I hope everyone is staying well hydrated and taking care of themselves! Have a good week everyone!


MadDocOttoCtrl

Trying not to burst into flames...


CapnBlargles

Ain't that the truth. I haven't even made the kids walk the past 2 days due to how hot it's been.


Broad_Ad_4110

here in NYC and I've been keeping my window wide open and just laughed at the realization that I DO have an air conditioner. May need to crank that bad boy up tomorrow (don't know why I've been suffering in all this heat for last couple of days - and I hear it will get HOTTER!


Square-Mile-Life

It is winter here in the southern hemisphere, so very easy to stay hydrated. In Adelaide today it got to 16C, warm enough for a light jacket.


tripsy11

I'm thinking about moving to the southern hemisphere and I know re-learning which months correspond to which weather is going to be a weird experience!


NordicTheNorse

I'm doing well indeed ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)


Plus-Movie5444

It’s been almost 100 everyday in Chicago. Brutal week to be blue collar


tripsy11

When I realized I don't get hangry, I get thangry my life changed for the better. Keeping me hydrated is no joke ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


DeadStarReborn

Thanks CapN’ 🧑‍✈️


xoxo_L101

Yess, it's sooo hot!!!


CapnBlargles

This weekend is going to be even hotter.


RavishedPsyche

It’s sooooo hot! My kids pool feels like a mini hot tub and it’s just a kiddy pool! Way to warm, please all remember to drink water!


CapnBlargles

The only good thing is that it's not humid today. But it's 99°, so it's not great either.


RavishedPsyche

I feel like I’m melting. My kids don’t wanna go outside so I know it’s too hot.. but yes thank God in heaven for no humidity today with this heat. Otherwise the air conditioning couldn’t keep up!

icecreamricecrispies

Good day everyone! Well, I went to my first job interview in years for an office job ( totally new job for me) yesterday. I feel it went well. I will see what happens when I get that phone call.


May_Louise

Good luck! Hope you get good news


icecreamricecrispies

Thanks, I'm still looking at jobs too:)


glittergirlally

Hello Reddit users of the world! I’ve decided to finally try and post on Reddit. I hope to find communities I can make online friends! Does anyone have any plans for the weekend?😊


MadDocOttoCtrl

A question for anyone who ways to answer: what is something that made you laugh on Reddit in that past week? (In keeping with the nature of this community, keep it family friendly- rated G.)


llamageddon01

Nothing in the week past (I didn’t do much casual redditing) but today I realised [I need to go to Japan](https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingCute/s/1wUZB89NBI). Is there a word for when you’re laughing like a maniac and going ‘awwww’ at the same time because that’s what I did when I saw that picture!


SolariaHues

Probably something on r/cats, some silly pose a lil fuzzballs was doing, or a cat caught in a sneeze... You?


MadDocOttoCtrl

This is going to sound stiff centered, i'm gonna post or comment something funny on Reddit, it has to actually make me laugh when I run across it or while I'm writing it out. I posted something in a *very* zany sub that I pop into once in a blue moon. I visit because I know a bunch of the regulars from when we were all in a much older, even **crazier** sub that no longer exists. [This cracked me up, so I had to share it with the lunatics.](https://imgur.com/a/XAuFVOi)


Broad_Ad_4110

Greetings All! Super excited to be here and (lol after like a year plus) finally finding a subreddit that will help me go from newbe to redditor (I hope!). In keeping with the theme: One of my favorite youtube videos that I stumbled across this week was a discussion on [The Future of Quantum Computing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lum6rdKr4To&list=TLGGQVgc9Jd0zUcxOTA2MjAyNA) - hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson and including Michio Kuku - and some comedians (to keep it light!). But don't worry folks - I have a variety of tastes and been finding subreddit communities that support this variety like r/Columbo and r/ChatGPT and r/whyfiles ....Anyone else wanna share what they are in to?


NordicTheNorse

Good morning and hello to you all :D I'm also new here, and I hope you are all doing well ![img](emote|t5_2r656|13103),

June 18th has been designated [International Picnic Day](https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/international-picnic-day-2024/) so this week, I’m going to ask you what is your number one food item for a group picnic, along with the most unusual thing you’d take along. For me, it’s got to be cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches (on granary bread) and real glass wine glasses because I hate plastic cups.


SolariaHues

I can only pick one food item! How to choose... right now I guess I choose a chicken salad sandwich stuffed really full because I am now rather hungry. But carrot cake is up there. Unusual.. I don't know that I would take anything unusual. I might sit on a picnic rug in the garden and take the cats on leads but I wouldn't actually be able to picnic with them without losing my lunch.


llamageddon01

Carrot cake is sooooooo good in picnics.


SolariaHues

It's sooooo good at any time! My fav :)


llamageddon01

When we go on family self-catering holidays I always get the one from [Costco](https://www.reddit.com/r/caloriecount/comments/1cvpcf0/anyone_know_how_much_calories_are_in_a_slice_of/) to take with us because it is awesome.


MadDocOttoCtrl

If there is a grill, burgers & bratwurst, including Impossible/Beyond imitation versions. Most unusual thing, folding recliner lawn chairs. After I stuff my face, few forces on earth will stop NAPTIME.


llamageddon01

Naptime is ✨the best time✨ and I’m still trying to convince my grandson that even a teeny tiny nap can make ✨all✨ the difference.


Confident-Ad-2093

Cucumber and cream cheese Sammy’s? Yum! I love cucumbers!


llamageddon01

Do you leave the skin on? I peel strips off and stand the cuke upright for a while to release some of the moisture but I know some who peel them completely :/


Confident-Ad-2093

For me… it really depends on if they are organic, if I can get the “pesticide look or feel” to wash away. If I can, I like to make stripes down the cucumber! Not for looks, but I like SOME of the peel left on. It may just be in my head that the peel is good for you! I’m not sure! I am going to look it up now! Haha!


llamageddon01

That’s exactly what I do! I love the look of the stripes, and since reading back in the 1980s when I was learning to cook that most of the nutrients in vegetables are just beneath the skin have never peeled anything where the skin is edible. How much of that is truth I can’t say but old habits die hard!


Confident-Ad-2093

Watermelon, salt and napkins. Watermelon without salt is pointless for me! The unusual thing…. Trying to force everyone into a no phone zone while we picnic. I couldn’t think of an unusual item…. So an unusual act will work!


llamageddon01

Definitely works for me! I’m so lucky my kids grew up just before smartphones conquered the world.


Confident-Ad-2093

Oh you are so very lucky! It is such a battle! A battle with them sometimes, a battle with myself trying to teach them healthy habits and also still staying in the “easy on the screen time” path and keep everyone happy while doing so! It can be so helpful and so damaging all at once!


xxLena08

Everyone’s favourite book ?


llamageddon01

Ghostwritten, by David Mitchell, by far. Nine disparate but interconnected tales (and a short coda) examine 21st-century notions of community, causality, catastrophe and fate. Each episode is related in the first person, and set in a different international locale. The gripping first story introduces Quasar, a fanatical Japanese doomsday cultist who's on the run in Okinawa after completing a successful gas attack in a Tokyo subway. The links between Quasar and the novel's next narrator, Satoru Sonada, a teenage jazz aficionado, are tenuous at first. As the plot progresses, however, the connections between narrators become more complex, richly imaginative and thematically suggestive. Key symbols and metaphors repeat, mutating provocatively in new contexts. Innocuous descriptions accrue a subtle but probing irony through repetition; images of wild birds taking flight, luminous night skies and even bloody head wounds implicate and involve Mitchell's characters in an exquisitely choreographed dance of coincidence, connection and fluid, intuitive meanings. Other performers include a corrupt but (literally) haunted Hong Kong lawyer; an unnamed, time-battered Chinese tea-shop proprietress; a nomadic, disembodied intelligence on a voyage of self-discovery through Mongolia; a seductive and wily Russian art thief; a London-based musician, ghostwriter and ne'er-do-well; a brilliant but imperiled Irish physicist; and a loud-mouthed late-night radio-show host who, by befriending a caller unwittingly ushers in global catastrophe.

Hi guys.


jgoja

So, we had thunderstorms yesterday and they are one of my favorite smells. My question is, what is one of your favorite smells?


SolariaHues

This is going to give crazy cat person vibes.. but my cats smell nice. IDK how they manage it though. But, petrichor is nice too. And before it died on me, I used to grow Clematis Fragrant Oberon and it smelled so good!


Broad_Ad_4110

lol as someone who is a crazy cat person.....I have to say....my cats smell pretty good...thanks for encouraging me (with your post) to share what I would have thought to be a little embarrassing ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


SolariaHues

You're welcome, ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile) They're house cats so I guess perhaps they smell like home.. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


Broad_Ad_4110

true - home sweet home


jgoja

It's good that the cats do to you. It makes sense to me. I am not familiar with the other 2 so I will have to look them up.


SolariaHues

Petrichor is that smell after rain.


jgoja

I learned something new. Thank you.


llamageddon01

I’ve turned into a little old lady in my dotage because I realised recently that one of my very favourite smells is lavender, after years of treating it with total disdain as being “old fashioned granny stuff”. I bought a lavender and bergamot pillow spray to spritz around my bedroom and it’s just so relaxing.


jgoja

Lavender is on my list as well


MadDocOttoCtrl

Campfire!


jgoja

That is a good one too. Specially when you are sitting there watching the fire dance


MadDocOttoCtrl

As long as the smoke isn't blowing in your face, it is quite nice. Yesterday we built a fire in our fire pit and made s'mores. It was nice.


xxLena08

Hey all, I accidently made a randon account in the early days that I'm stuck on at the moment. (my normal go to is a theorist called WigWam, which is me. I would like help getting rid of this old account I don't use because it serves no purpouse.

Silent-Two-1844

Happy Thursday y'all! Can we collectively agree it is way way too hot out this week?


CommercialWest5701

Here in Texas we consider this merely "pre-heating". I'm native to my state and I wear a light sweater at all times in summertime. Texans know it's only a few seconds dash from our cars to the door of the business that we are there to patronize and that's actually all the time I spend in the heat, if I have any say in it. What bothers me about the heat is how *cold* ppl keep their homes and businesses Texas! My "highbeams" automatically come "on". It's embarrassing.


Numerous-Ladder-6326

Hi all! I'm a long-time reader but fairly new poster. It seems Reddit won't let me post in Finance or Shopify forums, although I feel I have lots of expertise to offer there! Hope to build my karma so I can start to contribute. My main interest areas are finance, Auslan (Australian sign language), Italy and italian, Shopify, health and nutrition. Nice to meet all of you!

Hi 👋🏻 I hope everyone had a great week and gets to enjoy their weekend. It’s the official start to summer. How did you celebrate the solstice? Stay hydrated & keep cool if you’re in the northern hemisphere like me. We’re breaking heat records in the U.S. it’s crazy humid & hot. Make sure to know the warning signs of heat stress & heat stroke. Stay safe out there & be weather alert at all times. You never know with all the stormy conditions across the country nonstop lately what could happen. Edit* {removed emoticons.}

First of my comments on here! How do u guys find groups u like?


MadDocOttoCtrl

This is just my latest account. When I started it I use the search bar. I would put in a keyword that had something to do with one of my interests. I just kept running through a bunch of keywords and then a bunch of different interests and I found over two dozen groups I had not known about before. I was able to post and comment in those immediately after while I built up some karma and I was able to start getting back into the groups I had participated in before. You can also try out some of the groups from our [list](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/s/3ynHGhKKKc) of ones that are friendly to new users. They have no minimum requirements or very low ones.
