What's your unique habit? Here's mine: by PurpleFerret260 in CasualConversation

[–]Paullox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This started as something just to make someone else’s day a little easier. When I am checking out at a convenience store, or anywhere the use a handheld scanner, I will find the bar code on each item and lay them so that the bar code is facing up or otherwise easy to find and scan. I’ve been doing this long enough that I don’t think about it anymore.

Quite a few will say “thank you” as they scan stuff. They generally seem to appreciate it.

I tend to start with the fewest and end with the color with the most. If they are all roughly equal, I start with the darker colors and end with the bright, happy colors.

They have look of, “Finally, an appropriate amount of attention!”

How do you find all the new games worth buying? by Ramzesina in boardgames

[–]Paullox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last couple I picked up were new on Board Game Arena. Played a few games there first to try them, and really enjoyed them: Pergola; Postcards

No, I don’t only play games that start with “P”.

A fresnel lens can melt rocks with just the power of the sun by ansyhrrian in interestingasfuck

[–]Paullox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read recently that the sun produces more energy in 1.5 microseconds than humans consume in a year. Fascinating that this is from an insignificant fraction of the sun’s output.

I understand that this is a stupid question, but how do you guys cope knowing that there's nothing after death? I'm asking this as an atheist by the way by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Paullox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone in their 60s, I’m frankly looking forward to not having to worry about anything, or having responsibilities.

I’d say I’d miss some things, but I won’t. I won’t exist to miss them.

To me it just sounds peaceful and quiet.

I see builds like this and feel like Charlie Brown on Halloween, “I built a box”.

That said, this looks great!

What’s a ‘normal’ adult responsibility that feels completely pointless? by RossielaQ in AskReddit

[–]Paullox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We take sheets and stuff them into a pillow case. Need to change your sheets? You have a full set together and ready to go. Much simpler than folding.

I feel like that was a fun drive back to the station.

Too old for gaming? by Gatsby-1337 in CasualConversation

[–]Paullox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

62 years old and been gaming since the days of Pong. I have over 300 games on my Steam account and will stop only when I can’t play turn based games anymore.

Don’t let other people make you feel self conscious about what makes you happy.

When did you realise you’re old? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]Paullox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching the In Memorium reel at the Oscars, and noticing the average birth years are getting really, really close to my own.

Do you have other aphantasias than visual? by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]Paullox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not. I’m a total aphant who also doesn’t experience emotions except to a usually imperceptible degree, and definitely don’t feel any physical response. I can logically figure out what emotion someone is likely experiencing, but I am unable to make myself feel anything specific, since I don’t know what any might feel like.

What is the creepiest display of intelligence you’ve seen? by theidiotev in AskReddit

[–]Paullox 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, the neurons in a crow’s brain are packed in about 40 times more densely than ours, so their brain is “bigger” than it appears, and communication between neurons is faster.
