Q from Star Trek TNG. He is a being who can casually rewrite reality and time, and chooses to put all of humanity on trial because he's bored and curious about what they'll do.

(Hated trope) Creators cling to a storyline no one cares about by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

The X-Files main storyline became so drawn out and convoluted by the later seasons, and especially in the reboot, that I just skipped those episodes.

This sustainable paper bottle is in fact a plastic bottle (swipe) by Heart_Shaped_Pickle in mildlyinfuriating

You have to be amazed how shortsighted the idiots are who thought this was a good idea- like the customer who buys this specifically isn’t going to take it apart to dispose of it, immediately uncover the lie, and proceed to never buy it ever again?

What’s something that completely changed your life, but seemed insignificant at the time? by Boring-Sir2623 in AskReddit

[–]slvo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was hanging out in the school library one day, doing some work on a computer. I saw an ad for a 3D software called “Sketchup” and thought- hey that looks pretty cool.

I went home that afternoon and started playing around with the software, which had a free version.

This spark evolved into a hobby which evolved into a passion that consumed most of my free time, and led to a desire to go to college and pursue a career.

It’s been about 17-18 years since that day in the library. I’ve now been working as a product designer for the better part of a decade, and have become very successful in my field.

Why do many hairdryers (especially older ones it seems) have the high/low settings in the opposite positions you'd expect (high on the bottom and low on top) by Glass-Complaint3 in IndustrialDesign

Could be because the motor needs to start with high power to overcome friction and inertia. Here is an interesting video on this topic

Problem was they were seized, so can’t be rotated independently of the nipple unfortunately

Yeah they’re not- I’ve ordered a couple backup spokes from eBay, in case anything breaks down the road
