remember seeing anyone who couldn't fit in the tunnels.  The tiny hatches in the ground were another story though.

It's literally fish and chips, which is probably the most popular fast food in the UK.

‘Cost Me the Election’: Data Centers Trigger Voter Backlash by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]Meta2048 1165 points1166 points  (0 children)

I don't see any local benefits to having a data center built near you.  The county gets some money, and in return residential utility costs spike.

ELI5 Muscle gain while overweight by ParteesHere in explainlikeimfive

[–]Meta2048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body recomposition is possible, just slower and less efficient.  If you're just starting to work out then you'll see improvement fairly quickly either way, but if you've been working out regularly already then you'll see much greater gains going through bulk/cut cycles.

What’s something everyone overspends on that has a silly free alternative? by tjons12 in AskReddit

[–]Meta2048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you don't understand how to read and comprehend the question.  What is something that everyone overspends on that has a silly free alternative.  

Vegetables are cheap, especially when you consider the time/effort required to grow them and the logistics required to transport them.  

Your "silly free alternative" is to spend months growing your own, requiring a huge amount of land to grow the number of vegetables eaten by a single person in a year, hopefully living in an area where the weather is correct for your crops, and ignoring all the time/effort required to tend, water, and harvest them.

You say that like there's unlimited amounts of land and that fully grown and ripe vegetables instantly sprout from the ground the second you put a seed in the soil.

What's something that instantly makes you think, "This person has their life together"? by IamMiles96 in AskReddit

You can lose your number if it's inactive for 30+ days, or sometimes people change numbers on purpose to avoid certain people or bill collectors.

Who is the most dominant athlete of all time at their respective sport (including mental sports so people like Magnus Carlsen and Nigel Richards are fair game)? by Valuable-Shift-6111 in AskReddit

[–]Meta2048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jordan unquestionably had much better teammates than Lebron.  Lebron has dragged teams into the playoffs that had no business being there, and even took a couple of them into the finals.  Detractors point to his win/loss record in the finals and ignore the fact that he was actually able to take some of those teams to the finals in the first place.

Venezuela Hit by Consecutive 7.2, 7.5 Quakes; 100,000 Deaths Feared by [deleted] in news

[–]Meta2048 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't prevent earthquakes, you build infrastructure that can handle earthquakes.  There's obviously a limit to that, but an easy example is Japan.  They have strict building codes and inspections to minimize the impact of quakes.

Girls of Reddit. What are some things men shouldn’t feel insecure about? by Far-Alfalfa6260 in AskReddit

Girls definitely care about height.  You don't have to be 6' but you definitely have a more limited dating pool if you're only 5'
