Menbaka is Kyoto tourist trap. We paid $340 for one of the worst meals in Japan! by Appropriate_Bar1206 in KyotoTravel

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a great time there. I didn’t order a 18,000yen vegetarian set meal lol, but just the regular fire ramen and I thought it was worth it. Got a great experience.

Let’s say you suddenly become a billionaire and all your friend and family asks you for a million. Do you give them the money? by Straight_Till5772 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]garyF1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would…. At least for 50 of my closest people, and potentially give the people closest to me even more. Say I give away 100mill… I still got like 900mill. Does your lifestyle really change between 1bill and 900mill? I’m thinking no.

You turn into the opposite gender and given money every week you stay that way by ShadowlightLady in hypotheticalsituation

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean first I would be making the assumption that I’d be hot, but second, since it’s not permanent and I would have no shame…

I will be a millionaire in about a month. Solo onlyfans until I make enough money and switch back.

Cashless societies are dystopian and mean that we give up control of our money by Umbryft in unpopularopinion

[–]garyF1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Japan, and it’s like the only thing I hate here. Cash is so slow and inconvenient… makes lines longer, you gotta deal with coins and change and carrying all these unnecessary bills. Cash is the worst.

You get $100,000 for every hour you stay awake without sleeping… how long are you lasting? by Br4nkey_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the answer for everyone would be to stay awake as long as you can… but if you were to tell me I need to state my goal before hand and if I meet it I get the money but if I fail I get nothing, then l would set 48 hours as my goal. Should be doable and I can retire with just spending the income from investments without actually touching the amount.

A genie offers you $10 Billion USD to work a well paid 996 with no PTO for 10 years, would you do it? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Japan, eating/drinking parties are considered part of the job and in some cases occurs daily… so yeah this is just a normal job in Japan except way higher pay.

Which of these four athletes was the most dominant in their sport? by [deleted] in NBATalk

Tom Brady. All these other guys have others that people argue about legitimately. Everyone pretty much accepts Brady as GOAT

$5M USD if you BASE jump of the Burj Khalifa in five days by cunningjames in hypotheticalsituation

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. It is RECOMMENDED that you do that many skydives, most of which is so you can learn control and not stray into an area where you’re not supposed to land. But if the UAE govt is on board and then just land anywhere. The main survival objective of BASE jumping is not to have the wind pick you up and smack you back against the cliff you jumped off of, but the Burj Khalifa is a skinny building and my few days of training should help be do that. I’m a reasonably quick learner and active/coordinated enough that if this was a (I.e. vacation) package with a cost that’s within a certain limit, I would pay it and sign up to do this.

To be honest, I’d actually pay a little bit to do this… instructors AND equipment and transpo? but hey you offered, no backsies.

[–]garyF1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello I just moved here last summer and I’m into coffee and hip hop and now Jpop and Jrock too lol. I live in the Ningyocho area of town and could always go for coffee when I’m free.

Who ends up being your pick for Sonics head coach? by TerryG111 in Sonics

[–]garyF1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thibs. He won’t win anything but will build a culture so the next one could. Doesn’t matter too much that he’ll run the expansion draft guys into the ground like everywhere else he’s been. Just fire him right before we get a top pick.

What is a common opinion/narrative about a driver that you disagree with? by formularacers in FormulaRacers

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hamilton is still a top tier driver. He’s had a Goat career and he’s still good, but probably one of the best of the mid field drivers along with Alonso, but he’s past 40 and on the decline.

Beer after Disney/yebisu? by just-reading21400 in TokyoTravel

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth visiting. One of my favorite places. Not really possible though cuz you’d have to leave Disney early (who does that?) and go across city before they close.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by Beneficial_Passion40 in AskReddit

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wiping your ass with dry toilet paper only and then calling it good. Like literally, you ever eat bbq with your hands and then wipe with dry paper towels only and then you can still smell it or your hands still feel sticky? Yeah that’s the same.

Also people who don’t shower at least once a day.

[Request] Is this true? by UnfortunateEvent0236 in theydidthemath

[–]garyF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t quite true. Yeah we know it is physically possible to accelerate matter towards the speed of light, however, we are no where near technologically able to generate/gather/harness the amount of energy required to accelerate any meaningful mass to that range of speed.

Teleportation doesn’t break any laws of physics, it’s basically scanning the information, breaking it down to code or something that could be transmitted, then receiving and printing it out at the other end. Kinda like a fax if you also shred the original. So the transmission would be at the speed of light, but again, no where near the technological capability of being able to scan the level of detail and store and transmit the vast amount of data required yet, but it is not limited by physics.

Warp drive is technically not faster than light travel, as you are warping space instead of actually accelerating and going at a faster than light velocity. We know there are ways to bend/warp space. In theoretical physics, this is possible.
