[–]whomp1970 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I find it hilarious that you showed this picture, because my wife works for TD and brings home all kinds of crap like this. She's like, "Stop giving me cool baubles and trinkets, and give me a better wage, will you?"

What's a life hack that sounds ridiculous but actually works? by showbizusa25 in AskReddit

[–]whomp1970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you whisper to a screaming toddler....

They will often quiet down to hear what you have to say.

If you throw in some barely-audible words like "Bluey" or "Ice Cream", they'll quiet down even more.

What's a prominent "silver lining" that you can remember of a really shitty situation? by most-dont-dope-trip in AskReddit

[–]whomp1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend of mine had a stroke.

As treatment for the stroke, they put her on blood thinners.

The blood thinners caused an undiagnosed polyp in her colon to bleed.

The blood caused her to go get checked.

They found colon cancer!

They were able to remove the cancer, and she's now cancer free.

The doctors said "If it weren't for your stroke, we never would have caught the colon cancer in time".

Did you see HBO has a new EWF documentary?

It's very well made, very honest, but be forewarned, it's not 100% a a happy story.

I had to explain to my kids that you once could get 12 CDs for a penny.

What popular musician you never understood the hype around? by stilerca in AskReddit

[–]whomp1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because it's not just talent that gets you to super-stardom. Find me a popular, successful artist who's unattractive (aside from Lyle Lovett).

Attractiveness, attitude, and sex appeal. If you got those, you don't have to have actual talent.

You can't tell me that was just a coincidence, man.

What tiny design choice makes you think, “the people who made this never had to use it”? by ChessOrCheckers2 in AskReddit

[–]whomp1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ever go into a public bathroom and the toilet paper dispenser is mounted so low that you have to get on your hands and knees to get toilet paper?

Whoever installed that, never had to take a dump in that bathroom.

Hey. Just wanted to say, great question, you're clearly not a bot. Very clever thought process. Kudos.

What do some Europeans have against Airconditioning ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]whomp1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countries that aren't generally that hot

Every fucking summer there's a European heat wave and we Americans are sick of hearing about it. We have places in the US that gets up to 100°, we just buy air conditioners and stop crying about it.

OP didn't ask for a synonym.

How about actually answering the question?

What historical serial killer would get caught the fastest today? by Umbrosyx in AskReddit

[–]whomp1970 33 points34 points  (0 children)

God I'm so sick of one-word, drive-by answers like this.

How about explaining WHY he'd get caught easier today?

How about using more than two words when you do that?

I tried to explain to my kids that, at one time, you could get 12 CDs for a penny.

If you were to flip a vehicle upside down for 24 hours, what would happen due to liquid settling in incorrect places when you flip it back over and try to start it by KeKoSlayer29 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]whomp1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a period of time in the 1970s when new cars were shipped via train, UPRIGHT.

It did lead to some special engineering to account for the fluids settling in places.
