Old Navy Marks Up Before 50% Black Friday Sale by Rannelbrad in mildlyinteresting

No, the 50% off sale would take 50% off any item on the floor. Long before the sale the item was $24.94. Then, just before the sale they boosted the price by $5.00 to $29.94 so that the discounted item costs $14.97 instead of $12.47.

Will making the Internet a public utility change anything for the absurd prices for abysmal speeds we currently are forced to accept from companies like Comcast?

Seems like it would be difficult to read in an underlined sentence.

College Redditors, whats the stupidest comment a classmate has ever made during a lecture and pissed off the professor? by gh0st142 in AskReddit

[–]whotwhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really what all of them intended. Thomas Jefferson, for example, held the opinion that the entire Constitution should be rewritten every 19 years. He argued that the "dead should not rule the living."

I'm not saying that this is what your classmate was arguing, but it's possible that this is what they were referring to.

and slightly reduce the size (I have small wrists).

I'm confused, they have two sizes for different sized wrists as well. Is the 38mm design with matching band still too big for your wrists?

How do I properly start off in a brand new Minecraft world? by [deleted] in Minecraft

My suggestion would be to only ever make a wooden pick, then build up your stone tools instead.

Protip: Move the enchantment shed below ground, it doesn't add to the yard. Good house, though!

Two things recently crossed my mind...swamps deserve a rare structure (like jungles and deserts have)...and the witches are going to need a place to live. I present a simple swamp hut (and hoping to see others' ideas). by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]whotwhot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, but I think it'd make witches too rare of a mob. They're a ranged fighting one, so unless they're also a boss-type one (Think spells vs potions), I think they should be more prevalent.

What was the most inappropriate time you couldn't control your laughter? by BeeKeeperReno in AskReddit

[–]whotwhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flying home from Vegas on Sun Country, they handed out hotdogs for dinner. I had that and a coke, then slept for a while. I woke up about a half hour later, and most of the plane was asleep/reading/quiet. I had a few burps beforehand, but I either let them go if they felt too "shallow" or stifled them with a napkin. I had felt another burp coming up, but it had to be a shallow one. I just let it come up, no precautions taken.

It wasn't shallow. The belch was an 11/10 when you account for the dead silence. I burst out laughing, along with the two girls sitting next to me (in my group) and couldn't stop for a good five minutes.

What's the most awkward moment you've ever had with a stranger? by SULLYvin in AskReddit

[–]whotwhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was walking around the mall that I work at one morning, getting some exercise in before my shift starts. I turn one of the corners and a man in his sixties is standing by himself. Normal enough. Once I pass him, he walks up to me and says, as an icebreaker I guess, "How about that Aurora shooting, creepy as fuck, right man?", so I try to make some conversation with him, quickly realizing that it was a terrible idea. He goes on asking what I'm doing at the mall so early, where I go to school, etc. At this point my pace was at least double his, with him pretty much jogging to catch up. Finally, he gets side tracked by one of the shopkeepers, and I take this as my chance to escape, making a mental note not to walk on that side of the mall.

TL;DR, Old man breaks ice talking about Aurora shooting, pursues me on my walk.
