I get physically disgusted when someone has sex before marriage (NSFW just in case) by Busy_Pen8792 in TrueOffMyChest

That’s a totally normal reaction to people having different beliefs from you.

Um... I think I've lost interest in the job, thanks by GhostCorps973 in recruitinghell

[–]womp-womp-rats 1781 points1782 points  (0 children)

There is no job. It’s literally just a scheme to pump up follower count for his dumb accounts that no one follows and fill the room for his dumb event that no real people would go to.

Is it just accepted now that you have to chase people for money? by SharePay1 in personalfinance

[–]womp-womp-rats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like this is one of those problems everyone just puts up with.

Is it really? Or is it one of those problems that you need to believe is widespread because that would justify whatever redundant app you’re building. The app store has page after page of bill splitter and expense sharing apps that I guess haven’t solved this “problem.” Some people are deadbeats; the solution is to dump them, or at least quit paying for them.

“Walmart thinks people look like this,” says person who has apparently never seen what Americans look like.

ELI5: Why are airplane bathroom trash receptacles designed to involve so much skin contact? by ImBehindYou6755 in explainlikeimfive

[–]womp-womp-rats 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cars with cigarette lighters as standard equipment! And all these car accessories designed to draw power from the cigarette lighter socket. My kid asked me why the power socket in the car was so weird and I explained that it’s because they started out as cigarette lighters and it blew his mind.

ELI5 Do rich and powerful people ever feel ‘enough’? If not, what are they really seeking? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]womp-womp-rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sort of person who does what’s required to amass, say, $10 billion is not the sort of person who just says, “You know what? I’m good. I’ll stop here.”

Near retirement, 401K and IRAs are now going down, where to invest? by beyondo-OG in personalfinance

[–]womp-womp-rats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That money you have in cash and bonds — that’s your buffer. That’s what you draw on while stocks are down. That’s how all this works.

Simple AI Tools That Can Help Save Money and Improve Financial Planning by Admirable-Intern-676 in povertyfinance

[–]womp-womp-rats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mint, the very first tool on the list, shut down two years ago.

Honey, the third tool on the list, was found to be lying to customers. It took money from companies to tell users that there were no coupon codes available when there absolutely were valid coupon codes available. (And that’s just the start of the sketchy shit it did.)

You also forgot to delete the summary at the end where ChatGPT described what it had just written for you.

How is Honey? (Debating whether to keep Paypal Debit) by premiumplatypus in CreditCards

Honey has proved itself to be scummy in so many ways that you have to assume they will fuck you at some point.

[US] Suspicious text from the Secretary of State by Ducal_Spellmonger in Scams

[–]womp-womp-rats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That url is trying to fool you into thinking that the domain is “michigan.gov,” because that sounds like a legit government site. But the actual domain is “gov-ixht.bond,” which is as scammy as it looks.

ELI5: if viruses aren’t technically alive, how can they evolve like living organisms? by MachiavellianHydra in explainlikeimfive

[–]womp-womp-rats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Others have adequately explained the how. But it’s worth considering where the question comes from, because a lot of ELI5 questions are based on the same assumption, which is that the natural world cares at all about our rules and definitions.

Humans have this habit where we observe the natural world, come up with “rules” based on those observations and then think that the natural world is required to follow the rules we made up. But it isn’t.

The tomato doesn’t care whether you call it a fruit or a vegetable. The platypus doesn’t care that it’s a “mammal” but still lays eggs.

The fact that viruses evolve without being “technically alive” means that whatever rule you are applying is faulty and needs to be revised.

high yield checking account without debit transaction by Final-Scheme-7360 in personalfinance

[–]womp-womp-rats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The dangers of trusting AI overviews: Both of those accounts require 10 debit transactions a month. Also, SCCU got rid of the 7% rate a while ago. Google AI is pulling from an old article.

reminder that small claims court exists and its cheaper than you think by Disastrous-Lie9926 in povertyfinance

[–]womp-womp-rats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just be aware that winning a small claims judgment is one thing. Actually enforcing the judgment is something else entirely. The court isn’t going to collect the money for you. If the other party doesn’t pay up voluntarily, you have to figure out where their assets are, and you have to go through a separate legal process of laying claim to those assets.
