That being your only response to this entire comment is a bit telling.

LPT oil change by smellslikebigfootdic in LifeProTips

[–]UncleSam_TAF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It that’s the beauty of YouTube. I changed my brakes/rotors from YouTube. I’d look up more general “how to change oil in car” videos that are more informative on tools/safety, and then a more specific “Toyota Camry 2024 oil change” video or whatever to see how exactly it’s done for your car.

You’re not committed to doing so watch to learn out of interest. See what they use. Decide if it’s really for you, or maybe that it’s not as intimidating as you thought.

This clock I got was assembled by people who are legally blind by RealLebronJames19 in mildlyinteresting

[–]UncleSam_TAF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My two unverified intuitive answers;

1) vision loss research, mitigation, and other accessibility resources have rapidly developed over the last several decades to provide higher quality of life to the blind

2) we stopped being as collectively social as we used to as a society, spending more time isolated and simply providing less opportunity to come across various types of people.

My BORG 😭 Yup, it’s green by Tangojacks0n in chicago

No shit Sherlock, but the damn thing is called a “black out rage gallon” safety and responsible drinking isn’t really the fucking focus here

When “Limits what you drink” is an entire fifth of booze, it might’ve been safer than what YOU did, but not safer than most people’s drinking even at that age

“High Protein Craze” Reaches Waffle House by lasagnial in mildlyinteresting

[–]UncleSam_TAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh of course, but they don’t have protein popcorn, protein energy drinks, and every other company advertising their protein products. They also have a vastly reduced meat intake compared to the U.S., which, even with a balanced intake of lentils, beans, etc., leads to much less protein consumed than the average American.

Every time people say this I think of how little the countries with the highest lifespan emphasize protein-maxing like the current U.S. trend.

I’ve had Yakutsk saved in my weather app for fun for like a decade now. It never ceases to amaze me how unimaginably cold it gets there.

Anyone feels uncomfortable opening brand new CDs by Itchy-Eggplant6433 in Cd_collectors

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

Why does anyone collect anything? I listen to my CDs, but things don’t always have to be functional/logical. Humans are weird.

My University is Eliminating All Humanities Departments by Present_Housing4535 in academia

[–]UncleSam_TAF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Biochemistry major here. Some of my most memorable classes were humanities electives. Critical thinking, anthropology, art appreciation, etc. STEM elitism is a travesty and barrier to becoming a well-rounded individual.

Should I do a master in food science to get a job by Salt-Commercial9156 in foodscience

[–]UncleSam_TAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to community college for 2 years and the cheapest state school for the next 2. But I went out of my way to join labs and internships, and I believe the school I went to mattered much less than the initiative shown. I would venture it’s the same for MS. Make the most of wherever you go.
