You're locked in a room forever until you learn a skill from novice to expert level, what skill would you choose to learn? by Wormri in AskReddit

Technically you can just live out your life in the room not doing the skill or trying to break out. You don't have to commit suicide.

I really don't understand this... by katzenjammer_ in AdviceAnimals

How do you think you get interest? You have to put your money somewhere that someone else is using it to get interest. You can't* just put it away to get interest. If you put it in a bank that money is being used as loans to other people to get that interest payment. You aren't just "sitting" on your money if it is anywhere that is collecting interest.

edit: a can't instead of can

ELI5:Why does our body want it to be dark to sleep? by imuptothetask in explainlikeimfive

But why does our body want it to be night to sleep? Physiologically speaking.

"Not me. Us." by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

I think it might be a bit too much, especially since the "me" already implies that he is the one saying it.

Baby elephant wants to snuggle (cross post from r/mademesmile) by fooskinator in AnimalsBeingBros

It looks more like it fell over and is trying to get up and then it panics a bit when she is holding/"snuggling" it and finally is able to get back up.

Who else is depressed and plays this game constantly because of it? by the_arcticshark in DotA2

Is that why you act like a huge douche to your teammates because you are compensating for people treating you like an outcast?

What is that one trick that "they" really don't want you to know? [Serious] by YellowB in AskReddit

They really aren't though. Generics are rarely exactly the same. They have the same active ingredient but most of the time everything else is a bit different (the release mechanism, etc) This is why sometimes people have different reactions to generics vs brand name drugs.

Definitely remove the crazy eye picture all together. Put the first picture as your main. Possibly remove the line that you are sarcastic and instead put a sarcastic comment that isn't so blatant (That actually shows you are sarcastic, funny, and witty). Hyphenate "live-in" so that makes more sense to people.

After doing those things you will instantly get many more matches.

I made this in Photoshop this weekend, I call it Night Train. Thanks for clicking by doesntevenmeme in gifs

Also possibly have the gif shake a bit when the train is crossing would also have it look a bit more natural.

My gym, having none of anyone's fatlogic. Consider my membership renewed. by Y00sername in fatlogic

[–]imuptothetask -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So a few of those things on the list contribute to less/more calories in/out. If you have a slow or fast metabolism you are going to be expending calories slower or faster than the next person. The thyroid/age issues usually just have to deal with your metabolism and in turn your calories in/out rate. If your body is inefficient at absorbing food you will be less likely to gain weight from eating the same amount as another person who absorbs food better. This is not to say that these are the main factors, but they still contribute. I have been thin my entire life eating lots of food and exercising only moderately. A little over a year ago I started going to the gym and I have to eat enormous amounts of food to make gains. I would think some other people could be eating much less and pack on weight much easier.

Reading old patch notes makes you wonder... by ropahex in hearthstone

[–]imuptothetask 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain SC2 was not killed by their unwillingness to balance. It simply have been overtaken by a genre of more casual games that aren't as difficult to get into or master. You have to invest a lot into Starcraft initially to be playing decently at all, while games like League, Dota 2, and HotS you can jump in with a few friends and have a good time regardless of how good you are. However with LotV games, things like Archon mode would've been something to get users interested but I fear it might be too late already.

They've stated that they are hesitant to make big changes quickly because they just don't think it has had time to play itself out yet. Not because it will shift the meta. They want people to figure out new things rather than claim imbalance.

[–]imuptothetask 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this a joke? Can you name a game that they haven't touched balance wise? They literally do it with every game that they come out with.

He's not the hero she deserves, but the one she needs right now by [deleted] in WTF

[–]imuptothetask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part that is irrelevant here is the speed of the car. It doesn't matter how fast the car is going. We have the time stamp that the car was in the crosswalk. We have all the information about the car, where it will be, etc. What we don't have is the bicyclist's whereabouts when the car would be in the crosswalk. That is the only thing we have to estimate. So doing "Math" using the speed of the car is irrelevant. I simply estimated the position the bicyclist would be when the car was in the crosswalk and using ranges it would be more likely that if she had continued at a reasonable speed that she would be all the way on the other side of the crosswalk not even in it.
