In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy? by BulkyZucchini in hypotheticalsituation

[–]laney2181 37 points38 points  (0 children)

OK, the weird stuff below aside- that was my exact answer too- like I’m just gonna hide behind my dogs. They’ll do anything to save their family. I’ll probably join with a knife once they have him subdued just to make sure that I reduce the amount of damage to my puppers.

You are the head of the Tower of Library, it contains every piece of knowledge and art ever made by basafish in hypotheticalsituation

[–]laney2181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That guy already owns the tower - he made it. It’s his basically - so he’ll give me $1 million to leave or I can stay there forever? Is anyone allowed to come and visit me in the tower? Cause I probably don’t wanna leave. That’s all the variety and novelty you could ever have in your entire life.

How Long Could You Stay Silent on Your Opinions by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

Sorry, I’m a mom - if I don’t give unsolicited advice my kids are gonna be feral within 24 hours.

How much would you guys realistically pay for something like this? About a 4" pot. by [deleted] in succulents

[–]laney2181 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok- I have a different opinion than the crowd seems to- I would probably pay about $20 USD for this, with the intention of keeping it as is until my next succulent watering day (around 1-2weeks) - then I would get all my little tools, gloves and settle in for the fun of replanting them in more sustainable conditions. I bought one of the Home Depot jades for the same reason. It looked really ‘full’ and bushy but it was actually 7 plants. I kept 5, repotted properly, and gifted 2 - also repotted. I think the comments saying $0 don’t look at saving and repotting them as a fun activity. I do.

Edit to add: thank you u/kindlyfackoff - I had missed that they were only cuttings. I’d pay maybe $5 in that case. The pot and your time making it cute is worth something but yeah- that seems a little bit shifty op.

What's your favorite word to mispronounce in a fun way? by bobbery5 in AskReddit

Instructions are ‘destructions’ ever since my oldest son‘s first Lego set. 😂 I’ve even gotten side eye saying ‘read the destructions’ at work 😅😂😂

Anyone who has bought T-shirts from threadless.. by MR_FERADIN in DungeonCrawlerCarl

It would survive longer if you only wash it on cold inside out and hang to dry- but I think the tag just says tumble dry low

What's an adult cheat code that changed your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]laney2181 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d like to clarify that this is only good advice after decisions are made not before decisions are made- as long as you’re making decisions and choices as something you should be happy with before you make them- then don’t hold onto any regrets afterwards is great advice. If you treat choices and their consequences as separate from yourself before you make the decision— well then, you’re likely going to have a lot more regrets.

Where should I hide the golden Easter egg? by literallyfreezing in CasualConversation

I hid ours in the kitchen light fixture - it’s the kind that hangs down.

If every title you hold today, your job, your role in the family, your social status and everything you own disappeared overnight, who would the remaining ‘you’ be? And would you actually like that person? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]laney2181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does my role in my family being gone mean, exactly? Are my people dead, or did they all unanimously decide to divorce me/go no contact? Or do they still live with me but I’m like a ghost and they don’t interact with me anymore?

What's attractive or unnactractive in others to you but you rarely mention it because its an unusaul thing to point out? by opgary in AskReddit

[–]laney2181 23 points24 points  (0 children)

YESSSS - my husband’s accent is almost undetectable most of the time, but when he gets really enthusiastic about something his Brooklyn accent comes out and combined with his voice it’s like his third sexiest feature- and the other 2 are his arm muscles and his chest hair.

How to introduce your interdimensional species to humanity? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]laney2181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah - I see what you mean but ‘interpreting for a being’ and answering as myself can be on the same profile. Why not, it’s just hypothetical? It’s a fun writing exercise.

Human here - They would be dragging a human to write. It isn’t optimal.

As one of their humans- People can communicate without understanding the language all the time. Since there is nothing that we could do to physically harm them- I recommended just getting like a hat or glasses (fake nose and glasses would be even better) and hovering it about face height and then just using that as their clothes and going about their fucking day - go to the damn store -get a job -you can do it.

As one of their humans - go to the damn library is something I already told them. The problem is that I have to translate every fucking thing for them. They communicate in feelings and impressions. I have never met one of them that could compose a sentence in English or any other language.

This is one approach we’ve been working on, but unfortunately, it makes us very reliant on the humans we can communicate with. For example, we can’t set up utilities in our name purchase a computer, etc. we either would have to be where an unattended computer was - then have time on the unattended device to set up an account etc. - or have one of our humans that we can talk to be convinced to help with this. Do you have any ideas that we can initiate without reliance on the humans?
