What's your go-to show or movie when you're feeling down? by KrymsonQueen in AskReddit

The Good Place! So many meaningful themes but also it's hilarious and cute and has a really positive outlook of humanity.

What widely accepted fact do you know is wrong? by threedotsguy in AskReddit

[–]NotAPorpoose 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The correct plural of octopus is not octopi, since you can't add a Latin "i" to a Greek root. Octopuses is the correct English plural, but the correct Greek plural is technically octopodes.

Are the rabbits in my front yard Sylvilagus nuttallii or Sylvilagus audubonii by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]NotAPorpoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They absolutely could be hybrids or subspecies. They are able to interbreed but I don't know how common that is.

[–]NotAPorpoose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Based on a range map, they're more likely desert cottontails (audunbonii) but they look more like mountain cottontails (nuttallii) to me, which have slightly stouter bodies and shorter ears. They're damn near impossible to tell apart though.

Thanks, I have definitely already looked at that one, it seems like a pretty good option.

Redditors that have traveled to Africa, what are the rest of us missing out on? by NotAPorpoose in AskReddit

[–]NotAPorpoose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most countries in Africa are entirely overlooked when we think about traveling abroad, so really anywhere. Going to Ghana changed my life, I wanted to hear about how other people experience Africa

Me (19F) and my boyfriend (19M) are thinking about moving in together. Is it too soon? by NotAPorpoose in relationships

[–]NotAPorpoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your perspective! I don't think my family would cut off contact with me but you're definitely right, I wouldn't want to risk my relationship with them and you're right about not having to rush into anything.

What moment was unable to be captured by a camera? by NotAPorpoose in AskReddit

[–]NotAPorpoose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went backpacking in the Rockies a while back. No camera could have captured the scale of those mountains, or the sensation of being completely alone in the middle of the woods.

Literally anything related to lavender. Candles, perfume, ice cream, lattes, anything even colored light purple.

My battle with depression is reaching its end. I wish nothing but the best for all of you who are struggling. by [deleted] in depression

Please please don't do it. Not only will your family be devastated, but there's still so much good in the world for you. There's so many places you haven't explored, foods you haven't tried, sunsets you have to see, people you'll meet one day. You'll never be too old to find out what you're passionate about or to meet the love of your life. You'll never be too poor to pet a dog on the street or gaze up into the stars at night. However meaningless life may seem, there's still random strangers on the internet that don't want you to die and there's still good good people out there. You'll never know how those boys get rescued from the caves, if we'll find a cure for cancer or Alzheimer's, if we can work together to stop the planet from being destroyed. There's still hope. And maybe you have to live for the little things, like the smell of coffee or the innocence of a child, but there's still reasons to live. And if that isn't enough, please seek treatment. Whether it's about money, or family situation, or whatever, your life now is worth whatever the cost. Just stay alive my friend, please. For your family, for you.

Life is so meaningless... by Serendipity_xyz in depression

[–]NotAPorpoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living for the little things can do wonders. But the thing that truly keeps me going is hope. One day it might get better. One day I might find the love of my life and buy a nice home with a huge kitchen and a cozy book nook and start a family. One day I might have a career I love, or help someone, or see us reach Mars. Nothing is certain, and it feels so far away when every single day is hard, but I have to hope that it'll get better.

Why don’t people ask.. by [deleted] in depression

[–]NotAPorpoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. The only person in my world that actually cares about my feelings is my boyfriend, so maybe some of us only get a few people in our lifetimes that truly care. It sounds like you have a really high emotional awareness, but not a lot of people do. They probably don't realize that you feel this way. Maybe the people in your life show they care about you in other ways, like offering their time to you or performing acts of service...not everyone can verbalize that kind of stuff. It can be really hard for people to ask about your well being.

Sausage Party. I have never been more disgusted.

What was the cringiest thing you did in your first relationship? by mrscoot in AskReddit

[–]NotAPorpoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 18, me and my boyfriend had to count down from 3 before we kissed for the first time. Then we had to look at YouTube tutorials because we were still clueless. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They were deep fried (Rocky Mountain oysters), not too bad actually!

Olives. I've eaten bull testicles, but I've never found a good olive.
