Sometimes, the most useful advice you will ever receive might come from the most unlikely of places.

Be it a random stranger you meet on the bus or in an anonymous online chat room.

Sometimes advice that might seem generic and vague on the surface might help shed light on other areas in your life you didn't even realize you needed help with.

With this in mind, Redditor gaps610 gave the Reddit community an opportunity to help out others by asking:

"What is some completely non-serious random advice you wanna give to your fellow Redditors?"


Unless you want your romance to be literally "fleeting".

"Delete that really long text."- The-Zesty-Man

It's easy enough to dismiss these dubious words of wisdom as nothing more than a little frivolity.

But, best to keep all of them in the back of your mind.

After all, who knows, you never know what doing something as simple as holding the door might lead to.

The Trump Administration Just Canceled Major Funding For Alzheimer's Research Due To 'DEI'—And People Are Beyond Furious

Back in March 2025, it was revealed that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had slashed funding for Alzheimer’s research as part of their purge of all things diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) related.

It was also later revealed that most of the cuts were done by Elon Musk's untrained, unqualified Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel—who couldn't define or describe diversity, equity, or inclusion even after making $16.5 billion of initially listed cuts across 1,127 cancelled or adjusted federal contracts because of "DEI"—using AI filters.

Video Of McDonald's Worker Dropping Food On Floor Before Putting It Back On Tray Sparks Food Safety Debate

We've all heard of the "five-second rule," where when you drop a piece of food on a safe surface, you can still eat it if you've picked it back up within five seconds. Most people won't bat an eye at this when they're at home or with friends, again, if the food is dropped in a safe and clean location, like on a kitchen counter while making a plate.

But a floor really should never be included among the safe and clean surface options, especially when that floor is in a public space, and the five-second rule shouldn't even exist in food service spaces.
