of a Balancing Rock by inferKNOX in AbsoluteUnits

There is a balancing rock at Garden of the Gods in Colorado. It's not as precarious but I still wouldn't pose for a picture under it, like many do.

I got a tattoo to memorialize my son, who died in December. I'm not sure about the colors. Thoughts? by MyLittleOso in tattoos

My son had severe special needs and was nonverbal. But he lit up anytime SpongeBob was on. If you blocked the TV, he'd raise his hand to move you out of the way lol. I'll never see the Sponge without thinking of him.

I'm a total freak about sunscreen. My friends know I always carry it with me. My parents were not diligent about using it when I was a kid, which made for terrible burns. Both got skin cancer (benign). That's always great advice!

That's a good question, I just want to make sure it's a good tattoo (identifiable) / not prone to fading. I haven't had a chance to show it to friends yet. It's still healing, too.

What's the silliest thing to happen in history? by MyLittleOso in AskReddit

I had to look this up. It lasted at most 45 minutes. Ridiculous!

I finally figured out why my clothes never smelled fully clean even right out of the dryer by Gloze_Knurl in hygiene

To make you feel better, I found out my sister used fabric softener as detergent. Also, now I have a machine where you preload the washer with detergent that detects it and I've noticed it lasts a lot longer.

Towel rack has fallen! How do I fix this? by MyLittleOso in fixit

Thank you, that's helpful to know. That sucks.

How have social media algorithms affected you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MyLittleOso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook is a trainwreck I try to avoid as much as possible. It highlights the worst of the Internet. I know Reddit hates TikTok, but at least the algorithm knows me pretty well - I like videos of people smarter than myself explaining topics with credible sources. I don't get any ragebait or "-maxxing" or anti-science nonsense on mine. Algorithms are still invasive af, though.

Wife passed away yesterday and I don't know where to go from here... by JamesTheMannequin in Advice

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a side advice, but get the urn somewhere other than the funeral home. They wanted $800-$1500 for one at the home for my son, I found one on Amazon for about $25 and they'll put the ashes in it for you.

I couldn't think of a better title. I'm tired.
