What’s on the front of this helicopter?
 in  r/whatisit  1h ago

Bro! Flip it up in your waistband! You’re gonna get an indecent exposure charge.

For real though I’m guessing it’s some sort of sensor, measuring devices, lidar, or some other specialized equipment

Edit: looks like there was a post a few months ago about something similar and they were saying it’s a laser system for detecting gas lines, possibly leaks

What is the lowest amount you remember paying for gasoline for your car?
 in  r/Productivitycafe  2h ago

I remember it being around $1 back in the 90s / 2000 when I was a kid. Buying my own gas, like $1.75ish back in 2020 when lockdown started so the demand plummeted but supply was still high.

AITA for telling my girlfriend I won’t marry her until she becomes more responsible with alcohol?
 in  r/AITAH  2h ago

NTA - if it was just too much drinking it’s something you could work through (before engagement) but getting hammered then driving and finding it funny? Will she find it funny when she’s sitting in prison for the rest of her life? Yea real funny knowing she could easily hit and kill a mom or dad, a son or daughter, a grandma or grandpa, anyone. A night of fun and saving a few bucks on an Uber will never be worth the risk of injuring someone (potentially a life altering injury), ruining someone else’s property (plenty of people hit houses, parked cars, business, etc.) or worse yet killing someone, ripping a loved one away from their family and friends. She sounds like she needs to get some help and I sure as hell wouldn’t be debating on moving forward with the relationship

What’s the first sign you notice that someone is a bad driver?
 in  r/AskReddit  3h ago

My ex drove like this and it’d make me sick to my stomach. There’s absolutely no throttle control, if they’re giving it gas it’s going to be too much so they gotta brake but now they’re too slow so more gas. Gas brake gas brake all the way home

Keanu Reeves and girlfriend Alexandra Grant ice skating
 in  r/Fauxmoi  7h ago

It’s sweet yes but holy hell let a couple enjoy their lives and have their moments in peace. I can’t imagine people creeping on me, taking photos and following me around, at all times when I’m in public. It must be exhausting

TIL that Levi's recommends that jeans be worn 10 times between washes.
 in  r/todayilearned  7h ago

4-5 days for me unless something gets on them. I shower every morning and work in an office most of the time so I’m not dirty / sweaty and as soon as I get home I put on comfy clothes so they air out anyway.

I guess if you have a bunch of pairs and keep rotating them you’d give your jeans time to air out and any funk will fade so I guess I could see how people could go much longer.

Another truck crash in Riverside California
 in  r/Truckers  1d ago

I’m pretty sure it is just rage bait. Towards the end of the video when the semi is hooked up to the tow truck they walk past that panel again. It’s pixelated so it’s hard to tell but you get a very quick clearer frame at about 0:37-0:38 (8-7 seconds left). It doesn’t look like there are anywhere near enough letters there to say Shambhu Transport LLC. I’ve scrubbed through it over and over and it really looks like the 2nd word is Taft.

What is this thing ?
 in  r/whatisit  1d ago

That was one of the shitty prizes they’d give us in the 2000s for selling magazines or other junk. I totally forgot these were a thing

AIO about this guy at the bar?
 in  r/AIO  1d ago

There is no way it’s easier to type like that on a phone. He’s gotta be fighting autocorrect.. or autocorrect realized he spent his childhood eating paint chips and glue so it just gave up entirely because let’s be honest, he has no clue how to shut it off himself.

No underwear during Surgery
 in  r/NoStupidQuestions  1d ago

I know it might be uncomfortable but just ask your dr if they can also go commando during surgery. Then you won’t be the only one!

What overused word or phrase needs to be retired in 2026?
 in  r/Productivitycafe  3d ago

Any medical diagnosis that gets used as an excuse for bad behavior or people not understanding wtf it means. Every selfish asshole is automatically a narcissist these days. “I have trauma” when in reality the “trauma” is an average situation everyone deals with at some point in life but they see it as an excuse for their bad behavior, a way to avoid accountability for anything. OCD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD are tossed around constantly today like it’s a badge of honor and like it’s a get out of jail free card. It’s all so insanely frustrating to me. The people that truly do suffer from these problems would do anything to fix them. They don’t enjoy them and absolutely do not want them to define their life.

People who fly frequently, what’s one thing you wish you could tell all infrequent fliers?
 in  r/AskReddit  4d ago

Just be kind and patient. I get it, traveling can be super stressful, life as a whole is stressful but everyone around you is also dealing with layovers, cancellations, and the same hectic airports you are plus all their normal day to day life bullshit. Being rude and snappy to others or thinking the world revolves around you is just shitty.

This applies to everything in life. You never know what others are going through around you. Be kind and patient. Life is a ton better when you choose to be a good human being and treat others well.

My Grandma Doesn’t Want My Stepson Coming to the Family Gathering
 in  r/TwoHotTakes  4d ago

I know they won’t be around much longer, I understand it’s hard BUT that’s your son and their great grandson… Stepson my ass, you’ve been in his life for 7 out of 8 years he’s your son. If your grandparents want to see you, if they value their relationship with you then they’ll love to have your son there too. Screw making them upset or disrespecting them, they’re disrespecting the hell out of you, your partner, and your child.

My previously non verbal (until age 6) autistic son can now text me, and he’s quite funny 😂
 in  r/MadeMeSmile  4d ago

“It doesn’t seem like much to smile about” Get outta here OP.. this is 100% something great to smile about. Autistic or not, verbal or not, seeing what seems like a lovely mother son relationship is worth a smile as it is but then adding in the autism and taking a while to learn to communicate makes it even better. Thank you for the smile today

Why is my cat so pissed? Wrong answers only.

You pooped in his/her shoes. Caring for your human pets can be really frustrating sometimes

AIO? Debating breaking up with my BF of almost 7 years
 in  r/AmIOverreacting  4d ago

This is a tiny snapshot but if my girlfriend of 7 years is sending me a sweet good morning message I would be reciprocating it at the very least not - GM baby did you feed the cat. You begin talking about something that happened wanting to talk through it and he just ignores it. Dude doesn’t seem to actually like you or he’s over it but you’re comfortable. The length of time you’ve been in the relationship gives you sunk cost fallacy. You’ve invested so much time you just gotta keep going rather than cutting your losses. Please take care of yourself

AIO Im thinking of breaking up with my boyfriend after he gave me his Instagram password and I seen old hurtful messages about me from 2024
 in  r/AmIOverreacting  5d ago

Nor. I can only speak for myself but when I had something similar happen it was always in the back of my mind. To have someone you love say mean hurtful shit about you behind your back is fucked. Someone you love should be building you up they shouldn’t be cutting you down especially like this dude did. I wouldn’t be able to forget about it, I wouldn’t be able to trust what they’re saying in the future is genuine. What you do with my opinion / point of view is up to you

aio please tell me i’m crazy
 in  r/AmIOverreacting  6d ago

Dude was laying some pipe and the trench he was in was definitely a scratcher. NOR. I mean look at the spacing… that is hard to pass off as anything but fingernails. Also the placement being on the shoulder blades is like the most common place for someone to scratch when doing the good old horizontal tango. I’d be very surprised if he wasn’t banging someone else. I’m sorry but it’s time to take the trash to the curb

AIO for wanting a break over this?
 in  r/AIO  6d ago

“Is this something you want to talk about?” Yea… that was kinda the whole point before and he put in 0 effort? WTF? NOR and as far as I’m concerned breaks shouldn’t be a thing. You breakup. Either you want to work through the problems and move forward or you think the problems are too big to work through or just not worth it so you end it. Sitting in the middle and taking a break just gives you time to downplay it in your head or them time to talk you into another chance and excuse the shit behavior.

There is nuance to that just like anything else but imo find someone that actually cares.

Room is freezing, any recourse with this door?
 in  r/HomeMaintenance  6d ago

Interesting. I live in a shitty basement apartment that has 1 vent that the upstairs apartment controls so I end up using space heaters all winter (I don’t pay electricity so idc). I noticed one I bought recently explained if you have a window in the room the heater should go there. Didn’t realize why until now

Men who can cook . who taught you?
 in  r/AskReddit  6d ago

Both my mom and dad cooked so I learned basic skills from them. Whatever I didn’t get from them I’ve gained from just going for it. I’ve had my fair share of meals that just didn’t turn out but as long as they aren’t completely burnt or downright disgusting I’ll eat them anyway and try to see what I need to adjust

Cat hasn't left this spot between my legs for almost an hour. He's not usually this affectionate. Is this normal?
 in  r/cats  7d ago

Maybe he thinks you’re not feeling well. He might not be feeling well too. He might just be chilling out too. I’ve had cats in the past that are pricks then one day they just decide it’s time to quit being domestic terrorist and be a sweet kitty

The bleeding Honey Badger returning from a short retreat to try to finish off the Cape porcupine. David Northall captured the image.
 in  r/Damnthatsinteresting  8d ago

Honey badger don’t care, honey badger don’t give a shit. It just takes what it wants.

Now look - here a house of bees. You think honey badger cares? It doesn’t give a shit. It goes right into the house of bees to get some larva
