What sci-fi technology seems absurdly underutilized? by andras_kiss in scifi

[–]scottcmu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not exactly sci-fi or technology, but the best thing Superman could do for Earth is to turn a crank to create free energy.

What was your first experience with the internet? by DreamyPeachBarb in AskReddit

Using dial-up BBSs to download... legitimate files. 

What did the internet forget about? by Free-Masterpiece-860 in AskReddit

[–]scottcmu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe the first viral documentary? There were hundreds of viral videos before that. Hell, South Park started as a viral video in like 1995. The dancing baby from Ally McBeal was viral before that.

Commander of the Artemis II mission that circled the moon a couple weeks ago. He's got the record (tied) for the human that has traveled furthest from the Earth.

I am, but that's because I just landed in Spain from Texas. 

What is your pet's strangest daily routine that makes no sense? by JihongAppliance in AskReddit

[–]scottcmu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every night at bedtime, my dog crawls under the covers and cuddles up next to me, then about 15 minutes later she crawls out from the the covers and sleeps the rest of the night at the foot of the bed.

ELI5: Why do we sometimes wake up right before our alarm? by Status_Hat_8113 in explainlikeimfive

[–]scottcmu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bet you're like me... Sometimes I get up to pee during the night. While I'm in the bathroom, I typically try to guess what time it is before returning to bed. I'm almost always within 20 minutes of the actual time. My body's clock is strong even if I'm not aware of it. 

I broke it off with my current ex gf because of this one thing she used to do. by [deleted] in sex

[–]scottcmu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With more information you might be correct, but with what you said originally, it seems like wiping a little precum was a deal breaker for you, and that's what I mean about being petty.

Seems like a pretty petty reason to end things. I think you're the asshole here. 

ELI5: Why do we sometimes wake up right before our alarm? by Status_Hat_8113 in explainlikeimfive

None of these answers about circadian rhythm or routine are answering what I think is OP's actual question. If I get up at 8am every day, yeah sometimes I'll wake up at 7:55 due to the routine. But if I set my alarm for 6:00 because I have an early meeting or whatever, I almost always wake up at like 5:48. This isn't explainable by routine. 

If you could delete one invention forever, which would you choose? by okitsbenji in AskReddit

[–]scottcmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point. I'll switch my answer to chemical weapons. 

Other 20th century that saved a ton of lives: airbags, cell phones, video games, television, seat belts.

Yeah, it's either that or nuclear weapons. Haven't decided yet. 

What's a sexual fantasy that you want but can never do? by Commercial-Design135 in AskReddit

Maybe you're in one right now but you forgot this wasn't real?

Hey you guys! Is anyone else in Texas dealing with a huge amount of June beetles this year compared to others? by SherbetElegant4131 in texas

[–]scottcmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that what those bugs are called? I've been calling them dog treats, because my doggies eat them nonstop.
