SILT: Repay the police for providing all the extra security of flock cameras by putting a trail cam across from your local police station

Police don’t receive enough gratitude for all of the extra effort it takes to watch everyone do everything, we should make sure they feel just as watched over 💜

Fart on his tits

Just wanted to take this opportunity to bring attention to something you probably scroll by daily and don’t even think about

“Fart on his tits”

This workhorse of a comment and its creator have shown dedication and commitment that is rare for Shittyadvice. I’m pretty sure dude hasn’t even spoken another word besides:

“Fart on his tits”

For weeks, maybe months

That’s the kind of stubborn that shines beyond all my half-assed jokes, lame set ups & unclever comebacks. It puts to shame all the ham and all the cheese served and consumed here. And I think…

…I think, it just might bring out the humanity and the dumpster fire in all of us

What do you think?

Monty Hall Paradox

You’re on a game show and must choose between Door 1, Door 2, Door 3

There are donkeys behind 2 doors, a prize behind 1 door

You make a choice and have a 1 in 3 chance of winning

Game show host reveals donkeys behind one of the doors you didn’t chose and asks if you want to switch your choice

Paradox says you always increase your chances of winning of the prize by switching because the odds of winning were 1 in 3, but are now 1 in 2

I expect yall will catch it quickly, but can you see the error in logic here?

I Lost My Dog

I’m going to hold a fake contest so people will send me pictures of their dogs (as the entry to the contest). Then when I get her picture and figure out where she is, I’ll do a breaking and entering and get my dog back

I’m a little worried though…

I’m not sure what the contest and fake prize should be?

Sometimes, if I turn my head and squint a certain way, I can see a sixth toe on my foot

I’m scared I’m seeing the future and will have a sixth toe in a few weeks

What should I do?

My bf is going to spank me when he gets home

He got mad because I thought he cheated on me so I set his boat on fire. I tried to explain that it wasn’t my fault, I REALLY did think he cheated on me when I did it, but he didn’t seem to understand

What should I do?

What was it…

There was a site I found from a post here a while back, approximately 12-18 months ago. You answered two open ended questions and it guessed your type

Can anyone help me out? I can’t for the life of me remember or describe it accurately enough for Google or AI to give me the correct result

I want to become a hoarder but I’m worried once people know how many treasures I have, robbers will come in the night

I’m done standing by watching my life pass me by. I’ve seen hoarders on TV and I always thought “I’d never be able to do that” with jealousy.

Well, I’m doing it. I just can’t figure out how to keep away the robbers who get jealous of me

My picture is on the front of the newspaper this morning. Pretty sure it’s from me stealing charity donations last night.

There’s a phone number to call if you know who it is, I think you win a prize or something. I was the third caller, but maybe they were looking for the second or fourth one because when I told the DJ it was me, he just laughed really hard and told me to quit misusing the official line before he hung up on me- I guess it’s a really big contest

Anywho, I feel like I got jipped out of my prize, what should I do?

Is it possible…

I wonder if it’s possible to be addicted to meth and still be a real Christian?

Like if you could support your habit, didn’t hurt anyone because of it, still lived every other aspect of a normal life

I get that it would probably come to a point where you’d have to make a choice like either steal or go without. Say you choose go without

If your life is genuinely better taking it and you’re not hurting anyone, is it by itself a sin?

Defensive vs Difference

I was just talking to one of the few people I’m actually really close to. They have a problem I had come up with a few ideas to help with. I shared my ideas and, from my point of view, they responded with potential problems with my suggestions. I responded with why I didn’t think those potential problems were applicable

They said I was being defensive

I tried to explain I wasn’t and was trying to be helpful.

Note: I truthfully had no attachment to my suggestions being used or being right, but I don’t want her to disregard a solution that would work and unnecessarily continue to have a problem

They seemed to think I was either feigning helpfulness at that point or something else I didn’t understand so I apologized and reiterated I wanted to help so if it doesn’t help, just disregard

They said they feel like they respond to what I’m saying but end up feeling like they can’t say anything right and should just shut up because they make me feel bad about myself - then they circled back to me being defensive

I didn’t know where to go from here and didn’t want it to get worse so I tried to just end the conversation as smoothly and pleasantly as possible

But now, instead of helping someone I care about find a solution to their problem, I lead them into a conversation that made them walk away feeling bad, still with no clear solution. This type of thing happens to me more often than it should

I just even re-read the sequence of events and can’t see where the trouble is. I am genuinely trying to be helpful and don’t ever want to make anyone feel bad. The overall effect of my speaking is not helpful and makes others feel bad though

The best solution I see is to not care about the outcome of conversations (as in, information relayed, solutions reached, conclusions settled upon, accuracy etc.) and just go with the flow of the conversation for the sake of both of us hearing ourselves talk. But this seems like such a waste of a chance to be genuine and to potentially make real life situations better. Admitting though, currently that’s not what I’m doing either, but I hate to just quit trying

Please tell me if you see a better solution or why I was so unhelpful when I really wanted to be helpful

Noisy eating

If you smack your food, slurp, basically do anything so that I can hear what’s going on in your mouth… just know, I’m actually demonstrating heroic self control by not punching you

I get unreasonably, irrationally irate the second I hear people eating. I mean like I want to blow up the entire building you’re occupying type furious

I wonder if many of yall are like that too?

“Do you see fear in my eyes?”

A girl I know was on an ego trip and threatening me. To try and drive her point home, she was trying to prove she was really going to do all the stuff the was raging about and said “do you see fear in my eyes?”

I said “no” and paused, just long enough for her to start really feeling good about herself

The second she did, I hit her with, “you actually just look completely insane”

Tell me what I don’t know please - Widex repair vs AirPods

I’m trying to help an elderly woman who has hearing loss, here’s what I know:

•she purchased Widex hearing aids twice, she has warranty card for one set that expired 2019 and one set that expired 2023

•both sets of hearing aids stopped working, I don’t know why the first was replaced instead of being repaired

•the second set of hearing aids stopped working before the warranty expired in 2023 but after the local business where they were purchased ceased operation. I don’t have exact dates for either

•the woman thought she was just “out of luck” since the local business was no longer there to repair the hearing aids and honor the warranty

•my research indicates I can ask another authorized dealer to file with Widex for a warranty exception due to the circumstances, but that would require the cost of an office visit at minimum, possibly more, and that’s if the exception was approved by Widex

•Widex says they do not approve exceptions directly for customers, it must be done through an authorized dealer

•I do not know the exact level of hearing loss, I do know she misses almost all conversation and struggles to hear even if you raise you voice to just under a yell (assume by “yell” I mean how loudly you’d speak if you were trying to talk to someone 2-3 rooms away)

•she is on a fixed income and has very little income, but does have some savings, I’m not sure how much. I suspect her monthly expenses exceed income by probably $200-$400

•I wonder how reliable Widex hearing aids are if we get hers repaired (this is her 2nd pair that’s broken)

•I wonder how effective AirPod pros are as hearing aids

•does anyone have any similar experiences or input or advice you can share?

•she has been unable to hear for years and resolving this would increase her quality of life greatly

•this is EVERYTHING I know, so please, anything I don’t know- tell me!

Thank you very much 💜

TLDR- Widex repair if able to receive warranty exemption vs Widex repair if unable to receive warranty exemption vs AirPods

CMV: Ghosting and Blocking without a breakup conversation is tantamount to cheating

When you commit to a relationship, you’re not just committing to not date other people. You’re committing to maintaining that relationship

That means you can assume the relationship exists, unless you’re TOLD it doesn’t

If ghosting and blocking is acceptable, any time the person leaves your presence or hangs up the phone, you may get ghosted and blocked

Except in cases of manipulation where you have had that breakup conversation and were manipulated into changing your mind or in cases of abuse where you could be physically hurt for saying you want to end the relationship, it is not ok to ghost and/or block

You are breaking the commitment you made when you started the relationship just as certainly as if you cheated
