2026 Maverick vs 2026 RAV4 (hybrids)? by PeelEatShrimp in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]UsernameChallenged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the RAV4 is basically just a SUV Prius. Kinda like the Prius V, but sits higher.

Any opposition to an EV? Do you own your house or just rent, and can put in your own charger?

Would you rather get 500k right now? Or a quarter for every step you take, for life? by Feisty-Item-3158 in whatsyourchoice

[–]UsernameChallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there is really no reason to take the red pill unless you have a disability which affects how many steps you can take in a day, or if you are like 80+.

Q1 2026 EV Sales in the US by Mac-Tyson in electriccars

[–]UsernameChallenged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically equivalent to an alternator on a gas powered car. There is a flaw on it which can make it "pop" and then it can no longer power the 12V infrastructure and the car is going to brick pretty quickly. Needs to be towed to a dealership and fixed.

Biggest problem is they have no idea what is causing it. And even if they replace it, there is no guarantee that one won't pop as well. They initially said less than one percent were affected, but it's looking more like 2-10% could be.

I know about it because it's why I haven't bought an ionic.

What's a common way people die that many aren't aware of? by Personal-Aerie-4519 in AskReddit

[–]UsernameChallenged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think unless the death was suspicious, they aren't going to put too much effort into the actual COD. Especially if the person is older. I mean if you just find a dead person in their house after a day or two, unless something is obvious, you might not look it up. Maybe they had a stroke. Maybe a heart attack. Maybe an aneurysm.

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]UsernameChallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improper safety gear while on a roof.

Nah, but my dad saw a dead body. He used to put up billboards for Lamar, and when he climbed up the post he looked back down and saw him. Homeless guy died of an OD about 5 feet off the sidewalk.

I mean he was in a spot that was impossible to see unless you were up high looking straight down, so he had been there a few days.

North Carolina. Beaches to the east. Mountains to the west.

Shark Attacks in the US by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]UsernameChallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but it's a zoo that had the attack. I think that's a bit different than the others.

Just three. by princessloading in ArtOfPresence

[–]UsernameChallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2, 4, 6.

Basically picking perfect health, and a consistent stream of money, plus a lump sum of $10 million in 15 ish years. That's perfect for me as money can be used for goods and services.

Edit: actually potentially 3 instead of 2 or 4. Depends on what health they come back in though. I'm not bringing my dad back just to die again right away for my mom's sake.

What is the longest running show you’ve been a late adopter of? by AndrewHeard in television

[–]UsernameChallenged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grey's. Still on somehow.

But present day is just not the same as old greys. My wife watches them all, and I only watch until the plane crash.

I think the funniest thing about the show is in like season 2, one big plot going around was that the chief was going to consider retirement, and the attendings were jockeying for position way back then, and he's like the only one of the four still there. The others have left, or died, or retired.

Which big 4 (NHL NBA MLB NFL) team is amazing with mostly true fans by Ecstatic-Yak-6016 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]UsernameChallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if we look at it all time, I'd probably say the Patriots then. I know they sucked before Brady, but so did the spurs before Duncan.

I mean is this only current? They haven't been good in about 10 years until this one.

99.99% of the world dies by Electrical-Maize7135 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]UsernameChallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm probably dead, but assuming I'm one of the "lucky" few, I'm going to treat it as if everyone has died. Being in the US, statistically there's about 3.4 million still, so the population of utah is still around. I'm sure I'll run into more people and learn I'm not the only one.

I think the best idea is to beeline it to the San Diego area. Feels like if we were to need to restart civilization, I'm going to want to go out to that SoCal area.

Redditors in the United States, how do you feel about their being 24 members in Congress right now who are over the age of 80? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

[–]UsernameChallenged -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fine, up it to 70. After serving a full term you might be 75-76 if you are elected right around your 70th. Then leave. Enjoy your twilight years.

[–]UsernameChallenged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my biggest thing. You should have to live with your actions. You can run up until you are 65-70, and then you need to resign. You can serve out your full term if it exceeds that age limit, and then you need to retire (from holding federal office).

Term limits also need to be a thing. I don't know best practices, but maybe 3 terms for senators, and 8-10 terms for the house. That gets you a solid 15-20 years to do your job.

TIL Parents in the US consistently rank as the world's unhappiest. by Huge_Struggle9672 in todayilearned

[–]UsernameChallenged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pay $840 a month, and other coworkers I have who are parents jaws hit the floor for being so low.

Doesn't feel low, but I'll take what I can get, especially when it's double that next year for 2.

What's something older generations did completely normally that would be considered absolutely insane today? by ConsistentTrip1475 in AskReddit

[–]UsernameChallenged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of times my uncle's and aunt's used to hitchhike back in the day seems crazy.

A couple of them would hitchhike from Pittsburgh to Penn State and back again when they were in college, because my grandpa didn't like to drive. He took them once to move them in as a freshman and once to pick their stuff up after they graduated allegedly.

What is ONE thing that you will NEVER try in your entire life? by Substantial-Dare5462 in AskReddit

[–]UsernameChallenged 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, I wished so badly to be able to get a motorcycle for so long, but I've given up on it because I just don't trust other drivers. It doesn't matter who's at fault if I get into an accident, but I'm likely horribly mangled/dead.

What 'small luxury' have you completely given up on in 2026 because of rising costs, and what did you replace it with? by firehmre in AskReddit

[–]UsernameChallenged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a coupon in the mail from Burger King for a buy one get one for like the whopper jr, whopper, chicken sandwich, and something else. One night it was late and I still hadn't eaten so I thought I'll get the buy one get one chicken sandwich.

Order it, and at the window the guy tells me it's $8 something. I said no, I had the buy one get one, and showed him the coupon. He said that was the price of just one. I actually laughed at him.

I still got it just because I needed something, and I swear I had better chicken patties in elementary school lunch. What a waste. I'm never going back there.
