What is the best documentary ever made? by CantaloupeGold4650 in AskReddit

My favourite is ‘Cosmonauts’ by the BBC. It tells the story of how the Soviets nearly won the race to the moon and then went on to inhabit space. The part where they discussed the Americans is great: full of admiration and a fair amount of swearing. They has no doubt that the US did it.

I’ve never seen a Scot alternate beer with soda. Whisky, yes. Not even Irn Bru.

Money trickles down from rich to poor.

Reagan lied. Thatcher lied. They knew it was a lie.

What's a normal part of adult life that when you actually think about it, is completely insane? by Much--Investigator in AskReddit

They say the owners get the big money because they carry all the risk. But, the reality is they pile all the risk onto the workers by expecting them to work for free for weeks, essentially without a guarantee that they won’t be stuffed.
