I’ll share mine first.
I had a psych patient one night pile shitty toilet paper next to his toilet overnight. Normally my psych nurse brain would consider this a symptom of disorganized psychosis, EXCEPT!
I remembered an aita post about a conflict between a western OP and his middle eastern roomate trying to figure out why their roommate put their shitty toilet paper in the trash. Turns out many middle eastern toilets can’t handle toilet paper.
Oh and inpatient psychiatry doesn’t provide freestanding hard plastic trashcans (turns out they make great clubs). We gave him one of our freestanding paper bag trashcans and problem solved.
TL;DR; Reddit expanded my cultural knowledge enough to differentiate disorganized psychotic behaviors from a genuine cultural difference. Thanks reddit!
Anyone have any similar examples of positive exchanges of knowledge or culture using reddit?
You tryna start some shit? You realize you are wrong, don’t you? You people are fucking ridiculous. You suck.
What the f did you just effing say about me, you little dumbass? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the MIT, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret techniques on Al-Gebra, and I have over 300 confirmed integrations. I am trained in gorilla mathematics and I’m the top math wiz in the entire set of US computational forces. You are nothing to me but just another equation. I will solve you the f out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my effing definitions. You think you can get away with simplifying that fraction that way over the Internet? Think again, factorial. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of underground mathematicians across the world and your domain is being traced right now so you better prepare for the tangent, maggot. The tangent that wipes out that pathetic little unknown variable you call your life. You’re effing summed, sequence. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can solve you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my pen and paper. Not only am I extensively trained in calculating by hand, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Texas Instruments Calculator Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable x’s off the face of the page, you little inkstain. If only you could have known what unholy differentiation your little “trigonometric” problem was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your exponential range. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn polynomial. I will prove fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re solved, kiddo.
