They tend to be more interactive and higher quality right? Although I think I could do better in AMA than here, I always seem to post when people don't want ASD AMAs which sucks because I don't have better things to do one on and I just try to alleviate my boredom.

Why do you prefer CasualAMA's to the regular ones? There are some really good threads on /r/iama, no? I really liked the Snoop Dogg one, for example.

Also, obligatory A/S/L, hobbies and what kind of music do you enjoy?

I mean it's cool and everything that people like Bill Nye come on reddit to answer questions from random people. But I just don't really care about what Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks about the space program or what some actor would be doing if he wasn't an actor. Basically, for me there are a few interesting AMAs, and the rest aren't relevant to me at all. Plus, I don't expect anyone to respond to me unless I have a really good question, which I rarely do. Casual AMAs are easy to get into though and they're so random.

I'm an American male somewhere in my late teens or early twenties. I'm not too happy with my hobbies these days, but they are: biking, reading, some php coding, and trying to figure out how to do more than 5 strings on my guitar. I like alternative, classical rock, some pop/dance music, some electronica, some trip hop, some indie rock, and some world. And I guess some classical.

I see your point, I barely know any of the people on /r/ama. I still stay subscribed because sometimes there are interesting threads there. The Fred Durst one was kinda cool, imo. I have no idea who Bill Nye is, Neil deGrass Tyson would be just another stranger on the internet to me if it wasn't for reddit (and he still is, I take it he's some kind of celebrity who explains science to a broader audience?)

/r/casualiama does have a lot of interesting threads, though. I like both for different reasons.

Yeah. Bill Nye for me was like my favorite thing in science class in elementary school. I loved his science episodes. But I still don't care about his opinion of his interview with Carol Costello, whoever that is.

There were still some good threads on /r/iama. Trent Reznor did two. The Jon Lajoie one was pretty cool, too. Did you read the one with Woody Harrelson (sp)? Not that I give any fucks about the guy himself, I still enjoy to get refereces (spelling once again, sorry) once in a while.

As I said, most people doing AMA's are complete strangers to me. I still enjoy reading real-time, community based interviews with people who's work I admire though.

You have no idea who Bill Nye is?!

[–]d3n14l 0 points1 point  (5 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope. I guess I could do a quick google search, but I would only read the first paragraph of his wikipedia entry and quickly lose interest. I never heard of the guy outside of reddit. Who is he?

Edit: skimmed over the first few results on google, seems like a good guy and all... If he's famous, his fame was lost on me. Never heard of him. I take it that he's well known among americans my age?

One more question before I answer, how old ARE you?

[–]d3n14l 0 points1 point  (3 children)

26 years old.

He's an engineer who made a kids show in the 90's called Bill Nye The Science Guy, and is very responsible for a lot of kids learning about science in elementary and high school. How you don't know him is completely baffling me.

I am austrian and grew up with two TV channels. This might ease your embafflement (is that even a word? Sp). Also this was pre-internet era.

I like to think of it as above average.

Meh. So-so. Just got done working and I'm waiting at a coffee shop to be picked up. I'd buy something to eat, but I forgot my wallet. I'd use my Starbucks card on my iPhone, but I'm at Caribou, which doesn't have any sort of iPhone payment.

I also prefer Casual AMA, as being from the UK I practically always miss the IAMA's. By the time I see them the show's already wrapped up :-( At least with these you stand a chance of getting a response!

What music subreddits do you listen to?

[–]subterraneantea[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You know, I'm not subscribed to any music subreddit. Any ones you would recommend?

[–]Quickswitch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well IMO it's best to stay away from the massive ones, as there's too many submissions & either deliberate downvoting or not enough time to listen to them all.

My favourite is r/vintageobscura. I've discovered so many hidden gems there. Also r/SoundsVintage.

I'm with you, amigo. While AMAs can be interesting at times, I get so much more satisfaction just picking the brains of the everyman in Casual AMAs. and we get some interesting stories and quirks from time to time too. Have you any exciting quirks reddit should know about?

[–]goingnowherespecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Me too, but some of the shit is starting to come over here. Like the stupid repetative questions we can see already and the stupid novelty accounts. Soon enough it will just be like the /r/AMA. Nobody wants to see the same pun threads and karma whoring comments every thread. Leave that shit to the bigger subs that nobody gives a fuck about.

What's your favorite pizza topping?

[–]subterraneantea[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Sausage. No wait, pineapple! I don't know.

How do you not know? Get both. Also, you are having trouble with guitar. Have you checked out /r/guitarlessons ? I have been playing for over a year and consider myself to be quite the novice.

Thanks, reddit seems to have a community for everything.

Soundslice.com is great if you can read tab. I actually take lessons and it seems to keep me focused. By myself I jump around learning parts of songs.

how funny do you think you are on a scale of 1-10?

10 being jim carrey in the 90s and 1 being a tyler perry movie.

Maaaan, um, like a 2. I'm really not very funny.

[–]karmapolice27 3 points4 points  (2 children)

funnier than a tyler perry movie, though. that's something.

A dead fish is funnier than a Tyler Perry movie.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just wish we had smiler subscriber base. Casual AMA would be 10x better then AMA if we did

It's a lot more laid back and it seems like the people are nicer. I tried posting to IAMA but got downvoted a ton. You guys are awesome at helping build self-confidence

    I'm pretty sure I'm saying I like the AMAs found in /r/casualiama than the AMAs in /r/iama.
