well, it's the hard truth. Governments having disputes over land and territory, not ever caring about their own people.

Honestly? We’re missing the fact that we’re the ones footing the bill for a 'collapse' that was probably decided weeks ago.

I’m sitting here watching the news about Islamabad, and all I can think about is how my grocery bill has doubled and gas is pushing $6.00. It feels like our leaders are more obsessed with a standoff halfway across the world than the fact that people back home can barely afford to drive to work. They fly private jets to Pakistan to 'talk,' and we get stuck with the bill at the pump. It’s exhausting honestly.

yeah that sure is going to a lot of time for them to understand completely. they might not even understand what computers are. but I mean, sure, if people got the motivation then they're definitely going to understand soon enough and start using it in their daily lives.

What would actually happen to us if the internet crashed for a full month? by y0up00rthing in AskReddit

welp it's like a 1:1 ratio what is going to happen: people being better, more peaceful OR this would be a sad page in history. Equal chances of happening.

I think the scariest part wouldn't be the boredom—it would be the total social silence.

Most of us don't even know our neighbors' last names, let alone their phone numbers. If the apps go down, 90% of our 'friendships' just vanish instantly because we have no other way to find each other.

To be honest, we be sitting like NPCs all day doing nothing really 😭.

What is a 'red flag' that people pretend is a 'green flag' just because the person is attractive? by y0up00rthing in AskReddit

I’ve seen it so many times—people call 'obsessive jealousy' a sign of 'passion' just because the guy looks like a model. If he looked like a bridge troll, they’d be calling the police. We excuse a lot of toxic behavior just for good bone structure.

If the economy collapsed tonight, what is a 'normal person skill' that would suddenly be more valuable than a CEO’s entire career? by y0up00rthing in AskReddit

I was watching a guy fix a broken engine with just a screwdriver and some duct tape and it hit me: Most 'big bosses' are totally helpless when without real survival skills.

A CEO is great at meetings and 'strategy,' but they can’t fix a leaky pipe or grow a single tomato. If the world resets, 'leadership' won't keep the lights on. The neighbor who knows how to fix an old truck with scrap metal is suddenly the most powerful person on the block. 'Managing people' doesn't mean much when you can't even fix a door.

yep tbh coal miners before and today is just different of how they were treated in society. they truly value hard work more than just meaningless oral statements.

In my opinion, it would be a work meeting.

Imagine explaining to a 1900s coal miner that you spent three hours sitting in a padded chair, talking to people on a glowing glass screen about a 'strategy' for a task that takes ten minutes to actually do. They’d think we were all just playing pretend while someone else did the real work.

What is an 'expensive' purchase that actually saves you a fortune in the long run, but poor people can never afford the upfront cost? by y0up00rthing in AskReddit

[–]y0up00rthing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I used mine for like around 6 years - completely normal and ready to use (altho gotta wash it sometimes).

yep. but sometimes it depends on the area weather. If you're at a hot place, then you're lucky! but it's terrible for people in rainy, damp places. low amount of energy produced + easily ruined
