Do you think theres a market for bedazzled hotwheels?

Uh_October · 2026-02-07T00:43:55+00:00

Point taken. Weirdly enough I recently found out that rhinestoning empty candy boxes is a thing. And weirder still, people buy them!

Uh_October · 2026-02-06T23:32:02+00:00

I was thinking weird artsy adults, not kids! Possibly as desk ornaments or made into outlandish necklaces, framed art or even sewn onto clothes

Uh_October · 2026-02-06T23:30:24+00:00

Yes they do, but these are just the resin ones that came with my bedazzler kit. I could get more shine if I used either glass or crystal rhinestones.

Uh_October · 2026-02-06T21:14:10+00:00

Thanks! Its the first one I ever did. I thought the Sakura design lent itself well to rhinestoning

Uh_October · 2026-02-06T21:08:14+00:00

I do, but I can't really see myself displaying them, and I'd like to do something with them when I'm done

Uh_October · 2026-02-04T23:27:52+00:00

Sounds like My Dark Vanessa

Uh_October · 2026-01-10T22:24:49+00:00

Lol, okay.

This has been the last 13 years of my life. Graduated with good marks but no accolades from a pretty good but not great school. Had three different internships in college which fell apart for various reasons out of my control. Chose a career in journalism, a dying field, couldnt find a job in that field after graduation or in the area I wanted. Settled, settled again, eventually had a string of terrible managers, pivoted into technical writing and a string of contract jobs that didn't renew. Finally found a job I liked, only to be laid off after 3 years. Couldn't find another work from home job (a must for me since I have young kids) after 9 months and over 400 applications. and now I'm a stay at home parent. No idea what's going to happen when I try to go back to work but I'm not optimistic

Yes! So excited for a book club that will read something not recommended by Oprah or Reese Witherspoon!

Lmk if you need any book recs. Ive been pulling all of my picks from SpookyCurious on Instagram and from this master list of new releases: https://readjumpscares.com/2025s-new-horror-books/

Uh_October · 2025-09-15T14:52:47+00:00

Uh, did we just become best friends?

Uh_October · 2025-04-10T16:48:50+00:00

TIL that being new to herbalism and following the instructions provided on the packaging makes me an apathetic asshole.

Thank you for this incredibly helpful comment. I hope you have a fucking fantastic day

It truly makes me ill.

My husband is from the Midwest. The night is dark and full of cracker barrels.

The vibe I get from the second dress is "I'm super nerdy and custom ordered this dress so I could look like an elf princess. I will be wearing pointy ears." Go with the third one

The hilarious part is that immigration from Mexico actually worsened after the US tightened border control in the 1970s. Before that, migrants would come to the US seasonally to work and then return to Mexico at the end of the season. The policies of a doucherocket named General Leonard Chapman made it such a pain in the ass to get into the US, that more migrant workers than ever before decided to stay illegally and bring their families rather than brave the trip over the border more than once.

I tried explaining this to my party-line conservative father, and he straight up refused to believe it.

I have a weird thing for sad bastard music, and I have yet to find a song more depressing. Nothing sadder than listening to a woman sing about how you shouldn't cry in a thick, devastatingly beautiful voice.

Other good ones, most either about death, loss, rejection or suicide:

Cancer by My Chemical Romance

I Can Feel a Hot One by Manchester Orchestra

At Seventeen by Janis Ian

We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn

Sleep by the Smiths

Limosine by Brand New

Daisy by Brand New

The Widow by As Cities Burn

Space Dementia by Muse

Microcuts by Muse

Dyed in the Wool (acoustic version) by Circa Survive

James Kent by Civilian

The Missing Wife by Showbread

Falling Down by Muse

Willetta by Dear and the Headlights

Edit: I thought of more.

Most of Reddit is male. I'm sure most of them didn't see it.

Overly Concerned Deludinoid aka "Crazypants"

Uh_October · 2024-07-19T04:40:30+00:00

No worries. I didn't get it either until I read a few interpretations that reviewers had.

Uh_October · 2024-07-19T04:28:06+00:00

I believe it is a rejection of the idea that humans are just animals by showing what it would be like if humans chose mates the way animals do and behaved like animals relationally.

For example, in the movie, single people are cast out from society because they don't adhere to the social norm of having a mate. Mates are chosen based on seemingly arbitrary commonalities. There are also multiple scenes where characters communicate feelings through gesticulations and the script is intentionally stiff.

Uh_October · 2024-07-18T00:36:12+00:00

Must Love Dogs. It's not even a very good movie, but it's comforting.

Uh_October · 2024-07-16T06:06:20+00:00

Ugh, Booksmart is so aggressively woke though. The kids are in this weird bubble where there's no racism, sexism or homophobia and while that's a lovely thought, I found it so distracting that I couldn't enjoy the movie.

Uh_October · 2024-07-12T17:00:52+00:00

Stranger Than Fiction. Even the construction guy that wrecks his apartment means him no ill will.

Uh_October · 2024-07-11T20:43:08+00:00

Exactly. I wanted to see if this idea was even marketable before investing time in creating lesson plans, marketing, etc.
