The trope *Record Scratch* *Freeze Frame* can be found in many movies and is all-around a well-known cliché.

On December 19, 2010, "Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III" aired, with the opening sketch having the first known instance of Record Scratch Freeze Frame that was accompanied by The Who song "Baba O'Riley." In the sketch, Emperor Palpatine is thrown into the death star's reactor by Darth Vader, and as he falls, the film stops and he reminisces about his past (seen below, left). This, along with the opening scene of "Premium Rush" (2012) popularized the use of the song in memes later on (seen below, right).

Do u all know gold does not actually belong to earth and it came from outerspecs..

That would also scratch the dopamine itch.

Also, I would be reminded when I posted something that people might not like, and I could go back and see the vibrations happening around my comment.

Side note: These guys wouldn’t let me post a post with the word Reddit in it… that seems weird

More specifically I'm curious how people escaped the cycle of perpetual ignorance that people were trapped in during the early years of civilization. Seems odd that anything got done to advance society when pretty much everyone believed all this insane nonsensical stuff.

I hate it

It happens like 50% of the time when we run into each other. It happens for a split second, when I recognise where my eyes wandered and I have to look up/away. It only seems to happen with her. We don't know each other. We don't talk. She's young and I'm in my thirties. She probably notices it. I'm a creepo

How do I stop my damn instinctive eyes?! Please help

I hate it. The end lol

Edit: okay guys thanks for the advice I got it. Always look up/always look down in shame/stare straight ahead, ima try my best tyvm you guys are great, and thanks for the laughs 🤣

AND NO I DONT WANNA GET TO KNOW HER, SHES A STRANGER I JUST WANNA FIX MY INSTINCTS, also why are some people claiming I oggle omg pls

Why are no stores decorating anymore?? Not for Halloween, the winter holidays, anything. Since the height of the pandemic, stores, shops, and businesses had to close and re-evaluate their spending which I understand. But physical storefronts used to have decorations and happiness and fun. Where has it all gone??

What was the most awkward moment of your life in front of family or friends that you still don't forget.

I want answers more then 50. Let's go

I graduated with a degree in stem and work at a pretty big company, yet my salary is like half of what some of these departments are paying. SFPD is posting on their official instagram that they are understaffed and hiring officers with an average pay of 270000+. What was the point of going to school and putting in all this effort when I could be making that much as a police officer.

i was out of everything one night and just started grabbing whatever i had left in the fridge and pantry. ended up mixing this one random ingredient with something i normally never pair it with, and it actually tasted really good. i tried it again the next day to see if it was a fluke and it still worked. now i keep the two things stocked on purpose even though they do not really go together by normal standards. it's nothing fancy or complicated, just something simple that i would have never thought to try on my own. kind of funny how you stumble on stuff like that when you're not overthinking it.

For me it's washing dishes with no podcast or music on. I used to hate it, and now it's maybe the quietest ten minutes of my day. Curious what other people's version of that is.

I still like giving music recommendations to people so please tell me what you think of my song recommendations. I do not mind if you don’t like them either, I won’t be hurt. I promise

So as the title suggests, I have no friends offline. The reason could be that I take friendships too seriously and care for my friends a lot. So what happens is, I want the other person to take the friendship as seriously as I take it and care for me as much as I care for them. But this never happens. I am always available and perhaps this makes them take me for granted. I love to help so I help everybody but don't consider anyone my friend. Many people talk to me though but we just are not friends. Another reason is that I am always the quiet and introverted type and I feel way too much, I can't really talk to anyone offline, but online I talk a lot. With online friendships, people disappear, ghost you or just lose interested and that is normal. So yes I never had any friends. And nobody really gets me, it's like I am slightly different and that can be annoying. I also have a very strict definition of friendship where understanding and care is very important and I never really found it. Also I don't go out so that could be another reason. What do you think about this?

All I've been feeling for the past two days is persistent dizziness that gets worse with fast movement lol. I've been trying to rest, but I don't know how to help the dizziness, because I still have a life I need to manage and live 😭

I just need tips lol.

Life is uncomfortable, for sure. Like a brand-new pair of sneakers. Those cool new Adidas that you’ve seen people all over the world wearing right now. I’m talking about the ultra-hyped ones. Perhaps, and most certainly, they’re worn by people way younger than you, but nevertheless, you wanted them, and you’re gonna have them now.

But when they arrive and you try them on, they’re everything but comfortable. On the box and on the shoes, it says they’re your exact size, yet they feel like shitty, rough cardboard. You tell yourself they’ll be like that at the beginning, but they’ll fix themselves as you wear them. Like in real life, problems sometimes fade away. But it will need some priceless time. Then that time frame passes, and they get fixed. Miraculously! They become comfortable, just like life itself.

But, and this is a huge but, time has passed. You’ve grown old somehow. You feel comfy, but the shoes are so worn out that you’ll need a new pair now. Like in real life!? Fuck no, I say!

Life goes on. When you feel the discomfort creeping in, you have to change. How!? The hell do I know?! You just do, like a man. Swallow the discomfort and move the fuck on. Like when you have some trouble with a brand-new pair of shoes. Just like that.

Or perhaps, when they start feeling uncomfortable, you pick a pair that just fits right from the get-go. But life, well, life will have its ups and downs, and it will be uncomfortable, for sure, every now and then.

The moral of the story: you’ll have to make a choice. Inevitably, there is no right or wrong one, but a choice nonetheless. And at the end of the day, you’ll have to live with the consequences of your choices.

Live your life.

Its a girl and she days: One day you're going to meet a man that is not your type, but he's going to be so nice and he's going to treat you right from the get-go. And you think to yourself, "I'm going to give him a chance." Do not do that. Keep walking.

What is the logic behind

does your reaction slow down as you age? n how it feel playing the game that u used to be good at, only to realize u cant compete with younger player. do u quit n stop playing?

My husband has spent the past couple years learning Chess because he really likes strategy games and he's been struggling with the chess.com app for months because he has his good days and bad days. I used to play chess a lot but board games turn me into a competitive person who goes a little insane over stuff that really isn't a big deal, so I've been keeping him company while he plays.

Today he brought his chess score up from 1060 to 1170 in the span of TWO HOURS and honestly I'm amazed. It's obvious he's been practicing a lot and he showed me that in 20 games he was 17 wins 3 losses!!! I'm so proud of him and he's really so smart and I'm glad he's finally seeing the results of his practice.

Do y'all have anything you've been practicing lately? New skills you've been trying to learn? I am just starting to learn crochet but it's gonna take forever because I have bad hand eye coordination and rheumatoid arthritis.

Is there anyone who is up noww lets talk you can share whatever u want or any casual topic to talk about anything means anything....i will not judge u in any manner

I'm 22yrs(M) old currently and I deep down, always remain in a search of conversation that oscillates around the moral depth of life and also the delightful part where we could have conversations on any random thing. But each word, each sentence tends to make the bond deeper and I tend to remember whatever the person says no matter how minute it is. A good conversation is like a good memory can happen anytime, anywhere. How about we start right now?

Your daily schedule, your weekdays vs. weekends, and do you have a routine or more flexible schedule, etc.?

I ask this because I’m staying with family this week out of state, and their daily routine looks vastly different from mine. Not in a bad way, but much more structured, “full”, and active.

They’re also a lot more social, and schedule time with friends and group activities more frequently, even with their full days.

I find myself wanting to take a pause, or sleep in late some days, but I know that’s because my routine at home is less interactive, repetitive, and “go, go, go”.

What does a normal week look like in your world?

I keep looking around even on the Arabic sub reddits but very hard to find a community for Arabic speakers. I miss to speak this language as I live far from my land.

I just dreamt that I had a daughter. I found her abandoned in the street all by herself. She was 12, and her name was Hailey. She had curly blonde hair and she was really sweet. I took her back home and made sure she ate, showered, and went to bed on time. I was sewing a quilted pillow for her, and I asked her if she wanted to spend time in my room and talk for a while. I told her I go to bed at 10, and she said she’d be up later than that. Since I hadn’t enrolled her in school yet, I said I was ok with that as long as she only stayed up for an hour or two longer. Then I woke up. I know she wasn’t real, but I miss her a lot. I just kept checking on her to make sure she was ok, and she was acting kind of annoyed by how much I cared. I loved that part of it. I’ve dreamt about being a mother many times, but nothing like this. It really stuck with me. I’m only 20 right now, so that dream will hopefully become a reality someday.

I usually don't have that much interaction. But I want to improve my socializing skills. So let's chat. I will start with a random question. How are you doing nowadays?

Por ejemplo yo para hacer mis cosas en el baño me tengo que desnudar, aún si es en un baño público.

Es como si mi cuerpo no pudiese botar todo si trae ropa puesta.

En el trabajo es igUal y me tardo un montón, sobre todo en invierno.

Lo otro que hago es que cuando me.baño me pongo a limpiar la ducha, salgo y limpio el lavamanos, la taza, etc, desnuda obvio porque si no no hay inspiración.

A alguien más le pasa así o tienen alguna costumbre extraña en el baño?

i keep this jacket in the back of the closet, and it has been years since i put it on. the sleeves are a little stiff, the color is kind of plain, and it does not really match anything else i own. every time i think about getting rid of it i stop and fold it back up. it is not like i am saving it for special occasions, there just is not a good reason to keep it, but i still do. sometimes i wonder if i am waiting for it to feel right or if i am just used to seeing it there. either way it stays hanging, taking up a little space and collecting dust.
