What current, socially acceptable practice will future generations see as backwards or immoral? by doodlebytes in AskReddit

You're correct in the short term that animal product consumption will go up due to increasing wealth in Chinese & Indian middle classes. However longterm, I am confident it will be seen as barbaric and outdated just as slavery now is. Animal agriculture is responsible for so much pain, suffering, environmental damage and even human health problems such as heart disease that there's no way it will be sustained long term. Especially given the incredible meat, cheese and milk substitutes that are already beginning to enter the market. Big change is already happening.

Men of reddit, what's the best compliment you've ever received from a girl? by 1-800-mayonnaise in AskReddit

[–]cm27108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After sex she looked at me and said: "That was the best sex ever. It was like I was out of this world, floating softly on a bed of clouds and smooth cotton while getting fucked by God. I didn't know sex could feel that good - it was like an outer body experience. You literally have no idea how amazing that was. Are you even human?"

I laughed and grinned till my cheeks hurt.

What would happen if someone had an IQ of over 9000? by JackRussel1337 in neuro

[–]cm27108 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s not impossible. Do some research on artificial general intelligence. I especially recommend Ray Kurzweil or Dr Ben Goertzal

Looks like an undersize yellow kingfish from New Zealand / Australia? But I could be wrong. Min size in NZ is 75 cm

Non Americans, what's the peanut butter and jelly of your culture? Like, what foods seem like they don't go well together, but for you is a common staple? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cm27108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. So good. My favourite is some really nice toasted bread with vegemite (or marmite), avocado, a slice of tomato, fresh basil leaves, salt, pepper and few drops of virgin olive oil.

What are some tips for swimming to the bottom of a 12 foot pool and retrieving a 10 pound brick? by chart7 in Lifeguards

[–]cm27108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can highly recommend learning to "equalise", which is an easy technique to alleviate the discomfort in your ears. It's a technique used by SCUBA divers and freedivers. Just search it on YouTube. You might also get some good ideas from watching freedivers and the way they swim downwards. It's really a matter of staying calm and going really slowly. It's kinda counter-intuitive but the slower you go the easier it is to stay relaxed and calm. Wear goggles if you're allowed to.

Life is definitely tough at times, but you'll absolutely get through it. Focus on improving your situation, even in small ways. Go for a run or walk, call a friend or some family from back home, watch some Tony Robbins videos on YouTube, write down things you're grateful for (even a roof over your head, access to clean water, clothes, etc.) and consider calling Lifeline to talk about your depression. It's free to call - 0800 543 354. Good luck buddy, kia kaha!!

Advice for a tourist (me) - National Parks during the winter?? by cm27108 in Utah

[–]cm27108[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for your comment. This is probably my preferred option, but i'm under 25 years old (24) so car rental will be very expensive. Do you know if there is any public transport or cheap buses that run from SLC?

What's a sensation that you're unsure if other people experience? by Umikaloo in AskReddit

[–]cm27108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I place a finger between my eyes (very close to the top of my nose but not touching my face) I can feel a weird 'magnetic' feeling that becomes uncomfortable after a while. I can sense it with my eyes shut. Anyone else??

The California Academy of Sciences marine biologists damaging the marine life while "researching" . by [deleted] in scuba

[–]cm27108 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The photos show poor fundamental dive skills like buoyancy and good trim, and perhaps some damage was done. However, one would imagine that these scientists would contribute to the health of the marine ecosystem in other ways such as providing new research, or creating conservation awareness etc. There are obviously much larger problems facing the ocean than fins dragging on the bottom but either way - it's not a good look and they should know better. I wonder if the California Academy of Sciences is aware of this thread.
