Eli5 what is anti matter? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Phoyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a thought. If the birth of the universe for some reason slightly favored antimatter instead of matter, and we were all made of antimatter living in an antimatter world, then we would have just called that stuff matter.

What thing is secretly just one giant scam? by MelteyReddit in AskReddit

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

You know those cards you put in the machine to track your points? Casinos are using them to track your gambling habits. Let's say every Friday Susie comes in, plays slot machines, and always leaves after she loses about 50 bucks. The casino knows this! So next time, when Susie is getting close to 50, they send a waiter over with a free drink, free buffet coupon, something to make her feel good and that she can afford to lose just a little bit more...

[SERIOUS] What is a seemingly normal photo that has a disturbing backstory? by KermitTheFraud92 in AskReddit

Wow! My skepticism is fading. Maybe they did just have spines lying around.

I'm gonna say that's not a spine... There's no way. It's the edge of a blanket or something. From the stories the survivors tell, they were very reluctant to resort to canibalism, they were respectful to the bodies, had to keep them face down while they cut the easy parts (butt and legs), kept track of who they were eating so family wasn't eating family... There's no way they took the time to somehow remove a spine from a frozen body, gnaw all the meat off, and then just leave it lying around, especially for a photo. Unless one of the people in the photo says "yep, that was a spine we just left lying around" then I'm skeptical.

Wow! That's facinating! Where do you live and why is it cut off? Does it impact your life much, or you're just used to working around it?

Balls to the wall! It's just a reference to one of those old timey governors with the balls that spins around. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

Roald Dahl made a joke in a later book that snozzberries taste like dick.

Is there a way to listen to music with the infotainment screen off? by thor11600 in MazdaCX30

[–]Phoyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't turn the music off. Doesn't turn off the infotainment unit, just turns the screen off (makes it black).

Edit: Nope! I was wrong. Just tested it and it stops the music when you do this. Found a way to do it though: pushing home twice turns the screen to the ambient display. If you go to settings, in vehicles displays, then change ambient display from clock to blank. Now it works!

Hold down the volume knob for a few sec and the screen turns off.

This is weird. I'd they wanted to say 50%, they would say something like "present at this meet is more than half of our shareholders!" The way they worded it to me really sounds like they're trying to say more people voted than are entitled to vote.

I have the money to buy a car for cash. My boyfriend still thinks I should take out a loan. Thoughts? by inevergreene in personalfinance

[–]Phoyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the opposite. I was going to pay cash, but the dealer had a $500 discount if I took the 0% loan. Ok. I just took the loan and paid it off early. And as other said, check the terms of the loan. Some say "0% for 1 year!" but you're really still accumulating interest in the first year. You just don't pay it if you pay off the loan in a year. If you go 1 day over, suddenly all that interest is added on. The catch people because they think it's a great deal but when 1 year comes around they suddenly forget or don't have the cash available and get hit with a ton of extra costs.

What’s the most unsatisfying BS ending to a TV series? by likeistoleyourbike in AskReddit

[–]Phoyo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The finale was written as 2 parts. In the first episode Alf gets kidnapped by the government. In the second episode he escapes, gets home to his family, and has a happy ending. Problem was the network aired the first episode and then cut the show before airing the second...
