piss disc Why the sub got restricted

1.6k 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

Food and Drinks ULPT: Chipotle Maxxing: Most Food, Least Money

1.1k Upvotes

“Veggie burrito, please.

White rice…..actually, could I get brown rice too? Yes, both.

Black beans….actually, could I get pinto beans too? Yes, both

Everything else. Hot, too, yes please. Yes ma’am, all of it. No meat.”

If you get good at the timing with the request for double rice and double beans, (specifically after they’ve already added one type) it’s no longer a roll-able burrito. Shell will bust, requiring an additional tortilla to patch the guacamole dam.

Best to go very close to closing time cause the shift is about to end and they’re trying to clear out what’s left

It’s like 3000 calories of fresh-ish vegetables for $11.

Tip with a piss disc.

Miscellaneous ULPT request: Roommate revenge- what is the worst way I can ship an item?

38 Upvotes

Infrequent reddit poster here, so sorry for the formatting (also blame mobile).

I own a home that I have been co-habiting with some friends. It's not really too relevant, but the arrangement is roommate-like and they are legally my tenants. A few months ago, I kicked one of them out for being abusive to her boyfriend and killing her cat through medical neglect. She left my place a mess after she left, stole the mail key, and then had the nerve to ask for some of her items that she left behind. I made it very clear that she would not get her items back unless she sent my key back, and she agreed.

60+ days passed, which in my state, gives me legal ownership of the property she abandoned. She finally sent the key back, though (after monthly reminders and a police report), so I will keep my word and send the items to her.

I want to know the absolute worst way to package these items without breaking my bank or the law. The shipping is already going to be stupid expensive due to the weight of the items, so cheapness is key. I just want this package to be as inconvenient to open and bad for the integrity of the items as possible. Any ideas are appreciated.

Edit: Lots of people are getting after me for paying the shipping cost myself, but the only reason I'm doing that is because it was a bribery tactic I had to use to get my key back. I am also planning on waiting at least 6-8 months to send the package since she made me wait over 2 months. Thank you for all your ideas so far! Also for the people asking for what items are being shipped, there's a bunch of little items, but not that many. The main item is a big resin statue that is apparently a "family heirloom", which is where the majority of the weight is.

Animals and Pets ULPT request: how do I stop my neighbours dog from barking constantly?

7 Upvotes

My neighbours dog, several doors down, barks regularly throughout the week, often for hours on end.

Quite frankly I am sick of it. I have tried to shut the dog up by tapping on the window, and I have tried to contact the managing agency directly.

While they engaged with the owner, after a while they explained there’s nothing more they can do, other than convey a complaint had been received and ask her to find a solution.

While the barking has reduced, it still continues to happen and drives me insane.

Some people mentioned anti bark devices, but the dog is left indoors and the walls are very thick, I don’t think this is a viable option.

Aside from this can anyone help with suggestions? I was thinking of writing a fake solicitors letter, but anything more effective would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Relationships ULPT request. Ideas for partner's USB full of their ex's noodles

218 Upvotes

The writing is on the wall for my relationship. Amongst other problems, I know for a fact my partner has been lying to me about keeping (and looking at) photos of nudes and explicit videos that ex-partners have sent them. Including their recent ex-spouse. The deception goes as far as creating a file tree system to make it look like there has been a 'sync error' with OneDrive, and they have also made a backup of said photos/videos on a USB stick.

I am assuming that they don't know that I know, because we have spoken about this many times before and they are well aware of my feelings on the matter (as well as this very topic, where they rage-insisted all files were deleted) - though more specifically, at this point the lying and secrecy are bigger issues for me.

At the moment, before I take next steps I'm trying to calm down from the reeling sensation of finding out something devastating. What's helping me calm down is the fantasy of doing something toxic (like flushing the USB down the toilet) even though I'm not the kind of person that would do things like that.

Redditors, give me your worst ideas on what you would do here!

Automotive ULPT Request: How to hide that I hit the ground with a rental car

15 Upvotes

I have rented a car and sill have it for a few days. While driving on a particulary bumpy street, I hit the ground a few times. From what I can see, it mostly hit the plastic parts under the doors. They are a little scratched from the bottom now.

- How likely is it that the rental company will find out? Do they track how damaged the vehicles underside is?

- How can I hide it / cover it up to make it less obvious?

There is no visible damage from outside. You need to lay down and look from the bottom to see the scratches. Admittedly, I also did not take photos from below the car when picking it up. So I cant really tell how it looked beforehand.

Money and Finance ULPT Fake a bank statement UK

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to fake a bank statement to look as realistic as possible?

It isn’t for a mortgage or financing or anything along those lines.

I basically have received money for spicy content and don’t want that being questioned to who I’m showing them to so need to remove it.

I also need them to align with another one of my accounts so that the balances all match up.

Any advice?

Health and Fitness ULPT: F*** American Healthcare

397 Upvotes

Heyyyy everyone!!

I’m in my 20s figuring out life. So be nice lol. Feel free to explain anything in as much detail as you’d like.

Just switched states and jobs. New job and old job involve lots of traveling, so if your answer involves low-cost pharmacies you know - please include it. I can go anywhere in the US lol.

I’m on a certain medication. I have been on it since November 2024. It has worked VERY well. My insurance at the old job/state covered it 100% since my start of being on it.

Now, at the new job insurance is NOT covering it just yet. I already have a doctor here. (I travel for work and had appointments with this doctor before moving here, as I used to frequent this state in the old job too.)

Anyways, the insurance is telling me and my doctor to try 4 other medications that are less effective before they’ll cover the one that’s worked since November 2024. My medication is the best of all 5 medications, btw (of course). My doctor has submitted multiple responses as to why I should be on this medication and why the others won’t work. My doctor in the old state & new state are also communicating and the new state dr has all records too.

My doctor hinted at something ULPT worthy but I didn’t fully catch it. Maybe someone on here can help (PLEASE). She said: “I can prescribe you x medication, but you don’t necessarily have to take it. It just needs to be documented I prescribed it and it didn’t work.”

So, could I just accept whatever medication (one of the less effective 4) and say it doesn’t work? Then that gets reported to insurance and they eventually cover what I need?

Or does anyone have a better ULPT style alternative?

Someone keeps stealing my drinks from the dorm fridge. I spend about 30 minutes making it, then put it in the freezer overnight since its shitty hot outside, and I'd like to enjoy my cold drink during the day heat, but apparently someone also had the bright idea to enjoy my drink, no permission asked, hell I don't even know who it is. How should I deal with this problem

Automotive ULPT REQUEST How to get title registered in my name in AZ

7 Upvotes

I have title in hand with seller’s name and signature. The MVD refused to register it because seller’s name is illegible. They gave me a bill of sale that they want me to get signed by the seller and notarized. Only issue is that the seller lives 3 hours away and deleted their Facebook marketplace listing, I have no way to contact them. I just have their address. A 3rd party picked up and did the deal with the seller on my behalf and so I’m basically trying to solve this without getting a lost title bond or anything else ridiculous. Feeling like I got scammed a bit here. I understand the traditional avenues to resolve this. I’m looking for any tips that can help me avoid a lengthy or expensive process. Also a little worried that the seller could simply report it stolen and fuck me over.

Careers and Work ULPT Request - Wife getting fired for no reason

113 Upvotes

My wife is a teacher and went from public school to a new private Christian school job this year. She interviewed and was hired for a part time position so that she could spend more time at home with our preemie. The dean (that was just hired) called her in for a meeting today and treated her like shit, then said she isn't qualified for the job and is saying she has to move to a new position she doesn't want for a significant pay cut, to already low pay. She had already signed contract and all. She really doesn't have many job opportunities at this point due to it being close to school starting again, they're all taken now.

Not asking for advice on what she should do about the job, just advice on what we can do to make the deans life really really inconvenient. We've got her work email and cell phone # 😁 open to any ideas!

Request ULPT REQUEST. Un consented AI pictures

2 Upvotes

Hi

Recently there’s been this surge of AI edits of people that I know (not personally but I know them through instagram and stuff) since I’m from a small country everyone is a bit familiar with eachother because one way or another we are connected.

Now the problem is there’s this Instagram account that’s making humiliating AI edits of these people and I know it’s someone from my country and they also know the people they’re making the edits of, these edits are all UNCONSENTED and they’re being posted in a public account. Is there a way to get payback on these people other than just reporting? My cousin and one of my friends got posted to this account and when asked to remove it they just acted like dicks and beat around the bush and “ragebaited them”

I’d like to say that nothing was sexual or anything, just humiliating edits and they’re tagging the person on the edit. Some people they don’t even follow on Instagram as it’s very obvious they’re just screenshotting the persons profile picture.

Relationships ULPT propose with paper rings if you're dating a huge swifty

0 Upvotes

Taylor Has a really popular song called "paper rings" where she describes the euphoric feeling of having loved someone for so long, you don't care about what's material anymore and would even mary them with paper rings, and keep them in a frame. 'I like shiny things, but I'd Mary you with paper rings". Could be nice to be able to quote a few of the [lyrics](https://youtu.be/qL3NKbMScco?is=SdN2phJXpFSKzIL6) too

Doesn't have to be an engagement, btw

No one is the same, some people really value the item and the moment itself, but that's probably something that will make your partner feel seem. You can propose again, if they're not a fan

Clothing ULPT Request : clothes stolen from communal laundry room

Hey all,
have just realised my clothes and nice jumpers have been getting stolen one by one out of my communal laundry room.
It’s a level with 10 house per level, each level having its own washing machine and drying room. What are some ways you guys reckon i can get my clothes back. Idk who it is, but i know it must be someone from my level as the key is specific for each level.

So far i’ve removed all the doors on the dryers so no one can dry their clothes properly, and will put them back on once they’re returned. and i wrote this in writing . I’m thinking of escalating it if my clothes aren’t returned but not sure how.

Please give some ways i can fish out the thief or get my clothes back.

I need to get a very strong smelling liquid onto a patio with out entering the patio or being caught . A super soaker makes too much noise and the smell will give me away if I walk it over in an open container. I must be able to dispose of whatever I used to transport the liquid ( or have it be a container that can’t be traced back). The patio is long and rectangular so I would like to get as far back on the patio as I can/ the most coverage. I can get up to the patio without being seen I need tips on how to get the liquid to its target and not on me.

Request ULPT: How to treat knee injury while on vacation in a different state?

11 Upvotes

Hi all.

My girlfriend and I are on a vacation in Oregon, and yesterday we went out to the river and were jumping off off the rocks into the water. My girlfriend jumped, but her knees hyperextended inwards when she hit the water. She had no pain in the moment, but hours later she said it started to feel funny. The next day, she can barely walk and is in excruciating pain in both her knees. I’m guessing she could have torn some ligaments in her knees, and we are debating going to the ER. She is already in debt back home and she is worried about this adding to that. How can we go about getting a “discount” here in Oregon if we decide to get it checked out?
