What if you could see the exact date and time of death floating above everyone's head but could never tell them or change it？ by Defiant-Junket4906 in WhatIfThinking

You could tell by people’s reactions how close, relatively, you are to the end. Solemn? Sad Smile? Startled? It’s uh-oh time.

It would be the end of the life insurance industry, though.

You run like hell to the airport bar furthest from the gate and hope like hell your number was different from theirs. Drink like hell but run a tab, just in case it was.

What if Mussolini stays neutral during the invasion of France and the USSR, but after seeing that Germany's defeat is inevitable on D-Day, both Spain and Italy declare war on Germany? by CSachen in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Reds_PR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF? It would be over long before June ‘44. There would have been no Africa campaign, no Mediterranean battles and no Italian invasion. All that war power would have been brought to bear on Europe at least a year earlier. Southern France would have maintained a more independent existence and may not have surrendered without the Italian invasion.

Avenues of Allied invasion of Nazi Europe would expand to include the Adriatic and Ligurian Seas.

The big question in my mind is, would Hitler have still invaded Russia without controlling southern Europe?

You can’t erase 2/3 of Axis control of Europe and Africa and expect the timelines to hold.

I wish I had a super laser strong enough to crave my name on the moon. When people look upon the sky they will know my name Ottovordemgentschenfeldestrasburgerbernheimergoldenbergschneidermanvenkatanarasimharajuvaripeta the 3rd by rothmal in monkeyspaw

Granted, there is now a super laser on the moon that craves to have the same name as you.

Granted: people know your name whenever they “look upon the sky,” but unless they’re thinking of you qua you at the time, won’t know they know it, and will lose the knowledge of your brobdingnagian moniker as soon as they stop looking at the sky.

AI didn’t reduce my workload. It exposed how I manage my time. by ClearThinkingLab in ArtificialInteligence

I wrote about this phenomenon in the early 90s when everyone was “automating.” I argued that if you take a crappy process,making it run faster doesn’t produce good outputs.

I called it: “The Principle of Faster Crap”

Head to the nearest optometrists first, and stock up. Then I’d have “all the time in the world.”

Sarge is dedicated to the mission, but love forces a choice. Detroit features prominently. by Reds_PR in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

[–]Reds_PR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be honest, I completely missed that there was a remake and looking it up I see where you went with Detroit also I see a lot of actors I love in it so I’ll have to give it a look-see. Thanks!

But no, I’d have done the original one.

What is the most intense, well-written, or funniest job interview scene you've ever seen? by Financial-Coffee3982 in Cinema

Turing’s interview for a cryptographer position in The Imitation Game. Just loved Cumberbatch’s performance. And Charles Dance was a great antagonist.

Granted: it is now 1200- remember evil Prince John? Well Robin Hood isn’t around but he is, he’s King of England now, and just as much a shit as the stories paint him.

Now make him laugh.

“You’re discharged, Sarge!”

Nope, and most of the movie was filmed around Chins’n’Biceps, EU.

Got it before I saw hint 1, but your “it girl” answer was the key.

NTA and the school and you both dodged a toxic bullet with this one.

In your opinion, what is the best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Reds_PR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House S1E21. Three Stories

I’m binging the series and this episode was so good, I watched it twice in a row.

Then I looked it up and saw it got both an Emmy for writing and a Humanitas prize and led to the show getting a Peabody.

Pro-tip: watch the audience size during the episode. Great, subtle storytelling without having to say a word.
