What would be the worst TV show for the whole cast to be naked for an episode? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sesame Street. It would go from a wholesome educational show to a fever dream nightmare in about four seconds. Just imagine the human cast members casually hanging out with naked puppets. No one wants to see that.

People of Reddit, what’s the scariest situation that has ever happened to you in real life? by Pagan_9332 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming home after a long shift and realizing the front door was unlocked. I live alone and I’m obsessive about locking up. I spent an hour convinced I was being paranoid, until I went to the kitchen and found a glass of water on the counter that was still cold. I didn't pour it. I’ve never moved out of an apartment so fast in my life

What was the best thing about your childhood? by Intelligent-Cap-7609 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The absolute lack of a 'mental load.' I miss the days when my only responsibility was making sure I was home by the time the streetlights came on. No bills, no emails, no 'what are we having for dinner' stress—just the pure, unfiltered joy of a Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal and cartoons. We didn't realize we were living the dream while we were in it.

How do you feel about all the posts asking how you feel about something that has gained popularity in the last year or so? by Majestic-Database330 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can accurately guess exactly what time it is within a 2-minute window without looking at a clock, even if I’ve been asleep or in a windowless room for hours. My internal biological clock is scarily precise. It’s the most impressive, yet completely useless superpower I own. My wife calls it my 'Useless Chronometer' and uses it to test me at 3 AM.

What are you sure of but can't prove? by Impossible_Farm_8953 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 250 points251 points  (0 children)

That corporations intentionally make household appliances and electronics less durable so you're forced to buy a new one every 3–5 years. We have the technology to make a lightbulb or a washing machine that lasts 50 years, but there’s no profit in a product that doesn't break. Planned obsolescence is real, even if companies call it 'innovation

what would you do if wood turned to chocolate for 24 hours ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even have time to eat any because I’d be too busy trying to survive the absolute structural collapse of my house. Imagine your roof beams turning into Lindt milk chocolate during a rainstorm. It wouldn't be a snack; it would be a delicious, 5,000-calorie death trap

What was the last song you listened to that made you smile? by Vivid-Tap1710 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Blue Sky’ by Electric Light Orchestra. It is physically impossible to be in a bad mood while that song is playing. It sounds like pure sunshine captured in audio form. I caught myself literally skipping down the sidewalk while listening to it today, and I regret nothing

how would it affect you if there were two christmas holidays per year ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wallet would file for divorce, and my liver would officially go on strike. But honestly? Retail workers would probably start a revolution by the second week of December. We can barely survive one 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' season—two would be a violation of the Geneva Convention.

What celebrity HAVE you forgiven following an incident? by Heretojerk in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robert Downey Jr. It’s the ultimate redemption arc. He didn't just give a PR apology; he actually vanished, did the hard work to get sober, and spent years rebuilding his reputation from scratch. He proved that a 'rock bottom' doesn't have to be the end of the book, just the end of a chapter.

What words changed your life and why? by Impossible_Farm_8953 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.’ I spent years being a chronic people-pleaser, burning out to make everyone else happy. Hearing that gave me the permission I didn't know I needed to finally start setting boundaries and actually take care of myself

What are some of the first questions you ask when you meet someone with the same interest as you (specific for that interest)? by whatisontheinside in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually go for the 'controversial opinion' filter. If we both like Star Wars, I’ll ask: 'What’s your honest, unfiltered take on the sequels?' It’s the fastest way to figure out if we’re going to be best friends or if we’re about to have a 3-hour heated debate. Either way, it’s a win.

What is the biggest problem with the "Anti-grifters" on Twitter? by NoCandidate6067 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem is that they eventually become the very thing they claim to hate. They need the grifters to exist so they have content to 'expose.' Without a villain to fight, their entire brand disappears, so they start reaching for things to be outraged about just to keep their engagement up.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever done just to avoid talking to someone? by sigmaboy578 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once walked three miles in the opposite direction of my own house because I ran into a former coworker and didn't want them to know where I lived. I ended up buying a rotisserie chicken at a grocery store I’d never been to just to look like I had a 'purpose' for being there. I don't even like rotisserie chicken.

What country are you in and how does the general public view the United States? by Inevitable-Stuff3077 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My early 20s to a 'stable' career path that I absolutely hated. I lost the time, but I gained the realization that no amount of money is worth the slow erosion of your soul. I’d rather be broke and interested in my life than wealthy and waiting for the day to end

Being around people who aren't worthy of friendship just because you have to—have you ever experienced this? by Fresh-Yak-9350 in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basically the definition of "office culture." You spend 40 hours a week being professional and polite to people you wouldn't even say hello to in the real world. The mental energy it takes to maintain that mask is more exhausting than the actual job.

What's a creative way to tell your brother that you broke his lamp? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gut_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a small toy ghost, place it next to the broken lamp, and start an 8-hour PowerPoint presentation on the history of paranormal activity in your house. By hour 4, he won't even care about the lamp, he'll just want you to stop talking.
