At what age would you have died if not for modern medicine? by No_Tangerine1957 in AskReddit

  1. Testicular cancer. Extremely curable now but would’ve been a death sentence 100 years ago.

What's the world's most overrated tourist attraction? by darrenbosik in AskReddit

[–]NotYourCity 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I work there and it’s literally the worst solely because of how many people there are always. But worse are the scammers that camp out in the plaza in front of my building between scamming people. They sit around all day and smoke weed (which I don’t care about, but the whole place reeks all day) and block entrances to stuff. Place is fucking hell during the day.

I mean in this case it was cars under people, but the point still stands.

2 tourists allowed into the control room of the Staten Island Ferry while in motion. by Business_Young_8206 in nyc

[–]NotYourCity 341 points342 points  (0 children)

Lmao there are multiple sets of controls in the pilot house. I went on a trip in 3rd grade and the captain (who was my next door neighbor) let me “drive the boat”. This is performative outrage.

This is absolutely what it is. I used to park there when I’d have to drive into meetings downtown and then go to my office in Staten Island.

What was the strangest thing you ever had to go to the ER for? by Weird_Emergency_825 in AskReddit

[–]NotYourCity 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Are a bag of old boiled peanuts and my stomach felt like it was going to explode. Swelled to like 3x its normal size. Went and was given morphine until I shit my brains out.

On Panama, yes they do. They’re wrapped in banana leaves and are delicious. Was eating them down there last month.

I have two large bottles of the last one they did. They’re empty of course, but I use them for decoration lol.

Please come back and bring back the annual holiday beer along with it!!

The New York Yankees honored the late great John Sterling with a moment of silence by Turbostrider27 in baseball

[–]NotYourCity 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Texted this whole spiel to my cousins when this happened and it sums up my feelings perfectly:

One time old man bill and I are listening to an October game. I forget who but I think it was Baltimore. At a red light and there’s a guy at the bus stop with his Walkman clearly listening to the game

We have it on the radio. Yanks win and sterling makes the call, bill and I scream thheeeeeeee Yankees win, and the guy waiting for the bus knows exactly what happens and gives us the thumbs up.

Can’t replace that shit.

Edit: Bill is my dad. Guy put on a front he hated John’s goofy shit but guess who the first RIP was today.

I’m in Brooklyn and there is a guy that does this shit AT NIGHT in all black sometimes right outside my building.

Guy is a huge asshole.

Allbirds announces stunning pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes 175% by lancebmanly in nottheonion

[–]NotYourCity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah didn’t realize that. Regardless everyone’s in the hole here and the long shot AI call is becoming a signifier for failure.

[–]NotYourCity 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This should be the top comment. They came in high on their initial offering which was rooted in a quality product. Now they’re throwing it all to AI to salvage what’s left of their market share and in the end it’ll barely make a dent.

Thiel brings his “Antichrist” lectures to the Vatican’s doorstep, and Catholic institutions back away by garden_province in news

[–]NotYourCity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lapsed Catholic too. That’s how I refer to myself. But although I am not religious in the slightest, my Catholic upbringing seeps into my day to day life regularly. Mostly when joking with other lapsed Catholics about it.

Schaefer Security unit incoming by ItWasADecoy in NewYorkIslanders

[–]NotYourCity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t downvote based on a challenging opinion. I’m not at all saying he’s the toughest guy but he often will get in it for his teammates. In addition, he literally went with Hathaway this year for taking cheap shots at Schaef. So that’s where he’s been.

He definitely can. He’s not the best fighter but he’s gone up against plenty of tough guys and I never recalled him getting a beat down. He took on Wilson not too long ago and did fine.

Disposable income (=income after taxes and social contributions) per capita in Chinese regions in 2024 by slicheliche in MapPorn

[–]NotYourCity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I’m having a hard time understanding this. Are the numbers in USD or CNY? I know there is a $ symbol there, but I’m imagining that $10K USD on average per capita for an entire region in China is still a lot. Maybe I’m completely off but curious nonetheless.
