So, like there's this song I listened to literally every day a year ago. The song was released in the 2000's, and it was R&B.

I have literally no idea what the song was about, but I remember the music video.

I remember the beginning clearly. The first shot is the ocean, and then it pans up to the city. Then, the singer of the song, who is a woman, was using her laptop. I'm so sure she was on Skype or something.

I think a guy (???) sang along with her during the song, he might've been her boyfriend or something. I think the rest of the music video was just her partying

I checked if it was an Aaliyah or Rihanna song, but I'm sure it's neither. I listen to them pretty often, and I know it's not them.

I remember hearing this story on Rslash in one of his TIFU videos.

So the gist of the story is that this guy really liked a basketballer, and this basketballer (I'm, like, 60% sure it was Kevin Durant) said that he drank 7L per day every day or something, and the OP was inspired by this, so he started to drink 7L of water every day as well.

So OP tries really hard to drink that amount of water per day. Obviously, it was difficult for him, because that's an insane amount of water to be drinking. But he finally managed to do it, and kept up this routine for a while. He always felt sick, couldn't play basketball properly, but continued for some reason.

He then went to a doctor for his issues, and the doctor was HORRIFIED by OP's habit. The doctor asked him WHY he would willingly do this to himself, and then the OP explained everything. It turned out the 7L of water thing the basketballer said was a misunderstanding, and then the OP felt like a huge idiot.

Additional details:

- I think OP might've been in college/university

- He might've had a girlfriend, who was also horrified by this behaviour

- The misunderstanding might've been something like the difference between the basketballer and OP, because obviously when you're a 7 foot pro athlete and constantly working out, you drink a lot more water than some random college student.

-OP might've gone to the doctor for kidney pains, and I think the doctor said that OP ''literally washed his kidney'' because of the amount of water he was drinking

-OP also played basketball and I think he mentioned it in the story

I saw this painting a few months ago (maybe a year ago?) on Twitter, but I don't think it spawned a lot of discourse. I think the painting got around 100k likes.

The subject was a man buttoning his shirt. I don't remember if we were looking directly at him, or lookong at his backside as he looks in the mirror.

I don't remember anything else. I think there might've been a vanity desk, potentially the one the man was looking into. His room might've also been messy. He wasn't wearing any pants.

The style wasn't realistic, it was kind of painterly, you could see the individual brush strokes.

The painting was definitely from the 20th century. I think it had a short paragraph next to it, possibly talking about suicide and how hard it was to button a shirt.

Some people on Twitter quoted it, saying that they didn't really get why it would be so difficult to button up a shirt, but many people resonated with it because meaningless tasks like that bexome really difficult when you're depressed.

I'm 160cm (around 5'3 if I'm not mistaken) and 16 years old. I turned 16 in June.

My dad is 190cm and my mom is 165. From what I know, my grandma on my mom's side was 165cm at her peak and my grandfather was 175cm at his peak. My relatives on my father's side are taller, with my grandmother being 175cm and my grandfather being around my father's height (185cm).

So why am I so short?

I know that in terms of height, the mother's genetics are more important, but shouldn't I be AT LEAST the same height as my mom, if not a little bit taller? I'm talking about 165-170cm.

My dad had a height spurt at around my age (he was 160cm at 16 and then grew 30 cm in the next 2 years with a lot of pain) and my mom grew continuously until she was about 20, but I don't think either of those factors should impact my height that much?

I know it's impossible for me to grow anymore as I'm 16 and my growth plates have fully fused, so I can't get a height spurt like my father, and I haven't grown since I was about 11, so I don't grow inch by inch like my mother. So why am I so short?

My eating habits haven't been the best, and they were even poorer when I was a kid, but I feel like a doctor should've said something to me if it was that bad, no? I haven't suffered from any eating disorders or anything like that. I didn't really get the best sleep either and I still struggle with it, but again, shouldn't have a doctor told me something if it was that bad?

But I don't think it should've affected me that much? Like, shouldn't I be as tall as my mom?

Also, when it comes to body composition, it's literally my father's. Like our builds are the same. Shouldn't height have come with that?

The only reason I can explain my height is with the fact that my father's grandmother was 140cm....... there's no way a great-grandmother can affect height.... right??? 😭😭😭

Everyone keeps telling me I'm so young and that there's still time, but I'm already 16... so.....

Hi guys, basically what the title says. I really want to be friends with this guy from my class, but we just.. can't talk to each other at all?

We're not really in the same friend group, but we have a few mutual friends. Not close enough for us to directly hang out together, but close enough for us to seat together and be participants in conversations between our friends if that makes sense.

The problem is...I just can't speak to this guy at all. I can speak to random people in my class I've never spoken to before without issue, I'm a pretty social person, but I just can't speak to this guy....

I think both of us are a bit awkward, and somehow I think I keep missing social cues when I'm with him even though I'm fine socially?

I've hung out with his best friend a few times before, usually in the company of one of my friends. I can get along pretty well with his bsf, and they have similar senses of humor, so I don't know.

Whenever his best friend is there, I can speak to him for some reason?? Like, we both made fun of his bsf for a while, and then we started talking and bantering and then had a normal conversation about anime and video games. It was still a bit awkward, but it was your run-of-the-mill-we-haven't-spoken much-conversation.

And because our names are similar, we keep sitting together in some of our classes. We usually barely talk, just making small talk like ''oh yeah, I don't understand a thing LMAO'' or ''damn, the guy in front of us is SO annoying.'' And like, I can make-do with this. I can banter with him sometimes.

Whenever we have tests we cheat off each other, this has been established, and he like... narrates the test while we're doing it? Like, ''Oh wow, question 1 makes no sense. Ugh, question 2 is even more difficult.'' And I don't really know how to add to that, so I'm like ''RIGHT?? This test sucks so much!!''

And like, he sits next to me during I.T. And I have the same issue here that I have when we have a test.

He keeps doing stuff like checking out random google features while narrating, and I'm confused if he just wants to speak to himself or wants me to answer. Like one time he was checking out google maps and was making commentary, so I ask him if that was were he lived. He said yes. He asks me where I live. I answer. He says cool. The conversation is over.

He doesn't really speak to himself whenever he's with his bsf or anything (they sit behind me, so I'm sorta in direct earshot of what's happening), so I'm not really sure if he's trying to talk to me or not.

The problem is that most of our conversations are like the one on top ^

Like his bsf was joking around about this anime with us, and then left, and then I had this conversation with the guy I want to speak with:

Me: ''Hey, do you like this anime? I've been watching it recently.''

Him: ''Yeah, it's pretty good. I'm only on the first season though.''

Me: ''Cool. I think I'm on the 3rd season? I guess I'll have to finish it haha''

SILENCE.

He can hold a decent conversation with like, everybody else in this class!!! I can hold a decent conversation with everbody else in class!! Does he just... not want to speak to me??? Am I misinterpreting his social cues??? Are both of just too awkward to speak normally???

I lowkey keep embarassing myself infront of him (I drooled all over myself once and almost elbowed him in my sleep one time, I horribly failed at ping-pong when we played together, i tripped in front of him, my twitter timeline was really embarassing when it was in direct eye-line, one time a guy's notebook fell out from under my desk with a huge dick on it and I tried to convince him it wasn't mine, you get the picture....)

I THINK he might be put-off by me because of... allat ^ (not even the tip of the iceberg) But like, why does he keep trying to converse with me??

When we were alone in a classroom one time, he tried to make conversation with me!! Again, it was really banal, but he tried to speak to me?? So I don't know if me embarassing myself so brazenly is an issue here???

I tried talking to my parents and friends about this, and they just concluded that our personalities are too similar, so we can't really converse. But I don't know

I REALLY want to be friends with this guy because we have similar sense of humor, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work???

I'm just looking for advice here. How do I speak with this man.

tl;dr: I want to speak to this guy with similar interests and sense of humor, but we always end up having the driest conversations known to man-kind (and also I'm not sure if he even wants to talk to me because I keep embarassing myself in front of him)

Hi guys! I have pretty longish side bangs that I want to keep out of my hair when I sleep. My bangs can sometimes cause acne, especially in heat like this, so I was wondering if sleeping with a headband would cause alopecia or anything similar.

I'll probably just use a basic one like this ^ Please tell me if anyone has any experience w/ this!!

Okay so, about a year ago I saw this cover of a Maneskin song, I think it was ''I wanna be your slave'' by this Japanese channel. I tried looking for the cover yesterday night, but I couldn't find it (Youtube's search is absolute garbage nowadays)

There was nothing special about this channel, I don't think they really did music. I'm, like, 99% sure they did vlogs.

All of the members were male, but one guy was British. I THINK his name was William/Will or something.

They didn't have VTuber avatars or anything, just their real life faces. I don't think any member had dyed hair or anything special (I could be wrong) Also I think ''Will'' had a beard maybe.

From what I remember, the other people in the group didn't really look special. They all had black hair, dark eyes, etc., nothing really set them apart for me. I don't remember how many people were in this group, I think at least 3

Their videos were in Japanese and they had a mostly Japanese fanbase

I tried looking through my YouTube history but it's been so long, and I couldn't find anything. I tried every keyword possible, like cover, maneskin, other various maneskin songs, etc.

I tried searching for this channel but all the results were Chris Broad/ Abroad in Japan

Channels that I'm sure aren't the one I'm looking for:

- Anything related to Trash Taste, CDawgVA, The Anime Man, Gigguk, etc.

- Strawberry Prince or one of their memebers

-Chris Broad

- Anything related to Nijisanji/any other VTuber group

-ChrisAbroad

- Takashii

-Chris Broad

-BritsVSJapan

-Chris Broad

-Hiding In My Room

- Real Real Japan

People on this subreddit LOVE suggesting things that have already been written off by the OP, so I just want to mention, it's not Chris Broad/ Abroad in Japan

Sorry if this has been asked before, Reddit search is infamous for being shit haha

I used the card swipe effect to transition in between two images, but it leaves a few frames that are darkened (see the images below)

I fiddled around with all the Lighting sliders, but nothing works. I'm probably missing something tho

When transitioning

original colors

If anyone knows how to remove this, please tell me lol!!

Hi guys, I thought I'd ask this here.

I want to note that I experience this pain sometimes when I type a lot, but it's more painful when I draw for a long time.

I draw with my right hand, but my left shoulder really hurts whenever I draw. I would say it's around my rhomboid muscles, maybe a little to the left.

Is this something common? Or is it cause for concern? I want to draw a lot more but this pain is stopping me from drawing for a long time.

It's not a burning sensation, just soreness. It doesn't hurt when I press on it, in fact, it actually relieves it a bit.

Is this normal??

So I went to this restaurant like an hour ago, and just when we (me and my dad) were about to leave, we heard the CRAZIEST SONG

For context, we're Bulgarian. We speculated long and hard on what the language could be. I said it was Dutch. My dad said it could be Polish or Croatian. After some time we decided it could've been Serbian.

So the beat was like that one ''I say disco, you say party, disco disco'' song

The beginning was in both Spanish and English, the singer (male) said this: ''Hello Seniors and Senioritas (something in Spanish) Boys and girls, Ladies and gentlemen ,are you READY??''

AND THEN like 20 seconds after he says ''Tom and Jerry!'' But the song wasn't in English (nor Spanish) so he says Tom i Jerry

AND THEN the final chorus is just OPA OPA OPA OPA OPA

IMO it's possible that the song was in a slavic language BUT i'm not sure because we didn't understand ANY of the lyrics besides Tom and Jerry

I was fiddling with my phone like crazy because both of us were trying so hard to find this song BUT SHAZAM CAUGHT ONLY THE FINAL 10 SECONDS AND IT DIDN'T DETECT IT

SO PLEASE. IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS SONG. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT IS

Hi guys, I've tried searching if this is possible but all I get are tutorials on image sequences, which is not what I'm looking for.

For context, I use AE to animate drawings, which means I have a lot of layers. Is there a way for me to import these layers in a way so that the bottom layers are at the bottom without me having to manually move them around afterwards?

What I mean is, AE automatically changes the order of imported files into alphabetical order- if I import file A before file B, file A will always be on top.

I looked this up, all I get are sequence layer tutorials, or just tutorials showing how to import files normally. Google suggested importing the files one by one, and I did do that, but it still doesn't work 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Is there like... a way for me to change this or something? Is there a setting I'm missing?

Also, sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched up a few key words and this exact title on this subreddit and I still didn't get anything 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thank you to anyone who answers this dumbass question 😭😭😭😭 I am DEFINITELY missing something obvious and I'm just too stupid to realize this

Please don't bully me in the comments I KNOW THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION!!! I'm just struggling.... 😭😭😭😭

P.S I don't know if I should flair this beginner help or workflow question... I'm sorry 😭

Hi guys, beginner here.

I wanted to know if there's a way to replace a file for only a few seconds/specific time frame. Basically, what the alt key does but not permanently.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I tried searching around and I got no answers

I remember I watched this video of a guy reading scary reddit stories, I think I watched it around Feb 2025

Basically, the main character is a gambling addict. In the start of the story, he's walking out of a casino and sees this man singing Sunshine lollipops. No one else can see the guy and the guy strikes a deal with him (I don't remember what exactly), where he guides him through life.

The MC has nothing to lose so he shakes hand with the weird guy. I think the deal was that he would always make the right choice and had to stop gambling, but the guy didn't specify any payment.

The MC was really wary of this guy.

So then the MC fixes his life- gets a job, all of his stock market investments go through, he makes a ton of money, he gets a beautiful wife and has a child with her, etc etc.

One day, the weird guy shows up again and takes the MC's spot. The MC is horrified, and becomes like the weird guy in the beginning of the story.

No one can see him, no one can hear him, he's stuck waiting for the right person to come along so he can steal their life just like the weird guy stole his.

At the end of the story, Sunshine lollipops is sung again, or maybe is stuck in the MC's head? I don't remember. I only know that it was shown again.
