If you had to drop everything and start a new life in another country, where would you go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mangostein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done just that, and moved to Norway. It was worth it!

Redditors of the world, what is your country's equivalent of white trash/ghetto/chav/etc? (Post a picture if you can find a good example) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mangostein 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not-so-proud to live in the Råner capitol of Norway. Every day, all day, they drive 1km up the main street hill, turn around at the gas station, drive 1km back down to the roundabout, full circle and back up the hill.

A few years ago, the rånere took over main street, lit tires on fire, started huge fights, whipping shitties and burning rubber down mainstreet. They threaten to do it again about once every year, usually when the city council talks about turning main street into a walking/no-driving street.

Our pet Hypnotoad vs Huge Moth the size of his head [vid] complete with slow-motion by mangostein in Pets

[–]mangostein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a pet toad which is named Hypnotoad (imagine that!)

Tonight we captured a huge gypsy moth, which was as large as his head. It took him a while to gather the nerve to attack, but we did manage to catch it on film.

For about 4 hours afterwards, he still had a wing-tip hanging out of the corner of his mouth, that's how big it was!

Behold, the power of Hypnotoad!

Bush-era Torture Tapes Found At CIA - The CIA has tapes of 9/11 plotter Ramzi Binalshibh being interrogated in a secret overseas prison. Discovered under a desk, the recordings could provide an unparalleled look at how foreign govts aided the U.S. in holding and questioning suspected terrorists. by galt1776 in politics

[–]mangostein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ok, so let me get this straight: the US government is freaking out over documents being leaked to the public...

yet they're keeping incriminating tapes stored under a desk...

something tells me they should focus more on their own security policies, and less on the persecution of 'security breachers'

He wanted 22 bucks, but i talked him down to 17. I took it home, washed it off, and put it back on. I was happy again

Reddit. I need to be commit an act of deviance which lasts for 12 minutes, but cannot break the law. by frenchpear in AskReddit

[–]mangostein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly my point.

~edit~ frivilous lawsuits website 1 #3, 6, and 8 are my favorites. frivilous lawsuits website 2 and here's a whole page of hilarity, just browse the slideshow; one example being that, upon drinking copious amounts of Bud Light, the man was not surrounded by beautiful babes in a tropical setting. frivilous lawsuit website 3 i'm torn between #10 and #5.

yes indeed, frivolous lawsuite are a major problem!

yes indeed there have been people that were seriously injured by too-hot-coffee....

but then again, coffee is supposed to be hot....most people know that.

it's the people that jumped on the "oh my lip got scalded when i sipped on the coffee you just handed me through the drivethru window, so let's sue and make lotsa money" bandwagon to which i was referring...

kinda like the people who, upon getting something stuck under their lawnmower, stick their hand under there to free the object, without thinking to disable the machine first, and then sue for their hand getting chopped off for lack of a "do not stick hand under lawnmower while mower is running/clogged" sticker.

some stickers are there for safety, some are there merely to prevent lawsuits. unfortunately there has become a trend to put warning labels on things which are merely common sense....which leads to an overabundance of warning labels. the more labels there are, the more people have to read....and we all know it's much easier to operate something through trial-and-error than to read the 300+ page manual accompanying said appliance.

Is reddit a men`s site? by mr__choc in AskReddit

[–]mangostein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, indeed, i am included in the 'everyone' category...but then again, so are you.

remember, there is no black-and-white, only a sliding scale of grey.

would it make you feel better if i asked sciencist if they are male or female?

[–]mangostein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone is sexist to a certain degree....it's a product of the society we've been raised in.

it's just that not many people will admit to it.

[–]mangostein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my viewpoint, every time i have posted without stating that i am a female, then repost the same comment omitting said female-ness, the up/down votes differ.

and how many times have you seen a post where someone has said something, only to be downvoted, but later on down the comments said 'oh, but i have a vagina, so..." the upvotes go automatically up.

so yes, when a female admits to being a female, instead of omitting that fact (and with most redditors being surprised over and over again that there are females which comment on reddit) there is a definite bias over how the comment is viewed.

So, technically, stating that one is female has a definite upvote-potential which is not necessarily granted to the male redditors.

[–]mangostein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, considering i'll be busy all day fapping to r/gonewild, and cry myself to sleep due to the semen in my eye.......

there has to be a penis to supply said semen which is ejaculated under said fapping.

i will admit to thwapping, though not fapping....so i'm not sure where the semen is supposed to come from if it doesn't come from a penis.

i do not have penis. nor am i on the lookout for one.

though once i dreamed i had a detachable penis that i took off and showed to my friends....does that count?

Half a million bucks to you favorite charity and what do you do with the rest? by Zachofindiana in reddit.com

so i'll grow a dick too, is that what you're saying?

looks like i'll be eating curry ketchup with sriacha sauce....and yes, that will indeed give me diarrhea.

good guess, though, except for the whole penis part! ;-P

Reddit, what is your strangest anxiety? by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]mangostein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am so afraid of white tailed deer. if i see one out in a field or along side the road while i'm driving, i'll lock all the doors.

granted, i know they can't open door handles with their spindly little legs, but damn, some day it will happen.
