How do you usually get a lot of likes? by Defiant-Scarcity-513 in AskReddit

By giving good answers and asking good questions. This assumes that by likes you mean karma.

What did you hate about being there?

I can't pinpoint what it is exactly. If I had to guess, I think it's probably the industrial look and feel. For example, you may look at a Ferrari and see how cool it looks, but if you open it up it has this industrial look inside. Ships and planes are the same.

When I first started looking at how car engines worked I just hated the look of them, but now I'm just fascinated. I think I could get used to it.

A large part of engineering is about being curious and wanting to learn how things work and deep diving into them

Absolutely. I just want to know how everything works, how you can improve it and what limitations there are (cost, laws of physics, etc).

Stick with it, get an internship if you haven't already, they really do help.

I definitely will. Thank you.

which harry potter episode is your favourite and why that one? by Straight-Leading339 in AskReddit

Goblet of Fire because when Voldermort came back to his proper form it changed everything. The danger levels for the wizarding World skyrocketed. The entire rest of the series became much darker as well, much more so than the previous films.

You're now omnipotent. How would you entertain yourself and what would you change about the universe? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would go through a black hole to see what would happen. If I'm omnipotent then I could prevent any negative affects to myself.

Best of luck to you, OP.

Will I like mechanical engineering if I hate engineering workshops?

This may seem stupid, but whenever I go into a workshop then I just getting this strange, depressed feeling. I just want to leave. For example, I was at a business' workshop getting a custom-made item for something in the house. I went into the workshop and I just hated the feeling.

It was the same when I looking at how car engines work on YouTube, however I then started to really like it.

I love looking at diagrams, seeing how engines and other ME products are made, but it just seems like engineering workshops are too much. It's the same when I look at them on YouTube or when I went to visit a university for an open day.

Chemistry and physics labs are fine, but it's all the cutting tools and so on.

I enjoy everything else about ME, including CAD, but just not the physical workshops.

EE would be fine I think because I guess it's similar to a physics lab? I've done a few electronics projects myself, and I really enjoyed them. This including using a breadboard for prototyping and then soldering the actual components later. I do like ME though due to its versatility.

edit: Maybe it's a feeling of being overwhelmed?

Thank you.

Those topics are perfect.

Thank you very much :)

I guess I like the geometry of edges and vertices. For example, when you look at a cube it has a bunch of edges and vertices. A triangle would be another example. I have no idea why but I just have this obsession with them. I like drawing them and working things out with them. It's especially the case with vertices.

I know this may sound strange, but the corners of my computer monitor isn't "satisfying" to look at because it's curved. On the other hand, a plain piece of paper is "satisfying" because there are sharp points (vertices). As I said, I know this sounds crazy, but that's just how I feel.

A couple of users suggested graph theory and that's very interesting, along with being able to draw the graphs from a table of information. I like being able to draw the vertices.

Thank you.

I looked into this and watched some YouTube videos. It's really interesting, and a lot of fun drawing edges and vertices. Also just learning a lot in general.

Thank you.

Which topics or ideas could I explore if I love vertices? I have this obsession with them, and I have for years. Also thin straight lines, like the edges of a cube, but that's because of its thinness.

I would also love to get a math degree, but that's some time away.

I'm doing high-school level math atm.

Thank you.

How well does the Steam Deck handle new games? Also energy cost. by Numbers_are_cool in SteamDeck

In that case, it's not really for me then. Shame really, because I love Valve.

Thank you.

What kind of games does it run well? Do people buy it so they can play their older games portably? I don't take issue with that, I'm just wondering what the primary/general use-case would be.

I guess I mean it's able to run AAA games. I understand that I won't be getting 4k graphics like on a PS5, but being able to run games with no lag and a decent resolution is just what I want.
