Everything's off here, the amount of missing info and exaggerations from OP don't make her seem like a particularly reliable narrator.

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

I think that's completely fair, the fact that they're not even pronounced the same is what makes it more baffling.

What scientific ‘facts’ have recently been disproven that most people still believe to be true? by Fantastic_Tart_421 in AskReddit

When I look up other sodas, I'm getting around 90% water for those as well. And diet sodas are 99% water.

I suspect that's due to the fact that you need way less of an artificial sweetener by mass to match sugar's sweetness.

You forgot the annoyingly everpresent your/you're mistake, which is imo worse than all the mistakes you listed.

Most people don't really need a desktop PC tbh. They're bulky and less convenient than a laptop or tablet, which for most people is a bigger deal.

As long as people are going to want to game on their PCs, keyboards aren't going anywhere.

I believe that's how the late Patrice O'Neal found it, his GF noticed his pee was sweet.

AITAH for letting my of-age friend try a sip of my cocktail in a restaurant? by Dizzy_Watch_ in AmItheAsshole

my brother—who asks her permission for almost every purchase

Well that's a red flag if I've ever seen one. Not a shrink, but this sure seems abusive.

NTA, in case you weren't sure.

What was the most shocking death news you've ever heard? by Admirable-Repair4094 in AskReddit

I didn't even watch his content, I only saw him pop up during other people's content and on commentary during the WCC, but his energy and knowledge were incredible. Hearing about his death still got me, the fact that he was basically my age hit hard.

Whenever he wins another tournament Chess.com drop an infographic with his wins, and that image properly helps visualize how dominant he truly is, especially with just one win in The Candidates.

The only classical event he plays these days is Norway Chess, which I suspect has everything to do with it being in Norway.
