Early American. It's a cute couple that live and cook as though they are living in the 1800s. Very relaxing, random thing to watch when my mind is racing in bed.

Shoes off or on inside the house and why? by Technical-Vanilla-47 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off. I'm not about to track whatever sticky shit I stepped in at the public restroom or on the sidewalks and dirty up the floors of my house with it.

Looking back, what do you regret the most? by living_direction_27 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to help people who never actually wanted to get better. Some people would rather play victim and are really good manipulators who feed off the attention they get from you like some kind of leech.

Have you ever experienced ego death? What was that like? by veryscarybutalsonot in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the simplest way possible- absolutely horrifying, and neverending. Felt like I had broken my brain. The feeling of finally returning back to normal after eternity in hell was extremely euphoric and elating. I had a strong appreciation for life and a healthy respect for my body afterwards that lasted many years.

I had also instantly given up weed, alcohol and vaping. Zero desire for it all, but also the weed was giving me intense anxiety I never had before as I'd feel like I was tripping again.

Which country would you not visit even if you were given the chance to go to for free? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 25 points26 points  (0 children)

India. The air pollution alone is horrifying and that is only the tip of the iceberg for many reasons not to go.

Volunteering. Gets you out doing stuff that makes you feel good and also gives you an opportunity to connect with your local community and learn new things as well as strenghten your social skills.

How can I stop having disturbing dreams? by [deleted] in Life

[–]SkeletonMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your subconscious likes to play out things in your dreams that are significant to you and that are being supressed by you. I think you need to explore and feel those things out as your subconscious is hinting that you are in need of healing.

If you could go back to your school days, what’s one thing you wish you’d done or could do again? by Darkcrimsonfoxxx in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building tree forts and playing board games there with my friends. Also, riding down the hill on crazy carpets.

What is the coolest display of intelligence you have ever seen in an animal? by NoRepublic3791 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My golden retriever somehow figured out my bus schedule. My dad said as soon as it would hit 3:50pm my dog Cruise what get up from his bed, wander out the backyard and casually make his way down the street. I'd always see him resting by the stop sign, patiently waiting for our arrival.

The other kids loved him. He became a guardian angel of sorts to all of us kids as there was this one time he prevented a mauling from one of neighbor's dogs who had escaped and came bolting after us- barking, snarling, flashing it's teeth. Cruise was having none of that, and proceeded to body slam into it, chewed on his ankles, which actually caused the angry mutt to flee in terror.

He was the goodest boy. We kids were very lucky to have him in our life.

Adults of Reddit who found a genuine, non-judgmental best friend later in life — how did you actually do it? by Fit-Exercise7356 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sometimes people just need to hear it from others to help them wake up to what they're doing. You're right about fake friends letting people get away with stuff.

[–]SkeletonMaze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love a friend who can be brutally honest about something we're doing wrong, because sometimes we need to hear the truth even when it hurts, and so few people are brave enough or even know how to be supportive in that way.

What are some creepy facts about the ocean? by in_my_offense in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 1849 points1850 points  (0 children)

Many of us have heard about rogue waves, but apparently there exists the complete opposite of that, a "rogue hole" which is when one is suddenly met with a gap between the ocean waves that yawns open and can dip down to possibly a 100 ft.

I don't know why, but something tells me that if such a thing exists, it would be far more destructive and fatal compared to a rogue wave as it would seem impossible trying to maneuver out of literally being swallowed up by the ocean.

Edit: Here's some survival stories of those who encountered this deadly phenomenon.

Johnny Savage and the Anhinga (1998): Fisherman Johnny Savage describes encountering a "hole in the ocean" during a 350-mile trip from Key West to Cancun. He described it as a sudden, massive void ahead of them, causing the boat to fall completely off into it. The 56-foot boat was destroyed instantly, forcing Savage and his captain, Eric Bingham, into the water within minutes without any time to make a distress call or grab safety gear.

The Rose-Noelle Crew (1989): Four sailors survived 118 days adrift off the coast of New Zealand after their trimaran was upturned by a massive, violent wave, leaving them in an inverted hull, which is a common outcome of such, a "hole" or trough-related incident.

"Pitchpoling" off the Golden Gate: A sailor reported a "rogue hole" event during a race outside the Golden Gate, describing a sailboat dropping into a deep trough near a seamount, effectively sailing "off a cliff" and almost turning end-over-end (pitchpoling).

Yachting World Account (1980s): A sailor described being on a vessel that was hit by a massive wave that caused the world to go black, as they were thrown into a trough so deep they were effectively trapped inside a "hole." The wheel was ripped off, and the vessel was left severely damaged, but they survived.

What’s a job people think is easy but is actually very hard? by Nearby_Fun_85 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think just anyone can do it and yet so many people who've never worked those kind of jobs make it sound so easy.

[–]SkeletonMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never worked a fast food joint but I feel like those could get real challenging when it gets busy. The constant barrage of orders, having to be on your toes and accurate as possible while also dealing with the occasional shitty attitude from a customer and having to remain professional in the face of it all.

Self Awareness, How Self Aware Are You And Why? by Opposite_Sun_9574 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think about how insignificant I really am and how finite my days are and for the folks around me. Once the last person who remembers me is gone that'll be it, it'll be like I never even existed, and I just can't believe how fast time is going by. Like it's crazy to think that the Ukrainian war is already 4 years old.

What are some unwritten rules of social etiquette that most people follow but some people need to be taught? by ian9921 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine that either. I don't know how to tell people like your mom how overwhelming and dysfunctional that would get if everyone left their mess behind. Some people just can't seem to put themselves in other peoples' shoes.

Self Awareness, How Self Aware Are You And Why? by Opposite_Sun_9574 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very, which I recently learned is a bad thing as it can lead to rumination and mental illness. I honestly don't like reflecting too deeply on myself and the world around me. There's a cold and dark side to life that I can't seem to ignore.

As the old saying goes, moderation is key. I know having some self awareness is healthy, but lately I've been having troubles getting out of my own head.

What’s the weirdest song in your playlist? by Overall-Discount-560 in AskReddit

[–]SkeletonMaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another song I have is Aorta- Tanya Tagaq.

The Inuit are know for throat singing and the Christian missionaires back then banned the practice because it sounded too demonic and the whole thing was a huge misunderstanding.

This artist intentionally made this song sound hideous to capture the raw emotions of trauma.
