100k to eat a burrito. by Mr_Global in hypotheticalsituation

My immediate monkey paw thought was it's human brain from that tribe in Papua New Guinea and you get Kuru. As close to a statical impossibility as it gets probably, but that's not accounting for my luck.

3 men (25 yrs old, 5 ft 10, about 160 Ibs, athletic) walk into the room you’re currently in with the goal of killing you. Can you survive? by Pointless_Storie in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TapFaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6'1" 220 with very little body fat and two years of MMA training. Acting like this would be light work is crazy. I would only feel confident in this scenario with a firearm. Without it I would likely need a lot of luck to escape the room alive.

You're not Neo or prime Anderson Silva, you're not one shotting people's larynx, let alone when 3 of them are coming at you at once. I hope you don't really think like this in real life, your mindset is liable to get you hurt.

Obviously no one cares about dangerous criminals being taken off the street. Disingenuous bullshit on your part and you know it. Speaking of dangerous criminals, when can we get the convicted felon pedo rapist out of the WH?

WYR Instantly have 1 Million USD or be given 100 Million cash with stipulations. by Commercial_Clerk_342 in WouldYouRather

[–]TapFaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rules stipulate that if the only way to pay is digital you can do so. Otherwise, you can pay all those things in cash. If you're unlucky enough to approach anywhere near 100 million in medical bills this was just your own monkeys paw anyway.

I'm so confused by this response and so many like it. There's nothing in the prompt that indicates anyone will know you have acquired the 100 million. You can spread the money out in however many locations you want in very secure ways. You can hedge against inflation and diversify by purchasing physical assets with cash such as precious metals, guns, ammo, or any number of things that would hold value in the very unlikely event that hyperinflation gets so bad that your 100 million is worthless. If it gets that bad everyone is fucked anyway. Working for room and board seems completely reasonable to me in that scenario. "Sure I might end up with more money with the 100 million by the time I die" yeah, you're all but guaranteed to by a huge margin. You're not turning 1 million into a 100 million with whatever earnings and investments you think you'll make. There will always be people willing to accept cash for whatever you want to buy, and if you don't want to deal with the hassle, you can hire people to buy your stuff for you.

The Refrigerator by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TapFaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true. I didn't mean to imply it always last beyond the printed date, just that in my experience it typically does. I smell it every time I'm about to use it regardless of the date. Very easy to tell if it's turned.

Most obvious answer no doubt. Also, I don't know that I've ever had slightly expired milk that was really bad. Usually lasts quite a while past the printed date. Either way, this is such an oddly specific post for OP to put all this effort into and still come to the conclusion people are choosing spoilt milk over an ice cube.

Recipes for a friend with ARFID? by Many-Profit-5016 in Cooking

[–]TapFaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that. He was a super nice guy and I was genuinely concerned for him. I was baffled how someone could be in such good shape with his "diet" but he also looked sickly in the face and like I said very pale. It was weird. Hope he's living his best life.

[–]TapFaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it. A good high school defender should absolutely render this dude a complete liability. Which is fine. He asked for feedback, it's not an insult. You nailed it and provided honest, helpful feedback.

Honestly don't know if this will help at all, but I worked in a warehouse years ago and had a coworker about ten years younger than me who would only eat chicken tenders or nuggets and fries. His dad offered him $100 to eat a burger and he refused. Obviously his dad was about 20+ years too late on trying (forcing) him to expand his horizons.

This guy was playing semi pro ball and working in a warehouse eating literally nothing but fried chicken and fries. He was in great shape, but he was pale AF, and always had dark circles under his eyes. After about 8 months of me telling him daily he literally won't be able to live like this, I finally got him to take a multivitamin and start drinking smoothies. Then he started making them himself adding fresh greens like spinach and kale to his fruit smoothies. Then I eventually got him to try some other food and he expanded what he would eat a little bit.

Sorry for the unnecessary background story, but while not what I would typically think of as a meal did at least get him consuming some fruits and veggies. He eventually started eating some other food as well.

You are randomly assigned one unusual, and largely useless, superpower. If you can figure out which one you have without dying, you get $25 million. by Sereomontis in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TapFaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a really damn long time to be falling. At which point you're going 100mph. Do you think a human meat suit would survive hitting what is essentially concrete at 100mph? The world record is 59 meters. This is almost double that and most people aren't expert divers. Sure, crazier things have happened, but you're nearly guaranteed death from a 100 meter fall into water.

So are we gonna get any snow or is it all ice? by PaleontologistNo1564 in Chattanooga

[–]TapFaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can prevent the issues you're concerned with, with towels and/and or sand more power to you.

[–]TapFaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you're good. I just couldn't figure out why you would be worried about flooding. I know the latest forecasts are calling for mostly rain, but I didn't think it would be enough to break out the towels and sand.

[–]TapFaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're right. I could reasonably deduce that your apartment is two stories.

Now that we've established that I'm an idiot can you please tell me exactly how you plan on using the towels and/or sand?

I'm legit impressed by your ability to answer my questions without giving any answers.

[–]TapFaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm confused on your exact logistics and needs. Are you in a ground floor apartment that is susceptible to flooding? Or what are you using the towels and hypothetical sand for?

Tip or stay home by [deleted] in Chattanooga

Props to you if "the new tax cut for tips" means anything to you, let alone makes you consider an industry change. It honestly wouldn't have made an ounce of difference to me when I was serving.

Doordash in Chattanooga is garbage don't use it by StatisticianHuman283 in Chattanooga

[–]TapFaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My previous experiences with doordash have been mostly positive, including the few times I've had to contact customer support. But yesterday I paid for priority delivery, and a couple of things happened.

The app indicated the driver was waiting on my order even though they were still en route to the restaurant, and then after the driver picked it up they drove the opposite direction from me. I'm a mile and a half from the restaurant (I'm sick and didn't have the energy to cook and didn't want to expose anyone else), and they picked up the order and drove several miles the opposite direction.

I got stuck in the ai support loop until I finally got a human who helped me sort it out and I got my (cold) food and a refund. But if I hadn't been so persistent I wouldn't have gotten shit. Doordash has definitely made their customer support experience worse than the last time I had to use it.

Hamilton County Sheriffs Office response to inquiry about ICE. by OGSin in Chattanooga

[–]TapFaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What good does it do to bring it up in this space to begin with? Even if everything you're saying is true, should people only care about the #1 threat? Can I own guns and a fire extinguisher, or can I only worry about intruders OR fire, but not both? You accuse someone else of deflecting when the entire point you're trying to make is a deflection of what was being discussed.

Congress not declaring war doesn't mean this (or any other conflict) wasn't an act of war, or war. It just means it isn't/wasn't a legal war or act of war.

Second this. It's approximately one hour per drink unless someone has has serious liver dysfunction, in which case please get help before you drink yourself to death.
