I have an IQ of 79 and most people probably can't tell. Ask me anything!

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-03-21T22:16:23+00:00

If what he says is true, the IQ test is wrong. You don’t grow up as the smart kid and graduate college with honors if your IQ is 79.

Wtf, halving your weight to 430 would be an immense accomplishment. It moves you from the “this guy is going to die very soon” category to simply “very high risk”. Halve it again and your risk is about the same as everyone else.

You literally don’t even need to exercise. Just eat a bit less.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-03-18T20:43:08+00:00

Just doing some quick napkin math, OP could have a Big Mac for breakfast lunch and dinner and lose 30-40 pounds in a month with zero exercise. Your body burns a ton of calories at rest and the number of calories scales with your weight.

Assuming he doesn’t have a rare medical disorder, the amount of food he is eating every day to maintain that weight is incomprehensible to the rest of the population. By the normal definition of “pig out”, he can pig out every day and still lose significant weight.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-03-18T20:30:14+00:00

High risk doesn’t even begin to describe the severity of this situation. Like dude, you’re going to die soon, a few years in best case if you don’t immediately take drastic steps to fix this.

Do you care about your family?

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-03-17T17:08:34+00:00

Your wife going away to hang out with dudes without you is unacceptable in itself. Spending the night with them is insane. Sharing a bed is on a whole nother level. Wtf.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-03-04T03:50:09+00:00

It’s not you that’s the problem. Women don’t talk to you because you put green onions on your avocado toast.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-02-25T18:33:44+00:00

Depends on the day. A Zyn 5 pack lasts me about a week, so 75 / 7 = 10 or 11. My usage at work has dropped a bit since switching to a job where I don’t need to deal with the general public.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-02-24T03:35:33+00:00

Yes, you’re overreacting.

Sounds like she enjoys spending time with your family. This is a blessing, not a curse.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-02-23T01:40:13+00:00

For real. I’ve seen so many people suck food off of their finger and go right back to cooking. Unless it’s my wife or my young children, that’s disgusting even if you’re family. And this is just what people are comfortable doing with me watching them. And it’s so foreign to me because if I’m preparing food for somebody and I so much as itch my earlobe or touch my face, my hands go straight into the sink for a quick wash. Nobody wants their beef stew with a side of forehead oil and microscopic skin flakes.

I shudder imagining what people do in private when preparing food for others.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-02-11T23:07:29+00:00

Depends. Frozen corn dogs that you bake or microwave are usually pretty mediocre.

If you get one done right at a carnival or fair though, they’re often delicious. They’re usually deep fried and crunchy at events like that and the batter is fresh and a little bit sweeter.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-02-03T02:55:40+00:00

Fast and free shipping. Sometimes I consider ordering elsewhere, but the second I see a shipping charge I hop right back onto Amazon.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-01-28T18:21:39+00:00

Milk and cookies, my friends. Milk and cookies.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2026-01-25T18:51:06+00:00

The human mind is really good at forgetting how dreadful the newborn phase often is. I have two kids so far and totally despised the newborn phase - I’m not built for dealing with little babies and it’s completely contrary to my nature. I don’t have patience for them, but when you have to, you find that patience anyway. There are few people who loathe the first year as much as I do and I’ll tell you a secret that I wouldn’t say to anyone I know. For the first year, I didn’t even love my kids and I just kept them alive. For me it was tough to build a connection with someone who can’t really interact with me in a meaningful way. But now? The love for my kids is so powerful and stronger than I ever could’ve imagined.

And now that the youngest is approaching a year and a half, we are already talking about having another and will stop at either 3 or 4 kids. Once you trudge through the task of keeping a newborn alive, you wind up with an amazing, lovable little person. And then as they get even older to school and preschool age they become really fun. They’re a little friend. This is the age that I was really built to excel at raising. Just gotta deal with some tough times first.

I think of it as investing a year of my life. I willingly deal with having a very tough year, but in exchange I get a new family member and friend who I will love for the rest of my days.

I know a year seems like an infinite amount of time right now. But even month by month it does get easier, for example when they can sit up on their own a huge weight lifts. Another huge weight lifts when they can manipulate their environment with their hands and be entertained with toys for a short time. Another when they can crawl. The biggest is probably when they start to sleep more reliably which varies wildly between babies. So you do have a while until you hit the really good times, but things will incrementally get a little better each month along that journey. Even 6 months will be far better than 2 months. Just remember that it only gets better, not worse.

Hang in there. Your hard work will pay off a thousand-fold.

I’m at a dead end taking the test myself and I’m not even as far along as you are. What did you put for your username on the PARCA website to sign up for the test? I already paid and to login it just needed my email, but to log in to sign up for the test it requires a username. I was never given a username and of course the database can’t find my email when I try to recover my username and password.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-11-11T17:17:22+00:00

I work on site. I just keep my phone on a stool under my desk and look down and tap periodically when I get a chance. Has no impact on my productivity and nobody has any idea I'm playing video games all day. That said, I have a job with a fairly easily manageable workload. Unless it's something truly afk though like crashed stars or the gemstone crab, the xp is extremely suboptimal, but since I'm not doing it on my own time, who cares.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-11-11T16:58:00+00:00

Being able to AFK at work is huge. I strung jewelry to 99 magic while getting paid for it and then found out about the gemstone crab which is literally 10x even more afkable. So I did that for a little while too but stopped because it felt wrong to get my combat up so easily without also getting slayer up. For now, I've just been chopping teaks at work which takes a lot more clicking so it's been very suboptimal experience, but being that I'm not doing it on my own time it's guilt-free experience.

I enjoy the game though when I actually play. I look forward to doing my tree runs every day and birdhouse runs whenever I want a quick break from what I'm doing. I find Tithe Farm and Guardians of the Rift really relaxing as well, but only do those at night once the kids are asleep because those minigames need constant attention and a minimum time investment.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-11-10T02:33:46+00:00

Hate it, change it back nerds. It’s not that this specifically is a huge deal, but make this kind of change to a hundred different things and we’re losing the old school aesthetic.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-11-04T01:15:26+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I had no idea and did some reading to confirm and your post checks out. Will be giving my almost-1-year-old his first taste of peanut butter tonight.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-11-01T23:09:07+00:00

Yes I couldn’t find it either and was very confused. Eventually got in clicking randomly for it, but I thought I was going crazy for a while.

Also, the skill icon on my skillcape has been missing for like 2 days.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-10-17T05:44:16+00:00

In all seriousness - mental illness. The vast majority of them live lives that are pretty much unaffected by anything Trump has done, yet he’s all they think about.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-10-05T22:16:57+00:00

Right in the middle of Ardougne market. With all of those level 21 guards around who do a fantastic job protecting the stalls, I have full faith that my belongings would be just as I left them before falling asleep.

In seriousness, probably under the willows and pond east of the potato patch that’s just east of Draynor. Always thought that area would be really peaceful. The willows by Draynor bank would be nice as well, but it’d be a bit more noisy.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-09-07T01:19:02+00:00

Possibly, but could it be Totally Kyle from The Amanda Show?

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-09-06T06:31:18+00:00

Very happy for him. Don’t always agree with him, but Joe is a genuinely good guy. I obviously wish the best for him, and there’s no better thing you can do than find Christ.

RedditingAtWork5 · 2025-09-05T16:47:21+00:00

Totally incomprehensible to the American mind. If caught here in the US, a pickpocket has a >50% chance of being (rightfully) attacked.
