- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 15 hours ago:
The mythbusters episode convinced me. That water flush makes everything spiral upwards, and it lands in your toothbrush.
People who don’t put the toilet seat down are unaware they’re brushing with shit particles.
- Comment on YSK to get a passport in the US, you need to have access to information about your parents and most recent ex-spouse 20 hours ago:
I don’t recall answering any of those questions since I got my passport in the 2000s.
- Comment on Day 533 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 day ago:
Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.
I haven’t kept up with the news. What’s the issue?
- Comment on How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ? 3 days ago:
As much as I hate tokens, I hate cards even worse.
I hated tokens because it abstracts the cost. Some places - 1 token = 1 quarter. Fair. Others, 10 tokens for $4. What the hell? (Cards do this too)
I also just hate coins in general. Too many times I put a token into a machine for it to not register. Or I have to play the eject & pray method.
There’s a lot of arcades where I live. And I only go to the ones where it charges you real money using a credit card, or is unlimited play.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 3 days ago:
For clarity: The Democratic party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered right wing in much of the world. The conservative party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered far right wing in much of the world.
In the US: We have “actual” left wing politicians, who frequently are shouted down and forced to align themselves with Democrats to get any sort of movement.
The two party system works to keep those two teams going.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 5 days ago:
This is a difficult question because we don’t have an agreed upon baseline of what “living” looks like worldwide.
Some countries may say, “living a long life.” Other countries may say, “And a roof over your head.” And Other countries may say, “That and a yearly vacation.”
Also, it’s sad to say that million dollars isn’t even “dick around” money anymore. My wife’s retired grandparents retired on a million at age 70. They’re living okay, very modestly at age 90. Medicine is fucking expensive, hip surgeries, paying for physical therapy, etc. No brand new cars or fancy trips. Just coupon clipping and finding lunch deals.

Came here to say the same thing, but with Rei.
- Comment on GeForce Now’s 100-hour monthly limit goes live in 2026 5 days ago:
Damn this isn’t that bad. I thought I gamed heavily but I’m probably doing 10-15 hours of week at most because work, life, kids.
- Comment on GeForce Now’s 100-hour monthly limit goes live in 2026 5 days ago:
This is where I’m confused.
You have to be both a hardcore gamer AND wealthy enough to buy the brand new AAA game that needs expensive hardware, and yet be poor enough to not be able to afford a gaming rig that can handle it.
Like, imagine buying a wagyu beef but only owning a microwave? So you rent a kitchen?
- Comment on Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine? 6 days ago:
I have five of them near me and yeah.
I also just searched and found out that apparently there’s Bitcoin ATMs as well? Can’t say I’ve seen them.
- Comment on Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high? 6 days ago:
Well damn.
2.2 lbs (1kg) can cost roughly $1,500 - $6,000.
amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com/…/how-much-is-a-pound…
I recall seeing signs of an ounce being sold as low as $40, (making it $640 a lb) which is probably terrible quality.
If the question is: “I am trying to make everyone in my household hallucinate, whats the cheapest thing I can do?”, now we’re having fun.

Here you go my good sir, and keep up the fight.
- Comment on The ID_10_ts 1 week ago:
I mean DOGE hired dozens of high school and college students running amok with AI in critical systems. It was a pretty coordinated attempt at culling professionals.

This is a really important part of the CIA guide to sabotaging Fascism. www.cia.gov/static/…/SimpleSabotage.pdf
Don’t encourage good people to quit.
- Comment on There should be more negative awards. For example: the most pathetic nation or the most monstrous person of the year. 1 week ago:
When I was a kid, each wing of the school was for a different grade. And once a month, the school would punish the wing that was the filthiest by publicly announcing it on the speakers.
So kids would go out of their way to sabotage other wings. It really backfired when one wing was proud to be the filthiest, and would actively destroy their side of their school the day before the announcement. And when they were called out, you can hear the cheering.

I’m laughing at the idea!

Yeah, in don’t think many of us touched a Phone Bo. They’re impossible to find after we started making bo staffs out of better material like wood.
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 2 weeks ago:
All these promises can quickly spiral into the No Man Sky/Cyberpunk issue where on release, it’s a shell of what peoples expectations were.
You might say, “Well they fixed it.” But only after running their staff ragged to meet broken promises.
- Comment on iRobot has filed for bankruptcy and may be taken over by its primary supplier 2 weeks ago:
I have a knockoff Roomba that doesn’t have any Internet or digital connection. It’s really dumb.
I always hated the term robot vacuum. Since they’re going out of business, I say we take Roomba as the name. Make it like Kleenex or Xerox.
- Comment on ‘Our industry has been strip-mined’: video game workers protest at The Game Awards 2 weeks ago:
Not to be a Debby downer but I used to work in the game industry and they haven’t said anything new that we didn’t say back then.
There has always been some protest/call for change since I left the industry in 2015. It’s like the film industry, there’s always fresh suckers who will get taken advantage of and those who are burnt out will leave.
I’m politely rooting but I’ve moved on years ago.
- Comment on I've always thought THIS was unfair 2 weeks ago:
So it’s free to ejaculate on the walls? Hot damn!

And I can start a channel where I go to different hotels and um… Provide you with new content!

Out of that pile of 200 NES games, maybe like 10% we’re good.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto: Game creator sacked us for trying to unionise 2 weeks ago:
GTA6 cost over a billion dollars.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The show Succession really nailed this point. Everyone out of his circle wants him out. Everyone in his circle is casually playing it cool waiting for him to crash.
Unfortunately, not much will change. The hate machine will continue running.

That’s actually incredible! I remember getting a SNES, then a Dreamcast. Only years later did I get a PS2 which played PS1 games. I never owned a N64 and would play it at friends houses.
I don’t think anybody I knew owned every system

I remember giving my NES games away. I had like 200 of them.
The person receiving it went, “Bet you have a good memory out of every game.” And I just kinda answered, “Not really. Most of them sucked.”

I played every game on that image except rollaway?
