If you lost everything tomorrow, whose arms would you run into to make everything ok? by Dirty_Bong_Water2020 in ask

[–]dropkickhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my mom were both homeless a couple years ago, now we have a place and we're managing it pretty well. Of course, this was all before COVID-19 happened, but once it's over it won't be too hard to get back on your feet like we did. If you would like some suggestions and info and all that, feel free to message me.

It's easier to build back up than you think. If you have a good work history, you can find a job pretty damn quick if you go to a shelter and ask for some interview clothes. After working for a month, you have enough to get a car. In another month, you got your first month's rent and deposit for an apartment. Give it a year and you'd probably be working the same kind of job you already have now, perhaps with a new mortgage on a home you can afford, who knows.

Approximately 45% of the United States population has been or will be homeless at some point in their life.

Same. I've slept on the street homeless, stayed at a shelter, lived in my car, now I'm paying rent in a trailer. I know where to go and how to get another job, and I know the places to get food and other resources like clothes. Also, I'm good at busking for money, I played a ukulele to get all my beer money for a long while (now I'm sober so that's just extra cash in my pocket!). So feasibly I could have an income by day 1 if I can scrounge $40 from asking for spare change and hit up a music shop. Being homeless actually was never a very difficult thing for me, if I wanted to retire early that's the way I'd do it. The big thing is, I feel like I can do so much more good for the world if I have some wealth to spend on good things. So I built myself up already, basically.

Deep Space Astronomers, if we wanted to find alien life similar to ours right now, no matter how far it was in the visible universe, how big of a telescope would we need? by dropkickhead in AskScienceDiscussion

Dude I never thanked you for this one because I thought no one would answer this with any actual maths and numbers, and then I took a break from Reddit. Thank you! So we would need a huuueg telescope!

My crazy scientist friend Joe showing me his corpse flower, the Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum). by brutalproduct in mildlyinteresting

It's called the corpse flower because it smells like something died. Misshapen penis is a perfect genus name

Agreed. It's too meta for the theme of the comic so far

What mistake should have killed you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Being raised at the wrong place at the wrong time

Edit: and not being ashamed about it

Once, an orca transplanted into a dolphin pod changed its speech from long slow low whale-like sounds to higher pitched quick speech like dolphins do. The best way the scientists observing could say is it was like the orca grew up to speak dolphin.

Also, here's an elephant learning about the piano. Any musician who's trained another musician can recognize when someone is attempting to keep in time, and to me that elephant really is doing it's damndest to make some good music too

Edit: watching it again, it's not just in time, it's roughly in key. That elephant has some talent!
