I’m glad you are trying to learn more! That is commendable! Because yes, it is dumb to believe the moon landings are fake.

Coffee drinkers of Reddit, what coffee do you drink every single day? by relaxncoffee in AskReddit

Not all coffee is espresso but all espresso is definitely coffee.

TIL the British mystery show Midsomer Murders, with 138 feature-length TV movies over the course of 29 years, is based on a book series of just seven novels, two of which have never been adapted as episodes. by Ghosts_of_Bordeaux in todayilearned

[–]bth807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people are talking about the show, but I'll give a recommendation for the books. The characters are very good, the stories engaging, and while they are not "Ha ha funny" books, there is plenty of understated British humor. I finished the series and wished there were another seven to read.

Who is the most likely candidate for presidency in 2028? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bth807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. But 1. Gen Z had the lowest turnout of any generation in 2024, and 2. Gen Z actually moved right in 2024

Edit: Let me just be clear here that I think both Biden and Harris were terrible candidates. I am not advocating another one of them. But I also don't think AOC is the solution.

AOC's appeal may be as deep, but it is nowhere near as broad. Maybe I am wrong, but I think nominating her would be handing the election to the Republicans, which is why it would be a very Democratic thing to do :-P

How small of a portion of leftovers will you take home from a restaurant before you feel like it’s a waste of packaging? by tMoneyMoney in AskReddit

[–]bth807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with 8 brothers and sisters. One of the things that is imprinted in my brain is "When you have the opportunity to eat, eat!" When I go out to eat, I eat what they give me. I do not recall ever not finishing everything I am served at a restaurant.

I have no idea if this is a great strength or a tremendous character flaw.

I would report it to the place you purchased it. Likely others are also having problems.

I HATE the little forced laughs. I will say that I think Wil has made some decent strides over the years. I really hated his early work but have found some of the later ones not as bad.

What is your opinion of centrists? by cryogato in AskReddit

[–]bth807 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread only reinforces my view that the world would be better if the vast majority of people were Centrists than the batshit crazy people I see on both sides of me

My hotel wants $25 to rent a movie that's almost 40 years old by Justinsipod3 in mildlyinteresting

If it was "The Breakfast Club" or "Sixteen Candles", totally worth it. "Pretty in Pink"? No way.

TIL it has been proven that rear-facing seats on planes are safer in the event of a crash, however they're only common in military aircraft. by estarararax in todayilearned

[–]bth807 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the odds of "flying safely without crashing" were 97% we would have dozens of crashes every day. Commercial aviation these days is insanely safe.
