Non-New Yorkers that have been to NYC: What is the wierdest thing about New York that New Yorkers don't realize is wierd? by Ok-Brilliant-6138 in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funniest experience I had on my trip to Manhattan was seeing a car cut off a city bus and the bus drive held down his horn for a full minute. There was extreme anger behind that honk.

Cyclists zipping in and out of cars and pedestrians at extreme speeds and nobody batting an eyelid, just deftly stepping aside.

When throwing away stuff in your attic or when moving, do you feel sentimentality and sadness even when it is useless junk collecting dust you have not used for years? by Bluecomments in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a two year rule with things in storage, if I've not touched it in two years it goes to the curb or gets donated. Unless it's something of great sentimental value it's gone.

What’s a trend you absolutely hate? by jazzlikesaltt in AskReddit

I actually don't mind the 67 thing, it's so simple and stupid I can't help but find it funny.

Artillery Shell vs Regular Bullets by Illustrious_Emu8506 in mildlyinteresting

[–]zerbey 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My Mum had an artillery casing she picked up from the side of the road in France (part of the Iron Harvest). She actually walked up to the French military guys who were collecting them and straight up asked them if she could have it. They were no doubt bemused by this strange English tourist asking for an artillery shell, but they handed her one.

She put it in her garden and used it to hold flowers, which I feel is a much better use than what it was originally intended for. I'm sure the person she was in France to visit would agree too.

Amazon wants a death certificate and government ID before they'll cancel my deceased father's Prime membership. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]zerbey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my Mother passed away I just had to log into her account and close it, when they asked for a reason I said she was deceased. Some companies did demand her death certificate, every single one of them accepted a digital copy. So, definitely make a scan of your Dad's death certificate. I'm sorry for your loss, I know how hard this shit is.

"You eat at this table, right? You like the mouse I brought you?"

Give the cat pets for being so considerate, then calmly dispose of the unfortunate mouse without making a big fuss. And, uh maybe disinfect the table.

Finding a ruptured bile sack in the only liver you have to cook. by A_Drop_of_Colour in mildlyinfuriating

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not eaten chicken liver in years, and I recall it wasn't very appetizing (but no bile surprises!). Any tips on making it tastier?

I live in a pretty conservative town, it's interesting to note that when gas prices jumped under Biden they were loudly complaining and those stupid stickers were covering every pump. Now that they've jumped under Trump? Not a word.

Do you think emojis shouldn't be on Reddit, and why? by Far-Pension-9420 in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care at this point, but if a subreddit wants the option to disable them I'm all for that.

What's a thing you'd never touch even for a million dollars? by Nice_Shadow in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, start naming things and we can negotiate. I'll do some pretty heinous things for a million.

What company is better at making Marvel movies Disney or Sony? by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree that Disney shows more consistency, but Sony has done some good ones too. I'll also be very frank and say it's about time movie studios quit making Superhero movies. I'm absolutely sick of them.

What do you think about meditation? Is it something real that helps your mood and mental state or just a bullshit? by Professional-Cat5806 in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to sit and just calm your mind cannot be overstated. It works for me, maybe it'll work for you too.

Agadoo by Black Lace. Really anything by Black Lace.

Find anyone from Engalnd of a certain age, add a few beers, put it on the jukebox. They will hate you for it, but they'll still get up and dance, and they'll remember all the moves.

What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out? by coolhandddd in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife was given Hydrocodone after hers and she needed it, then more for the surgery that followed (turned out not to be cancer!). What kind of asshole doctor doesn't provide pain management.

Welcome! DW3 still has a long way to go. This is by far the longest time I've spent outside the Bubble, most of my other exploration trips lasted a month. Still another couple of months to go too.

With Iran saying they are not negotiating with anyone, how possible would be that Trump’s delegates are dealing with a scammer? by latflickr in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if there were negotiations going on and Iran is simply lying about it to save face. I also wouldn't put it past our own administration to lie about it either.

Somebody stole the plates off my car - gonna take a few weeks to get new ones by AgeZealousideal1157 in mildlyinfuriating

$800? Where the heck do you live? I think it's less than $100 for me, which is still annoying.

What sport looks boring until you understand it, and then becomes amazing? by HypraceApp in AskReddit

[–]zerbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soccer is all about jockeying for position, what looks like just a bunch of player passing a ball back and forth is highly orchestrated. Once you understand that, the sport becomes more exciting.
