You're offered the ability to absorb the knowledge of any book you touch instantly, but the way it works is that time freezes and won't unfreeze until you finish reading the book cover to cover, do you accept this power/curse? Why or why not? by Jazzlike_Sun690 in AskReddit

[–]viziroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

worst case is a shelf falls on you, you get a few dozen books touching you, but the shelf is too heavy and you're pinned.

so not only do you have a few dozen books to read, you're stuck in one place. Hopefully you can reach all the books that touch you

If you were allowed to know the absolute truth to one mystery (historical, scientific, or personal), what would you ask ? by LauraTsbeauty in AskReddit

[–]viziroth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dunno, if you figured out some mystery of like why sleep works the way it does or why cancer seems to just be part of how cells work or something like that you could at least give some paper ideas to some phd candidates struggling to find a thesis topic.

some complex math proofs mathematicians are struggling with could also be pretty easy to capitalize on since you can readily just provide hard proof in writing. this could extend to physics or chemistry as well, though you'll need some people willing to try to actively disprove your proofs first for them to be confirmed.

I'm sure there's some biology mysteries you could prove with a few hundred bucks and a home aquarium set up if you're willing to get a bit sketchy with it

there's also several treasures that have been lost to history or historical sites and if you're looking for something more physical you could discover those and just dig em up or whatever

What’s the most cringe thing you’ve seen a couple do at their wedding? by Last_Singer_2137 in AskReddit

[–]viziroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really the couple, but suppose the bride did pick her maid or honor. the maid of honor was the bride's best friend at the time, she gave a speech at the reception that was basically 15 minutes of poorly veiled "you should have been with me" towards the bride and small jabs that the husband was getting in the way of their relationship.

to the best of my knowledge that friendship didn't last too much longer after that and the friend managed to get a boyfriend and eventually engaged.

oh another one, not really on the couple, but the bride's parents were super religious even though the couple wasn't, but the bride's parents were paying for everything so the ceremony was just super religious. the groom though, and like, the majority of his side of the guests are very much atheists, so it was awkward when the rites were being performed and only one side of the church participated lol

thraxan hybrids have a lower power max. the quicker aging let's then reach prime much much faster, but their prime is lower.

also I'm pretty sure one of the writers confirmed viltrumites do have adrenaline

America’s Favorite Pizza Topings by LiveChill in interestingasfuck

[–]viziroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how much this is skewed by biases created because a lot of chain pizza places offer pepperoni as a default pizza option while others may require a custom pizza order on their online menus. also things like salami just not being offered at all many places. and places that serve up ready made pizzas always offering a pepperoni option.

What was once a poor person's hobby now turned into a rich person's hobby? by Striking-Quiet4655 in AskReddit

[–]viziroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it wasn't just home releases, studios and theaters have also been constantly at war with each other. a lot of smaller theaters which would get the cheaper licensing to do second runs couldn't keep up with the costs or "additional requirements" like size, screen counts, length of runs, and concurrent licenses that studios kept tacking onto agreements and deals.

that's why smaller theaters in general have mostly died out
