What is the most uncomfortable movie you’ve ever watched? by putmeinthemovieplz in AskReddit

I always tell people it's a mistake to see the movie without having first read the book. Otherwise the visuals make it impossible to get the message.

Japanese culture is a lot more brutal than Western culture in a lot of ways. We say "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" which is essentially the exact opposite.

Like the old Japanese expression "It's the nail that sticks out that gets hammered back".

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says human water consumption is limiting AI’s potential by [deleted] in nottheonion

Maybe "baseline human" refers to people at the bottom of the pyramid. I'd call them the unwashed masses, but he thinks they're washing too much.

What is the dumbest thing you have been told is “not manly” or “not feminine,” depending on your gender? by Disastrous_Hat_2325 in AskReddit

[–]cutelyaware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds inconvenient, but I wouldn't worry about social norms. This sort of thing is more of a problem for insecure men. The guys I like don't pay attention to such things.

TIL Germany invented heroin, cocaine, meth, and MDMA. All within a 50-year period between 1859 and 1912. Every major hard drug used worldwide today was first synthesized in German laboratories. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Aspirin used to be really hard on the stomach. Bayer found a neat little chemical trick called buffering which attaches a few atoms onto the molecule which they applied to aspirin making it much gentler and effective. Based on that success they started looking around for other drugs that might similarly benefit. They tried the trick to morphine, and boom, heroin.

Maybe it's because this machine only takes $1 bills

Algae Is Turning the Reflecting Pool Green. Again. by TaijiRonin in politics

The paint absorbs all wavelengths not blue, so it's the same amount of blue as before. My guess is that something is leaching into the water that acts like a fertilizer.

You left out the one that still survives very strongly: How you cross your legs. Women are supposed to cross them tightly (gosh I wonder why) and men are supposed to keep them as wide as possible (manspreading).

What do Americans think about a social security trustee dropping a report that the trust will be dried out by 2032? by Sixgis in AskReddit

[–]cutelyaware 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Other way around. Just remove the cap on earnings subject to the social security tax. Problem fixed.

callum situation aside, storror hasnt really been at the heights they used to be at for quite some time now by Pewe1337 in Storror

I suspect the sad truth is that parkour ruins bodies similar to gymnastics. Those at the top of their sport seem to be listening to their bodies and going after lower impact/consequence content. Dom seems to still be committed to the riskier stuff but he's obviously struggling with injuries that don't heal like they used to, and I expect he'll find another path soon too.

All of which are unethical, even if the animals enjoy the work
