This is my first ever shortcut, and first ever post on reddit. This shortcut allows you to find out the remaining time until the selected alarm.
There should be a German word for the disappointment you feel when you’re enjoying a podcast from which you learn stuff, then they do an episode about something you actually know a lot about and it’s so horrifically full of errors you realise everything you picked up from previous episodes is probably wrong.
Bonus question: Is the replacement podcast a solid replacement, or does it leave you longing for the good ol’ days of the podcast you moved on from?
Kind of over the true come stuff. Looking for stuff closer to S-Town than serial
The show seemed like it would be a good fit for me. Started at ep 34 and listened all the way through. Skipped ahead 10 eps and couldn’t listen past the noise of everyone talking/riffing jokes literally as they were trying to tell the story. Skipped ahead to ep 55 and in the first five minutes it was the same style so I stopped. I really want to like this podcast because it ticks all my boxes. Does the format settle down at all at say, ep 100 or something?
Edit: Thanks to everyone who gave me the answers. I will definitely try the Jonestown episodes and fast forward. It’s hard to pick an ep based on topic because they cover so much of the stuff I’m into, so getting a specific recommendation is helpful. I don’t mind banter, I love Two Bears One Cave, Two Dope Queens and Small Town Murders
Hey guys! Looking for a podcast that involves IRL supernatural stories. Ghosts, cryptic, strange experiences. Kind of the true crime vibe but for the spooky and unexplained.
Looking for books that give real accounts on beginnings of revolutions and overthrowing the government.
Fiction please ! Good books with angry female main characters, no stereotypes or tropes like “the right man fixes all her problems” please. Thank you :)
My 9 year old is on the last Harry Potter book and has already expressed there will ‘never be books as good!.’ She is a voracious reader. I usually have her read books with strong female protagonists. I’ve heard about Tamara Price books but haven’t read them myself. Any recs for her best series to start out?
​
A few series my daughter has enjoyed- Mysterious Benedict Society, Fablehaven, Wings of Fire, Percy Jackson, Ella Enchanted, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairlyand, Land of Stories, Redwall, Keeper of the Lost Cities.
​
She likes fantasy- the more mythological creatures- especially dragons- the better!
​
Okay with a bit of violence (hello Wings of Fire and Redwall!) but staying away from sex stuff for now.
​
Hit me with your favorite childhood books! Thanks fellow readers!!

As the title suggests, suggest me a book where the plot revolves around time travel like the show Dark did.
Anything that has emotionally scarred you for life or gave you nightmares for quite awhile. For me, it would be “Tender is the Flesh” by Agustina Bazterrica and “1984” by George Orwell.
Hello! I’ve been struggling to find children’s books that frame scars in a positive way. My daughter at 11 months was in an accident and sustained pretty bad burns. She still has (and will always have) have scars from the burn and the subsequent skin graft surgery that she needed.
She’s 2 and a half now and doesn’t remember the accident, but is now becoming increasingly aware of her scars. She’ll touch them and ask questions about them and is becoming aware that other children don’t have scars like she does. I’ve been looking for children’s books that talk about scars and frame them in a healthy way.
She’s a really big fan of the classic story Madelline because she has appendicitis and proudly shows off her appendectomy scar to the other children. It’s subtle, and not really what the entire book is about, but it makes for a special moment while reading together because she’ll smile and we’ll talk about how she …
What was/were the first game/games you played where you thought, this isn’t just a game, this is art? One of those games that gives you a special feeling after completing the game.
Mine are:
What remains of Edith Finch
Oxenfree
Firewatch
Something like Mount and Blade, except you are a weak soldier and not a general who can kill 30 men easily, or something like the old star wars battlefront games where you’re just another soldier who can die as easily as the AI. I just don’t want any game where you’re an one man army such as CoD games
My wife got into Simcity 4 and she hates how limited it is and the lack of mods. Maybe there is a better version of it not created by EA.
Also if she gets a better one I can finally have my Steam account back.
So, imagine that you’re me, and basically had a PC you could mostly play 2d indie games and really easy to run games for a lot of years. But now I’m finally buying a really good PC that can run most, if not all games at least at reccomended quality. What games should I play now that I can run more hardware intensive games? I’m looking more at games with a good campaign/good gameplay than online games to play with friends.
I’m looking for a game that is set in a ghost ship or has a large’ish section about one. By ghost ship I mean a ship of sorts that has been abandoned for unknown reason and you as a player travel around that ship. The game should be somewhat tense and scary but doesn’t have to be fully horror game either. Games that come to mind with similar situations are: Star wars Republic commando, Dead space and subnautica.
