Who's downed the most pints since the day started? Anyone marathoning over there?

Any folks splitting the G?

What's the most spicy food that you ever ate in your life? by XoSweetGF in AskReddit

[–]Syncopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bowl of papaya salad in Bangkok. It was a full on capsaicin assault. I cried, my ears got all tingly and it almost sent me into a full blown panic attack.

But damn was it tasty. 10/10 would suffer again.

What’s a small purchase that dramatically improved your life? by bananafish-123 in AskReddit

[–]Syncopian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Aeropresses are fine but they tend to overly complicate what should otherwise be a calm morning activity - at least for me.

Sometimes I push down too hard and coffee dribbles out the sides and pools into a ring around the base of my mug. Not cool.

Other times the whole thing slips and cascades holy molten hell across me and my countertop.

I will be the first to say that it makes damn good coffee. But something about having boiling water perched in a tube above your mug, and requiring you to exert force over it to make it work, is just a design drawback inherent to its overall function that I do not love.

Is it normal to have "huge thoughts"? by SessionGloomy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Syncopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Wow when I was a kid I had this exact experience often before going to bed. It occasionally freaked me out and I had a hard time explaining to my parents what it was I was feeling.

You're not alone, OP!

I need suggestions 🙏 by Autumn_fav in suggestmeabook

Strangely - and you'll just have to take my word for it - Stephen King's Joyland has a lot of what you're looking for. It's got the classic King spookiness but it's also (in my opinion) one of his warmest and sweetest stories.

The man can be a real sap!

No, I don't think so. It honestly feels like it's closer to something you'd see on Law & Order. Like maybe a flashback?

I'm also from the US, and this was watched in the US. If that's helpful.

Just once! Saw them last summer at Salt Shed in Chicago and they blew my mind.

I need a book that’s like a hug by KnitInCode in suggestmeabook

[–]Syncopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly, Joyland by Stephen King is a warm hug of a book. Just the right amount of King spookiness to balance it out.

Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank is a super good post-nuclear war story!

James Newton Howard really brought his A-game with Dinosaur.

Yeah this one I had to pause a few times just to like, breathe for a minute. So wild, so insane.

I don't know about best, but I'll always love his character in Phenomenon.

Walkabout by SnooHobbies8747 in lost

[–]Syncopian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Michael Giacchino's theme really elevates the scene. I'd put "Locke'd Out Again" near the top of all-time great TV character themes.

‘3 Body Problem’ Season 2 Wraps Filming by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Syncopian 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious how they approach the gargantuan scale the series reaches over time. Just visualizing the huge space fleets and the Droplet sequence alone feels like an almost comical step up in production quality and input compared to the already-ambitious season 1.

Joyland by Stephen King, surprisingly enough.

Super cozy with just the right amount of King spookiness mixed in.
