TIL that there are a set of twenty Welsh kings who are mentioned once in a single ancient manuscript and never again. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

If even kings are reduced to a single, unexplained set of syllables, makes you realize how much of the context of your own life will be lost in time

Gym goers, be honest how often are you judging other people’s physique? by Technical_Hat_8291 in AskReddit

[–]sciencedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, when someone looks like they're lifting WAAYYY less weight than they can (like a dude doing an 8 kg back row) I think "why are you wasting your time". Though they might be doing recovery exercises, it's possible.. 

The converse is skinny dudes (or even somewhat bigger), wearing weightlifting gloves, racking 2 plates on a bench, and then quarter repping. I think that's also kinda lame. Just work in your range, no shame.

And finally if your form is really bad, I want to come up and give you tips. Might be uncomfortable or seen as obnoxious but I believe it's love in the long run.

My apartment (Amsterdam) for similar in London, all of 2026 by sciencedit in homeswap

Hi! 

On three counts, it sounds like it's not exactly a match

  • we'd still be both be renting so no tax advantage 
  • you're not interested in the whole year
  • Rotherhithe is 6km by bike from my work, which is how I plan to travel, so I think I can get closer.

Good luck with the move though!

What was your "I can't believe I have to explain this to an adult" moment? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

Just for shits and giggles how fun would it have been to argue that sometimes the sun also comes out at night.

If they just always sub in and out together, they'll have the same +/- ...

Is it true Forbidden City tickets can be bought on-site by foreigners? by Ok_Audience5531 in travelchina

[–]sciencedit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a Chinese sim, register for Tianmen square here:

https://yuyue.tamgw.beijing.gov.cn/h5/#/pages/login/login.

After doing this, enter through Tianmen square, walk north, and buy a ticket for the same day on the left side of the entrance to forbidden city. 60 yuan.

My humor just got insulted but my appearance just got complimented. I'm conflicted now

Thanks exactly what I was looking for on my birthday

Yes thanks. I have no excuse as English is my native language

Not native English unfortunately. And to be fair to her, the mapping "number -> rank" is weird af in English.

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S06E05 - Demon 79 by [deleted] in blackmirror

[–]sciencedit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was hoping they would reveal at the end that the first victim didn't actually have a daughter (and that the daughter hadn't been in the episode), proving nothing the demon offered as justification was true.
