    [–] If you got paid $10,000 per lb. You get one punch, and you have to knock the animal unconscious or dead. What’s the biggest animal you would choose? Ok-but-why-mister 9217 points ago in AskReddit

    Elementary aged human

    Very PC way of saying you'd knock out a kid for $60k

    Edit: Wait no $600k. Damn that's a lot of money. My conscience can quelled for that much. I'll just pick an annoying kid then lol

    [–] More than 20 African countries have joined together in an international mission to plant a massive wall of trees running across the continent.

    You said north but I thought “up” and now I’m wondering how tal those trees are gonna get. Or how tall trees are in general. I need to go outside more.

    Hell yeah! Build! The! Wall!

    [–] What is something unique an ex-girlfriend/boyfriend did that you really miss? Ok-but-why-mister 509 points ago in AskMen

    Lmfao all the other responses are about cute things girls would do and you’re here like “her bed was super comfy”

    I get it though. Had an ex who would make killer banana bread and lasagna. God I miss that.

    [–] Got this tattoo a couple years ago but thought I should share it here!⚯͛ △⃒⃘ Ok-but-why-mister 31 points ago in harrypotter

    Absolutely agree! He told an entire audience of people "Hey, I'm the master of the Elder Wand." I always thought that was just an invitation to be disarmed.

    When they first found out about the Hallows, it's what Ron said people shouldn't do when they get the wand, go around saying "Hey, I've got an unbeatable wand, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!"

    [–] Hagrid’s hut is perfect at Universal Studios Ok-but-why-mister 16 points ago in harrypotter

    I guess I'll be that guy too.

    Hagrid got Norbert in Book 1, not Book 4. The dragons in Book 4 were for the Triwizard Tournament.

    [–] Me and my daughter Ellie planted a tree this evening. Ok-but-why-mister 17 points ago in pics

    This is my favorite subreddit because

    1) I love trees

    2) I just picture some grouchy old guy (like the Pepperdrige Farm Remembers guy) getting mad that r/trees was already taken thinking “that’ll show em” when naming it r/MarijuanaEnthusiasts

    [–] [Serious] People who have heard people's dying last words, what were those words? Ok-but-why-mister 3 points ago in AskReddit

    What an odd request. Did he experience suicide ideation? Or was he more the fatherly type that didn't want you to see him die? Or was he just a smartass who said this after you did something clumsy like spill a drink on yourself? I'm so intrigued.

    [–] What’s a secret your SO still doesn’t know about you, and why have you kept it secret? Ok-but-why-mister 7 points ago in AskReddit

    I have a bunch of siblings so my parents accidentally left us in a quite a few places, but at the highway rest stop? NEVER! My mom had this fear we were going to get kidnapped, stuffed into a truck, and the truck was going to drive far, far away and we'd never be found.

    I'm almost 30 and I'm still scared of getting kidnapped at a highway rest stop.

    As a feminist, it is hard to accept that men are generally physically stronger than women. As someone who is dealing with the trauma of constant harassment and stalker-like behavior, it is excruciating to accept that most men are stronger than me. (self.TwoXChromosomes)

    [–] North Carolina To Hold New Elections for Ninth Congressional District Ok-but-why-mister 6 points ago in politics

    Ah, I see a bright political future ahead of you.

    [–] What's that one product that is completely worth your money? Ok-but-why-mister 99 points ago in AskReddit

    I have four siblings very close in age. “MOM!” was yelled out a lot when we were kids. She did pretty well considering. Anyway, she had a hard rule about not bothering her when she was eating, when she was sleeping, or when she was in the bathroom.

    [–] You are offered $1,000,000 USD if you can hide a pair of car keys from the entirety of the FBI force for 7 days. Where do you hide the keys? Ok-but-why-mister 21 points ago in AskReddit

    Yeah but you’re not mailing a child through USPS

    [–] Molly and Harry Ok-but-why-mister 25 points ago in harrypotter

    In at least two of the books, when the Weasleys take their kids and Harry to the platform, Molly hugs Harry twice. In one Harry thought she did it by accident since she hugged everyone at random. The next year, he realizes she did it on purpose. Molly has so much love to give, and I think she often tries to overcompensate for the lack of parental love in Harry’s life.

    I don’t think Harry realizes how much she loves him. He wondered in OotP, if when Molly and Arthur found out he, Harry, had given the twins the money for the joke shop, whether she would still feel if he was “as good as” her own son. In another occasion, I remember reading “Mrs. Weasley gave him a hug he did not feel he deserved.” Poor kid has been no neglected he thinks he needs to earn hugs.

    Molly truly is amazing.

    In another occasion, when Charlie is showing Hagrid the dragons, Charlie imitates his mom by saying “I thought they had put an age limit. I thought they were all safe!” I always felt that she reacted the same way to Harry’s name coming out of the goblet as any of her other kids’ names. Because by that point, Harry already was, irrevocably, as good as her own.

    [–] Molly and Harry Ok-but-why-mister 17 points ago in harrypotter

    THIS. This is one of my favorite Molly/Harry parts. I love Molly. Her default mode is to give love. She immediately recognized he needed some. She hasn’t even spoken to him, and she’s already protecting him by telling Ginny that no, she can’t go “take a look.”

    [–] It’s called a “portkey” because it is the key to a portal! As an non-native English speaker, I really missed a lot of these word plays. Ok-but-why-mister 6 points ago in harrypotter

    Oh thank goodness! I’ve read the series more times than I can remember, and I was today years old when I realized the word play.

    [–] For those minimum effort wizards Ok-but-why-mister 2 points ago in harrypotter

    Lmao as much as I agree with you, after my little chuckle I remembered the assholes who ride their bikes across campus in between classes on the same walkways where the entire study body is trying to walk. Ugh I hate those. Hogwarts probably banned flying between classes. Can you imagine the chaos?

    Harry James Potter, who had just Accio'd his Firebolt in order to get past the dragon and get the golden egg, didn't think to Accio the Marauder's Map when it fell just out of his reach and was eventually picked up by the impostor Moody. (self.harrypotter)

    [–] My uncle visiting from the Philippines has never seen snow. This is what happened today. Ok-but-why-mister 19 points ago in pics

    I was visiting Seattle on New Year's a few years ago, and it snowed most of the day. Since we were staying just north of the city, we had to drive up while it was still snowing. As a Floridian, I don't know jack shit about driving in the snow.

    Abandoning the car in the freeway was definitely considered.

    I guess the panic part was just implied.

    [–] What are great underused words? Ok-but-why-mister 10 points ago in AskReddit

    YES!!!!! In Spanish, "pasado mañana" and "anteayer" are widely used words. I always thought they were so handy and that English needed to get it together and have equivalents.
