Riddles That People Just Love to Tell

If someone asked you about your favorite riddle, would you have an answer? Do you have one that just gets the reaction you want every single time, one you just can’t wait to pull out at parties?

If so, you would feel at home with these 12 people, who jumped at the chance to share their favorite stumper on Reddit – and now we all know 12 more great riddles, too.

12. Is this from a movie? I feel like it is.

Tear me off and scratch my head. What once was red is black instead.

Answer: A match

11. Not what you think.

Two old fishermen are sitting by the fire talking. One says “The ones we caught we threw away. The ones we didn’t catch we kept!”, and his friend agrees.

What are they talking about?

Answer: Their fleas

10. I love it.

This one is very heavy on lateral thinking – after giving the opening to the riddle (below), tell the other person they may ask as many questions they want to figure the answer out providing you can answer it with “Yes”, “No”, or “That’s irrelevant”.

A man walks into a restaurant and sits down at a table. He orders a seagull sandwich from the menu. The sandwich arrives, the man takes a bite of it, then leaves the restaurant, goes home, and commits suicide. Why?

Your friend is then expected to get the following convoluted solution from their questioning, which from experience people either love the game to figure it out, or loathe how out there the correct answer is.

Answer: The man is a widower whose wife died on a holiday in the past. They were on a cruise when the ship capsized. The man and his wife made it onto a lifeboat with a few other survivors and washed up on a deserted island.

The man’s wife and another survivor went to search for food and eventually the stranger returns with a large amount of “seagull meat”, but unfortunately informs the man that his wife was killed (fell to her death, gored by a bore, or anything else) during the expedition. They eat the “seagull”, and after being rescued the man returns home alone.

In the restaurant the man orders a dish containing seagull meat, and upon taking a bite he notices that the taste is not the same as the “seagull” he ate on the island. The revelation makes him realise what actually happened that day, an unable to live with the guilt of eating his wife, he kills himself.

9. Too many gods.

Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter

Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

A single god may be asked more than one question, questions are permitted to depend on the answers to earlier questions, and the nature of Random’s response should be thought of as depending on the flip of a fair coin hidden in his brain: if the coin comes down heads, he speaks truly; if tails, falsely.

Answer: You tell us!

8. Ask all of the questions.

A man is driving on the highway. At one point, he stops, gets out of his car and shots himself. Why?

Answer: He’s a radio anchorman. He killed his wife for insurance fraud or whatever reason and wanted to cover it up by pre-recording his show which normally airs live to have an alibi for the time period when his wife was killed.

After the deed, he was driving home and heard his own voice on the radio… but the tape got stuck and now everyone knows his “live” show was pre-recorded.

He kills himself upon realizing his alibi won’t work

7. What to do first?

A mountain climber, barely alive in the middle of a freezing blizzard, stumbles upon a wooden cabin. Pulling himself inside and well aware that he’s got severe hypothermia on his face, hands and feet, he surveys the interior.

There’s a small wood-burning stove and even an old propane barbecue, although our hiker can’t remember if burning propane indoors is safe. On a small bedside table is an aromatherapy candle, although the climber isn’t sure how much heat it’ll give off, and an antique oil lantern less than a quarter full.

Going through his supplies, the hiker discovers he only has one wooden match left. And with less than ten minutes before he succumbs to the frostbite, his survival depends on making the right choice.

What does the hiker light first?

Answer: The match

6. Simple but great.

What can travel the world while staying in a corner?

Answer: A stamp

5. Everybody together now!

4 people are trying to cross a bridge. One can cross in 1 minute, one can cross in 2 minutes, one can cross in 5 minutes, and one can cross in 10 minutes. The bridge can only support 2 people at a time.

They only have one flashlight and whenever a person/group is crossing, they must carry the flashlight. What’s the quickest amount of time to get everyone across?

Answer: 17 minutes.

The 1 min and 2 min go together (2 min), the 1 min comes back (1 min) and sends the 5 min and 10 min together (10 min), the 2 min comes back with the light (2 min) and brings the 1 min with him (2 min).

4. I had to think about this.

What can be filled with empty hands.

Answer: Gloves

3. You can only tell it verbally.

One knight, a king and a queen put their baby to bed. Then the king and queen leave the room. In the morning the baby was dead, how did it die?

Answer: The knight killed it.

If you’re speaking, most people will assume you said “night.”

2. That’s a ton of information.

Looking for something? Open me. I’m sure that your something inside of me lies. Of course, you could always find hope in me. Though, despair must come first, and later surprise. What’s sought, though, depends on the seeker.

Some look for bobbin, others for beaker. Others for nature. Still others for nurture. The quarry will vary from searcher to searcher. And, yet, I suspect this will strike you as strange: My contents are set and will not ever change.

If you still cannot guess what I mean, here’s a clue: The answer, what I mean, lies inside of me, too. What am I?

Answer: An unabridged dictionary

1. A classic!

How far can a dog run into the woods?

Answer: Halfway. After that he’s running out of the woods.

Definitely going to make some of these my own – my set could always use some fresh blood.

Chefs Offer Cooking Tips They Think All of us Should Know

Have you been spending a ton of time cooking (or learning how to cook) during the pandemic and the quarantine?

You’re definitely not alone on that one!

And we have a treat for you today!

Chefs on AskReddit offered up cooking tips that will help all of us out. Let’s take a look.

1. Watch the temp.

“Watch your cooking temperature! You don’t need everything blazing hot. In fact, with high heat you’ll usually end up burning/drying out your meal. Medium heat is your friend. It gives you more time to get it right.

A simple example is a good grilled cheese sandwich. If you make it in a skillet on medium heat, it might take a while. BUT you’ll have enough time to make sure the toast is perfectly crispy without getting burned.”

2. Take it all in…

“Learn how to hold a knife and cut correctly.

Use acid – it’s your friend! Lemon juice, vinegar, microplaned zest, whatever. It brightens up everything.

Season every step of the way and taste as you go. Don’t overdue it, obviously, but you want to season every layer and taste.

Keep in mind that acid will then also amplify things like salt – keep everything in balance.

Someone else said it, but it’s true – it’s easier to add than to take away.

And if you’re making something like soup or stock or sauce – if it’s something that will reduce down season lightly as you make it, and then when it’s finished season at the end to get it where you want it.

If you haven’t noticed, a lot of mine are about seasoning. The vast majority of home cooks (and even some restaurant dishes) are under seasoned. Sometimes all you need are salt and pepper, but most people don’t use enough – salt especially. It shouldn’t taste SALTY, but just shy of it.”

3. I love risotto.

“When you make risotto, add the rice to the pan and cook it on very low heat until the edges turn slightly translucent before adding any liquid.

Your risotto will be much more tender and evenly cooked”

4. Roast ’em up.

“You can roast almost all veggies and they turn out delicious. It’s also really easy.

Take the veggie, cut it into bite sized pieces give or take (can be larger if you want, just adjust cooking time and test for tenderness). Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil until everything is lightly coated. Spread out on a baking sheet (can put a layer of parchment paper on it to make clean up easier) and season with a thin layer of kosher salt and pepper on all pieces.

Place in an oven at 350F or above and once well browned, remove and eat. You can roast at 450F if you want but just know that it will take less time at this temp and more time at lower temps. Do it a lot and you’ll gain experience and figure out what temps you like. For me, it often depends on what else is in the oven and I just go with it and check it periodically.

If you want to kick it up a little, sprinkle some diced garlic and some red pepper flakes (go light if you’re sensitive to spice) over the veggies as well. Cook the same. They are delicious.

Works with almost everything – broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, carrots, all squashes, etc.”

5. Listen up!

“Too much salt in a soup? Add potatoes. Potatoes soak up salt like mad, I swear.

Whole roasted chicken will make two meals, plus create stock. First will be roasted chicken. Second will be chicken soup. Finally, boil bones to make stock.

Don’t be afraid of acid, like vinegars, citrus, pickled items. Fermented things as well. Add more jarred olives to your recipes, they will expand flavors.

Red wine is required for the best beef dishes.”

6. That’s all you need.

“Kosher salt, cracked black pepper, olive oil, garlic, lemon, butter.

That’s all you need to season anything. Any protein, any roasted veggie, any salad- keep it simple.

Also, a working meat thermometer will never let you down. Take the guesswork out.”

7. Now I’m hungry.

“Flour and fat makes a roux. Roux makes sauces thick.

You want a white country gravy? Put equal amounts oil and flour in a pan. Cook over medium heat while stirring until flour turns a little brown. Pour milk and whisk together. Crack black pepper. Reduce. Done.

You want thick sauce with some chicken or meat? Sear the meat and set aside. Sauté your vegetables in oil or butter. Sprinkle flour on it until it soaks up the oil. Stir it until it browns the flour a little. Pour in broth or milk for a sauce. Put meat back in to finish in the sauce.

Creamed spinach? Add oil to pan. Sprinkle with a little flour and a dash of nutmeg and pepper. Cook couple minutes just to get rawness of flour gone. Add milk and reduce to desired consistency. In separate pan sauté finely minced onion in butter and EVOO. Add garlic until fragrant. Wilt spinach. Mix together when they are both to your liking.

You want gumbo? Add flour and oil to big pot. Stir constantly until it gets dark (about milk chocolate color). Collect the roux. Sauté vegetables. Add roux and broth. Add chicken and sausage.

Seafood gumbo? You cook the roux until peanut butter color instead of super dark. Sauté veg. Add roux and broth. Add crawfish, shrimp, and blue crab.”

8. Good info for you.

“- Prepare ingredients before cooking them. This means get spices, seasonings and condiments ready to hand before you cook anything, and chop up everything you need.

Some recipes can be more forgiving and you can chop stuff while something’s cooking, but other dishes have a quick cooking time, and it can get chaotic if you’re trying to find a certain spice while your food is getting burnt.

– Clean as you go. One thing I hate about cooking is cleaning up after, but I try to clean every item that I use as soon as I’m done with it, so that there isn’t a mountain of cleaning up afterwards. I’ve lived with people who do not do this, and they put off the washing up because there is so much to do.

– Learn from mistakes. I have a few staple recipes that I can do pretty well, but I have f*cked up cooking on many occasions (even the stuff I usually get right), and have made stuff that I would throw away if I didn’t care about food waste and wasn’t hungry.

That being said, I try to figure out where I went wrong while I’m eating, and either look for a different recipe, or retrace my steps on the method to see what I could do better.”

9. Makes sense.

“If it grows together it goes together.

Want a tropical-tasting dish? Find a fish that lives in tropical climates and add tropical fruits. Want something Italian? Roma tomatoes, oregano, Italian parsley, they all come from the same region.

Of course, you can add things from other climates, but it’s a simple rule to follow.”

10. From a veteran.

“Things I would add to the list of tips given my time running restaurants:

Build a pantry of ingredients you can use…this includes dried spices/herbs, different vinegars, maybe a fancy(finishing) salt and regular salt. You won’t use them all every meal, but it’s good to have a bunch of stuff to work with. Think of a good mechanic. They have toolboxes full of various tools for any problem they may come across. This is the same for cooking.

Grab some small bowls…these will be your mise en place bowls. Prep your stuff out, place them in bowls and then use them as you need. There’s a reason you see cooking shows have all of their ingredients in bowls. It’s easier to NOT scramble around trying to chop up some veggies while trying to not burn the onions you put in the pan. Make sense?

Taste. Taste. Taste. Taste. Always taste the food. Somebody mentioned how different garlic tastes depends on when you add it to the process. That is absolutely true about EVERYTHING. Always taste as you add stuff and cook longer.

Don’t buy substitutes. They’re generally all trash. Get the regular butter. Get the regular mayo. Avoid “olive oil added!” For “health reasons”. They’re generally full of more crap and additives than the regular version. “Low fat” or “reduced calories” are the in the same boat. This is a broad stroke comment – for those with medical issues this may not apply. Everybody is different.

Keep trying stuff out. Try the same dish multiple times. Don’t get too hard on yourself. I’ve been doing this for 12 years and STILL cook some crappy meals or come up with dish ideas that just kind of suck. It’s going to happen. It’s not a 100% success rate with good food. You’re going to f*ck up dinner a few times. We’ve all done it. We’re going to do it again. It’s a craft. It takes time.

Hope these tips help! Keep cooking. Don’t stop. Make some funky meals. -From a chef de cuisine from Chicago.”

11. Practical advice.

“Keep a waste container.

As you chop stuff, put waste in the container. When you’re done, toss the waste in the garbage (or save vegetable scraps for stock).

No running to the garbage every second and no mixing of waste and your food.”

Do you have any great cooking advice you’d like to share with us?

If so, please talk to us in the comments.

Thanks in advance!

People Share the Talents They’re Super Proud of But Could Never Put on Their Resume

We all have a secret talent.

The little things we’re good at, that make us feel good about ourselves or are fun to trot out at parties, but you know.

They’re not exactly going to land us that dream job or our next big promotion, you know?

These 17 people do, and they’re sharing those obscure but amazing talents with all of us.

17. No small feat.

I had a baby at 17, left home to give her a better future then my moms drunken, high life.

She turned 18 a few months ago, is going to university and graduated high school with honors.

She doesn’t smoke, or drink, or do drugs!! I did that changed my families legacy

16. This is actually a huge accomplishment.

Surviving five years of prison without a single incident report.

15. I do not want to see proof.

I can blow bubbles off the tip of my tongue using my own saliva.

14. That deserves a fist-bump.

I kicked a serious methamphetamine habit with willpower alone.

13. I mean wow.

Stopped a major international incident when I was in Iraq with the Army as a private.

Our unit was charged with security of a couple of towns, and went weekly to meet with the Mayor and the Iraqi Army. Usually it was attended by our Captain, with about 2 platoons worth of guys (about 20 people total). The Captain was out of country for his leave, but we’d had no problems with the meetings, so he sent a brand new Lieutenant to get some experience in dealing with the Iraqis.

At the meeting, the Mayor begins complaining because the citizens had protested him over the weekend for being corrupt (he was), and taking money that was meant for them (he was). He said he told the Iraqi Army Captain to shoot the protestors, but the Captain refused. Our Lieutenant, who almost certainly couldn’t understand our interpreter because of his very thick accent, just nodded his head and said he agreed with the Mayor. This was of course a huge insult to the Iraqi Army Captain, who turned incredibly red and began making furtive orders to his men, some of who began casually getting up and shifting their positions in the room. The Lieutenant was oblivious to everything, and had no clue what was going on.

I knew what was about to go down, so I got on the radio and ordered all of our SAW gunners (soldiers with machine guns) to get off the trucks and take up positions through the building immediately. I also ordered our guys who had been standing outside the meeting room to come in, and ordered the gunners in the trucks to be up and ready. The Iraqi Army Captain heard me on the radio, saw the guys come in, and stared at me. I just shook my head no, and he seemed to realize it wasn’t going to go down the way he wanted.

After the meeting wrapped, I snatched the interpreter, got 2 SAW gunners and a grenadier, and followed the Iraqi Army Captain to his office. I’d met with him several times before, so he knew me a little bit. I told him essentially that our Lieutenant was new, had no clue what he was doing, and that we were very grateful that he didn’t shoot citizens because they were protesting. He calmed down immediately and said he was sorry and just got mad that he had been insulted in front of the Mayor. I told him it was water under the bridge, but to never ever try that again. He said he wouldn’t, and that he was embarrassed he’d taken the actions he did. We drank some tea, shot the shit for a couple of minutes, and left. Every meeting after that went smoothly.

So yeah, we could have gotten into a shootout inside an Iraqi Army base, which would have killed one of their officers and a bunch of their men, plus the Mayor, as well as a whole bunch of our guys.

12. But it might save your life.

My experience as a black belt in Shito-Ryu. It’s a traditional Japanese style martial art.

In 2005, I was ranked 11th in the world in my age division, a three time National champion, a Junior Olympic champion, and invited to join the US International team (equivalent to the US Olympic team in other sports).

I’m an Electrical Engineer, so it doesn’t really apply to my resume and it was also fifteen years ago, but it’s my proudest accomplishment.

11. Depends on your family, I suppose.

Never been arrested.

I come from a family of cons, so it’s not a small thing. And for the most part, I have little interest in drugs. Tried shrooms a few times for my migraines and I love an occasional beer, but the addiction gene may have skipped me.

10. Way to advocate for yourself, dear.

At the age of 15, two years ago, I was denied approval on a Single Case Agreement for mental health treatment coverage by my insurance, and wrote a letter of appeal entirely by myself, which I then mailed with my parents help.

Shortly after, they overturned their decision and approved 100% coverage for my treatment, and told me that my letter was the primary reason they changed their minds.

9. Money makes the world go ’round.

Writing prize-winning tentacle porn, two years running. “Proud” might not be the best descriptor, but I stand by it, all the same. Man, time flies…

8. The world could use more of that.

I pick up a lot of trash and i’m pretty good at convincing others to help me.

7. Bless a good heart.

Bone marrow donation

6. I think that’s resume worthy.

Not trash, but my grandfather had a cabin on Lake Michigan.

Every time my father and his family went up, they started the evening picking sticks up off the beach, so frequently that my father would get excited to do it.

How did my grandfather convince his son this was meaningful work? But calling the job-title “collecting debris.”

Added a whole new twist on picking up sticks.

5. Life is worth it.

I was hospitalized for suicidal ideation 4 years ago and had to basically start my life over due to choices before then.

I just got pre approved for a mortgage today.

4. The internet is proud of you.

I overcame a 5 year long drug addiction no one knew I had.

3. No way to tweak that.

Had an accountant’s resume which highlighted his experience as a professional clown.

Tried to help him by changing the title but nope.

2. That’s impressive, though!

6km swim without a break.

1. Yeah you can’t brag about that in an interview.

I once made a three stage glass bong with percolators and a cooling chamber out of glass. I used 99 peaches bottles that I cut by scoring with a glass drill bit and dunked in boiling water then ice cold water to get a clean break and sever the bottom to stack them.

The stem was a glass tube/funnel combination courtesy of the chem lab. I Epoxy’d it together and it truly was an engineering marvel.

I can put both feet behind my head, and I can almost always predict what marriages are going to last.

What’s your talent that you just couldn’t share with potential employers? Tell us in the comments!

Man Asks if It’s Immature to Entertain Childhood Fantasies as an Adult

Most of us know that we have to grow up at some point – it’s just part of the package deal of being human.

You get to be a kid for a little while, with other people taking care of you and buying you things and making your dinner every night while you do whatever, and then, you have to do all of that stuff for yourself (and kids of your own, if you so choose).

That said, you don’t necessarily have to leave all the vestiges of youth behind. There are ways to bring your childhood on through, to still get enjoyment out of the whimsy and daydreams – if you do it wisely.

Am I immature to still think about my childhood fantasies ? from NoStupidQuestions

This guy wonders whether or not his continuing to indulge his childhood fantasies means he’s somehow stunted, and these 16 people weigh in.

15. Creativity should be valued.

I think some of the issue is that creativity is made to feel wrong and cheap, think about it. When you go to school if you’re not good at Maths you’re not allowed in the Maths Team but the geeky kids are allowed to be in the school play because “everyone should have a go” people who are rubbish at art are lauded but those who are good are regarded as “nothing special” because again “everyone can draw” we also get this message from X factor and The voice, well anyone can get up and sing, you don’t have to work for it.

Creative jobs don’t pay very well and if you say you’re an artist or a writer or musician unless your work is well known people don’t take you seriously but creative people create, it’s just what we do! It’s as natural as maths to an accountant or the periodic table to a scientist.

So when our minds wander and we start being creative which is natural to us, it looks like daydreaming to others and it’s discouraged and when we share those thoughts we are laughed at and made to feel stupid so we do it alone and in private where others can’t see but there’s nothing wrong with it, we need that outlet, it’s healthy. Keep creating friend. ?

14. We need to reshape who is allowed to be “creative.”

Your post is nice and supportive of many but I’d like to dispute this notion that creativity belongs to the arts.

Many scientific, engineering and mathematical solutions are creative in their nature too. Many people working in these fields are just as much a “creative” as any musician or artist.

13. Creativity is a healthy outlet.

It’s not childish. It’s creative.

Have you tried writing stories or playing Dungeons & Dragons?

12. Daydreaming allowed.

I still have stories and characters floating around in my head that were there since high school ( im almost 40 now ), and sometimes it’s fun to just go for a walk and make movies in my head. Walking, thinking, sometimes humming soundtracks are all things I’ve done since I was young.

It should be no surprise that as an adult, I do creative work for a living and I’m pretty good at it. I went from imagining the things to making the things.

As I’ve gotten older though, I’ve found these kinds of daydreams can be unproductive, and can sometimes contribute to perfectionism or overthinking ideas. I can sometimes overly fixate on an idea because it feels good to think about, even though there are plenty of other valid solutions and paths to take which can often times be better than the thing I’m holding on to.

The only big change now as an older adult is that I put rules about what I can daydream about. I tend to not daydream or fantasize about projects I’m actually doing, especially the outcomes. I also avoid anything that has to do with me personally as that can negatively impact my mental health.

It really helped my creative work to free myself of the need to document or use my daydreaming productively. Now it’s something I just do for me, for fun. It’s like exercising for your mind to render all this stuff in your head. I’ll probably always be this way until the end of my days.

11. New things to try.

I was writing story only when I was a kid, but I have never done in my adulthood, and unfortunately I’ve never played D&D.

10. That’s how you know it’s a good story.

It’s always when I’m going to sleep as well!

Sometimes it backfires though and I stay awake longer because exciting things happen…

9. Sounds like a good use of time to me.

I used to pretend I was a captain of a merchant ship when I was younger, and I’d write a captain’s log by candlelight in my bedroom.

I had an entire world map that I imagined and drew, myself, on the front page of my journal. Full with cities with imagined names, and different ports.

I even had an old PC game where you had to sail to different ports and trade, and you could out the game disc in a CD player to play the soundtrack from the game.

8. Just one more reason to love going to sleep.

Me too!

I actually look forward to going to sleep because I love creating worlds and stories in my head before sleep and I can’t do it during the day.

7. Fantasy worlds aren’t childish.

Every good story has to start with some fantasizing!

Being an adult doesn’t mean you can’t continue, it just means you have more freedom to pursue it. Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, Witcher, and lots more huge fantasy worlds were thought up of and worked on by adults like yourself.

You should keep writing! ?

6. I want to know more, too!

I find it fascinating. Would love to know how these worlds changed/evolved over the years (as your maturity level and understanding of things changed). It’s too bad we don’t have a “third eye” that is actually a projector to project our ideas/memories.

And I don’t think that means you’re immature at all. I’ve actually read numerous studies that show that this ability to imagine/create/fantasize usually diminishes by the age of 16. Researchers found their only conclusion was our society causes us to stop imagining from fear of still acting like a child, as is your worry.

But…if we kept this ability past the age of 16 we would see Alzheimer’s and dementia rates reduce drastically. I wish I kept a link to the story, but I don’t think it’s childish at all. You’re keeping your mind fresh.

5. Make sure you write it down.

Sit down and just write something. Don’t worry about it being perfect. The important part is that you write. It can be hard to start, but if you just put your fingers on the keys and move them around a bit, just writing any old thing, you’ll get going.

Don’t edit on the fly. Just shit out whatever you’ve got, and when you’re done, then edit.

Write whatever stories come to you easiest first. Don’t worry about big narratives or anything. You don’t even have to start at the beginning; you can just start anywhere and plug that chunk in somewhere else at a later time.

Volume is what’s important at first. That’s the chunk of wood you’re gonna practice on and whittle down into something usable.

Another thing you could do is to get into oral-tradition storytelling, and whenever any kids are around, you tell em one of your stories. They like that.

Or just enjoy thinking about em at night. No harm in that.

4. I’m fascinated by these people’s brains!

I’ve had bedtime fantasies ever since I was small. I don’t make up my own worlds though, I insert my self into what ever fantasy world I happen to be into at the moment by shaping the story round me. Over time I’ve become better at this; before I use to just drop in my avatar in the interesting bits with no background and the other characters would just roll with it. But now my stories have gotten more sophisticated and I find a way to organically introduce my avatar into the story and take part in all the fun. I live in a very rural area and don’t have any day to day friends so my imagination is very active. I want to be friends with these characters in these story’s and this how I do it.

So I design a avatar, with a nice complicated back story. This person evolves over time to fit the each new story. She is usually around sixteen, long hair some times natural colors, sometimes not, shares my general personality. She is always some kind of fighter (wish I was), maybe trained to be an assassin. Parents are always out of the picture, either dead or have no factor in the story at all. I want to separate it from my real life as much as possible, so no parents, (also because parents are a limitation) no younger sister, and a different name and at least a slightly different look.

I am crazy about fantasy so she she is usually a magical being of some kind, winged elves are a favorite. It gets very complicated and I have to make up histories and explanations to fit is it in and smooth it over and it’s time consuming. But I think it is good practice for if I ever want to write a story (probably not). It’s so much fun and I can just sit in a chair day dreaming until mum tells at me to stop saying vacant at the floor. I hope I never stop.

3. Childish and immature aren’t necessarily the same thing.

Oh it is absolutely childish… but that’s a thing to be proud of!

It’s not immature.

Man, “childish” has a very bad meaning among people just because children are often “not good enough”. Sadly, this is the only word that some people will find meaningful, since “immature” sounds too grown up to be a serious offense.

2. That’s a take.

People who do this are real players. People who just fall asleep without thinking about anything or claim to have no internal monologue are NPC’s and are just there to flesh out the simulation.

Think of them as advanced AI.

1. Just a mind exercise.

Oh gods it’s so lovely to know I’m not alone!

That’s how I get to sleep. I don’t know how people just close their eyes and drift off into slumber.

You might not be able to go back to being a kid, but you can keep dreaming. It’s preferable even.

At least, that’s what I think – weigh in with your own comments down below!

People Who Have Totally Amazing Skills That They Could Never Put on a Resume

There are skills that we work so hard on because we think they will advance our careers, and then there are the things we do because we love them, or they just come to us naturally.

The things that sure, maybe aren’t that objectively impressive, but to us, are really something to be proud of – and these 11 people are dying to share theirs with the world.

11. That’s seriously impressive!

I was the English-language maintainer of the world’s largest open-source public general library software which one could use to share any ebook file for scholarly purposes.

It is a software used by literally millions each year, and though I have not been involved for ten years, it’s probably the single largest impact I’ve ever had on society, and only about 22 people know it was once hosted out of my dorm room.

10. You might not want to let on.

I helped unionize my workforce and bargain the contract, with a 35% pay rise ✊

9. Something to be proud of.

I am retirement age, so my resume is never going to change.

What I am proud of is that I have never used alcohol, tobacco, or abused drugs. Not even once.

I have seen these things cause friends and family to pay a high price, including my best friends life.

Even though I don’t understand it , I have the ultimate respect for any one who can overcome an addiction to any of these things.

8. That took a lot of time.

I’ve completed every Halo game solo on Legendary, and every VidMaster challenge.

7. A wordsmith.

I won 3rd place in the r/RWBY story contest.

6. Sometimes life surprises you.

Due to a very traumatic divorce that led me to crying jags from 1984 to 1987, I was unable to function in my psychiatry career. Until then, the ivory tower of academia and psychiatric practice had been all I had learned. But I wanted to make a sabbatical out of that for those three years and I went into the work force. Much as student organizations forced some university presidents to get down from their cloud nine and dig ditches to see what the lives of the students were like.

I entered the then-established Kelley Girls Temp Agency, now known as Kelley Services. I passed the tests required and was allocated jobs such as clerking, expediting, assisting executive secretaries, writing resumes, etc…With my confidence, rapid learning, and ability to adapt, I amazed everybody. I was taught word processing and my engineers were admired for computerizing their drafts “as accurately as we’ve never seen before.” I also helped sell, sell, sell an owner of a specialty women’s clothing. She was shocked that I had charmed her old customers to buy more tickets than before. And I brought in new customers to buy or order their quinceanera dresses from that store, particularly young Latina girls.

My mastery of the English language won me appreciation due to my Philippine heritage.

I then quit Kelley Girls and became a recruitment specialist. My success in that business was such that I wouldn’t have left it if I were just after money. But I returned to my passion, Psychology, in due course.

These were the lessons from those three years of my life that I learned:

(1) That people worked very hard in the labor force and gained very little,

(2) That women had to work harder than men and, by competing with one another, hindered themselves,

(3) That big-name tech firms were lying to their staff,(4) That there were unhappy lives of many professional people whom I employed for higher paid positions and whom I had to interview in costly cocktail lounges. One optical physicist, for example, a former football player, wished that he were a woman “because all my wife (his fourth) does is stay at home, primp, and spend my money.”

(5) That there was a science I never heard about, Like Tritium Engineering, which I had to study for companies that needed those skills to find recruits.

(4) That you can get anywhere you want to go by combining curiosity, the ability to study and learn, language mastery, trust, and charm.

It made me very, very happy to know that, without becoming a doctor/psychiatrist, I could live very well in the world. Later on in my life, in addition to practicing psychology, I became an entrepreneur because of the above experiences.

5. Taking initiative.

I stopped a young girl from taking her life, after she told me that she wanted to “take a bunch of pills and fall asleep”.

I actually referenced it in my resume, with my experience on the Therapy Site we talked on, but they didn’t bring it up in the interview.

4. Too many wolves.

I am very Kind Hearted.

I think it would be silly for some people that i am sharing this , but i think i am proud of my kindness and i would never put it on my resume bcoz its never needed.

3. The more you know.

I’ve reviewed literally thousands of resume’s over the years, and the number of people who put “Mensa Member” on them is much higher than you’d expect.

Resume goes right in the trash.

2. The best accomplishment of all.

Getting out of being suicidal, well kinda getting out, I’m on my way at least.

1. I’ll be right over.

I make a MEAN shakshuka.

Don’t overcook the eggs; The yolks should still be runny.

Don’t make it too thin(if you do, just reduce it some before adding the eggs). It should be able to be put on top of a slice of bread or similar without all of it just running off the sides.

Sometimes the most useless talents to other people are the ones that mean the most to us, don’t you think?

People Talk About Things They Hate That Other People Love

Are you ready to talk about how much we all hate popular things?

Here’s your chance thanks to Ask Reddit:

What are things that everyone loves but you hate? from AskReddit

So, which thing bad, and not actually good? Let’s find out.

1. Celebrating failure.

Shows like American Idol.

I have secondary embarrassment on behalf of the people who think they’re incredible but are awful.

I squirm in my seat and just flat can’t watch them.

– swirlysleepydog

2. Way to rain on it.

I hate Parades.

– Naz_tsc

3. The things you like aren’t ASMR, they’re white noise.

I hate most ASMR. The only ASMR that is actually soothing is pouring rain or a fireplace.

Other forms of ASMR are just people crunching or whispering which is creepy and not at all smooth like the consistency of pouring rain or a fireplace.

– DrTechno6

4. A bunch of characters.

Twitter

Twitter is like a real life badly written cartoon villain who’s only evil just for the sake of being evil.

– NotDaWaed

5. Not so driven.

Driving a car. Not sitting in a car when someone else drives, but actually being behind the wheel.

I mean, I’m sure not everyone loves it but when we all started driving lessons when we were teens, I was the only one who couldn’t bring myself to actually finish those lessons to get my driver’s license.

– foxsalmon

6. Just dance.

Famous TikTok stars that got famous for dancing.

I don’t see anything wrong with it but what doesn’t sit right with me is that most popular creators are famous because of their appearance.

They see a pretty face and they’re just simpin like nothing. Where’s the same energy for people on the app that do so many unique and cool things?

– Chamcham2u

7. They are extremely fake.

I don’t know if a lot of people love these, but those “real/live” ghost hunting shows.

They seem so fake to me.

– ChaoticDoopster

8. Crowds do suck.

I hate live music.

I’ve been to several concerts, from my favorite bands, but don’t really like the sound of the live music, versus the studio version.

Couldn’t really get into it, and just stood or sat there waiting to leave, every time.

Plus, I hate crowds, so there’s that.

– Throwaway7219017

9. See the world.

I don’t hate it, but traveling is just okay.

Fun and interesting, but also expensive and potentially stressful or a letdown.

I don’t think it’s a transcendental experience that changes you as a person.

Everyone should be exploring new cultures and ideas all the time, not just on vacation.

– jittery_raccoon

10. Whoa.

Keanu Reeves

I don’t hate him, I hate the worship. Like yeah he is a cool guy but, I don’t understand the obsession for a celebrity that is humble.

The obsession for him reminds me of “professional mothers” spamming kid pics every hour on the hour.

– The_ranting_spider

11. They’re just making excuses.

When people say “this is the way I am”.

Why the f*** won’t you even try to be flexible with the situation?

– adams_glitch

12. You’re toast.

Avocado.

It literally tastes like nothing and I can’t understand why is it so popular

– paulpaul25

13. In a rush.

Shortening words like “guacamole” to “guac,” and “cucumber” to “cuke.”

Are we that short on time? It’s petty and ridiculous, I know, but that’s the thing I hate that others find odd.

– Nobody275

14. Happiness?

Balloons. What the f*ck is the point?

– psychosocialstudies

15. Ever the contrarian.

Telling me what to do.

– djb2589

I’d say the answer for me is brunch. You’ve got a free morning with no responsibilities and you want to get out of bed and drive somewhere to spend $50 on some eggs? No thanks.

What would your answer be?

This is What Influencers Are Like in Real Life

It totally blows my mind that “influencer” is…

  • a) a recognized profession now
  • b) something people are actually proud to claim

“What do you do for money?”
“I try to be popular on the internet so people will buy the stuff I tell them to.”

It’s hard to imagine. So here’s a peek behind the curtain via Ask Reddit:

IRL friends of social media “influencers”: what is it like? from AskReddit

Let’s see what Redditors with the inside scoop had to say.

1. “A lot of getting ignored.”

I dated one. Not super popular but followers in the 100k range last time we spoke.

I remember a lot of getting ignored and only receiving nice gifts/acts of kindness when they could post about it.

Asking me to go to nice places (they didn’t drive) only to leave me on a bench somewhere while they took pictures.

Huge strain on the relationship, especially when they started to get bigger and there was more demand for content.

– 42charlemagne

2. “We’re all using each other.”

She hasn’t come to anything I’ve invited her to in 5 years because she only goes to events that “further her business.” Regularly says things like, “we’re all using each other for something.” Sometimes she texts me the same exact thing word for word over a couple of days, and it’s obvious she just copy/pastes the same thing and sends it to all of us and then forgets who she has sent it to.

She still reaches out to me multiple times a year and claims I’m one of her best friends, but it sure doesn’t feel like it.

I’ve told her as much, but she just says “this is my life now, my business comes first and if you can’t accept that, then I guess you’re not a real friend.”

– Cirrus-Ramparts

3. “Always on the phone.”

Friends with a high profile athlete who is pretty popular on insta…. he is always on the phone… never lives in the moment.

If we are doing anything fun? well, it basically didn’t happen unless the world knows about it.

Its just annoying …I cant imagine living for the approval or satisfaction of others.

– Neither-Act1355

4. “A wannabe.”

I know a wannabe influencer.

She will reply to her own posts from her husband’s account praising herself.

Then she will reply to those posts as herself thanking him, it’s hilarious, like inception for Facebook.

– Sydneyfigtree

5. “She quit her job.”

I post travel photos and have about two hundred followers. 200, not 2000 or higher.

My friend somehow thought that was influencer status and decided to copy me – except she quit her job so she could travel more and “grow her own brand”.

In 2020. She lost her apartment, her car, and still hasn’t found a job, but calls herself a professional influencer all the same.

– oikorapunk

6. “Awful.”

Awful. One of my best friends fell real hard into Instagram, and for a few years it was tolerable and understandable, albeit annoying and strange. Everything needed to be documented in specific ways, so lots & lots of photos, even if it took away from the moment. But the strange part was how, when she’d share things, the captions always told a slightly different story than what actually happened. Like just off enough for me and my other friends to say, huh, that has a weird quality to it.

Fast forward a couple years, and she gets engaged. Boom. This was the catalyst for the worst of the influencer mentality to come out. I was in the bridal party, and it was a nightmare. No gratitude, just demands. Demands for expensive trips and expensive parties and all kinds of things that were above and beyond the means of her closest friends. And all the demands were because she had a “following” and had certain expectations to meet.

It was really heart wrenching to witness someone belittle their best friend and maid of honor for trying to plan a sweet bridal shower because it wasn’t going to be at an expensive restaurant or art gallery.

It reached its peak for me when, after the in-state wedding became an expensive destination wedding, there was the demand for an out-of-town bachelorette party a few weeks before. I was honest and said I couldn’t afford the bachelorette (mind you, I made about a thousand sacrifices over those months to afford what I could), and was promptly bridezilla’d and told I ruined the whole experience and that I was an awful, fake, inauthentic person.

It got so bad that the bridal party fractured and disintegrated, she lost two of her best friends (myself and the MOH didn’t even attend the wedding after all her behavior and blow-ups), and we’ve barely spoken since. All so she could have an instagrammable wedding that would look good for the few photos she ended up sharing of it. And, true to the weird strange re-written reality ways she had, she published a public “apology” on her blog for her followers and family that completely distorted and rewrote what happened, painted herself as the victim, and got her the sympathy points she was looking for.

Ppl really lose themselves when they create an artifice for social media. I learned a lot from her.

– whenthesunrise

7. “Hasn’t changed her at all.”

I’m not sure if this counts as an “influencer” but one of my close friends is a small-ish music streamer on Twitch.

If I said her username you probably wouldn’t know her, but she’s successful/popular enough to where she makes a comfortable living from streaming.

She’s been doing it for several years now and it hasn’t changed her at all.

If anything she’s now just more willing to pay for stuff when we all hang out because of her newfound disposable income.

– DM_AOC_FEET_PICS

8. “To be honest…”

To be honest it’s really sh*t. I feel like I’ve been completely forgotten about and like I don’t matter anymore.

I think that’s just some weird misguided jealousy but it still hurts because I miss talking to my friend

– EmeraldSunrise4000

9. “Not worth it.”

Sad. In the beginning they started because they got offers from brands because they were so popular on Instagram and it was a lot of fun for them.

Now they don’t ever post pictures or videos without a filter. Rarely ever like a picture on the first try and don’t you dare post any pictures of them without getting their approval for it.

Imagine trying to get a group picture with all of your friends for your birthday but having you take almost one hundred shots to get one that your influencer friend is happy with.

Also in the beginning I would like and comment on all of their posts but now that’s not enough. They expect me message it others, share it on my stories and my page (something about new rhythms and likes not being important anymore). I hate posting stuff to my page but I do it any way to be supportive.

It is so tiring. They do get free things sometimes though that they sometimes share with me. Not worth it imo.

– yonewredditwhodis

10. “Pretty mundane.”

Pretty mundane, honestly. My friend is conventionally attractive, and if you look at her social media, you’d think she were a supermodel millionaire who goes on tons of trips.

She’s actually chronically unemployed, and has an income of less than 10k/yr. Her boyfriend makes about $60k/yr which is enough to afford them a very nice 3 1/2 bedroom apartment, and she has tons of props she uses to make each room look different from day to day so it seems like she’s always in a new, exotic place.

They take two trips a year to fun, tropical places, in which she takes many photos, and posts them as different places throughout the year.

She’s a very kind, considerate, sparkling personality, but whenever we hang out, I tend to be a shoulder to cry on as she laments about her lack of success in life. It’s quite sad, honestly.

But with her creativity and personality, I think she’ll achieve her dreams eventually.

– LemonFly4012

11. “Lost touch with reality.”

Two of my distant cousins, they’re sisters, and are relatively well known YouTubers. I remember the first time I met them, I was 9 years old and saw that one of them was fiddling with a program on her laptop. I asked her what it was, and she showed me her editing software (thinking back, it was probably iMovie) and basically told me about how she records videos and posts them to YouTube, and that she had about 5,000 subscribers. She was really passionate and excited about it, and it seemed like she could go on and on for hours. I don’t think she got paid a penny. I thought it was cool at the time but didn’t think much of it. Just a hobby, I figured.

Fast forward almost 10 years and she has nearly 9 million subscribers, lives in a beautiful house in LA, and makes more money than anyone else her age could dream of. Her sister graduated college, but she saw her success and fell into the same “influencer” trap as well, because that’s where the money was/is. So they both “influence” full-time and have a whole team of people to do editing, assistant work, PR, managing, etc.

I would say the most obvious thing is that the first sister I talked about seems to have lost touch with reality, simply because she’s been doing this for SO LONG. She acts much younger than her age to get views and maintain relevancy, and she’s gotten very used to living a privileged life, so much so that she frequently complains about “how difficult her job is” when there is no doubt in my mind that, if it were to all disappear tomorrow, she’d be like a deer in headlights working something like a 9-5. Considering she doesn’t even edit her own videos or set up her own camera, she has hardly a thing to complain about, especially sitting in front of your vlog camera and crying to the people who are watching your videos and essentially paying your bills about how stressful your job is. I mean this girl literally has an assistant to fetch her coffee and salads (as if she has no time to do it herself, maybe having an assistant is just an “influencer” or “status” thing to do??). She lives a very spoon-fed life, and seems to frequently forget it.

Fortunately the college-graduate sister is very down to earth, and even she seems to acknowledge the ridiculousness of the whole thing. But at the end of the day, they’re doing very well and I will always wish them the best. I just find myself wondering how much longer it will last for them.

– julesjules76

12. “Fake and staged.”

Exactly as fake and staged as you imagine it to be, the on-camera moments are completely non genuine.

It is in the end just an acting/modeling job and not their real personality.

– SagittariusA_Star

13. “Incredibly annoying.”

So incredibly annoying. I actually ended up cutting her off because everything had to be a photo opportunity. We could never just go out to lunch, or see a movie without it turning into a photoshoot. She never did anything with our friend group unless it was ‘aesthetic’, and even then, she was so focussed on getting us to take photos that a. she didn’t get to enjoy the activity, and b. it started bringing everyone else down because they couldn’t participate either.

And this sounds so petty, but she could never just show up in a t-shirt and leggings (because photos, obviously). Like even sleepovers and movie nights had to be a big production and sometimes you just need to stuff your face with popcorn and look like a slob! It’s good for the soul!!

She’d also complain a lot about how hard her job was… Our friendship group at the time consisted of an EMT, two nurses, a teacher, and me who was juggling university, tutoring, and working retail. Like, I’m sure she had challenges and all jobs are hard sometimes, but… girl…. you get paid to take selfies with free stuff, and show up at events looking pretty…

– MutedApricot

14. “Always bragging.”

a girl in my homeschool group in middle school was always bragging about how her parents had a youtube channel with thousands of subscribers.

she was really arrogant about it and i didn’t enjoy spending time with her because she was a brat.

the funny thing is nobody ever believed her (including myself) until one day i stumbled across a video of theirs while scrolling through youtube.

sure enough, they had thousands of subscribers. she hadn’t been lying and i was shocked. now they have well over a million. they dont upload very often anymore though

– Escapist7427

15. “Bully.”

She became a horrible self-centered bully.

– Gremlinnut

Sounds like it might not be totally worth it living life under the influence.

Popular Things That Some People Really Hate

Do you ever feel like you’re taking crazy pills because everyone around you seems totally into something you just can’t stand?

Well, you’re actually not alone, as evidenced by the response to this prompt on Ask Reddit:

What are things that everyone loves but you hate? from AskReddit

Let’s take a peek at what Redditors had to say.

1. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!

YouTubers who scream and make fake expressions.

– NotThisNonsense

2. It’s lazy neoliberalism at its finest.

“progressive” shows like Glee or The Good Doctor portraying the stereotypes they’re supposed to challenge.

– ofawafflekind

3. And the award goes to…

Awards shows.

Why do people want to watch the privileged few circle j**king off fellow privileged few?

– Use-Admirable

4. Genuinely I get no enjoyment at all from these.

Reality shows.

Specifically those completely focused on out of touch rich people (Kardashians/Real Housewives) or just straight up drama (Bachelor/Survivor)

– saltythebobcat

5. Rap it up.

Modern rap.

All my I have to listen to that crap all the time around my friends.

Before i get annihilated in the comments i live in Poland and the rap here IMO is pretty bad

– Mizbros

6. I feel ya on this one.

Weed. Seriously. I hate being high. Every time I just regretted it and wanted to sober up and get it over with.

It ain’t for me.

– CraigManTrucker

7. Such a chore.

Makeup. I’m a 20 year old woman who barely knows the basics of makeup.

absolutely despise the culture surrounding it, and it makes me hesitant to actually learn how to do it properly.

– Argentum1909

8. Why do they keep trying?

People seem to like the new Jurassic movies, I f*cking loathe them.

I can’t believe how tacky and terrible they are.

– _Hey_Paul_

9. Oh, baby.

Babies- They kind of really gross me out, I’m sorry

– milkbreadsimp

10. Wine about it.

Wine.

I’m constantly seeing everyone pouring themselves a glass to relax and unwind at the end of the day.

Every type, every brand I try just tastes awful to me.

– Calym817

11. Just gross.

Child pageants.

They just make me feel…sick.

It looks like something that was invented by a pedo to get off on all the little girls looking dolled up in skin-tight suits.

– purple-nomad

12. Smashing stereotypes.

The notebook.

It’s soooo boring.

I also hate going shopping for clothes.

Trying on clothes always puts me in a bad mood because it takes up so much time. (I’m a girl btw)

– BitHistorical

13. Far, far away…

I just don’t really like star wars movies. None of them.

I don’t find them entertaining even though I have watched each one at least two times

– nrgx537

14. Friendship ruined.

Hidden role games like Among Us.

I hate the lying, screaming over each other, the gaslighting.

It’s all just not fun for me and I genuinely don’t understand people enjoying it.

– bobbery5

15. Misanthropy.

People

– yesimtheguyshe

I think for me the answer would probably be Game of Thrones.

I know that pretty much nobody liked it by the end, but I couldn’t get into it at all in the beginning, either. It just felt so joyless and somber and opaque.

Nothing fun to latch onto.

What about you?

Give us your answer in the comments.
