As Gen Z, my entire life relies on AI. I can't imagine going back to manual coding or grinding out essays from scratch. AI has put everything on fast-forward. A friend said we're the last generation with fully functional brains because AI is dumbing us down. Thoughts?
I don’t get why in heteroromantic relationships women want their partner to be taller than them, but that also goes the other way around. Men seem to (usually) want shorter women. I know that this ofc doesn’t count for everyone, but like it’s just often the case…
Does this also apply to you? And why do you?
It doesn't have to be job-related. It could be something simple that has made your life easier or something you wish you had learned much earlier
I've got this whole system cups on the top rack facing down, bowls angled a certain way so they actually get clean, no plastic near the heating element, forks handle up but knives handle down safety, I guess. Nobody else in my life does it this way and I get side eyed every time I fix how someone else loaded it.
I know in the grand scheme it probably doesn't matter that much, but I can't stop myself from redoing it if it's wrong.
Curious if this is a universal thing or if everyone's just secretly got their own dishwasher rules they think are the correct way.
Hey everyone,
I just turned 18 today and thought I’d make my first post here 🙂
I’m pretty introverted and usually on the quiet side, but I like the idea of meeting new people and having random conversations with others online. I’ve always found it easier to talk that way compared to real life.
Today’s been a pretty chill day for me — nothing special, just reflecting a bit and realizing I don’t really talk to new people much, so I wanted to change that a little.
So I guess I’ll ask a simple question to start:
What’s something small that made your day better recently?
Would love to hear from anyone who wants to chat.
Thanks for reading 🙂
I received an UGG throw blanket for our wedding that apparently cost like $150. I thought that was an insane amount of money to spend on a throw blanket but fast forward three years and I use the blanket every day and I even took it to bed last night and have used it for a hospital stay. It’s so warm and cozy
We also received a Crate & Barrel Salt and pepper mills and I did not expect to care about them. They have made cooking so much more enjoyable, I love the feel of grinding the pepper and that I can choose the courses. it was a huge upgrade from my cheap ones I have had for ever.
Sitting on the couch last night, Pupper along side me, watching TV and playing Words With Friends. Glance over at my left knee (the one between Pupper and me) and there's a huge 3-4" scorpion crawling up my leg. While I tried not to panic, I slowly stood up so Pupper would leave and my husband ran and got two plastic cups to collect it. It made it up to about my waist. Controversially, we flushed it. When they hit the water they unroll, this sucker was at least 5" long.
That's my story.
So i’ve just been hit by that strange feeling that you get on a Sunday, some people call it “the scaries”. Which usually means that dread of returning to work/school etc on a Monday. Thing is, i’m off, but still getting it. Is this just learned behaviour, or do Sundays inherently feel notably different from other days of the week?
Yesterday, my dog made a mistake of bumping his head on the slide door while chasing a ball. I laughed so hard and I think he got humiliated.
He's was snobbing me and didn't even sit with me on the couch the whole day. Today after I gave him a treat, he started hanging out with me again.
what kinds of outfits do you wear for work? where do you work and what do you do? does your workplace have a dress code, and if so what is it? where are y'all getting your work clothes? if you work in an office that has casual fridays, how does your friday outfit differ from your everyday work outfit?
i'm just curious :)
Am I the only one who dislikes using the ‘patient portal’ for medical things?
I don’t want to look at lab results. I want my doctor to look at them and then tell me what’s what.
I have a group of about 6 close friends and I've realised we spend more time saying "we should hang out" than actually doing it. Someone floats an idea, everyone's instantly "yes let's do it!!", and then… nothing. Nobody picks a day, it quietly dies, and a few weeks later someone goes "we're so bad at this lol" and we start the whole cycle again.
What bothers me is we all genuinely want to see each other. It's not that anyone's flaky or doesn't care. There's just this weird dead zone between "we should" and an actual plan that exists, and that's where it all falls apart.
Is this just… everyone? Anyone got a friend group that's cracked it? Is there always one person who just forces it to happen? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
What's one small change that had a surprisingly big impact on your life, and why?
I'm in a point of life where work / job hunt is burning out, ivf tried reading books meditating, even long walk.. but seems like life always catches up.
And why? Please explain your choice and why you would choose to eat so and so every morning. Is it taste? Is it what’s healthier? Is it texture, etc..? What is it?
I was folding towels at the laundromat, badly but with confidence, when a little kid looked over and said, “You fold those like a hotel.”
His mom laughed and apologized, but I’ve been living off that compliment all day. I walked home like I’d just been promoted in the towel department.
I swear I just hit a wall recently where I completely stopped checking for new artists. My Spotify wrapped is just the same stuff I listened to 5 years ago, and I’ve just accepted my fate. When did that moment hit for you guys?
I have struggled my whole life with motivation for anything; cleaning, exercising, homework, whatever it is, I just can’t get myself motivated. Now, as an adult, it’s even worse.
How do people become motivated to make changes? I want to be one of those people that wakes up one day and decides to make a change.
I’ve made decisions to change multiple times, but I never follow through. I think I struggle with the belief that I will just fail. I can’t fail if I don’t start, which isn’t true because it’s a failure to not start.
I so badly want to work on my mental and physical health. I just don’t know where to start. I’ve read self help books, I’ve done the apps, I journal, and sure, it sounds great but it’s like I’m missing something in my brain to get motivated (not sure that makes sense).
I just don’t know what to do.
All of my close friends have moved away and I only have one close one left who is now married with a kid. There are often days where I don't get to socialize with anyone in person. What is the best way to make new close friends as an adult if you are single, live alone and work from home?
Today an older lady at the grocery store smiled at me and said, “You look like someone who knows how to pick good bananas.” I have no idea what that means, but I’ve been weirdly happy about it all day. What’s the most random compliment you’ve ever gotten?
A few years ago I stumbled over a website that tells you how many days old you are. I then marked today's date as when I turn 10000.
Nothing much is happening today. I'm tinkering with my linux computer and chilling with my family. I don't plan on celebrating this that much, a birthday a year is plenty for me lol
Still, it does feel like a significant point in my life. I'm moving to another city soon for a paid internship, my first full-time job.
It's also the first time time I'm gonna live alone in an apartment. I think it'll be strange, but also really nice to have all of that space to myself. I've been living in a college dorm for the past few years, and sharing a kitchen with eight other people has gotten real tiring lately lol
Where were you when you turned 10000? Or what do you want to do to celebrate when you do? I might need some tips lmao
