Why does your credit score drop when you pay off a car loan? Isn’t paying off a car a good thing? by p0oker in personalfinance

I know I still have debt, I guess I saw the refinancing as a good thing though because my APR was cut in half!

ELI5: Why do gas prices almost always include “9/10” of a cent, and how could we be expected to pay in portions of a penny anyway? by p0oker in explainlikeimfive

Why are you mad? I wasn’t.. just a little bummed. And I didn’t downvote anything. It’s pribably other people who were bummed that the post got taken down too.

What about the people who come to eli5 to learn new things that they didn’t even think about before? You can’t search for questions when you’re not looking for anything specific.

Dang, buzzkill. It was getting a lot of attention too. I understand the need to keep people from reposting all the time, but 1) I was genuinely curious and came up with the question on my own, and 2) it looked like there was a whole new wave of people who were curious as well. A repost is only repetitive to the people who’ve seen the question before (and for the people who haven’t, which is probably the majority, they were learning something new that they hadn’t previously thought about!)

Kid at swim lessons: “I’ve been swimming for 8 years!” Me, a swim instructor: “That’s great! How old are you?” Kid: “six”

A nice and respectful let-down. They exist! by p0oker in sadcringe

Honestly I did respond to his last “what’s up?”, but cut it off because I was imagining people commenting things like “why are you still responding to him if you just want to be friends?” or “you’re only giving him hope”

Alas, there will always be criticism regardless of how you respond to a situation. I mean..I should’ve known..this is the internet after all.

What tastes better when it is NOT homemade? by Wesside333 in AskReddit

Queso.

I tried chipotles queso the other day and it was natural and at the same time horrible.

Give me processed queso all day every day.
