I know there are apps out there for finding songs with just the lyrics or even singing or humming, but those AI apps are often innacurate and can't find certain songs for me when I sing or hum it. Yet I can sometimes hum or sing the same lyrics to somebody else and they'll tell me the answer. Like even Shazam sometimes can't find a song I sing or hum, even if it's popular and very recognizable.

And here on Reddit I've only seen subreddits for typing out what you remember about the song and the lyrics. I'm looking for a subreddit I can just post a video or audio clip of the song I found, or even a recording of me humming the song just to see if someone recognizes it, if that exists.

I keep seeing videos on TikTok of people recording their siblings and parents doing and saying weird and problematic things without them knowing, and posting it online . Like people recording their parents listening to AI music in the car, along with people sometimes recording their parents conversations on political issues, and a couple videos of their parents and grandparents taking too long or being difficult at a drive thru or to a waiter at a restaurant.

I get your parents do strange things and can be insufferable, but why are you recording them behind their back and poking fun of them on the internet? Not only is it rude, but it's public, ANYONE can see it. EVEN YOUR MOM AND DAD. People just post this stuff like their parents won't see it. I imagine parents sometimes DO find out, their kids get punished, and it's just an awkward situation. It's just a wrong and weird thing to do.

Almost every movie where robots either take our jobs or take control of society results in destruction or apocalypse, or SOMETHING bad, and I'm wondering if there's any where this sort of thing is portrayed positively, like everyone now has free time since robots have our job, or robots take control and make society better, something like that

It annoys me when I try posting online help on how to fix an electronic device, household appliance, or read comments on a post like this, and someone tells you to "just buy a new one", no matter how hard you've tried to fix it. If you haven't bought a new one yet, it's for a reason.

My old skateboard had screws that were damaged once, and I made a post asking how to fix it, and I went into a LOT of detail about different methods I did, different tools I used, and how many hours I spent trying to fix it, yet there were a couple of comments simply telling me to buy a new one. Like, with what money? WHY do you think I spent that much time trying to fix something and put so much detail in a post asking how to fix it? Do you think that idea NEVER crossed my mind?

I saw the same thing in a post with a guy that asked how to fix his old PC, and he put in detail HOW many tutorials he watched and even explained he's opened up the PC and tried fixing the parts themself. Some people commented telling him to buy a new one, and he responded saying that he was trying to fix THAT specific PC because it had family photos on it. See what I mean? Nobody does that much work trying to fix something without buying a new one for a reason. Telling someone to just "buy a new one" is straight up wasting their time.

There are a lot of things we did or saw as children that either don't exist or aren't common anymore, like playing with a Wii or shopping at Toys R Us, and I hear people often say that todays generation will never know the experience of doing it.

But what annoys me is how some people say this about things that are VERY much still a thing. Like I saw a video of people playing with one of those rainbow PE parachutes, and people in the comments were saying "kids these days will never understand" and "only 2000s kids will remember". Hello? Those parachutes are DEFINITELY still a thing kids use.

I've also seen multiple TikTok videos of people saying "kids today will never know how tough silent lunch was" Like are you serious? You think SILENT LUNCH of all things is only something YOU grew up with?

On top of that, I saw an entire TikTok slideshow of random ordinary nostalgic things, like a bowl of cereal, sunset out a little kids bedroom, and one of those fake backyard toy houses, and everyone in the comments were like "kids today will never understand :(:("

Are we serious now? Yes a lot of kids today grow up differently than we did, but there are still a LOT of universal things we did that they do.

I'm looking for films with a protagonist that has a mean, cold, or unforgiving personality, but is still in the right and does what they're supposed to do. I'm not talking about a film where the protagonist is actually evil, or at least does evil things and eventually redeems themself.

I'm talking about a protagonist that defeats the villians, helps the other protagonists, and does everything right, they're just not friendly about it, and not kind hearted like regular movie protagonists. Kind of like a protagonist with attitude towards other main characters out of anger or disagreement.

A movie with a MAIN and not secondary protagonist like this would be preferred, if there's one like that

Basically what I want to discuss is this one guy on Instagram golden_modz who makes videos of him throwing food at peoples windshields when they speed in school zones. They all seem scripted, but the crazy thing about them is that you can tell by their voices and the video quality that it's not AI, and this guy is ACTUALLY throwing whole bins of food and snacks at peoples cars, sometimes even damaging their windows.

And I have no clue how somebody can do this, since if this wasn't scripted he'd be in jail, and if it IS scripted I don't know how he can just find so many people willing to have their cars damaged, especially when some cars he damages are SPORT cars.

What subreddit would be best to discuss this and get answers? I've tried asking in the comments section of his videos but nobody replies.

At my local Walmart, they have 2oz bottles of sodas for $1.60 RIGHT above 500ml bottles of the same brand for $2.40. (500ml is 4 times smaller than 2 liters) Same exact shelf, and the 500ml bottles aren't even refrigerated, and it's hilarious.

I have a photo of it, but I'm not sure which subreddit is best for sharing generally ironic and funny things. For example, R/mildlyinteresting wasn't good enough since this is just funny and ironic, not interesting. Nor was r/mildlyinfuriating. It wasn't infuriating, you can just choose to buy the bigger bottle. And r/walmart is for walmart employees. I just want to find a good subreddit for general ironic things like this.

(I am mainly doing research on long haul trucking jobs, but if you only have info or experience with local driving you can tell me too. Also I am in the US)

Usually when I do research on pay and schedule of this career, it's semi truck drivers and tanker truck drivers. That's usually what every website talks about and uses examples of. And I know tanker truck drivers usually make more because they have a hazmat certification and drive something much more dangerous.

But other than that, I'm wondering if the specific truck or CDL class A vehicle you drive has that much of an impact on your pay and schedule, if it's not just your experience and company that determines it.

There's many other trucks to drive and hauls to do, like log truck drivers, car transporters, mobile home transporters, steel and metal transporters, the list goes on. Do some of these careers have better or worse pay than say, driving a semi truck? Like do car transporters make more than regular trailer semi truck drivers? Or do log truck drivers typically work more hours per day than metal and rod material transporters?

I also know most semi truck drivers make around $30 an hour in the US and often work 11+ hours a day, both behind the wheel and not behind the wheel on duty. Are there any CDL class A jobs that typically work less, like closer to 8 or 9, or ones that almost alway you max out 11 hours of driving a day and 3 hours on duty, maybe even more due to somewhat illegal schedule loopholes, determined by WHAT vehicle you drive?

Once again I know your pay and schedule is typically determined by your work experience and company, but I'm also wondering how much impact the vehicle you drive has.

I know in the US, Truckers can legally drive up to 11 hours a day and be on duty up to 3 hours and must take a 10 hour break each day. Are any of you guys actually working that much each day? If not, how many hours a day ARE you guys working, both behind the wheel and on duty in other tasks?

I never understood the stigma behind "Kids getting a C means they need to improve and do better" and why some people believe that. I mean, a C is an AVERAGE grade. AVERAGE. Yes you can do better and a lot of kids do better, but you wanna know what's also average? Having a bachelors degree, making 60k a year, and having 2 kids (or at least in some countries like the US). You think it makes sense to shame someone for only making 60k a year or only having 2 kids? That's stupid. Having an average grade is okay and there is nothing wrong with it.

I tolerate spicy food pretty well, but when I eat something a bit too spicy, I just wait for the pain to go away. When I drink milk or water, I feel the pain go away for only a couple seconds as the liquid goes down my throat. And after that, it comes back WORSE, and feels a bit different too. I'm guessing it's the sensation of additional food or tastes coming into my mouth in addition to spice. Honestly water doesn't make it THAT much worse, but milk definitely does.

I keep seeing these videos of people trying to avoid Walmart employees checking their receipts, McDonalds workers stopping customers from filling water cups with soda, and people making fun of Home Depot employees trying to stop customers from buying one cent items that have been pennied out but are still on the shelf.

The comments, and sometimes people in the video, make fun of the employees because "oh they're doing way too much for 10 bucks an hour" and other excuses like "they still get payed regardless".

And this kinda pisses me off. First of all, yes they're making barely enough to survive and our underpaid, but they NEED that money. If it wasn't for that job, they'd be making NOTHING. Second of all, they won't necessarily be "get payed regardless". If they don't do their job right, they can get disciplined, and if they get disciplined enough times, they get FIRED, and once again, they make NOTHING.

And not only that, a lot of those employees could have been previously fired, could have a criminal record, or could just be a victim of todays terrible job market and had been rejected from a bunch of places they applied to before getting the job they're at. I had to do over 100 job applications to places all over town before I got MY job at Walmart, so you know damn well I'm gonna take it seriously, even if it means confrontation with customers over "small things", like putting your bike inside instead of outside at the bike rack.

Even though sometimes these employees actually do what they're not supposed to do (like sometimes the Walmart employees grab the shopping cart which is illegal, or in the Home Depot videos the manager comes over and lets customers buy the pennied out items) a lot of these employees may be new, or undertrained. Like in Walmart where I work, you just do your training on a computer, and then a worker in your department who may be making mistakes too shows you the basics of your job, and there are STILL things you have to learn. Like I was working at my job at Walmart for MONTHS until I learned where all the trash cans were, and I worked there for almost a YEAR until I learned where a bathroom in the auto center was that I was supposed to clean. Why did I not know? Because it was usually cleaned by someone else, and NOBODY EVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT.

So in summary, yes employees take their job and small things seriously for a reason. I HATE the idea that people should expect them to not take it seriously just cause they make minimum wage. You want them to be lax just so you can walk out without a receipt check and fill a water cup with soda? Don't start crying when the shelves aren't stocked at Walmart or your McDonalds order takes forever. THAT'S what really happens when people don't take their minimum wage job seriously.

About every 20 years, a new form of media of Watership Down is made, and each time it's maturity or style changes. In 1978, there was the gory animated film. 21 years later in 1999, there was the childrens animated series. And then 19 years later after that in 2018, there was the CGI animated miniseries on BBC and Netflix that was somewhat graphic with minimal gore but still PG.

My prediction is that this pattern will continue, and about 10-15 years from now, in the late 2030s, there will be a fourth adaption. Now that 2d animation and CGI animation has been done, this one will be live action. In addition, live action movies typically attract older audiences more, so this one will be PG-13 with more language and violence than any of the others.

What do you guys think? Is this likely? I can see it coming.
