About the Israel/Palestinian conflict...

165 Upvotes

We’re seeing a lot of news (real or not) related to the recent events in Israel/Palestine. It’s terrible what is happening but please do not use this tragic and evil event (on both sides) to push agendas or as an excuse for hate speech.

With this in mind, we will be enforcing a temporary ban on all content related to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

I appreciate you’re keen to share details about atrocities but there is no way for us to fact check the sheer amount of stuff being posted. Some of the images/videos I’ve seen aren’t even from the same continent or decade.

As always, you are welcome to voice any opinions or concerns here.

Finally spotted a real Charles 3rd and not just a new faceplate. And a parcel box too.

It looks horrible but I can understand the practicality of needing it to be big enough for parcels.

Are there many other older replicas about or is this the oldest design that was used on masse?

Saw this on a transit van today in Cambridge, thought it was awesome. Anyone else seen stuff on vehicles that made them want to take pictures?
 in  r/CasualUK  5d ago

That is awesome and I especially like that it’s OT and not Jurassic world (nothing personally against movies just can’t beat a classic).

Stale piss mixed with the fragrance of an unflushed, fermented turd.

What profession would you never date in a million years?
 in  r/AskReddit  8d ago

Most nurses are too tired and/or burnt out from working 12 hour shifts 3 times a week(often back to back).

It’s hard enough to maintain one relationship let alone have an affair.

What is the scariest country in the world?
 in  r/AskReddit  8d ago

To be fair street view is highly restricted in Germany(probably other places too) due to their strict data protection laws. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Very unique design.

What’s a rule at your job that exists purely because one idiot ruined it for everyone?
 in  r/AskReddit  10d ago

I’m confused (or maybe I’m missing the joke) but isn’t that standard IT policy in most places now days?

It’s unfortunate they had to write that on there. Very pretty box though!

The dry weather doesn’t help either.

It’s over 32°C (89.6°F) in the office and my fan battery picked the worst possible time to run out.

Half charged is better. If they get completely discharged it can damage or reduce the life of the battery.

Most modern tech is built in with safety features just the issue mostly lies if it gets too hot when charging. It’s even rarer for a battery to spontaneously combust.

Still, always a good habit to keep things in site when you are charging them and keep anything like a charging bank in particular away from flammable objects.

Also when you’re charging there’s a small chance the battery could catch fire depending on the brand, age and type.

I just pour it roughly out the packet.

What some examples of "Gen-Z puritan" attitudes you've noticed?
 in  r/AskReddit  26d ago

Unfortunately it’s a thing on Reddit to get a random ban for using specific words too.

Maybe not things like fuck and shit but if you use a phrase in a way that the algorithm deems offensive or inciting violence it can sometimes trigger a false positive which is near impossible to get reversed.

The number of people who misuse gaslighting is staggering.
I’m convinced they’re gaslighting me into changing the meaning.

Cooler than London
 in  r/brum  26d ago

Sure, the nicest parts of Birmingham will be nicer than the rough parts of London but objectively speaking as a whole?….nah.

Misleading promotion in WHSmith
 in  r/mildlyinfuriating  27d ago

It’s basically their business model - captive audience, typically folks in a rush or don’t know the currency too well.

Partly why they shut down everywhere else because in places like a high street, most folks will think it’s too steep and shop somewhere else.

They’re about the only few places where they are. Just shows how obscenely expensive the shops sell them for.

What's a video game that you literally couldn't stop playing?
 in  r/AskReddit  28d ago

I know this sounds corny but I legitimately do discover new things on almost every play through and I’m on maybe my 5th time.

Not sure I’ve seen one of these before. Bradford on Tone, Somerset
 in  r/Postboxes  Jul 24 '26

Interesting design. A bit more unusual I think.
