You've been saying the same bad advice up and down this thread.

If you reliably pay your credit card bills in full by the due date, your score climbs and climbs. Not instantly, over time. Reliability isn't a one-off.

If you cancel your credit card, you have less evidence that other institutions are happy to lend to you, and your score could go down.

If you apply for a new credit card, your score can go down because that's also what people who are running out of money do, not because your borrowing to limit percentage is low.

The highest credit scores are for people who have been loaned plenty of money, and who always make their payments.

Deliberately causing them to charge you interest just makes you poorer and does not show that you're a good risk to loan to. It's the front door for ballooning debt, and that's what they want none of - people who get declared bankrupt or have other debt interventions are a massive loss to them, and what they want to avoid like the plague.

    Dude, some guy doinging his buddy is no threat to you. And them getting married causes you no harm. It's 2026. Get over it.

    And if you think it's easy to recruit heterosexual men into homosexuality, I have some news about how straight you actually are.

    Just as well trains and other vehicles don't have roofs then.

    Fun fact: Unlike natural gas, which needs enough oxygen and enough gas to explode, hydrogen is explosive at almost any concentration of hydrogen and oxygen!

    Boom! Woohoo!

    Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

    Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there’s just a few things over and over and over and they’re not quite what you wanted. It’s so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it’s these same products again and again.

    It gets used online for things, and there are whole communities devoted to shitposting, but I can't find a clear set of rules for something to count as a shitpost. I remember querying whether a post on a shitposting community was witty enough to be a shitpost rather than just a shitty post, but of course not all the responses to that were terribly helpful!
