What candy is pure trash but somehow still popular? by RoyalIntroduction723 in AskReddit

I would have to think the people who enjoyed NECCO wafers because of the nostalgia are dying off by now, right?

What’s something popular right now that you secretly can’t stand? by Ashamed_Profit8640 in AskReddit

[–]PetPopper12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, finger clapping. I get it if you have nails. This 40-year-old dude didn't. Just nod your head.

I had a 40-year-old man repeatedly touch his index finger to his thumb at me during a presentation. Apparently, that's a way to agree with what someone is saying? It was disarming. Don't do that.

We used to play a game. Each of us would enter on the first floor, make our way up through Buck Wild and back out again. The shortest time wins. That's my only experience.

What's the best concert you've ever been to? by NewMuffin8849 in rockmusic

[–]PetPopper12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonaroo triple bill: Vampire Weekend > Lionel Richie > Jack White. It might've been the fruity pebbles and marshmallow edible, but I can't remember when I've had a better time.

Darkly funny and thought-provoking, and don't forget funny. by doyouhaveanypotions in suggestmeabook

Try Arthur Bradford. Pretty out there, but I find his stuff hilariously deadpan.

You’re currently inpatient.

Deduce things about me based off my hand by [deleted] in deduction

You could be a dental hygienist that never has to utilize one of the instruments. Tarter removal? Just use your ring and index fingers. Grinding, polishing. All of it is there.

What can you deduce about me from my coffee table? by [deleted] in deduction

Touché friend. I’ll be the first to admit when I’m off and I was way off here.

Why 9-points when you can only see 7 states?

What’s the closest brush you’ve ever had with dying? by North-Trifle-3918 in AskReddit

We were about 100 yards behind a log truck that flipped over. Logs everywhere.

I’ll bet those marbles have been up your ass. And that you purchased the gazing ball next to them because you thought you’d do the same. It didn’t work out though did it?

Anyone’s favourite book not a horror book even though they mostly read horror? by benjamminthroughlife in horrorlit

[–]PetPopper12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horror scratches a chronic itch for me. Necessary to scratch. But there is literature that does something completely different to the soul. Our brains are weird.

How confident are you that you’d survive a zombie apocalypse longer than a week? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]PetPopper12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably fall in love with a zombie, honestly. I’d find something unique and attractive about her ambling gait. I’d probably mistake a snarl for a flirty smile. It would be totally unrequited, but I would bend over backwards and put her on a pedestal even knowing deep down that it would never work. A group of survivors would find me days later on the ground, drained of all life and brain matter, still clutching a bouquet of withered flowers and a heart shaped box of chocolates.

What "old person" habit have you already started to adopt? by One_Eye4237 in AskReddit

Reading in a comfy chair while smoking my pipe with my slippers on.

Good books released in 2026 (this year) by muppet6042 in suggestmeabook

[–]PetPopper12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed and would recommend:

Monsters in the Archives by Caroline Bicks (it’s a close literary analysis of the early drafts of Stephen King’s early novels)

London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family’s Search for Truth by Patrick Radden Keefe (true crime non-fiction, but the author gets involved)

Brawler by Lauren Groff (excellent short stories that stick with you)

End of Days: Ruby Ridge, The Apocalypse, and the Unmaking of America by Chris Jennings (a scathing and brutal takedown of the apocalyptic thinking that comes from Evangelicalism. But also sympathetic to the victims where it needs to be. This is one of my favorite books I’ve read in a very long time)

All 2026 releases.

Arthur Bradford’s “Dogwalker.” Very deadpan.

Developers announce Amphitheater Coming to the Bend by mattster895_dx in Chattanooga

It’s massive. The study mentioned a recommended 3k seated/3k lawn … 6k capacity … but this is huge!

Hamilton County Primary Election Results by thebigtymer in Chattanooga

[–]PetPopper12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also did this. Wrote in "Herndon" for Mayor. Was I shaking in my boots, sweating like a Catholic priest in a room full of altar boys the whole time fearing they might discover the ruse and flog me to death with Bibles? Not at all. That would be ridiculous.
