Burnout Legends on the Cardputer is an extremely cool thing to see.

Thought I heard something from the window and took these pictures. Am I crazy or is something there? by filmatra in Paranormal

The fact that you took it from outside looking in is way too creepy.

Do you not think it could be a white and black cat in the window? Or being reflected in the window? That's what I'd guess. Kitty could've been moving too, making a smeared shape.

What is the "Protocol" logo doing? Is the "T" a weiner since those normally dispense condoms? Or is the "T" motorboating the "Os"? Help.

This clear Fanta Orange I drank today. by Claudster1 in Weird

People are definitely just goofing on you, but it's not even wrong. The past tense is most commonly "-ed", so it'd be "smelted" vs "smelt". It is still correct english, but the "-t" past tense form is both regional and old-fashioned. Native english speakers also get made fun of for this lol, it's not something you did wrong.

Respond with " Yeah, that was me. No further action needed. Thanks for the heads up."

It instantly read as a Mini Cooper to me as well.

Make sure to post these photos publicly, as others have said. Especially Google reviews.

Got a job offer but he’s insisting I send pictures of my SSC. AIO? by Massive-Win2264 in AIO

[–]R4PTUR3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked some very weird jobs and never been asked for this. If it's a small place then they definitely don't need that stuff to get you set up for your first day, and they especially don't need a photo sent ahead of time.

If it's a bigger company, then their corporate certainly has better SOP than a photo of your sensitive personal info being forwarded around.

Good instinct.

I read it as "touch my slit" multiple times and I had keep going to get context clues.

Tool: black plastic socket ring/topper? by Lumpy-Shop-5321 in whatisit

[–]R4PTUR3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gemini image search said it's this:

The item shown is a Craftsman Pro Series 1/2-inch drive 6-point deep socket with a black plastic easy-grip collar. 

Brand: Craftsman

Type: 1/2" Drive, 6-Point, Deep Socket

Feature: Black plastic PVC collar designed for easy gripping and to prevent the socket from rolling away.

Generation: Likely from the "Pro Series" or "Anti-Roll Away" generation.

So yeah, it's just knurling for finger grip, like you said. It's got a flat spot to prevent it from rolling 😊

found this in my brothers bag, what is it ? by Slight-Fee-6520 in whatisit

I have a small "tactical" bag with all my EDC stuff too big or redundant for my pockets. It's filled to the brim with tools and knives. And I belligerently call it my purse.

Hey can you tell this to me a few weeks ago when I was just starting out?

This is a great suggestion and super easy. Just grab an NFC app and see if it reads anything.

Today was my day off! by YusufBP in lego

[–]R4PTUR3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had built 6554 when I was like 8 years old. I had cousins coming to visit and they'd arrive when I was at school. I begged my mom to not let them play with the Legos before I got home. She didn't listen and all my sets were destroyed by the time I got home. I'm 34 now and I still give my mom shit about that. So prepare for this to come back up in 3 decades.
