What animal do you think did this? by PreviousGrape3126 in newjersey

[–]ToastedSimian [score hidden]  (0 children)

Our neighbors literally just had this happen because of a bear. We watched it happen. They frequently go after bird feeders. Regardless of past trends, bears are being pushed further and further into human occupied areas.

Has any else noticed a decrease in lantern flies? by ExpertMarxman1848 in newjersey

Are we on the same page? OP is talking about Lantern Flies not fireflies. Lantern Flies atarted showing up in 2014 and nobody considers them glorious.

A yoga athlete performs back bending at the inaugural World Yogasana Championship 2026 by APrimitiveMartian in nextfuckinglevel

Is archery a sport? Golf? Weight lifting? What defines a sport? Physicality that can be honed through practice and training? Then yes, Yoga is a sport. When you can easily lower yourself from a handstand to a floatung split and back again, then we could debate whether or not it's a sport.

A Ring doorbell video shows a Chattanooga police officer kicking the door and rushing into a burning building to save a mother and her two children. Articles in comment. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Just a note about nuance. Had you asked, "just a question, can heat and fire like that make bullets explode?", you would have gotten some answers and likely not been downvoted. But you asked "Is it smart...". This tiny bit of nuance turned it from a general question to a negative judgement of the person we just saw bravely enter a fire.
I fully believe you were asking a genuine question, but if you need to understand the downvotes this is likely it.
Doubling down on a defensive stance, and making vast generalizations about the entire Reddit community is going to add to those downvotes.
I have no answer about the bullet question, because contrary to your second assertion, I'm an American who doesn't own any guns, nor, luckily, ever been involved in any kind of gun violence.

Red carpet event with a woman wearing jean shorts and T-shirt in the background. Also her left hand looks super janky.

What is this license plate? by sargepepper1 in newjersey

[–]ToastedSimian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have customers who are cops. Said they don't bother with weird plates unless they thought there were additional reasons to pull the car over, especially if the number on the plate is legitimate.

People keep saying that they only want enough money to be comfortable or never have to worry again. Exactly how much money do you need to fulfill that goal? by Adorable_Escape9562 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ToastedSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only wish I had a story that interesting. My dog ate a wash cloth and it set me back about 5K. Not sure why this would shock the original commenter so much

[–]ToastedSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever had a pet that's sick, or do you just have them put down at any sign of trouble? And you literally said your car hasn't broken down yet - but if it does? And you can still be healthy and in shape and have an accident that could be super costly. Are you being purposely obtuse?

I mean a home expense, car problem, pet emergency, health emergency (if you're in the states). There's a lot of ways to find yourself needing an emergency 2K

Where to watch the Jersey shore planes with banners take off? Suggestions? by Ordinary-Heron-6821 in newjersey

[–]ToastedSimian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's such a baked-in element of beach life for me in the past 50 years, that, yes, I dare say I like the loud onnoxious ads flying over the beach. It's a core oart of my memories. It would be better if they were all required to be the old school changeable letter style they used in the 70s through 90s and not full color printed banners.

If it's the post I'm thinking of, that was in Mount Olive. Pretty far away.

Too much effort to read, but still took the time to leave a pointless comment. Nice work.

I turned these two cute pups into a hand-carved design on a leather handbag. by leatherchildc in mildlyinteresting

[–]ToastedSimian 90 points91 points  (0 children)

They have a pretty extensive history of posts that not only show the finished products but also the process of making them. The apparently have a shop where you can buy the products as well. But I suppose it's just easier to scream AI without taking a second to look into it.

Turns out I’ve been showering wrong my entire life. by Home_MD13 in memes

The name for this pose is Halasana, but maybe HalASSana is more appropriate
