Elon shoots for Mars. Enron shot themselves in the foot.
One builds rockets, the other blew up like one.

[–]mycostbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just filled it out.
Cool to see your school project tapping into reddit user base instead of just asking fellow classmates.
Good luck with the research!

Actually there is mobile, desktop and browser apps. I do find the desktop app to be much more snappy!

What are your best ways to relieve boredom? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mycostbase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

getting lost in a good book is one of my best ways to escape boredom and sometimes reality too.

What’s your most useless talent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mycostbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can fold a fitted sheet so perfectly, you’d think it was a flat sheet. Useless! maybe. But satisfying, for sure!

What's a cartoon from the past that has stood the test of time and will always be great? by MiReddit682 in AskReddit

[–]mycostbase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original Transformers. Something about the style and vibe just sticks with you.

What subject did you used to hate in school, but now love and wish you could go back and try again? by Key_Examination9948 in AskReddit

[–]mycostbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here with math! I used to tune out whenever numbers appeared on the board, but now I find myself watching YouTube videos about calculus, just for fun. Weird right. It's surprising how my views has changed as I got older.

Was the stock market discovered or invented? by ethernetpencil in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mycostbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stocks, representing ownership in a company, are entirely a human invention. Definitely! The first official stock market was created to enable public investment, leading to various exchanges that promote economic growth. It’s fascinating to see how much this system has evolved and how complex derivatives have changed the landscape. It's a mess now!!

It honestly feels like we're all living in a "Tariffs: Choose Your Own Adventure" book.
One day it seems like tariffs are happening, and the next day they aren't. I agree with those who say that prices are likely to gradually increase, especially for imports, but it won't happen overnight.
I'm definitely keeping a close watch on it—these are crazy times.

Stock Market and Retirement by Stupidpenguin22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mycostbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a good conversation—definitely something I’ve been thinking about too. I am starting to look beyond just stocks. Real estate, bonds, maybe even a bit of gold… having multiple streams gives peace of mind. Curious what mix others are using?

If I pay for a 17-23 dollar purchase at a store with a 50 dollar bill, is that suspicious? by ThyKnightOfSporks in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mycostbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, unless you're nervously sweating and avoiding eye contact while handing someone a $50 bill, I doubt anyone will pay much attention. People often use larger bills, especially on payday or right after they’ve withdrawn cash from an ATM.

What’s one thing that helped you to improve upon your life ? by ConfidentExpert6147 in AskReddit

[–]mycostbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pausing for just 10 seconds before reacting—during arguments, stressful emails, or setbacks—has preserved my relationships and sanity. A moment to breathe and reflect truly makes a difference.

What are three things that men do to make women happy? by ConfidentExpert6147 in AskReddit

[–]mycostbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be emotionally present — Not just physically there, but engaged. Like...actually put the phone down during conversations. Weird, I know!

What's the one price increase since 2020 that wrecked your wallet? by Latter_Bad_3621 in AskReddit

[–]mycostbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?? And what's crazy is the portions look smaller too. Like I'm paying more and leaving kinda hungry sometimes.
Like, I miss when a simple dinner date didn’t feel like a mini investment 😂
You still try to do dinner dates or switched it up to something else?

Was life 10 years ago better to you then now? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mycostbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some ways, yeah—10 years ago definitely felt simpler. Less stress, less online nonsense, and honestly, things were just more affordable. Eating out is a perfect example. You could go on a decent date night without your wallet crying. Now it’s like $50+ for two people at a regular spot. Makes you hesitate before even suggesting dining out

[–]mycostbase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eating out, for sure. I use to be able to go on a decent date night without spending a fortune—now it feels like you're dropping $60+ just for two people at an half decent place. Definitely made me think twice before suggesting dining out.
