21 Things Kids These Days Will Never Understand
Recently, u/Hidden_lust__ asked r/AskReddit, "What's something kids today will never understand?" And we thought we'd share some of the top responses. "Going into a phone booth, especially when you're a kid, just to jiggle the coin return in hopes of scoring a nickel or dime so you can buy some candy. My cousin Brenda beat me to a phone booth at the beach & got $1.15. She was the first rich person I ever knew." "Spending hours curating the perfect mix CD — carefully choosing the songs, getting the order just right, and writing the track list in Sharpie like it was a love letter. If someone made you a burned CD… That was real love." "Limewire. God, I gave one of my laptops a wild amount of viruses with it but I got to listen to Simple Plan on my mp3 player, so it was all worth it." "Renting a VHS from Blockbuster." "Performing surgery on a cassette tape to get it working again." "Dial-up internet: The screechy connection tones, and being kicked off the internet because someone picked up the landline phone." "That weird, magical era where you made plans, kept them, and just showed up — no texts, no tracking, no group chats. Just: 'See you at four' and somehow… everyone did." "Needing to have a quarter (or a dime if you're THAT old) on you just in case you needed to call home with a payphone." "The desperation to get snacks from the kitchen quickly or going to the bathroom fast during a commercial break while watching an episode you waited all week for. Bonus points if your sibling screamed, 'it's back!' when you were still out of the room and you had to run back, lol. "Getting a new phone number every time you moved." "The peace of not having a cell phone." "Actually knowing phone numbers. Like your parents number, the numbers of several friends... Shit, I still know some of those numbers even today." "That sacred moment when your favourite song came on the radio, and you had to run to hit 'record' on the cassette player, hoping no one spoke over the intro." "How before Google you had to look through an encyclopedia in the library or in a large home collection and possibly spend hours looking, only to still not find what you're searching for. Yes, back then, if your parents and/or teachers didn't know the answer to something, and you couldn't find it in the library, then you really had no idea how to figure it out then." "The Dewey decimal system and the physical card catalogue at the library." "How exciting it was when Pong was invented. We could interact with the square ball on the TV! It was incredible! Being able to control the paddle (in that ever exciting up and down thing it did, lol) just seemed to be so futuristic." "We were really poor growing up and couldn't afford to buy VHS tapes so my parents would tape Wonderful World of Disney every Saturday night." "Playing outside all day and inventing your own games, using your imagination and without needing money." "People smoking literally everywhere. Airplanes, restaurants, hotels, even hospitals. So much that old technology like typewriters or radios are still often covered in nicotine residue when you find them. It's so rare now that when I come across a smoker, I can't get past the stench." "Blowing into a game cartridge like your life depended on it, praying it would finally load so you could play Mario before your sibling claimed the TV." "When I was a kid, if one of my parents was expecting an important phone call, it meant I wasn't allowed to use the internet." H/T to u/Hidden_lust__ and r/AskReddit for having the discussion! Any more to add? Let us know in the comments below!

People Discuss If US Presidents Should Be Under 65
In the United States, the past three presidents sworn into office have a combined age of 226. There's a minimum age requirement to serve as US president (35 years old), but no maximum age requirement. On the always conversational r/AskReddit, Reddit user u/CountyOpposite7622 asked fellow Americans: Would limiting the age of the President to 65 be something you'd support? Why or why not? Here are some of the answers about a topic that is more split than you'd think: "Yes, if there is a young age limit, then an older one is justified as well." "I'd support age limits for all politicians. Asking someone to live a while in the world they create is a fair ask, in my opinion." "Politicians collecting social security have no business in Congress, the White House, etc." "Why are we letting folks who can die from a strong breeze knocking them over run the country?" "I think Americans need to ask themselves: Why are American politicians generally so old? Most of the world doesn't have maximum age limits either, yet older people in politics are much rarer elsewhere. Why?" "Mitch McConnell has been a Kentucky senator since 1985; he's had power longer than I've been alive." "Add in 20-year limits on Supreme Court and Federal judge appointments. Lifetime appointments are ridiculous. As far as an age limit on legislators, I agree for the most part, but Sanders makes me question it. He seems to grasp the moment better than many Democrats in Congress who are 30 years his junior." "There is a minimum, so a maximum makes sense. 35-70 seems reasonable. A 70-year-old running for election would finish the term at 74, maybe 75, depending on the time of their birthday, of course. Just for discussion's sake." "Considering Congress limits my profession to age 65, I'd love for that to be an age cap for ALL federal elected officials as well." "Without some sort of test for competency, it doesn't matter where you set the age limit." "Actual fossils running our government." "We've been stuck in a generational loop with presidents." "The US Constitution technically has a provision to remove a mentally incompetent president from office. It's just never been used before for a whole host of reasons. An age limit would at least help." "There is a minimum because the founders wanted life experience to be a factor. There's enough time for somebody to learn and understand how things work when it comes to people and management. I'm OK with the way things are. I like freedom, but I also appreciate having some structure within it. Let's say we eliminate the 35-year-old minimum, which would now allow a 10-year-old to be elected to the presidency. Probably not a smart move, but hopefully society isn't that silly." "I know plenty of 70-year-olds that I think would be perfectly competent to be president, and plenty of 40-year-olds I wouldn't trust to watch paint dry." "Maybe tie it in with a driver's test. If they can't be mentally or physically competent enough to make decisions while in a car, I don't want them behind the wheel of a country either." "I think 75 by election day is fair. I work in healthcare, and people over 65 should have an opportunity to be represented because they have a drastically different set of needs than people who are 55. " "I would probably say 65 when their term starts or 70 when it ends. Doing the job right is extremely stressful, and very few older folks can sustain that. I would also put caps on Congress: 75 years old at the end of their term." "100%. We need presidents who still have enough life left to actually face the consequences of their choices in office. That way they'll have incentive to do good." "Nope. The world does not need more techbro billionaires in politics. CEOs in general make awful politicians." "Use cognitive tests for metrics that matter. Do not use age solely because it's correlated with older age. Person A can be sharp as a tack at 85, person B can develop early-onset dementia at 63." "The House, Senate, Supreme Court, and president should all top out at 50, not because of any issues of mental competency. It's because you should be forced to live in the world you built after you leave office. So many octogenarian freaks are fine with passing sociopathic legislation because they're expecting to croak in the next three or four years. If it's guaranteed that you actually have to suffer the fallout of your actions for 20 or 30 years, then you might be more likely to pass legislation that won't kill all of us in 10." "No, because not all old people are senile." "Yes, and I would also pay a ham sandwich or five to see a Constitutional amendment limiting all federally elected officials to either two consecutive 4-year terms or a single 6-year term to ensure they aren't constantly campaigning." "I find it shocking how many people in the US government are over 70, at least at the higher level. I actually supported Biden for his polices, but not as a person because of his age. He was in his late 70s to mid-80s. WTF is he doing, trying to run for president again? Yeah, for sure, an age limit. I'd rather have someone who's mentally and physically alert and active enough to do the job. 65 is the retirement age, which should be the cutoff. Or like 67 or 68. Though older people can be mentally alert and aware, it's clear at that age that it goes down." "Absolutely. There is no reason we retire pilots flying commercially, and even in the military. The president is the Commander-in-Chief. 65 years old tops." "I'm not really in favor of limits like this, but also, it takes an unhinged person to, at 65, say 'I'd like to run for office,' let alone for POTUS." "No. Different people age at different rates, so it doesn't make sense to disallow someone in their mid-60s who is still sharp from being president. Also, we the people are responsible for voting for decent candidates. It's our fault that so many of us are dumbass Trump supporters." "You can't be the president if you're under 35. Nobody seems to have a problem with that. I sure don't. A 30-year window of eligibility makes pretty good sense to me. The person leading this country should be in their prime, and not someone whose mental faculties are potentially compromised by their advanced age." What do you think of a presidential age limit of 65? Comment below.

21 Subtle Signs Someone Is Secretly Rich, But Hiding It
A few weeks ago, I was scrolling when I came across a post from user Againmrbrown on the popular Ask Reddit page asking, "What's a subtle sign someone is rich but hiding it?" and naturally, my curiosity was piqued. I thought the answers were fun enough to share, so here are some of the best: "'Are you rich?' 'Well, we are comfortable.'" "Dressed like Adam Sandler." "The lack of fucks given." "I used to teach English abroad. In one class we were doing our introductions, telling everyone our names and what we do. One guy introduced himself, and the whole class drew breath after he said his last name. Turns out he owned one of the biggest construction companies in the country. Guy carried a shabby briefcase and drove a beat-up RAV4. You couldn't tell he was loaded at all. My kind of guy." "I used to work with a guy who turned up late on his very first day. It was 1:30 in the afternoon when he arrived and said, 'To be fair, I'm the first person in my family to have a job in 500 years.'" "They can complain about costs, but it never stops them from doing necessary work or updating things. If you pay attention, you can notice who actually is stopped by barriers to purchasing things or buying services." "I used to work for Mercedes and Audi. The people who buy $150k cars outright are the ones who come in wearing almost-scruffy clothes. The people who come in wearing suits or chinos and sunglasses and Rolexes? They're not buying anything expensive." "The richest person I have ever met drove a 1999 Mercury and dressed like he delivers pizzas. He owns large apartment buildings around the country and works higher up at a large bank for his day job. Bought a $2 million house in cash and let it sit for two years while he did another $2 million of renovations, but looking at him, he's just a regular guy, no fancy clothes or 'I'm better than you' attitude. His favorite restaurant is Chili's, if that tells you anything." "They always prefer to spend money rather than time. I was waiting in line for a music festival with a friend. A festival we already had tickets to. He realized that the 'preferred' line was empty. So he straight up bought everyone in our crew preferred tickets, just so we could jump the line. That was, like, the only advantage. We literally all ended up with two tickets, because he didn't want to wait 20 minutes." "Wearing nameless clothes, no flashy brands or vending machine-style jewellery. You'll never hear them talking about money; if you do, they'll never remark about how much they have or earn, and if they're a stranger, they will probably lie about their job to keep you from suspecting them of having money." "Nice teeth and nice shoes. They also don't talk about money." "No debt. They buy stuff as they need it, without having to wait until payday or save up. Having money provides a degree of spontaneity that us non-rich can't grasp." "I've cooked for a lot of rich people. There's a big difference between people who grew up rich (were born into money) versus the people who made something for themselves." "Both are generally not going to be overly flashy if they're actually rich. People who are born into money usually don't realize that most of the world is struggling, so they'll talk about their multiple homes, travel, and other expensive experiences as if it's normal conversation, and like you should be able to relate. Most likely, they grew up sheltered and detached from reality. I've noticed these people are pretty socially awkward and don't have a lot of genuine friends in their lives, so they'll be REALLY tight with their immediate family. They'll have some flashy things, but it'll be silly expenses — a dumb sculpture, spending ridiculous amounts of money on their dog, a drug addiction, etc." "The people who earn their money are usually aware of the difference between them and most of the world. They can even still hold onto frugal tendencies. So it'll be more subtle clues: jewelry (on a woman, look at their ring), name brand or designer clothes, bags, sunglasses, how their hair, teeth, and skin look perfect, what kind of car they drive…" "When their 'old' clothes still look better than your brand new ones." "No cellphone case." "Their children are living in an expensive apartment, traveling a lot, have expensive hobbies, maybe even a severe coke habit. First generation rich are usually humble and not flashy, but that's very rare with subsequent generations." "They've got a certain ease in their attitude, never worrying about money or showing off, making decisions right then and there and not worrying about how to pay." "Having an extremely curated aesthetic and going away on trips with family more than once a year." "What's a big tell? How much someone spends on their hobbies." "They keep a Modigliani in the bathroom. (This happened to me: my partner, who was an art history major, commented after we left a very modest apartment that there was a Modigliani in the bathroom.)" And finally: "You can never really tell. There are fancy people who are rich and there are people who try to be fancy but are living in debt. There are people who look like crap who are filthy rich, and there are people who look like crap who are poor. Some rich people are humble, and others are assholes; you can never really tell unless you have access to their bank accounts." Tell me all your thoughts in the comments below. Or, if you have your own anecdote to add, feel free to leave that too! I love hearing what you have to say.

31 Horrifying Facts I Learned Against My Will And Now You Have To Suffer With Me
Fun facts should be entertaining, but some are downright disturbing. On the popular subreddit r/AskReddit, Reddit user u/MaterialRub675 asked people: What's a disturbing fact you wish you could unlearn? Some of these answers made me feel like I watched that cursed video in The Ring, and now all these facts will happen to me in the coming week. Read at your own risk: 1."We got a dog that had heartworms. They got treated and are doing perfectly fine now. The thing is, it prompted me to look into them. They're spread by mosquitoes and can live in most large mammals. Huh... So, what stops humans from getting them? Nothing. The answer is nothing. They just aren't harmful to humans because they can't breed properly in us. You and I might have a few right now... And that goes for most parasitic worms, btw." —u/summonsays 2."A dingo really did eat that woman's baby, and everyone still just makes fun of her to this day. Put your phone down and sit in silence for thirty seconds while you imagine what it would be like to: 1) be eaten alive by a dingo, and 2) find out what happened to your baby, have nobody believe you, and become an international laughingstock. What the f*ck, guys." —u/Dykeout 3."Scurvy makes scars reopen." —u/order66me Related: 4."When I had open heart surgery nearly 20 years ago at age 28, the doctors placed 'pacer' wires in my heart just in case they needed to stimulate my heart electrically after the surgery (my words, not theirs). So I wake up and find two yellow copper electrical wires protruding from my torso. Later that day, the nurse came to remove them. This is done by simply tugging until they come free from small hooks or barbs on the end of the heart wall. The nurse warned me that I'd feel my heart physically pull down in my body. She was not kidding. It was unpleasant, to say the least. But now, years later, I literally can't forget what it feels like to have someone tug on my heartstrings." —u/daveescaped 5."Dominant female meerkats will kill the pups of subordinate female meerkats, then force the subordinate females to feed their babies as 'tribute' or 'rent' to be allowed to remain in the group. That shit is hardcore af." —u/pyroskunkz 6."The whistle of an artillery or mortar shell falling towards you is actually the deviation from its trajectory and where you're currently standing. The closer you are to where it'll land, the less you hear. If it's a direct hit, you won't hear anything at all." —u/Gr0zzz 7."Children under the age of five try to hide from fires and not run from them." —u/user 8."There's a condition called Cotard's Delusion, where a person genuinely believes they're dead, like fully dead, but their body just hasn't noticed yet. Some even stop eating or ask to be buried. The mind is terrifying when it breaks." —u/LinaBreezeOh 9."Everything about rabies, especially the fact that once symptoms show, it's already too late." —u/WormWithKnowledge 10."It was believed for a long time that babies do not feel pain and no anesthesia is required when a surgery is performed. This only started to change in the late 1980s after the mom of an infant who underwent open heart surgery without anesthesia started a campaign to raise awareness. Whenever I think of it and imagine those poor babies who had to go through excruciating pain with a muscle relaxant that prevented them from moving and fighting back, on top of that...I'm in tears. I don't understand how medical professionals could have subjected them to such horror." —u/otis91 11."Centipedes let their young feed on their bodies and die while the babies just have a feast on their mother's corpse." —u/PreparationAlive9435 Related: 12."People don't die immediately when you cut their throat like in the movies." —u/kadir7 13."Lots of creatures eat their newborn if there isn't enough resources to go around. At age twelve, I learned this by discovering the small, half-severed pink bodies of hamster pups while changing their mom's cage litter. Apparently, she wasn't just a cuddly, soft, huggable ball of fur." —u/kravechocolate 14."Once I read that as a research project, someone put a fake turtle in the road to observe driver behavior, and something like 6% of people deliberately went out of their way to hit the turtle." —u/Academic_Dream_5569 15."The youngest mother ever confirmed was four years old when she got pregnant and five when she gave birth." —u/Moritani 16."When the Soviet Union launched the street dog Laika into space before launching a man, they had no intention of bringing the pup home alive. Although they provided food and water, they hadn't planned for her to return to Earth. She lived a few hours and likely died from heat-related stress. The capsule orbited for a few weeks until our atmosphere and gravity dragged it back in, burning up during re-entry. This has always been a sad story to me since the day I learned it long ago." —u/OGrinderBoy Related: 17."The number of women who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to domestic violence is estimated to be 11-12 times greater than the number of TBIs experienced by all military personnel and athletes combined." —u/SkydivingAstronaut 18."How much of modern medicine relies on a hunch or trial and error. Before I worked in a hospital, I used to think doctors knew everything and that curing illness was straightforward. That will apply to some diseases, but there are many more that are vague, and treatment isn't well established or doesn't always respond as expected. Makes you afraid to get sick after a while." —u/Three_hrs_later 19."Untreated dental infections can lead to abscesses on the brain that result in a brain injury. A 40-year-old guy went from bad teeth to paraplegia and brain injury, from living a normal life into a group home on government benefits." —u/the_town_bike 20."Most of the Challenger crew were conscious for the entire 2-minute fall back to earth; they even put on their emergency oxygen masks..." —u/vinny876 21."Basically, every scene in movies where someone dies in lava is wrong. Your body is 80% water, and molten magma or lava is just rock that's so hot that it's in a liquid state. Rock is a lot denser than water, even in a liquid state so that you wouldn't sink into it: your body would float on the surface of the lava, burning to a crisp while you scream in agony. It might be even worse, given that when water (i.e., the water in every one of your cells) is suddenly exposed to extreme temperatures all at once, it instantly boils. If that exposure is fast enough, it boils explosively. And since your body isn't a perfect sphere being exposed to the +800 °C lava all at the same time, what (might) happen could be parts of your body exploding and popping as little steam explosions rupture your burned skin as you burn alive, floating on the superheated rock smoothie." —u/Rekthor 22."There is a kind of tumor (Teratoma) that can have hair, teeth, and even eye tissue." —u/TheBassMeister "I see you've met my ex." —u/midnightsunofabitch 23."How bad a decomposed body smells." —u/UnfilteredLan 24."All the foods that make me feel good are killing my body.

It turns out they are diamonds, which are 'stray' skin cells that are growing where skin shouldn't. That's not the worst part. There's a hair growing out of one of the cells. My puppy's eyeball is growing hair." —u/mitchade 29."According to organizations like the International Labour Organization and the Walk Free Foundation, an estimated 28 million people are living in modern slavery, including forced labor, human trafficking, debt bondage, and forced marriage.
