When people want to enter a bus, especially a crowded one, it makes a lot more sense to wait for the people who want to get out of the bus to leave first.
This one is so baffling to me, it’s really changed my view of how stupid some people really are. What do they even expect, that the other passengers magically disappear? It’s really not an abstract problem if the other passengers are trying to leave right in front of you. Trying to enter a bus is also not a rare situation, so you’d expect people to understand this at least after the first few times. Unbelievable.
This one so much. How can people not realize if everyone stood back in a larger halo around the carousel, it would be so easy for everyone to get their bag when it’s up. I usually stand back at a distance, and if people have it completely blocked standing right next to it I grab right around them getting uncomfortably in their personal space.
I’m in the top 3% of listeners for Sabaton, but my most played song was 59 times Another Love by Tom Odell. And I’m an alchemist because I create more playlists than other users. Overall I listened to 44 genres.
Diamond sharpening stones. Still waiting on mine but they were cheap and I got the grits I wanted. Somehow I keep ending up putting new edges on knives, chisels, and other blades. I hear diamond stones remove material faster.
Heavy groceries do not go on top of eggs, fruit, etc. Cold groceries together. Dry groceries together. If there’s a bunch of bags inside of a bag, use those before the bag that’s holding the other bags.
Wtf, Publix baggers? I get you don’t get paid 6-digit salaries, but this is not heart surgery.
I got some nice keycaps when I was building my first mechanical keyboard. Aside from that… Soldering gear, 3D printer parts… Cat toys, preflashed smart bulbs (so I can use them completely locally with home assistant), magnets… And generally any time I see something on Amazon that clearly is just rebranded Chinese stuff, and I don’t need it quickly, I can find it on there for a fraction of the price.
Gambling. Everyone knows the house always wins and the exact probability of winning any specific lottery but people can’t grasp this. I don’t know how people look at these massive luxurious casinos and think they win against this company with an unfathomably profitable business model by taking money from people who think they can win.
I think the logic there is not that they constantly win against the casino, but more that they only need to get lucky once or twice. They just see that some people, sometimes win and there is no reason that they would not be the winners. Not sure I’m being clear about it but I hope you get my point.
I play the lottery a few times a year for the following reasons:
-Permission to dream about what I would buy if I won for a few days
-Justification for bitching about not winning the lottery
Instead of buying a ticket I just search the sidewalk for the winning ticket (that someone else lost) while I'm otherwise doing my normal activities. My odds are winning are nearly the same as someone who buys a ticket, so I can dream just as much - but I can spend the money on something else.
First, someone has to have bought the winning ticket. Then, that same person needs to have lost the winning ticket. Next, that person has to have lost that ticket near where you are. And finally, you have to find that lost ticket.
So while both situations are very very far from certainty, and both are approaching zero, one of the two is much, much closer to zero than the other.
This is a paradoxical question with no possible answer. If we’re to dumb to grasp it, how could we possibly know that it is in fact simple? Quantum mechanics may well be “the simplest thing” for an alien race, yet none of us would think our inability to fully comprehend it is a sign of stupidity.
Right now Ubuntu… but I ran Arch(btw) for 10 years before that, and various before that, for 10 years. I just happen to enjoy classic rock… but I listen to a lot of different things. Mostly different forms of metal, but quite a lot of electronica and classical music as well My top genre was stoner metal, I listened to 3298 different artists, and 140 different genres. Like 61k minutes or something :D
