    What do you think about recent Ranveer IGL controversy?

    The question was, and keep in mind that this is a 'dark jokes' platform: 'Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day or join in once and have it stop?' Why is everyone confounding this with AIB? AIB's dissolution had nothing to do with the infamous Bollywood roast they had, as...

    What do you think about recent Ranveer IGL controversy?

    It's totally manufactured. To paraphrase another quote, worse things have been said by better people. Not to mention of course the vile things the anchors (and "debate" panelists) of today spout in the name of "news". And I think this community would be better served by giving it the exact...

    Reddit confirms an incoming paywall will be released later this year

    Do they charge "news" sites when the report Reddit comments as news? Cuz that's potentially their biggest revenue generator. XD

    Are Wearable Health Apps Overhyped? New Study Says Yes!

    They tried to gamify health and I guess that works for some people? I've seen people boast about steps and whatever other metrics these apps give them. Tho honestly, these are also the type of people who would go out and work out or exercise otherwise anyway. So basically it only helps those who...

    IKEA is coming soon to Delhi.

    This is true but local networks/asking your neighbours will get you information about the good ones. And yah the good ones will be expensive but then you will see a commensurate increase in the the quality of both the workmanship and the materials used. Add to that the endless customisations you...

    IKEA is coming soon to Delhi.

    Yah I too saw a post on Insta I think. Though I wonder about the USP. In the US it's known for cheap but reliable furniture. From what I have heard about the Bengaluru outlet (or wherever the current store is) it's expensive. Not sure about the reliable part. Anyway might be a good place to...

    Meta's Layoffs: Performance-Based Cuts or Just Bad Timing?

    Oh damn didn't even notice this. Do posts in this section count towards the ThreadStorm Wars? Is that why the spam? Edit: Nevermind, apparently OP is a news bot

    Toonsutra: India's Webtoon Revolution in Local Languages

    This may be coming slightly out of syllabus but from what I have seen, over the past few years, the fear of the 'other' is causing countries and people worldwide to withdraw into themselves. People now want basically clones of themselves around them. While yes, 'man is a social animal' and wants...

    Spectacled bikers! How do you avoid fogging up your glasses in the winter?

    Wow, this is a great solution! But in my case, I commute to work on my bike so kinda inconvenient to tape up every morning and evening. Plus don't want another recurring expense. XD I can see the appeal for weekend or even longer rides tho. I've actually been looking for some kind of nose clamp...

    FS: Others Gamesir G7SE Hall Effect Controller within Warrenty

    Sorry for OT but how did a Hall effect controller get a drift issue? Is my understanding wrong or isn't one of the selling points of a Hall effect controller that it eliminates drift?

    What new will Budget 2025 bring for us?

    I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that if your household (not individual, mind you, entire household) income was more than Rs. 1 lakh a month, that puts you in the top 0.2% of income earners in India. Another study also said if you earn more than 25K monthly, you are in top 10%...

    What new will Budget 2025 bring for us?

    12.75 is including the (new) standard deduction of 75K. So if you have 12.75L as your gross annual income, minus the 75K SD makes it 12L which is where the rebate kicks in. Even 1 rupee more than that, i.e. even 1 rupee more than 12.75L, and you have to pay tax on the whole amount, as per the...

    What new will Budget 2025 bring for us?

    True I guess. But we really need a shot in the arm because the whole country is dejected and just going through the motions with no real hope for the future. Or so I feel. Maybe it's just the "news" I consume; as far as Insta posts and Reddit headlines can be called news. Net net, we need some...

    What new will Budget 2025 bring for us?

    Rumours of some tax relief for those paying income tax have been floating around for the past few days. Some revision of brackets hopefully. Much needed but I believe highly unlikely to happen. If only this were an election year.

    Guide Suggestions for Ergonomic Chair.

    Please get this checked with a spine specialist. Speaking from experience, these things should not be ignored. At worst, you will spend some money to find out it's nothing.

    The 2025 game release calendar is going to tower over this year with constant major launches

    I was looking forward to Far Cry 7 but rumours are Ubisfot delayed it to next year because they're afraid of GTA6. Valid I guess since that game is set to be prolly the biggest release this year and it's still months away.

    News Liberux Nexx: New Linux smartphone with 32GB RAM, 2TB storage and 5G

    Why do their entire 'Team' section pics look AI generated? Even the title 'Our Professional' seems off... Could this be a scam?
