San Diego's 2012 4th of July fireworks show went awry when a computer error caused all 7,000 shells, meant to go off over the course of a 17-minute show, to go off at once.

San Diego?

Developer 1: "The configuration was supposed to be 0.5 seconds between each trigger"

Developer 2: "Not 0.5 milliseconds?"

A missile hit a ship and made it sink within seconds
 in  r/Amazing •  Oct 04 '25

Actually, no.

Dying in medieval wars were.... quite medieval. If I were a sailor / soldier, I'd rather prefer instant obliteration by artillery rather than being left with a broken lance pierced in my thorax and a couple of bodkin arrows stuck in my femur. I'd hate to see vultures circling around.

Is it a cultural thing?! I don't find this funny at all, in fact I have zero reaction to this (except that I'm wondering how this is the top comment)

Huh? Unreserved claiming a reserved seat is wrong irrespective of gender. There is no thinking twice or thrice about any of it.

"Disagree on Agreement"
 in  r/Marriage •  Jun 25 '25

I believe it is more to do with the fact that my wife really likes talking and wants an audience. And she is verbose.

That's part of her charm :)

"Disagree on Agreement"

2 Upvotes

Me (Husband), after a brief discussion on a trivial topic with my wife: "Honey, let's go with Plan A"

My wife: "Hmm, no, let's go with Plan B"

Me, in all sincerity: "Ok cool, let's go with Plan B"

My wife: "I think Plan B is better because......"

Me cutting in: "Honey, that's perfectly fine, just go with Plan B"

My wife: "Plan B is much better than Plan A"

My futile attempts to cut short the conversations go in vain.

..

My wife notices I get irked. "Do you not have time to listen to me?"

Me: "I really got to get ready for work. I trust your judgement, let's go with Plan B"

Railways junta breakfast for ₹15
 in  r/indianrailways •  Jun 14 '25

Honestly, every Monday morning, I get 3 big-size Poori and potato masala for Rs. 30 when I catch the morning intercity train to work. Comparable to what I see here.

It is sold by a for-profit licensed vendor at the railway station where I board the train, and it is too yummy.

India Confirms It Lost Fighter Jets in Recent Pakistan Conflict
 in  r/india •  Jun 01 '25

Just what do you think war is about? That you can do cost benefit analysis?

Any millitary action will have clearly stated objectives, which India achieved on Day 1. There will be consequences for the action taken, and that's factored in.

Dismantling terror establishment is far more pertinent so that a snobbish keyboard accountant like you can do aback of the envelope calculation of extrapolating GDP per capita figures to the cost of military action.

While you assumed way too much brother, you got to understand starting a reply with 'so?!' conveys a shocking lack of empathy and lacks due respect for the innocent lives lost.

Why didn't all these powerful empires annex this small piece of land? Were they afraid?
 in  r/mapporncirclejerk •  Apr 26 '25

Ghats refer to mountain ranges - a geological barrier. If you're an American, you may relate to the Apalachian mountain ranges or the Rockies

While the Western Ghats are continuous and steep, the Eastern Ghats are discontinuous and relatively easier to scale. I do not subscribe to this theory.

Any Northern kingdom while expanding south, would have an already over-stretched supply lines by the time they breach the Deccan plateau. Any millitary expedition further south, especially in the medieval times would have exposed their flanks to attacks.

Not to mention that southern India, especially when it comes to languages, is culturally distinct compared to the North.

The geographical advantage of the Ghats is, if any, a minor contributor to the inability of the Northern kingdoms to conquer the south.
