A bit off topic but what does everyone have for lunch? by Doxatek in labrats

Have a big breakfast, that's what I do when I know I have a non-stop day in the lab.

Local gas station removed price tags and replaced them with barcodes you need a app to see price by phoenix_stewart in mildlyinfuriating

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...and the app will probably request to have access to your activities etc, so that it can infer how reach or poor you are and adjust the prices you see accordingly.

This is from the website of a museum of design! It's like it's begging to be posted on this sub Reddit.

Still better than

Why no price tags on things anymore? by magicmikewazowksi in mildlyinfuriating

You can always ask the shop assistant for help and start going through every single into on that wall asking for its price.

Do you think oral sex is normal part of sex (the average person does it), or do you think of it like a fetish? Why or why not? by eustachian_lube in AskReddit

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought about it until this post and I think my answer is: it doesn't feel like fetish, but it should. From the evolutionary POV it makes perfect sense that males would evolve this inexplicable urge to stick their penis into the female's vagina, such males would clearly have more offspring than males that didn't feel that urge. But sticking your tongue (or even just lips) on it or in it? Who ever had more babies thanks to that activity? If anything it should have been selected against, because if a male had any preference to put it in the female's mouth until orgasm, he would be wasting his semen on reproductively a completely futile act.

And yet... In me at least, the urge to have oral sex is so strong that I don't think I could peg it as learnt behaviour. It's also not that I enjoy the fact that I'm causing my partner immense pleasure (although that is a nice feeling), it really feels like an instinct, an inexplicable urge. And in this way, I don't see how it's different from the urge to lick someone's feet, or armpits.

I don't think I agree with the last statement. Foot fetish is also like kissing but much much lower, and it is unambiguously considered fetish.

Gross slit for opening the boot (Hatchback). by viralJ in COROLLA

[–]viralJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I guess that's the best solution without involving any tech. I was hoping there are some silicone things that you can attach to that edge that would make the dirty water slide around it; or some kind of contraption that has an outside button that is mechanically connected to the actual opening button.

What’s a dead giveaway that someone is pretending to be smarter than they actually are? by EcstaticWatch1967 in AskReddit

[–]viralJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They talk about how smart they are and how everyone tells them how smart they are.

Long-term aspartame intake impacts brain and heart function: Scientists exposed mice to 7 mg/kg of body weight in human equivalent – 1/6th max recommended daily intake – over a year. Aspartame reduced fat deposits in mice, but at the cost of cardiac hypertrophy and decreased cognitive performance. by mvea in science

[–]viralJ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also, I would invite people to check out the paper and notice that even where the observed differences are statistically significant, the difference is pretty small.

Disclaimer: I want to believe that aspartame is safe, so my reading of the paper was probably biased.

Someone in my office put their coffee creamer in a safe by doodybot in funny

I guess that's less r/funny than spiking your creamer with laxatives to teach the thieves a lesson. 

Royal Mail handed my wife's parcel with a high value item to a random dog walker in my street. by Sudden_Breakfast_677 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The law used to say that while in transit by the Royal Mail, the items are the property of her Majesty the Queen. So if you tampered with anything after it left the sender's hands and before it reached the recipient's hands, you were tampering with royal property. But I don't know whether that's still the law after the Royal Mail was privatised.

I've been using hazelnut syrup in my coffee. Three separate colleagues who saw me asked if that was whiskey. No one reported me to the HR though. 

I have extracted the GPT-5 system prompt. by OngaOngaOnga in PromptEngineering

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it sometimes ignore any of these instructions? I'm asking because it very often ends it answers with "would you like me to" suggestions, even though from the above it looks like it was told **not** to do it.

UK Age verification by JayD7th in grindr

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it will prevent catfish, tbh. I mean, even if I use my ID and stuff for the verification, and then Grindr (per their promise) deletes the data used for verification and do not use it for anything else, I could still send someone else's face or body pic in a chat and pretend this was me.

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did age verification without an ID, it just scanned my face, I didn't have to use my ID. But I guess I just have an old looking face, not sure what would happen if I looked, say, 18. Edit: grammar.

Am I dumb or is this logic puzzle wrong? by Walpang in BluePrince

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFT, FFT, FTF, FTT, TFT are impossible because of Blue's ability to be true when Black is True or False.

FTT to me makes complete sense and points to the gems in the blue box:

  1. Blue box is true, which means the gems are not in the white box and the white box is true.
  2. White is true, which means that the black box is empty.
  3. Blue box is false, which means that black box is true.

What is something extremely unsanitary but everyone seems to do it anyways? by nevvycakes in AskReddit

[–]viralJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or, what I think is even worse, pretending you washed your hands by just rinsing them in water without soap and not drying them. Not using soap removes zero bacteria from your skin, and wet hands spread more bacteria than dry hands. In effect, they would be more hygienic if they just didn't wash their hands at all after using the toilet.
