Yeah I’ve used it occasionally to goof around with and try to get silly answers. And I’ve occasionally used it when stuck on an idea to try to get something useful out of it…the latter wasn’t too successful.
Quite frankly I don’t at all understand how anyone could possibly be using this stuff daily. The average consumer doesn’t have a need imo.
D&D related things actually seems like a decent use case. For most other things I don’t understand how people find it useful enough to find use cases to do daily tasks with it.
I’m just going to take a moment to bitch even though no one asked.
Here in the US, can we stop just painting bike symbols on the shoulder of 55mph roads and call them “bike lanes”? No, what you’re doing is making a suicide lane. Bike paths need to have bollards protecting them so you don’t get casually manslaughtered by some idiot glancing down at their phone. As it stands, I refuse to use these criminally dangerous excuses for “bike paths”. I know the internet hates when I say this, but I absolutely choose to bike on the sidewalk instead and just go in the grass for a minute if I encounter the rare pedestrian on the same sidewalk. I’m not going to risk my life in such a dumb way. We need to improve these.
I don’t have a set boundary, I just have intense social anxiety so I have difficulty actually transitioning to the friends outside of work part. 99% of the time it doesn’t happen even though I’d like it to. But I definitely have had my “at work” friends until either they or I have moved away.
Idk I don’t get any positive effects from weed. It makes me too sleepy and too hungry and doesn’t seem to provide any other effect. I suppose it would be good if I needed a sleeping pill or had a hard time eating, but I don’t. I don’t understand how people are even able to stay awake after having any.
It’s all in the way you trim and neaten it imo. When people let their beards run wild, it tends to not look that great. But if you keep it trimmed neatly, even if it’s long, it can look pretty nice!
Yeah I’ve had people complain to me about being “born in the wrong era” before and I just don’t get it.
Me: What about the lack of modern medicine and death from easily preventable things? What about a crazy high risk of death in childbirth? You and I would be dead.
Me: What about being a second class citizen because you’re a woman?
Me: What about society hating literally any ethnic minority or LGBT person to the point where those friends you have now wouldn’t have been your friends back then? What about them being treated as second class citizens without any rights? What about these people literally being straight up murdered for just existing?
Me: What about periods of famine where people would literally starve to death?
Me: What about an even greater wealth divide than we have now?
Them: True, but it was still a lot better back then.
Why does Teams break my wireless headset (which I’m required to use for my job) half the time and half the time it’s fine? That’s one of my biggest gripes with it tbh. Our IT department couldn’t figure it out. I’ll open teams and suddenly my headset stops working and it fixes itself when I close Teams. The browser client version of the app doesn’t seem to do this though thankfully.
One of the buttons laps the stopwatch, the other resets the entire session clearing all lap markers and stopping the counter. Better not forget which is which, especially given that you’re probably timing something in the physical world not paying much attention to your phone…
Dude I struggle with this all the time! The symbols are way too similar to each other and I occasionally find myself turning off the alarm when I meant to snooze.
When I lived in an apartment complex where we had to park very far away, I did see a lot of tenants using small carts to carry all their groceries in at once! Seemed very smart to me!
Why aren’t more things made of glow in the dark material? What, just because I’m an adult I’m supposed to have grown out of liking glow in the dark things?? Lame!!
Yeah I have no idea why people are missing this part. They are ok with beef jerky being sold as an on the go snack, but not this? It’s the same thing.
Yes, I get it. The plastic is wasteful…but it’s wasteful for any other single serving snack item you’re buying anyway. I’m not sure of a good solution to the problem…but having an issue with this but not literally every other single serving snack food is just beyond confusing to me.
What are you using AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity AI) for in your daily routine?
Been using Perplexity AI quite a bit lately for random queries, like travel suggestions....

Why are Stop Lines (in the US, at least) often set too far back to see any crossing traffic?
I’ve seen them called “Stop Lines”, “Balk Line”, etc. The thick line painted on the road at a Stop Sign....
