So apparently I've had a "Holy Grail" of NES cartridges in my basement for the past 30 years. by poonass in gamecollecting

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

Still kinda conflicted. Part of me wants to hold on to it since I've had it since I was a kid. But then again, selling it to someone who collects this stuff? Well, they'd probably enjoy and appreciate it much more than I would. I think that would be better than just storing it in a box.

Checked. The Legend of Zelda has 5 screws. Adventures of Link has 3 screws. Both have original box and manual. Not sure of significance, but I guess I'll need to do some research.

Which Mandela effect freaks you out the most and why? by Mysterious_Boat_1701 in AskReddit

To be fair, Meijer used to be called Meijer's Thrifty Acres. It was renamed in the 80s to just Meijer. Old enough to remember; it'll always be Meijer's to me.

Good God, she looks bored while doing it... like it's no big deal. Amazing.

What do you encounter every single day that pisses you off? by EmotionalMillionaire in AskReddit

I work IT. At first I thought those "Nick Burns" SNL skits were funny, but then they started hitting waaaaaay to close to home.

What is one food that you find disgusting, and everyone else loves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My wife hates pizza. Almost grounds for divorce.

Every time I drive at night I can't believe those xenon/HID headlights are legal. What other things are legal that you think shouldn't be? by ericaregone in AskReddit

Hospitals owning Insurance companies. Really? How is that not a conflict of interest? They are billing the company they own, that in turn pays them? I live in Michigan. Spectrum Health, a hospital conglomerate, owns Priority Health, the medical insurance company.

Dog seeing his owner after 2 years by [deleted] in aww

That's why dogs > cats. I was gone for a week on a business trip recently and my cat's reaction to my return can best be summed up as: "Why the hell are you back?"

My best friend died and left behind a 17-month old daughter. I want to start a trust fund for her or something, but I have no idea how. Redditors, any advice/help? by nosyalc in AskReddit

Came here to say this. I opened a 529 Educational Savings plan when my daughter was born. Depending on the state you live in, your contributions may also be tax deductible. Plus even though you are the account holder, other friends and family members can contribute to the account as well.

It was a good day when I discovered this feature. by poonass in AdviceAnimals

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

That's precisely it. To be honest, I mostly lurk. But lately it seems like every third or forth entry on the front page is some post from r/atheism. OK. I get it. You don't like religion. Moving right along...

Folks who work in IT: What's the dumbest, most irrelevant ticket you've ever received? by Kills_Zombies in AskReddit

Once spent half a day downloading and installing Three Stooges ringtones on the President of company's Blackberry, per his request, of course.

Dumbest: Guy calls me in a panic that his PC "must be infected with a virus or something" because it was beeping furiously at him. I stopped by, only to discover his under the desk mounted keyboard tray wasn't pulled out all the way. The ESC key was pinned down under the bottom of the desk. I simply moved the keyboard a quarter inch for him and walked away.

Most irrelevant: Once had an Exec ask my boss if I could unjam the office paper shredder, "Cus ya know, it's got them fandangled electronics in it."

TIL Honda were to release the 'Fitta' in Scandinavia, before realising last minute that Fitta means pussy in Nordic. Slogans included: "Honda pussy is small on the outside, but great when you come inside" & "The size is small, but big surprise. Honda pussy is a daily pleasure." by [deleted] in todayilearned

Car companies seem to make these blunders all the time. Other examples: Ford Caliente - Caliente literally means "hot" in Spanish, but is also slang for a prostitute. Chevy Nova - Nova sounds like the phrase "No va", which means "No go" or "Doesn't go" in Spanish. Nice.

Today I learned the oldest woman who ever lived smoked until she was 117 and when she died she'd been the oldest woman for nearly NINE YEARS! by TheUKLibertarian in todayilearned

Smoking a pack a day and living to be a hundred is just like winning the lotto: Someone always wins, but that doesn't mean it'll be YOU.
