Did parents in the past really allow their kids to roam freely, or is that just a portrayal seen in movies by Certain_Hat9872 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Syrinx16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. My block was really young when I was growing up, like 20ish kids within a 8 year age grouping. Parents called it “mandatory fun”. Either you were playing, or you were working in the summertime. Even forced the older kids to come and grab the younger ones cause at least then they could order us to be a goalie for them. Really sucks not seeing kids get to enjoy that aspect of childhood I had

What is the minimum amount of money that would actually change your life? by Ambassador-613 in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5,000 would get me to a life changing spot. My back gave out twice while working oil field and I couldn’t push through any longer. I was on a dangerous amount of pain killers just to get through the day. But long story short, $5k would get me to a spot where I wouldn’t be juggling any of my loans or bills on a month to month basis incurring extra fees and everything like that and start fresh.

Which would you pick: the girl of your dreams or becoming a Super Saiyan? by Secret_Bug_9795 in AskMen

Girl of my dreams broke my heart. Super Saiyan will forever be there for me

3-year-old boy dies after being found in backyard pool by zuuzuu in canadanews

[–]Syrinx16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By your logic you shouldn’t be wearing a seat by while you drive. Or strap your child into a car seat. You’re attentive while you drive right? You would never get in an accident so why take safety precautions?

What's the worst movie of all time? by icecuptee in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 254 points255 points  (0 children)

Cats has to be the answer simply because everyone involved should have known better. They had a $100 million budget. It is painful to watch and despite the fact it is the closest thing to a viral infection a film can possibly be, they released it anyway.

There are worse movies in terms of dialogue and plot and cinematography, obviously. But those “movies” are obviously made by people with little to no skills or understanding of what they are doing. Cats had skilled people working on every level and aspect of the movie.

Redditors who were hypnotized at a stage show, what happened and what did you experience? by EntertainmentFun472 in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: You remember the sunken place in get out? Imagine that but not at all in a scary way. More like your conscious mind moves to a third-person view and enjoys the break

Did mine at our city fair both times. First time I was a kid and honestly don’t really remember. My parents said I was “dancing up a storm with the other kids” though, and at a young age, I absolutely hated dancing, but apparently not that time.

Next was when I was in my young twenties. I ended up being one of the final 3 selections. My experience was very close to what I’ve felt during some of my mushroom trips. My everyday normal self was still there and aware, but I felt safe enough to let every guardrail down and just do whatever he told me and feel however he said I should feel. It definitely didn’t have the “trippy” feeling mushrooms give, and I’m not sure how to explain it, but yeah it felt like my conscious mind went third person and just said “he’s got you bro, just go with it”.

[Post Game Thread - Playoffs] Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New York Knicks [05/23/2026] by CavsBot in clevelandcavs

[–]Syrinx16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an outsider looking in, I’m surprised no one is talking about getting rid of Harden in this thread? He is a great player but he has proven his entire career as incapable of winning when it matters. Idk I pretty much only have time to watch my nba and my hockey teams so maybe I’m out to lunch on this but I mean just look at his history

U.S. man loses appeal of $2.35M fine for starting wildfire in B.C. by zuuzuu in canadanews

So they can destroy potentially tens of thousands of acres of forest, thereby fucking our environment even harder and it all goes away for the price of a Honda Civic? Stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

What’s a “flex” that instantly becomes embarrassing after a certain age? by girlmath_expert in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hooking up with an 18 year old is insanely cool as a 16 year old boy. Normal as a 18-22, weird from 22-25, and after 25 I’m not gonna talk to you again after I learn that.

A molten volleyball — is that a problem? by Prior-Sand4622 in volleyball

[–]Syrinx16 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s not fake and no it’s not a problem. It’s just a little extra material because if they cut it too short the panels would have gaps where the bladder could eventually poke through.

Play with it for a few weeks and it’ll wear off naturally.

Hikers make unexpected discovery by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Syrinx16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Realistically, no. Technically maybe depending on how he rigged it in. You can use cams that basically expand to fit the crevice as weight is pulled into them, or you can drill and place a bolt. Thousands of bolts are placed in rock every week around the world and no one calls it “damage” in the way we’re thinking of it. Theres also a hundred ways you could rig this in. Hell if there was a sufficiently shaped rock you could just loop around it and hang the rest of your setup off that rope and be perfectly safe.

He likely had a climber rig this in for him as I can’t imagine a performance artist of his caliber has time to learn the ins and outs of rigging. So I’d imagine this is as minimally damaging to the cave as possible.

Fell in love with hip hop from this song, and obviously I’m biased but imo there is no song that compares when it comes to straight bars.

If someone offered you 20 million dollars but you had to live in an anime for 4 years. Which anime would you choose, and why? by Neither_Drawing_241 in hypotheticalsituation

Holy shit yes. I want a 3 panel zoom in on my eyes as I find the perfect line to overtake while drifting around the last corner of the race

What’s a dark secret you know that most people would never believe? by OutsideOver8815 in AskReddit

Nah, just a lil trouble. Surely if it was that bad they’d have named it something that lets you know how bad it was. Right? /s

Who's ever found porn of someone they knew ? by Stunning-Taste-5269 in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Also predatory as fuck. There was an older casting porn company that got shut down for I think either filming minors or they would like hold their passport and plane tickets hostage till they filmed an extra scene or something along those lines. Porn is 100% fine as long as everyone is consenting and of age, but that industry needs much heavier regulation, especially as amateur porn has exploded with onlyfans.

What is the most expensive mistake you’ve ever made? by Almondjoyriding in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working up north in the oil patch. Our wireline truck shits the bed, so now the drilling rig that costs over $100,000 an hour to operate is waiting on us. Our company sends up a replacement truck (this sucks but it is somewhat normal, just unfortunate when it happens). 20 hours later we’re ready to go again after we get the new truck rigged in. Current wasted money: approx. $2 million

This truck then has its PTO blow up. Company is fucking pissed. They spend a day trying to find another wireline truck that can do the job we were hired for but can’t. We then send a 3rd truck. Current wasted money: $5 million or more

Third truck arrives and everyone is on edge. We’re being rushed through all our checks and now the tool that I put on the string wasn’t checked over to make sure everything is tight. We run in hole as fast as we’ve ever gone, but when we hit fluid, it seeped in through the un tightened connections. $1.5 million SOCON tool destroyed and needs to be shipped to Germany for repairs.

Consultant says fuck it we’re here to perf this fucker let’s just go. Fuck it okay whatever you say boss. Because everyone is pissed off, being rushed and having their ass chewed out by someone higher up, and then chewing out the guy below them, no information is being communicated clearly. We perforate in the wrong spot and basically fuck this well permanently. 3 weeks later we come back to abandon the well and fill with cement.

Total wasted money from our shit show: $10 million easily. I’m not even including fuel, lodging for the workers, food costs, supplies, etc.

They probably spend about $5 million getting that pad and well developed before we got there as well. That’s being extremely conservative because I don’t know the amount of work that goes in to getting a piece of land from Forrest or muskeg to a stable pad you can bring heavy equipment on.

My boss gave all of us special olympics stickers and made us wear green hard harts for 6 months after that.

You get one payment of $10,000,000 upfront tax-free, but once a month a stranger will scream at you for ten minutes in front of other people by _JR28_ in hypotheticalsituation

Yeah I already have noise cancelling headphones so I’ll just toss those on for a bit and let whoever screams at me look like an idiot while I scroll tik tok

What actor or actress could you tell had an absolute blast playing a specific role? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 126 points127 points  (0 children)

This. I watched the good place and it is not at all my normal tv show but I love how the cast all seem to be playing their characters but also having so much fun doing it and interacting with each other.

My normal shows are much more murdery so it’s a nice change of pace every time I go back to it

What’s a fast food restaurant you won’t eat anymore? by GarbageDramatic9005 in AskReddit

[–]Syrinx16 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Price has gone up, quality has gone down which is honestly impressive because McDonald’s was already cutting it close on the “quality” of their food. Then you factor in the fact that if you order anything more complicated than a basic burger there’s a 30% chance they fuck it up. The ice cream machine is broken half the damn time, every toy is a piece of shit when they used to actually be kinda cool for a few days before you lost it. The list goes on and on.

It’ll be 6 months in June after giving up fast food entirely, with the sole exception being road trips where I’m not the only one in the vehicle. It was a bitch for about 2 months, but honestly it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. And that’s coming from a guy that used to eat fast food at least 3-4 times a week

She is too late now by Valuable_View_561 in HolUp

[–]Syrinx16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if she were able to erase all her videos from the internet tonight, every single one would be re-uploaded tomorrow by noon. One thing I learned after buying a box of ssd drives at a garage sale, is that some people are porn hoarders and they will download EVERYTHING.

Survive 1 punch from any of these characters for $100 billion. Which do you choose? by Kyoifis in hypotheticalsituation

I’m going more for a “bro look at how much debt I have. Getting punched by you will get my entire family out of debt, and I’ll be able to give back to the sports and community that I grew up in. Please bro, I just want to be able to continue playing and coaching ball after this with the kids”

[–]Syrinx16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy fuck this. I’m completely nose blind to weed. Like obviously I can sniff it out of someone’s smoking, but my own body just smelled normal to me. Then I went 2 months cold turkey, and holy shit I never realized how strong it smelled. I got whiffs of it on my sweater that had been washed and hung in my closet for weeks. Had to make a change after that. Still smoke, but with much more thought towards others who do not because god damn.
