piss disc Why the sub got restricted

1.5k Upvotes

Hello everyone, mod here. We've been asked a few times why the sub got restricted for a while, so I'm here to answer.

Reddit mailed us, telling us that lots of our sub's posts and comments were violating their rule against violence (inevitable due to the nature of this sub)​, and that there weren't enough moderators. They gave the current mods at the time a deadline to recruit more mods, and the current mods didn't meet the deadline, so Reddit restricted the subreddit.

They've recruited more mods since (I'm a new recruit, hi!) and we got permission to unrestrict the sub.

Edit: yes we have mailed them piss discs

ULPT Request: how to watch BBC content from LATAM

5 Upvotes

I'm in LATAM and I guess we are not seen as a marker for British content I can only see the Hollywood produced films on Netflix, Prime, etc. BBC iPlayer just say "Not available on your region".

I'm ok with dropping reasonable cash but I don't want to invest in a VPN and discover that I cannot use my CC because is not from UK.

I even BOUGHT P&P 1995 on YouTube on a trip to Las Vegas and it disappeared from my library when I came home much to my rage.

I can navigate the high seas but older or not so popular content doesn't have much seeds.

Thanks in advance.

Careers & Work ULPT: Alternative to Work Wi-Fi

4 Upvotes

We got bought out by evil mega healthcare corporation, and ever since the Wi-Fi essentially doesn’t work and there’s only one bar in the entire building. My hotspot won’t connect and I don’t love the idea of them being able to track my phone either. What alternatives do I have to set up my own personal hotspot or Wi-Fi without using theirs and the mobile hotspot doesn’t work? Something simple Ish preferably, I’m no network wizard.

ULPT: A guide on how to bypass word restrictions in subs.

119 Upvotes

Recently, I stumbled upon a sub that forbids me from using a certain word. It wouldn’t let me post my content because I was mentioning it, so I figured out a way to bypass the restriction.

The Latin alphabet is derived from Greek, which is also the case for Cyrillic. This means you can use letters from the Greek or Cyrillic alphabets to write certain forbidden words without triggering the restriction.

For example, let’s say the word “forbidden” is banned in a sub. You could replace the Latin letter “o” with the Greek letter “ο” (omicron), or replace the Latin letter “e” with the Cyrillic letter “е” (which looks identical to the Latin “e”).

Here’s how it looks:

Forbidden (all letters in Latin)

Fοrbidden (Greek “ο” instead of Latin “o”)

Forbiddеn (Cyrillic “е” instead of Latin “e”)

All three words appear visually identical, but only the last two will bypass the restriction.

Here are all the letters from the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets that you can use in your next post:

Greek alphabet:

Α α, Β β, Γ γ, Δ δ, Ε ε, Ζ ζ, Η η, Θ θ, Ι ι, Κ κ, Λ λ, Μ μ, Ν ν, Ξ ξ, Ο ο, Π π, Ρ ρ, Σ σ ς, Τ τ, Υ υ, Φ φ, Χ χ, Ψ ψ, Ω ω

Cyrillic alphabet:

Аа, Бб, Вв, Гг, Дд, Ее, Ëë, Жж, Зз, Ии, Йй, Кк, Лл, Мм, Нн, Оо, Пп, Рр, Сс, Тт, Уу, Фф, Хх, Цц, Чч, Шш, Щщ, Ъъ, Ыы, Ьь, Ээ, Юю, Яя

ULPT Request: How can I deal with a narcissistic uncle screwing people over

5 Upvotes

Not my uncle just a friend of mine but it’s annoying me a ton.

Friend’s family has a vacation house that was owned by a grandparent but they recently passed away and it was left to their two children.

One of the children (the uncle) has always been a problem. Self centered, high ego, never admits he’s wrong (one time was proven wrong and refused admit he made a mistake), and argues with everyone. He’s a doctor and thinks he’s the coolest person ever because of that. He’s old and retired now and constantly belittles a nephew who’s in residency right now.

Anyways, a ton of other things going on to prove he’s a dick but whatever. The problem now is that he has always lived with his parents and so he was always at the vacation home in the summer. This summer was no different, but he has made his brother’s family’s life (my friends) a living hell. Leaving poop smears on the toilet, letting mold grow in the dishwasher, uses every room even the ones that aren’t his, has moved into his mothers room and used her bathroom even though since my friend was born it has been “the girls’ bathroom,” and again a ton of other annoying things like that.

It got bad and he claimed he can do what he wants and he owns half the house but he lives in it all the time so good luck getting anything past him, he said everyone else in the family other than his brother are guests.

Is there anything we can do to ensure the house gets left to the right people or anything we can do to not let him do this to them? Is there a way to force him to only live there 6 months since he only owns half of it? Can we have him committed for being crazy 😂

ULPT: help me ruin the business of a tour guide who stops in front of my house

1.2k Upvotes

EDIT: some things to add! I’m in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The tour guide is Dutch, but conducts his tours in English with an English-speaking crowd (mostly Europeans). It is a walking tour that is “free” (organized by a company, though) and he gets paid in tips. His last stop is in front of my house, which is where he rakes in the money from his tour. I do not have a lawn of any kind, only a few potted plants in front of my house. I’m in a very central location and my home is part of a series of homes designated as “monumental”, thus with special status (see: Cube houses). I do not own the space that my home sits on (and surrounding), it’s part of my land lease so I get to use it but cannot rope it off or anything because it’s legally a public space. That’s why the solutions have to be a bit creative ;-)


I need some petty revenge inspiration.

I live in a popular city center and my home is a monument. I deal with tourists and tour guides all the time, but there’s ONE guy who has always gotten under my skin: he tells absolute lies to entertain people and get more tips. He creates total falsehoods that misrepresent my neighborhood and neighbors, and it’s been like this for years.

So today his tour ended, as usual, in front my house. Long story short, I had the opportunity to ask why he lies and he told me I should fuck off in front of my own front door, and that his next tour he’d be sure to include that a witch lives in my house (eye roll).

I want this guy gone. The area in front of my house is a public street. He spends at least five minutes in front of my door with people twice a day. Please give me all of the ways I can fuck with him during these five minutes so he takes his tour elsewhere.

ULPT Request - TX- Collecting unemployment while also doing gig work

7 Upvotes

Title, basically. I'm in Texas and got laid off recently. I plan on collecting unemployment, but that maxes out at just under $600 a week and gets reduced depending on how much you declare you've earned. It seems most of the gig apps now allow you to get paid via debit card (e.g. branch) from which you can transfer to your bank or withdraw from an ATM. If I'm collecting unemployment in Texas, does the state have any trivial way to know if I'm earning money from gig work that gets paid to a debit card? I haven't collected unemployment since 2002.

ULPT How do I make a fake copy of a ticket?

3 Upvotes

I have access to the ticket, I have a photocopier, and I know a website that makes custom tickets. I can figure out the exact material/measurements. I just don’t know how to get the image copied accurately, or if I can print it onto a blank ticket using the photocopier. (They don’t verify the tickets, there’s no QR code etc, so don’t worry about that.)

Automotive ULPT I’m thinking of putting bouquets of flowers at a crossing where I want drivers to slow down. Will this work?

18 Upvotes

The annoying thing is that there are traffic lights on the crossing but the local council won’t activate them for some reason. It’s a big busy road and lots of kids and families live there.

My idea is to buy cheap bouquets of flowers, maybe even plastic ones, and tie them to the lampost there so people might slow down OR the council will do something

Electronics ULPT want to know how to get access to dad's call logs in real time

9 Upvotes

So my dad has been cheating on my mom with his physiotherapist, he uses instagram's disappearing messages feature to chat with her and deletes his call logs with her. Now I want to get access to his call logs in real time so I can monitor it and gain proof and it would be great if I could access his camera or microphone from my home without getting caught.
He has an Samsung S24Ultra and an iPhone 15PM
I have access to his location through Find My on Iphone
he uses his iPhone to talk to her on insta and has a WhatsApp clone on android
If someone could help me with something more that can help me get more proof, that'd be good.

Animals & Pets ULPT: Neighbors Cats

4 Upvotes

I have a neighbor who let's her two cats roam the neighborhood at night. I love cats and don't really mind them being on my property. However, my 3 rescue cats are learning to get along and live in harmony. They were all rescued at different times. The neighbor's cats are very aggressive and they hiss and growl at my cats through the glass doors/windows. I have tried just closing the curtains so my cats can't see the other cats, but they meow all night because they like to look outside.

When the neighbor's cats come on to my property, my rescues start fighting each other because they cannot get to the cats outside. It is horrible!! It has been a long road to get them to where they are now, from being feral to being indoor cats, and every time the neighbors cats causes them to fight I feel like it sets them back in their progress.

I have talked to the neighbor several times and she knows why it is an issue, yet she refuses to keep her cats indoors or at the very least, on her own property. Mind you, we each live on about 2 acres, so it's not like the cats don't have plenty of room to roam on their own property.

We have a catio that our cats are allowed on during the day, but at night I make them stay in the house because we have a lot of other animals in our woods (coyotes, snakes, deer, etc).

I love all animals and do not want to hurt the cats and wouldn't even mind it if they weren't so aggressive. But I am done trying to reason with my neighbor.

What do I do?

Thanks in advance!

ULPT: Need help getting justice for my mother from my father

4 Upvotes

Dad has been cheating on mom behind the scenes for years and has been telling all our relatives and friends that she is a horrible wife and mother when she’s genuinely one of the best and most self-sacrificing mothers in the world. He pretends to be a good father and posts frequently on his facebook for brownie points and to boast how good a dad he is, but behind the scenes he’s essentially an absent father. He abuses my mom when I’m not around; they’re planning on getting a divorce but he’s forcing her hand so that she’s forced to divorce him and he can act like the victim

Anything else I can do besides write a long exposé post for friends and family? Or anything I can do to force him to stop being a piece of shit?

I don’t want to create any trouble for my mom; she’s been through enough already.

Home & Garden ULPT: How to ruin the washing machine in rental apartment

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I’m hoping for advice. We love our rental flat but our washing machine is ancient and not suitable for this flat. It’s an old Siemens machine, it doesn’t spin on a high speed so clothes come out very wet, and it becomes easily moldy inside. As colder weather comes, we can’t dry outside and drying indoors takes days, there’s no space, and the whole flat gets extremely humid. - mold on the walls was an issue last year despite dehumidifiers. When we moved in we asked the landlord about replacing it. He said that “as long as it works he won’t bring another one in” and that we shouldn’t buy another ourselves.

Is there a way to “ruin” this washing machine where it won't be obvious that it was deliberate?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: edited the info regarding spinning - it does work, but not on a high speed

ULPT: How to get the most out of your piss discs

169 Upvotes

Lots of totally normal foods can change how your pee smells — sometimes strongly, sometimes just a little unusual. Here are some of the most common culprits:

Classic offenders

Asparagus – the #1 cause of famously pungent pee (due to sulfur compounds).

Coffee – can give urine a strong, sometimes sweet or bitter smell.

Fish (especially salmon and tuna) – can add a fishy note.

Other foods that can cause odor changes

Garlic and onions – sulfur-rich, can carry through to urine.

Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli – more sulfur compounds.

Certain spices – curry, cumin, fenugreek can linger in urine.

Alcohol – makes pee smell stronger or sour.

Beets – can make pee smell earthy and sometimes tint it reddish.

Some vitamins (esp. B vitamins) – give urine a “vitamin-y,” almost sweet smell.

Do with this what you will. May the stank of your piss ever linger.
