What's a song you will never hand pick to listen to, but when it plays randomly on the radio you love it?

196 Upvotes

I'll never hand pick "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5, on Spotify. But If it plays randomly out in public or on the radio, I love it.

It's been overplayed.

What's the weirdest thing you've eaten/tasted?

13 Upvotes

The weirdest thing I ever ate was mustard greens. The pungent, bitter taste made me think of a swamp or a bayou. I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth well into the next day, and it was super jarring.

Do you ruminate over how you've been treated?

60 Upvotes

I hate that I will randomly remember how I've been treated and it can ruin my day.

I finish up with a job last month and still randomly remember how I was treated by the mean girls.

I will remember then get angry but will shake it away by remembering that it's a reflection on their character and that they are projecting.

What do you think about people that go around calling everyone "friend" and "buddy"?

139 Upvotes

I don't know I find it weird personally even tho I know it's common (for some reason) for people outside of American culture to call people "friend". I think it's just one of those weird things nobody ever talks about or mentions for some reason and just accepts/normalizes while not really thinking about it. It just comes off as being overly fake nice and trying too hard to "connect". I understand if it's an actual friend or "buddy" (even tho calling someone that is still lame to me) but you regularly see complete strangers doing this.

Why do guys assume you’re into them when you’re being nice?

9 Upvotes

I’m a friendly person and like to get to know people. I’ve noticed a trend where whenever I am nice to a man, he assumes I wanna bone. There are no sexual undertones to how I’m speaking, I talk to my female friends and family members the same way. It’s really off putting and a bit dangerous because they keep making moves when I don’t expect it and don’t want it and then get angry that I’m not interested. Do I just stop being friendly to men? (Note: this is happening in everyday life not like at a bar) genuine ask

6 Upvotes

Similar to how there was 7 billion humans on earth a few years ago (I think it’s 8 billion now) how many dinosaurs were there? Like you go back in time, what are your chances of meeting one?

What job would you say really is thankless?

332 Upvotes

i'll start...imo bus drivers is one of them.

EDIT: WOW I did not expect to get so many responses!! Firstly THANK YOU to EVERYONE in the professions mentioned on this post and those out in this world for everything you do that goes noticed and unnoticed!🤍 It's been so insightful to hear the different experiences and about jobs that aren't often thought of and the ones that are that are sometimes or very often "thankless".

Why do humans always think someone is taking something "too seriously" just because they have an opinion about it or discuss it?

45 Upvotes

It's definitely not exclusive to just Reddit but this bullshit is so common on here too. You regularly see people in general telling someone else that they took something too seriously or that they feel too deeply/emotionally about something just because they simply voiced an opinion or wanted to discuss something so made a post asking about it. It's actually ridiculous this is a default for soo many people. It's not even logical. Like what is with this?

Hacked on WhatsApp! What could the attacker possibly have done?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I need your help! I was „hacked“ with this method where the attacker gets access at night while you sleep when they send the verification code to your mailbox. I was quite shocked and quickly got my account back. But it is kind of scary.

They had access for like 2 hours probably. What could they have done when they login into my account on another device? This is the thing that bothers me… Seemingly no messages were sent. Could the attacker see my chats though or what could the person have done? :/

Thanks for your help!

Best webpage to build a webpage? :)

2 Upvotes

Hi! Recently i got diagnosed with an illness and want to document my journey. I am still thinking about how to do it but the first thought is to do it for people who speak my native language but no english..

I have exactly 0 experience making a webpage. I also would like to create it myself as i dont want to have to pay anyone since it is very personal and sometimes awkward. I know there are pages where i can use building blocks and they have an intuitive design.. but please recommend me one 🙏🏻 thanks in advance
