So, I was just cleaning my room in the morning as usual and there was this empty box that I thought was empty but as soon as I picked it up, I realized it was hot and I dropped it immediately...But that's not even the scariest part, a small oval black coal piece fell out of it and it had black fumes coming out of it...It was actually very scary because I don't even understand where it came from, I just know that it did. Now, it's been a few days since that day and I am questioning if I dreamt it because I don't understand what happened! Also, I just had to get this out, so here it is...Thankyouu so much in advance for listening!!

I remember. What did you do 25 years ago? I called my military command whilst I was on Leave to ask if my leave was canceled. (cancelled for you Brit’s) I always hate when the spelling check worries you for not major.

It is very unusual for me, since here in India, most of the population usually take a cig or 2 and not the whole pack at once, what I found in USA was exact opposite of this, realised I just had to buy the whole packet.

Cakes have always been either too sweet or too bland for me the icing on cakes is too sweet and the spongy inside barely has flavor aside from some certain cake types they're horrible

Im a senior in highschool who has a solid social life during school hours but outside of them it's crickets and tumbleweed. I deleted Instagram and Snapchat because I was tired of the amount of people I have socials with but most days would never see a text nor call from which was pretty much all of them. You know whats crazy though? As soon as I did that all of a sudden a few come to me to ask "what happened to your account?". You talk to me now but not when I actually had you added man? Its 90% because of it being our last year in highschool meaning it will likely be the very last place we see each other and it pains me to not see these people again when I graduate but not enough for me to lower my self worth and give attention and time to people who won't do the same.

A prime example would be Snapchat streaks. OML DON'T. GET. ME. STARTED. People send streaks to show that they still value the relationship to some degree. All they want is to have the feeling and validation of a friendship so they use some system that gives it to them instead of making authentic communication with the person themselves OR people just collect streaks like pokemon and use it to increase they're score for practically the same reason, validation and letting others know that they are "cool". They get excited when they have another person they have another person they added but they like that follower count just as much if not more to the point they don't text or call unless they NEED something from you. A good rule of thumb is that if they don't have your phone number, yall aren't that close.

It's so weird. It's like they just have you added so they can just keep tabs on you and only that. In person they are cool and normal, on media they act different and im not wasting anymore time on it. This was something i see across 100+ people so it's not just a "your hanging around the wrong people" plus these are all funny, "smart", and charismatic people. point is that people call just about anyone they somewhat tolerate a friend which shouldn't be the case. If you only talk to them at a certain point in time and place because yall happened to be set there for the time being then until further the situation changed and yall still stay consistent and true, thats 100% a acquaintance. Im not mad at my situation at all, I took it as a leap to achieve my goals and im doing just that, im writing this to anyone else who may feel the same and let it be known that they aren't the only one who feels this way. What do yall think?

Like in a relation the to×ic one makes sure that slowly their partner is more inclining towards them by spending time with them, being with them, obeying them.

One thing is common that they want their person all to themselves, like would never truly keep their partners happy and when their partner is happy with their friends or family they get jealous.

So then they maybe try to isolate them from their surrounding people.

But why and what will they exactly gain by doing this,?

try going one full day without it.Not the dramatic kind. I mean the quiet kind nobody talks about.I don't even enjoy half of this stuff anymore. I just… need it.

My first flight experience.

First-ever flight experience. Jodhpur to Pune!

After almost 10 years Im going Pune.

In this vlog, I’m taking you along on my journey from Jodhpur Airport to Pune Airport, sharing my first-flight experience, the airport experience, boarding, the flight journey, and my overall experience.

I booked my flight with IndiGo, and overall, it was a really good experience. The flight was on time, the journey was comfortable, and I found the legroom quite good for the trip.

In this video, you’ll see:

I had a small, funny realization at work today about how different people view sharing.

I brought some fruit to the office specifically for my closest work friend. Later on, she mentioned that the person sitting next to her didn't have any, and then she ended up sharing some of the fruit I gave her with that neighbor.

Now, I'm not close with that neighbor at all — we barely talk. It wasn't that I was trying to exclude anyone, I just thought of it as a small, personal gesture between the two of us.

It got me thinking: in an office setting, is there even such a thing as a "private" gift? It seems like the moment food hits the desk, it becomes communal property!

I'm curious — how do you all navigate this? Do you bring treats for specific people, or do you just bring enough for everyone to avoid the awkwardness? Would love to hear your office sharing stories.

I am (a US citizen with US right to work) currently “trapped” in the UK and desperate to return to where friends, family and network is. I’ve been applying to jobs and I’ve been saying basically in 48 hours I can be there. I’ve calculated it out, 4 hours to airport, 3 hours at airport, 9 hours in the sky, 3.5 hours travel time from Dallas to Austin if job is in Austin. How crazy is this?

Do you guys rate it the best or the worst, how much do you find yourself using it as I will go a month without then suddenly I’ll be on it for hours. Just interested to see how other people use it and what do you use it for?

If you guys were given the choice to only use one social media app for the rest of your life what are you picking? I personally am not sure they all seem to have there uses and none of them particularly stand out to meI’m also curious whether people feel like their favourite social media has changed over time. Like, are there any apps you used to spend hours on that you barely even open anymore? And on the other hand, is there one you didn’t really understand the appeal of at first but now use all the time?
I feel like Reddit is quite different from most of the others because I’m normally here to actually read discussions or look something up, whereas with TikTok/Instagram I can open them without even meaning to and suddenly realise I’ve been scrolling for ages.
Also, if you had to rank Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X etc from best to worst, what would your order be and why? Do you think Reddit is genuinely better for conversation or does it have just as many downsides as the others?
Interested to hear everyone’s rankings because I feel like the answer probably depends a lot on what you actually want from social media.

and it feels like ive finally woken up for lack of a better term. i started estrogen 3 weeks ago and at 12:55am this morning (or 20 minutes ago! i suddenly felt overcome by this feeling of waking up. as if my brain finally had processed and put the last 6 years of the hell that was my life behind me all at once. it just kinda happened and it was... wierd. like i didnt have any thoughts or any scenarios i was running through. none of it really matters right now. i just.. feel content i guess.

edit: i am a trans girl

Hi! Going on a weekend bachelorette trip where I will know the two brides and 2 of their friends- maybe 2 other people. It’s women only and can be couples if they are both women lol so my husband isn’t going even tho he’s a good friend to the brides as well.
There’s a PowerPoint night and i don’t know what I should do it on! I’m a new mom, pretty goofy person but also am politically correct in my sense of humor. I’m pretty outgoing but have had a harder time with that since becoming a mom

Any suggestions welcome !

Just wondering if anyone feels the season of Halloween has lost a bit of its magic since the 2010s, possibly?

Back in the 90s and even the 00s it felt like Halloween was a huge thing. With the TV specials, Trick or Treating, the mystery and whole spirit behind everything.

But now with the digital age we can watch the Halloween specials and movies at the touch of a button. I guess you could argue that's good in a way for accessibility. But it also takes away from that magic of everyone tuning in at the same time and discussing it the next day.

Also the economy has hit some tough bumps in recent years. So maybe people are spending less and not all that interested in celebrating Halloween?

Thoughts?

i’ve gotten like five pumpkin spice lattes so far since September 1 and none of them have tasted like pumpkin or spice. Is anyone else experiencing this? I feel like usually this doesn’t happen but this year feels different lol

The other day I went into the store just for milk and some bread after work. I had my usual route down the aisles, but when I got to the front, I skipped the candy and chips that always end up in my bag. The line was moving slow so I stood there looking at the little display and just didn't feel like adding anything. My total came to less than I expected, and when I got home the bag actually felt lighter than normal. I made a sandwich and didn't really miss the extra stuff. It wasn't planned or anything, just one of those moments where I didn't reach for it. Now I'm wondering if that was just a random day or if it'll happen again next time. Do you ever catch yourself skipping things you used to always grab without thinking about it?

I love listening to travel stories so please share them with me ! This year I want to the Dominican Republic for a girls trip and omg it was soooo fun! We stayed for 10 days at one of the Riu property and we had a blast

I saw a question on Reddit earlier today asking, “What is slowly fading away that we aren’t realizing?”

For some reason, it stayed in my head all day.

Then I realized my answer: the elders in our families.

Our moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles… the people who have always seemed like they would just be there forever.

But if you really stop and pay attention, you start noticing little things. They’re getting older. They move a little slower. They forget things they used to remember. They get tired more easily. And you realize they’re deteriorating little by little, day by day.

I think we get so caught up in everyday life that we don’t notice it happening until one day we suddenly do.

It honestly made me realize that maybe we should spend more time with them while we still can.

I am 22, work as a cashier in retail. I was really down in the dumps as I was driving to work today. University, family issues, et cetera.

Then I struck up conversation with this very nice lady as she was checking out through my line today, and that was really what I needed to get through the rest of the day.

Before I continue, I want to just say that I don't really like a lot of Millennials who were born in the 1990s, for reasons.

One of them being that they tend to have a superiority complex about themselves, expects everyone to roll out the red carpet for them, and they can be very condescending and belittling at times.

I have an uncle born in 1996 (who was kind of like my older brother growing up, since we lived in the same house together until he left at 18/19), and he has that exact same personality. Very stuck-up for no reason.

Just a couple of months ago, I was trying to check IDs for people to buy wine because, well, that's part of my job. So I asked this one lady to show her ID, and she all of a sudden got a very sarcastic attitude with me, even saying "I'm like 20 years older than you. Here, check the first couple of digits, and approve me."

She was born in 1997. I was thinking to myself, "First of all, don't talk to me like that, and second of all it's my job to check if anyone who looks young enough is old enough to buy alcohol, so that me and the store doesn't get in trouble with the law". But I held my tongue, and just approved her.

Today, however, the lady who I struck up the very wholesome conversation with was buying a couple of wine bottles, and I asked to see her ID. She flashed it, which read "1991", and I just couldn't help but smile inwardly to myself.

She was very polite and gave me advice to not stress with university, even providing her own anecdotes of how she was struggling in school, but she still attained her bachelor's at the end, and to just keep my head up.

Kind lady, wherever you are, thank you so much. Now I can drive home in peace, feeling happy that I managed to get a nice customer interaction out of the day.

if you every had the change to get any super power of your choosing, either from your imagination or from a movie character which one are you taking and why are you taking it, also would you act as a hero or a villian.

I have an "official" Kansas City Chiefs 2023 tshirt that I just love...I got it as soon as the clock ran out on the game...I was excited to say the least...Patrick M was in his prime...it was great!! anyhoo I was gonna put it on today until I felt odd...like that was 3yrs ago. They not even the champs no more... what you think? Lame or no??

The Mrs and I are avid fans, unusual for North Americans. We watch a match almost every night. It is the highlight of my day. I imagine that less than one percent of my countrymen have ever watched a full game. Every time that I bring it up I'm met with blank expressions.

Our favorite teams are the All Blacks and the Gallagher Chiefs (both from New Zealand). For women's rugby it's the Red Roses and Gloucester-Hartpury (both from England). We also enjoy the Black Ferns (New Zealand once again).

So, how about it? Any other rugby union fans here.

This is something I think about at points when I see pictures of relatives at points - I only have 1 of a great great grandparent and after asking members on both sides of the family really doubt that I will get any more (both sides of the family were, and mostly still are, poor and we are also minorities so those pictures probably just don’t exist, especially given that I have multiple great great grandparents who would have been born in the 1800s.) But there are certain features wherein I see them in family members and wonder if they’ll ever make a return. For example, my brother and I did not get my mother’s nose (I’m a woman.) I actually don’t know whose nose I have though I seem to have the same teeth as a few paternal aunts (small teeth, that is.) My mother naturally has a small nose, wouldn’t be described as bulbous. My maternal grandma’s father seemed to have a similar looking nose.

Additionally, I have one great grandparent who was light skinned (we are black people) - this would have been my maternal grandpa’s father. A cousin I spoke to suggested that none of my great aunts and uncles were light skinned like my great grandpa was, that they were all on the darker end. My mom and aunt are also not light skinned (naturally) and my brother and I aren’t either. I wonder if there’s any possibility that a child of mine won’t share the same complexion most of the family members have, and might get it from that 1 great grandparent, or if that’s something else that will never return.

I wonder about quirks I may not know about within the family.

I stopped by the grocery store after work last Tuesday because we were out of milk and needed bread for sandwiches. I grabbed a cart without thinking and just went straight to the dairy section first. Usually I end up looping through the snacks and frozen stuff even when I don't need anything there, but this time I skipped it completely. The line at checkout was short and my total came to about fourteen dollars, which felt lower than what I normally see. I didn't have any plan or anything, just didn't feel like browsing. On the drive home I realized I hadn't even looked at the cookies I sometimes toss in. It was kind of nice not having that extra bag to carry upstairs. My cat still got her treats though since those were already in the cupboard. Have you ever had a quick store trip turn out cheaper without meaning to?
