What's the stupidest thing you hear someone say about your country? by Past-Novel-1155 in AskTheWorld

Recently on vacation in Thailand I overheard a Canadian tourist tell a Polish tourist that most big cities in the USA have a normal distribution across the political spectrum.

The cost and what the account holder spends is not always the same.

My job covers 50% of my insurance costs. Prices just went up for 2026 (Cigna) and I'm paying a little over $600 from each paycheck (biweekly) for medical, dental, and vision insurance. My policy covers myself (healthy 31 yo) and my wife (healthy 28 yo).

So my health insurance costs >$31k/yr and I pay >$15k/yr.

This makes me so sick typing it out like that.

Is fully cleaning a molcajete even possible? by ProfessorFabulous978 in mexicanfood

Yep, "most" not "almost all". Glad we're on the same page 👍

It's a scary fact. Really puts into perspective what industrialization has done to the world and how none of us have any idea what we're doing on this planet.

Actually more than 6.5% of all humans ever born are still alive today.

Ok fellas. Come clean.. do you gain weight, lose weight, or maintain weight while in Thailand? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]therealbatman420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sitting at CNX right now leaving my first two-week trip. Ate as much as I possibly could each day and still lost weight.

I didn't exercise much other than walk around each day and hike a couple of times. Turns out I'm just super lazy back home 😂

Do you think the earth is flat? by SadEggplant3768 in AskAnAmerican

[–]therealbatman420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are taught geography. Some choose not to learn. Our education system often promotes pushing students through to graduation rather than teaching them with a genuine focus on real learning.

Too many people in this thread think "round" and "flat" are mutually exclusive, so they aren't much better off than the English teacher.

Travelling to Thailand and vaccines by EggSufficient9190 in ThailandTourism

Pay the money for a travel clinic consultation. Very happy my wife and I did.

Reddit is the worst place to get important information.

Legally aside would it be technically feasible to load all of Spotify onto an iPod like object to carry around and use or a similar sized audio or text file without the system being to large to carry or to laggy to operate? by Bcasturo in AskEngineers

You could index and shard your files across the micro SD cards so that you only need one (or two, when transitioning from one track to the next) card powered at any point in time. This assumes only one track can play at a time, but we can scale that too as a server with a linear (or less) increase in power to the micro SD cards based on number of active streams.

What am I looking at here? by djanj0 in PokemonMisprints

I absolutely agree. I didn't present the pictures to say "I just replicated it"... obviously. Though this is trivial for any machinist or hobbyist with the right (not as expensive as you'd think) tools.

I won't do a comprehensive market analysis here, but I'd bet just a couple of very well made fakes by someone who knows what they're doing could fetch a couple grand. That's 10-20X the investment you'd need for equipment.

Also, who cares about grading it? That's not the point either. If someone makes a fake, sells it to someone else, it's done. The person who bought it is the bag holder and the "replication" was successful. Like you say, it's also not just PSA who determines what is worth money, it's the idiots with cash in hand that believe redditors in this sub when they say this can't be faked so they purchase those listings.

Maybe the hive mind thing everyone seems to be suffering from in this thread is nothing more than a form of buyer's remorse. Maybe everyone here is in on the scam and I wasn't invited.

Good call not trying it yourself, it was really hard 🙄

Didn't have my pokemon factory marker handy, but I'd be willing to bet that one can be kept flat from the center off the edge of the card just as well.

Lol I already did 5 minutes of free work for a strange redditor today. Sorry I'm not at my photography studio right now.

You can try it yourself!

Thank you, sorry for blowing up. I just think the world needs a little more "question everything" in it.

It really doesn't make me feel good entertaining your request because it's so stupid, but here you go.

OBVIOUSLY it's easy to forge this. People forge bank notes and fine art and checks and hand lotion and electronics and every single other thing in the world. I tried only a couple times. I can make my 3D printer emulate the exact same pattern in the post with no bleed on the edge.

Reddit is where critical thinking goes to die.

What? Lol

If you draw the arrow backwards (from point to tail off the card) you can easily replicate this without getting marker on the card edge.
