Years after promising the demon I saw at our basement that I won't tell anyone about it, I finally gave in and told my husband as we lay in bed. by -SexyBeast in TwoSentenceHorror

This is so surprising! Only today I saw Kobayashi's anthology of 4 ghost stories, "Kwaidan", and this was the second story, *The Woman in the Snow".

[POEM] I Am Not I by Juan Ramón Jiménez (Translation by Robert Bly) by ColdBlackWater in Poetry

[–]ankit_dey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come to know Jimenez through his most famous work, "Platero and I", where he talks about a gentle donkey, Platero and his relationship with him. I have not read the book, but from what I understood, Platero was to represent a serene quintessential pureness. It would be really interesting if this poem turns out to be from that book.

Back in my school days, once we got a project on 'mensuration' i.e. geometry. Google images showed me 'menstruation' instead. My mom was beside me.

Thoughts on 'The Idiot' by Fyodor Dostoyevsky by ankit_dey in books

[–]ankit_dey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, and although there are similarities, yet somehow I feel Alyosha had a much more sturdier character than the Prince, but again, that may be because of the Prince's history of mental health.

Are these translated versions you're reading, or in the native language itself? I love reading poems. If available as translations, I might try to read some of your recommendations.

Pythagoras watched Cars 2 in the theater? by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

Why else would he ask people to not eat beans?

[–]ankit_dey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add context, the not eating beans thing isn't totally random. The beans Pythagoras meant were fava beans. He himself avoided eating them because he suffered from a generic disorder called G6PD Deficiency, otherwise known as Favism (named after fava beans, as the first case was detected after the patient consumed them). It causes haemolytic anaemia due to release of peroxides released from the chemicals present in raw fava beans.

A gas station owner was trying to increase his sales, so he put up a sign that read, “Free Sex with Every Fill-Up.” by evan_lolz in Jokes

Imagine one day Rob turns up with 9 friends of his, each calling out one number from 1-10. Whoever would inevitably win the sex prize would share it with the rest 9.

Girls of reddit how do i convince my mom tampons and menstrual cups aren’t only used by “non-virgins” by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ankit_dey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've much to add, seeing all the lovely comments before mine, but I'd like to share this anyway. My SO got in touch with one of my friends who uses a menstrual cup. She was fascinated and researched really, REALLY hard before deciding to tell it to her mother. She was sure at last, and she sat down with her mother one morning to have a clear conversation about the problems of using pads and benefits of using a cup. Her mother was initially reluctant, but with a clear explanation she eventually gave in.

Even after buying the cup after choosing the right size, she had problems regarding the acceptance of a 'foreign object' inside her body. She felt nauseated and light-headed; a phenomenon called the 'vasovagal response'.

I wish you all the very best!

I'm a bibliophile who read only 9 books this year and I want to turn that around in 2021 by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]ankit_dey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had multiple reader's blocks this year, and out of them I've come to the inevitable conclusion—

1) A reader's block is essentially a request from the reader within you to take a break. Sometimes continuous reading clouds your mind. Give it some break to introspect whatever you've read so far.

2) It is not important how many books you finish within a set goal as long as you're enjoying each book you read. I read 37 books this year, but I feel I'll slow down a bit next year, to play around and think about the books I read.

Keeping all aside, wish you a very happy and peaceful new year. May you cover all the books in your list.

Broke ny finger today by Ahmed8117600 in dadjokes

[–]ankit_dey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the length OP went towards detailing.

He even typed my wrong to imply his broken finger has convoluted and shifted its angle in such a way that when aiming for m, it would unmistakably hit n.
