  @MarioNawfal Very few well-documented cases exist of people getting seriously sick specifically from drinking melted ancient iceberg or glacier water, especially tied to “ancient frozen microbes” or parasites reactivating. The idea makes for dramatic headlines and viral warnings, but real-world evidence is mostly anecdotal, not large-scale outbreaks. Key Insights from Reports • The viral “2-million-year-old glacier water” story: A man supposedly drank it thinking it was pure, and ancient microbes allegedly caused stomach issues (rumbling, potential vomiting or diarrhea). This circulated in late 2025 as a cautionary tale, but details are thin—it’s more clickbait than a verified medical case report. • Celebrity and social media examples: Ludacris drank from an Alaskan glacier pool in 2024 and was fine (glaciologists confirmed surface meltwater on glaciers is often extremely clean, with minimal biological activity posing health risks). Many hikers, tourists, and influencers do the same in places like Alaska, Norway, Iceland, or Antarctica with no reported issues or just mild, short-term stomach upset. • Anecdotal reports: Reddit, Instagram, etc., have scattered stories of diarrhea or “Beaver Fever” (giardiasis) after drinking untreated glacier melt. One hiker claimed a friend needed medical evacuation in Alaska. These are self-reported and not always verified; others drink it regularly without problems. Real Risks (Not Mostly Ancient Microbes) The bigger concerns aren’t dormant prehistoric pathogens waking up at body temperature (that’s largely sci-fi hype, though thawing permafrost raises theoretical long-term worries for ecosystems or rare events). More common issues include: • Modern contaminants: Animal feces (including seabirds, as you mentioned), runoff, bacteria (E. coli), viruses, or parasites like Giardia or Cryptosporidium. These cause giardiasis (“beaver fever”)—diarrhea, cramps, fatigue—which can hit days or weeks later. Glacial silt (“glacial flour”) can also irritate digestion. • Heavy metals or pollutants: Trapped from the atmosphere over time, but risks are generally low for occasional small sips. • Seabird feces: Yes, that adds bacteria and can contaminate coastal icebergs or nearby melt pools. Glaciologists (e.g., in Alaska) often note that fresh surface glacier melt is among the cleanest natural waters you’ll find, especially high up away from wildlife or soil. Deeper or older ice is less studied for direct consumption but doesn’t routinely cause outbreaks.

  As a fan of @robwalling I’m struggling to find across facebook, discord, or reddit groups a burning problem that would make a group of, say, 20–30 people say, "Yes, build that app! it will solve our problems."

  @LikeASherwin Oof that's a rough one. The reseating the ram suggestion on the reddit post is a good shout, failing that maybe a complete reset of the gpu drivers might help? This is definitely the main problem with pc gaming though, when something goes wrong it could be literally anything 😭

  Someone ran Claude Code on the reMarkable Paper Pro. The e-ink device, which can only take notes, can’t browse the web, and doesn’t have social media. He logged in via an SSH tunnel, invoked Opus 4.8, and typed the line on the paper screen: “hello reddit, this is an SSH terminal running on rmpp.” Over the years, e-ink screens have been criticized more than once: too slow, with a lot of lag and image retention, not suitable for serious work. But Claude himself thinks in words, in letters — you look at the screen, and it spits out words one by one, as if you were turning the pages of a book, slowly but legibly. It is this “too slow” flaw, superimposed on the rhythm of AI, that turns into a soft immersion. And another advantage of this screen is that you can look at it for an hour and your eyes won’t get tired. It quietly glows on your desk, doesn’t pop up with notifications, doesn’t jump with ads, there’s no blinking cursor or distracting tabs — just the cursor moving, the agent writing code, and you watching it do it. The device itself is very light. The battery lasts for several days. Claude Max can work all night and still have some left over. The entire computer, SSH terminal, AI agent — all of this fits into a device thinner than a laptop, the size of a notepad with a pen. This is perhaps the most intimate home that AI has found this year. Not a GPU farm, not an array of monitors, but a sheet of paper on a coffee table — on which the smartest model writes code word by word, like a pen. Don't worry, it's real. All the features: Claude Code v2.1.162, permission bypass, full Opus reasoning - all of it ran on this e-ink screen.

  i've helped startups get 100+ customers from reddit here's a guide on everything i've learned about marketing your startup on reddit: 1. there are 2 ways to market your startup on reddit: posts and comments 2. if you want to market your startup through posts, you need to find subreddits where your icp hangs out, filter by top posts -> all time, see which types of posts work well and try to replicate them for your brand. there are 2 formats that work well for posts: - long educational posts (how-to guides, personal story backed by numbers, honest breakdowns of mistakes, resource lists, contrarian takes) eg: "i raised $5m, here's what i learned" or "i hit $1m arr, here's how i did it." - offer help. "i'll do this for free, comment your product below". do it only when you can genuinely help 3. if you want to market your startup through comments, you need to find threads where people are discussing problems your product solves. there are 4 ways to find threads: - search for keywords related to your product on google and add site:reddit .com to your query - join subreddits where your icp hangs out, open reddit once or twice a day, check posts that appear in your feed and if they're relevant comment on them - join subreddits where your icp hangs out, filter top posts by today/this week/month and comment on relevant posts - the last and easiest way to find relevant threads is go to okara, drop your website url and let it monitor reddit 24/7 for keywords related to your product and write authentic replies 4. whether you market through posts or comments, keep these things in mind so you don't get banned - spend a couple of days/weeks just helping out. upvote posts you like, share thoughts and answer questions. if your account has no karma and you start promoting your product, you’ll get ignored or banned. - when promoting your product in comments, do not post links in your comments - if you comment on too many posts in a short window, you may get banned - if you add value first and only mention your product where it’s relevant (without the link), reddit is fine with it. - not every comment has to be about your product. help people and comment thoughtfully without mentioning your product - follow each subreddit's rules. some subreddits allow self-promotion, some have weekly threads for promotions, and others don't allow it at all

  @charlesarthur @maitlis @TheNewsAgents The sciencey forum I go on is closing down and going (probably) to Reddit. I think was are past the golden age of social media but just didn’t realise how good it was at the time. For all its flaws. At least it keeps me out the pub.

  If someone would take Reddit down for whatever reason, it would be service to humanity.

  Solo founder (on Reddit) hit $2K MRR in 4 months after 2 failed startups. ----- >> His key lessons: - Beta test before launching, fix retention killers early. - Never launch without a waitlist. (I made this mistake many times in the past) - Post consistently on LinkedIn and manually DM interested leads. - Turn sales calls into live onboarding sessions using the customer's real use case. - Build a private community for support and retention. >> Result: 28 paying customers, $2K MRR, and very low churn. Slow, manual growth, but it worked.

  @BennyG10001 @RichardThr16683 He also filed a lawsuit which he had the video up and was constantly giving updates on reddit for a while then randomly he went ghost and stopped talking about It There Is a possibility there was a undisclosed amount that was paid OR his lawyer just told him to take all it down
