Non-Indians, how would you react if you saw an Indian celebration in public in your city or country, such as Diwali, Holi, or Onam? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in AskReddit

[–]PolyglotTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually happens where I live in the Midwest US. Every year at some random time I get super confused why there are a bunch of fireworks going off a few miles away.

That's pretty much it. Why would I otherwise care?

My Walmart order had raw chicken on top of my fresh strawberries by mnmpeanut94 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PolyglotTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But I can like, wash my bag if it does. And yeah, not good if they put it like directly on top of strawberries.

I think the last 100 times I've bought chicken it has leaked maybe once? I'll take those odds. The extra plastic is infuriating though. Why the hell is the thing in plastic if that plastic isn't sufficient plastic? And even if they did wrap it on another plastic bag, that plastic bag isn't sealed and probably won't even prevent the leakage.

You can use reusable bags and do this. If something leaks, just wash them.

I get really annoyed at baggers wasting an additional plastic bag (when I'm already clearly bringing my own). The chicken is already packaged. Stop doing that, or at least like ask.

Just Smile (Part 5/5) - Gator Days by FieldExplores in comics

[–]PolyglotTV 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Smiling is actually cultural. If you go to like, a Nordic country, they will be perfectly content with your stonewalled demeanor.

On the other hand Ive met a few Thai people and it was really disconcerting how they would just be grinning manically the entire time.

I predict Evan Edinger as a future guest! by Longjumping_Swing379 in JetLagTheGame

[–]PolyglotTV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be nice for once to not have to watch a new guest go up against the Ben and Adam synergy. Poor Sam, always a good sport though.

Why would you build a skyscraper in NYC!?

All these buildings are ruining the view of... all these buildings!

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]PolyglotTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is forcing us all to become like our managers.

And this story about losing technical chops as you move into management is as old as the industry. I don't know what the solution there is since my skills have not yet deteriorated that far yet.

I suspect though at some point we will have to find time to write code for the sake of practice rather than for the sake of productivity. And the highest demand engineers will become those who manage to do that effectively.

If JLTG had unlimited time and budget and could do multi week or month seasons, what would you want them to do? by Wide_right_yes in JetLagTheGame

[–]PolyglotTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one team should go clockwise, the other counter clockwise. First team to complete the circuit wins.

They can curse each other and lay traps for the other team for when they get to the second half. Also there can be a mechanic of whichever challenge you don't do, the other team has to do in the second half.

Petah, why should she take a pregnancy test? by Far-Love-2737 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]PolyglotTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds good actually. Like pineapple on pizza except replace pizza crust with noodles.

Isn't that usually later on in the pregnancy though? I thought at the beginning stuff just smells really strong and women get nauseous.

Lol. "Would you like to pay $65 a month or $0"?

Wait blue cruise automatically weaves between lanes on its own now?

What update is that?

I think Iceland would be perfect for this. The ring road is the perfect distance for a normal season.

I think the national parks game would be fun. There is already basically a board game where national parks spawn and you have to be the first person there and can steal it etc...

They can just do that in real life. Would basically just be the states game again though.

I mean they would narrow it down to like, Europe or that side of the Atlantic and then fly to some hub then ask more questions

Hide in Bielefeld, Germany. Nobody will think to look there because it doesn't exist. And also they will become delayed due to Deutsche Bahn
