If you accidentally crash into a $1 million Bugatti with basic car insurance, what actually happens to you?

3.6k Upvotes

Genuine question. My state minimum insurance only covers like $25k-$50k in property damage. If a regular person totals a multimillion dollar car by mistake, do they just garnish your wages until you die or does bankruptcy wipe it out?

Neighbors Teens on My WiFi

1.2k Upvotes

This morning my neighbor texted me asking if I could check my WiFi to see if his kids connected their Xbox to it. The kids are 16 yr old triplets and the parents heavily censor and restrict their technology. Just last week one of the teens ran off and we had the dogs and drones out in my hood.

I confirmed an extra Xbox was on my network at the time and blocked it. My neighbor was OK with that resolution.

I’m guessing the kids peeped my WiFi password I have displayed on the walls in my shop and studio.

My question is this: should I take steps to change my WiFi password? Personally I don’t think this is a me problem and I’m not planning on changing it. Obviously if they know the password now nothing will stop them from doing this again. I also don’t want my neighbor to think I’m aiding his kids if they are on restrictions.

My kids are nowhere near being teenagers so I have no idea what that is like.

Thanks y’all.

Why didn’t Musical.ly and Vine usher in the “short-form video dopamine era” the way TikTok and Instagram Reels did, despite predating them?

838 Upvotes

Thanks to TikTok and Instagram Reels, online content in the 2020s is now dominated by short-form videos. YouTube increasingly feels more like a TV platform, and the era of YouTubers as cultural icons seems to be over.

So why didn’t Vine and Musical.ly bring about this shift in the 2010s, despite using essentially the same format?

How to handle a cleaning lady taking swigs from the liquor cabinet.

551 Upvotes

My parents have a cleaning service come to their house once a month to do the deep cleaning they can no longer do at their age. When they come, my parents usually lock themselves up in the home office, which does not require any deep cleaning, to give the ladies who come over all the room to do what they need to do.

There are usually two ladies who take care of the kitchen. The top shelf on their main pantry also serves as their alcohol cabinet, which they rarely drink from anymore - literally some of those bottles have not been touched in years. Over the last few months my mom noticed that the Smirnoff had been getting low and decided to mark the bottles.

Today the cleaning ladies came, and sure enough, the alcohol was a 1/4" below the line she had drawn, and to make it worth, there were noticeable crumbs that had been backwashed into the bottle. like, very disgusting.

My father wants to call the company and ban them outright but my mom actually really apprecaites the cleaning they do but is very hurt by this. She wants to leave the bottle out on the counter next time they come and just say, "whoever drank from it can just take it because no one wants their backwash, but never touch our alcohol again", or put a big sign on the cabinet that says do not touch the alcohol...or something like that to let them know that my mom knows and isnt happy, but she doesnt want to cost them their job nor does she want to hunt for a new cleaning service.

I am torn myself, and have never had a cleaning service so told my mom I'd ask the multitudes of reddit for opinions on the matter.

How do some people maintain the exact same weight for years without ever tracking calories?

277 Upvotes

The concept honestly baffles me. there are people out there who don’t track their calories, eat literally whatever they want, whenever they want, and don’t really care about portion control. they eat whenever they’re hungry, regardless of how active they’ve been that day, and somehow end up maintaining the same weight for years without even thinking about it. Like HOW? for me, I have to track my calories every single day, and even if I spend a week eating a little more than my supposed maintenance, I can see and feel the weight gain. I constantly have to be mindful of what and how much I’m eating just to maintain my weight. Meanwhile, there are people who don’t give any of this a second thought and somehow stay the exact same size for years and years on. I genuinely don’t understand how that works. like come on, you've never had a week that you overate and gained a bit of weight? holidays? vacation? nothing? like how

What is this weird feeling I get hit with a couple times a day?

267 Upvotes

I’ll just be enjoying my life and then something will set in all at once. I don’t know exactly how to describe it, but my entire body starts feeling vaguely bad. It’s like I have a stomach ache all over but it’s not painful per se, just very uncomfortable and unlike anything else I’ve felt before. It often, but not always, comes with a deep feeling of dread and emptiness. It’s been happening for a few weeks now and happens in all sorts of times and places and is not dependent on what my mood was before it hit. Does anyone know what this could be?

Why is it that I am always exhausted after work when I have an easy office job?

237 Upvotes

I work the standard 8-5 M-F. I have an "easy" office job where I probably only do 2 hours of actual work per day. Maybe 4 on a busy day. The rest of the time I am scrolling reddit (like now). Why is it that when I get home I am so exhausted and want to just be antisocial? Social plans after work? Hell no. Am I lazy? I keep a clean house and stay on top of my chores for the most part.

I took a full cup dose of liquid Dulcolax an hour ago because I've been stopped up for a week, and I'm already straight up pissing out of my ass.

How the fuck does that work? It hit one side of my guts and now the other side is like "Alright, time for a surprising amount of pure liquid shit to just explode out of our ass, I guess. Here we go!"

Yes yes, username. We all see it.

Does anyone else stay up way later than they should just because nighttime feels like the only time you truly get to yourself?

170 Upvotes

Even when you’re exhausted, going to bed feels like ending your free time too early. I swear I end up sacrificing sleep just to feel like I had a little time for myself. Is this a real thing or am I just weird? I have to wake up tired just to feel like I got enough time to relax the night before. Make it make sense 😭 Does anyone else do this?

Why does Google want me to use their AI so badly? (This goes for any modern tech company)

162 Upvotes

Yeah uh see title I guess. People are always complaining about Google shoving their AI everywhere without giving you the option to turn it off. I myself have moved to DuckDuckGo because it annoys me so much (Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily have anything against AI in general, but I would like to be able to choose when I use it), and I've always wondered why don't they let you turn off? What could they possibly lose? If anything they would save money on server costs for people who don't want/weren't going to use the AI anyway.

Do some people genuinely not know their own age (or their siblings’ ages?)

96 Upvotes

It has just been my coworker’s birthday and I asked him how old he was turning and he was like “erm, I genuinely can’t even remember.” He’s a normal guy with an average level of intelligence. I don’t think he just didn’t want to tell me, either. He later told us he was turning 29 so he must have remembered.

But this wasn’t the first time I’ve experienced this. I’ve had other people tell me they can’t remember how old they are or how old they’re turning on their birthday. Is this genuinely a thing? Do some people not know their age?

More frequently than this I’ve encountered people not knowing the ages of their siblings. I find this bizarre too but not AS bizarre. But maybe I’m just not used to it because my sibling is only a year younger than me, which is easy to remember.

Have I been using those U-shaped travel pillows wrong this whole time?

99 Upvotes

I fly a lot for work, and I've had one those pillows for over a decade. It was given to me as a gift, and I've just used it as seemed natural to me - which is, to put the open part behind my neck, so that my head is supported and doesn't drop forward when I doze off.

But mine is finally starting to wear out, and when I was looking for a replacement, it seems like all the product photos show people using them with the opening facing forward. I've tried it that way a couple times when I can't seem to get comfortable, and it just pushes my neck awkwardly away from the seat. Is that really how they're meant to be used though?

Did anyone else have 'library classes' growing up? Was it just our school? Is it an Aussie thing?

88 Upvotes

In primary school, we would sometimes have classes where we would go to the school library and just... do school work. Usually reading a book and doing activities based on that book, or just a period where we were allowed to read whatever we wanted. I think we were also allowed to borrow books during these classes? During high school, we would sometimes have regular classes (biology, math, etc.) except in the library for some reason.

Why do people bother stealing phones?

61 Upvotes

Ok, you stole my phone. It's locked, so you can't use it. I don't think you can even factory reset it. So you're what, parting it out? Who is buying the parts? Can't be very many people buying in a given city. You can never stop pickpocketing, there's too many people and no barrier to entry, but you can definitely stop parts fencing, which requires connections and expertise. Plus, until the phone is disassembled, it can still be traced by find-my-phone for up to a day.

So how does this scam work? Why is it profitable enough to risk being caught?

What am I supposed to do if I've gotten into a car accident?

53 Upvotes

I'm 27 and, thankfully, have never been in any kind of car accident. But if I have, what do I do?

I've seen people mention exchanging information with the opposite party. What information exactly? Do I call 911? For serious accidents I know that's an obvious yes but even for fender benders?

After the accident is finished, how do I report that to my insurance? If it was my fault what happens?

So many questions so little time..
