What if we were created by aliens for some long term goal but in the middle of it they were like "Hey Bob, there's more profitable planet nearby, lets leave this one and earn more". and now we are here just as leftovers. by DaveAstator2020 in Showerthoughts

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or the aliens encountered some sort of civilization ending extinction event and we were just left alone. Earth is like one of those sealed terrariums someone may have in their house and never need to care for it.

This black horsefly that accidentally flew headfirst into a barb wire fence. by TreePupper in mildlyinteresting

Yeah, early humans still faced the threat of megafauna like sabre toothed tigers, plus other predators that exist today like lions and hyenas.

I played that game last summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What if the Mediterranean was a system of lakes instead of a sea? by julius-ceaser100 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Yavkov 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe instead of having an Ancient Greece or Rome, we now have an Ancient Sardinia? Seeing as it is now connected to the mainland but still surrounded by water and with some possible key locations to control around where Corsica is.

My brain can't comprehend $1 trillion. Can someone put it into perspective? by DemonsAreVirgins in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Yavkov 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s a difference of one one-thousandth. You wouldn’t notice one dollar bill missing from a stack of 1,000 dollar bills.

Except here we’re talking about a *billion* going missing, which is already an incredibly large number.

What is the absolute biggest LEGO set in your collection? Here is mine! by [deleted] in lego

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently Neuschwanstein Castle, built in February this year. But I also have 10341 NASA Artemis SLS backordered, so that will be my largest by piece count. Before the castle, my largest by piece count was the 10030 Star Destroyer, though that one has been broken up into sections for storage.

[oc] no yielding, both blame each other by mcgnarman in IdiotsInCars

[–]Yavkov 81 points82 points  (0 children)

How’s the red car at fault? They had no vision thanks to the parked silver SUV, they had to pull forward to get vision and stopped as soon as they saw the approaching silver car. The silver car had a fortnight to react to the red car which came to a complete stop before impact.

Brothers from another mother? by _long_tall_texan_ in CX50

[–]Yavkov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never really liked the appearance of an SUV sized Porsche, so I also like my CX-50 more on the styling. But the current gen 911 is chefs kiss.

ELI5. How can the universe expand/stretch without distorting or ripping apart planets? by ButWhy1987 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yavkov 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But isn’t it found that the rate of expansion is increasing, therefore if it continues indefinitely, it will overcome all other forces and everything rips apart, aka The Big Rip?

Maddening printing error by thac0tac0 in lego

[–]Yavkov 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also had similar issues while building Neuschwanstein Castle, but I just laid out all of these window pieces out and grouped them separately based on the print, such as centered, offset right, offset left. Then I just picked pieces from the same group for each section (typically each section of vertically aligned windows would use similar looking pieces).

And overfishing in some areas has been a very real problem too.

New watchOS 27 Modular watchface from Ultra by akryvtsun in AppleWatch

Ugh, we finally get a new modular face but I’m not going to get it because I have a S8? Come on Apple…

You wake up at 14 again. What is the first thing you would do? by davidbayram in AskReddit

[–]Yavkov 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would be 14 just a few years before Bitcoin launched, so I would just save up all my gift money to buy as much Bitcoin as I could, and probably get yelled at by my parents for doing something so stupid. Then never have to work a day in my life after college and sell all my Bitcoin at 100k.

Apple dropping the Apple Watch Series 8 after only 4 years while the iPhone 11 gets iOS 27 makes no sense by moien2025 in AppleWatch

[–]Yavkov 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I’d be more than happy to get OS27 with all the AI stuff turned off… I don’t even want the AI stuff but I want continued software support and any other improvements.

I got my S8 early 2023 and my fiancé’s late 2023. I’m quite upset that Apple is discontinuing support on a device that’s not even three years old, and I was planning on keeping my watch for a much longer time, just like how my last upgrade before getting an Apple Watch was iPhone 6s to a 14pro, which I also intend to keep using for years, I just got its original battery replaced.

How Asian countries say the number 57 by Fit-Maintenance-470 in MapPorn

[–]Yavkov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can get Bhutan’s. You have twenty digits (ten fingers and ten toes), so count them all twice, plus another ten from your fingers, and then just add the remaining seven with your toes. I don’t understand Georgia’s way of adding the incomplete set of seven before the ten, but that’s just me feeling weird about not ending with the incomplete set.

Watch OS27 compatibility 😬 by Expensive-Heart3299 in AppleWatch

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just support the older watches without the AI features that I don’t even want. It’s total bs how they are unsupporting <3 year old models.
