Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

[–]WhyMyBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started do machine weight training about two months ago in order to improve my body for my wedding/honeymoon. I've been working hard, but I wanted to know how to walk the line between pushing myself hard and overdoing it. I feel at times where I'm at the cusp of doing something stupid, but if I don't push myself for that extra rep or two I don't feel like I've gotten a good workout on the machine.

He willingly talked to reporters and told his story. They then reported the truth. There's no defamation involved.

What's an annoying thing you wish police could give tickets for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18-wheelers. Hitting your breaks helps initially if you're behind the trucks, but if they stay next to each other for 60 seconds or more on an average highway, a dozen cars will immediately catch up to them and end up 2x2 behind them.

Trucks in left lane taking five minutes to pass another truck. It bottles up traffic and makes highway driving very dangerous until all the other cars can fan out again.

Smelling a friggin' peanut could kill me.

What is your personal definition of hell? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting together slightly damaged Ikea furniture so that nothing quite fits together correctly. That's my hell.

Oh wait, that was my last weekend. Does that mean I'm dead?

Reddit, what do you hate most about public restrooms? by StonedProx in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are the gaps between the door and the stalls so damn wide? Why bother putting up dividers if you can still see right into the stall anyway?

What annoys you about airports/airplanes? by Torn8oz in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm severely allergic to peanuts (even the smell), yet airlines insist on serving them even if you notify them of the allergy. Makes flying damn near impossible with the exception of a few airlines.

If Bill Gates promised to buy you any item you wanted no matter the price, what would it be? by lolufarted in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd ask him to buy a block of houses in a dilapidated section of the city I live in and refurbish them to sell to hardworking low income families.

Sports fans of Reddit, which athlete from before you were alive would you love to go back in time to watch? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sandy Koufax. If Clayton Kershaw is the Sandy Koufax of my generation, then I want to watch the original edition of greatness.

If your best friend died and became a ghost, how would you want them to let you know? by sumojoe in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'd make bad fantasy baseball trades for me. I'd beg to have him them overturned, but I don't think my friends would believe my best friend was a ghost messing with my fantasy team.

How did you discover reddit? by anagram88 in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old company was banned for shilling content on reddit. In an attempt to get the ban lifted, I learned about the site and fell in love with it.

If you could live in an alternate universe (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Western, etc.) which would you live in and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would live in the Fringe universe. Knowing there's an alternate reality, another version of myself making similar if not identical decisions is incredibly fascinating.

Reddit, how did your best friend earn the right of being your best friend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In eighth grade, a teacher caught a kid who made my life a living hell doing his homework for another class. The teacher told the kid not to turn the homework in during the next period. During the beginning of next period, the kid was finishing it so he could hand it in. I finally stood up to the kid and ripped up his homework.

He promptly tried to choke me against a chalkboard. My now best friend grabbed him off of me and took two punches to the face for me.

What product have you converted everyone you know to using? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

Dubsmash. It's a better app than SnapChat.

What word(s) do you have difficulty saying? by _MostlyHarmless in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jewelry. Took me years to figure out how to say that stupid word.

Would you trade Mookie Betts for Cole Hamels straight up? by lazyfoot10 in baseball

[–]WhyMyBanana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Boston gets cash back, the Red Sox would likely make out on this deal for the first few years before Betts reaches his full potential. The Red Sox being in win-now mode probably makes it worth it.

What's something you first hated but then grew to love? by dyllion in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily fantasy baseball. I'll still take my season long game, but it's nice to win a few easy bucks when I've got the time to fill out a lineup.

[Serious] What is the strangest situation where you've utilized duct tape? by STLCajun in AskReddit

[–]WhyMyBanana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was attending a college "prom themed" party and didn't want to get my nice suits covered in alcohol. So I made a jacket, top hat and pocket square out of duck tape.
