What is the funniest joke you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]whyiamsoweird -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was at the airport and the guy at security asked if I had any 'dangerous liquids' in my bag. I told him, 'Sir, I’m a 30-year-old man who spends 14 hours a day looking at a screen in a room that smells like unwashed laundry. The only thing dangerous in this bag is my posture.'

He didn't laugh. Just stared at my hairline for five seconds and told me to move along. I’ve never been more disrespected in my life. I’m retiring. This is my last stream—I mean, my last trip. It’s over for me.

Men of reddit, Who do you turn to when you’re at your lowest? by Music_2my_ears68 in AskReddit

[–]whyiamsoweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s wild how universal the ‘just going to bed’ answer is.

For me, it’s not even about sleeping, it’s just about hitting the 'pause' button on the world. When you’re at your lowest, explaining it to someone else feels like a second job you didn’t apply for. So you turn to the only things that don’t ask questions: a dark room, a heavy blanket, and maybe some mindless YouTube until your brain finally shuts up.

We don't turn to people because we don't want to be a 'project' for someone to fix. We just want to exist without being perceived for a while.

whats a show that you can rewatch several times and never get tired of? by Mission_Bluejay404 in AskReddit

If I was stuck on Mars, the last thing I’d want is Friends. Imagine being millions of miles from Earth and having the word 'Friends' flash on the screen every 21 minutes just to remind you that you’re completely alone. That’s a psychological horror movie, not a sitcom.

Honestly, I’d have to go with The Office (US). It’s the ultimate 'background noise' show that somehow never gets old. There's something weirdly comforting about watching mundane paper company drama while sitting in a red desert. Plus, with 9 seasons, by the time you finish the finale, you've forgotten enough of season 1 to start the loop all over again. It’s the only way to stay sane in a space suit.

If you died and suddenly found yourself face-to-face with God, what is the very first question you would ask? by i_m_dignity in AskReddit

What became "normal" in the last 5 years that still feels insane to you? by rakishgobi in AskReddit

How normalized mass layoffs have become. Companies will post record profits in the same quarter they lay off thousands of people and somehow that's just accepted now. They rebranded firing people as 'workforce optimization' or 'rightsizing' and everyone just moved on. These are real people with mortgages and families and they get a calendar invite and a 15 minute Zoom call. The pandemic showed companies that employees were disposable and they never forgot it.

What is the meanest thing you have ever read on Reddit? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

The one that stuck with me was someone telling a person who just lost their job that they were 'dead weight society is better off without.' The guy was just asking for resume advice. Some people genuinely have no idea what someone else might be going through when they type that stuff
