Why do we just accept chairs?
Everyones butt has been on them..also.benches. this is not a metaphor or social commentary
What things to take care before I leave?
This is a serious question
I’m planning to end.
When I think there are a lot of stuff that i need to take care of before I leave:
Informing parents about my health term plans
Managing and encashing my stocks and shifting them to my parents account
Deleting my social media
Transferring my money to my parents account, breaking all Fixed Deposits
Moving my vehicle and properties to my parents name
What else I’m missing?
Edit:
- Clear browser history
- Clean laptops
- Download and clear online storage- gdrive, google photos, icloud
What is the strongest, most powerful industrial vacuum that an individual can buy? And what about leaf blowers?
reddit.comWhat would be an acceptable thing to depend my partner on?
Besides sex. I know it's unhealthy to emotionally depend on your partner. But what is healthy dependency?
Before 9/11, was the emergency hotline 911 ever pronounced like "nine-eleven"?
Like, I'm guessing that "nine-one-one" was always the most prominent pronunciation, but was "nine-eleven" ever used prior to 2001?
If no, would it have been so bizarre that nobody would have understood you if you said, "Call nine-eleven!" (in lieu of nine-one-one) or would people still get the message even if that wasn't the most popular way to say it?
It just seems hard to believe to me that nobody ever referred to it as nine-eleven before-- If I'm at the grocery store, the cashier would refer to my $8.31 total as "eight-thirty-one" instead of "eight-three-one". I feel like at least some people would be inclined to pronounce 911 in a similar fashion.
If yes, are there any examples of popular TV shows/songs that used the "nine-eleven" pronunciation only for it to age horribly?
Can an unhealthy diet cause visceral fat gain even you don’t consume excess calories?
reddit.comWould you rather turn into a random forest tree during a logging operation or a random food item in Nikocado Avocado's house?
Both for 24 hours:
If you become a tree, you remain conscious while and after you are cut down, and you stay conscious for the rest of your remaining time.
If you become food at Nikocado Avocado's house, you don't just become a single piece of a larger whole(for example, you don't become just one potato chip, but the entire bag)and you remain conscious until the food you have become is completely consumed.
Where do you think you face less risk?
What’s the meaningful difference between social democracy and democratic socialism?
It seems like the same thing to me. Both soc dems and dem socs seem to want the same thing, reform of the current economic system but with socialistic elements included to make it more fair and inclusive for the people and also to limit power of the wealthy.
So is there really any meaningful difference?
If dogs woof, cats meow and foxes go ringdingdingdiring, what sound do humans make?
Like actually. Think about it
Why Do People Record Their Own Intimate Videos?
A friend of mine is going through something really disturbing. Someone is blackmailing her by threatening to leak her private intimate videos. She had given her phone for repair, and it appears someone there copied the videos. I told her to report it to the cybercrime authorities instead of giving in to the blackmail, but she's terrified. Cases like these are heartbreaking because some people become so overwhelmed by fear and shame that they even unalives themselves..
My question isn't meant to blame anyone, I'm genuinely trying to understand. Why do people record intimate videos of themselves in the first place? Even if you trust your partner completely, phones can be stolen, hacked, repaired by strangers, or accounts can be compromised. Is the moment really worth the lifelong risk if those videos ever fall into the wrong hands?
How much screen time is too much?
Like bad for your health? Brain etc
Why are we all pushed to be ambitious when we rely on completely unambitious work?
It's always struck me as odd that we are seen as losers and failures if we are not continually climbing the ladder and "demonstrating ambition" and working to get promoted to executive level or vice president or becoming a big law attorney or surgeon or a successful entrepreneur... when these exact roles rely on millions of people caught in completely unambitious, mundane work that keeps society running, like retail, ride share drivers, sewage plant operators, admin type desk jobs, etc.
Why are we shamed for not being part of the top 5% employment status when society would fall apart if everyone were an executive, manager, successful attorney?
I'm at a restaurant and I ask for a water cup... they give me a water bottle with the seal on the cap broken... should I trust that water bottle?
reddit.comDoes anyone else feel like technological progress has slowed down?
When I watched the movie Back to the Future years ago, it imagined that by around 2015 or 2020 we'd have flying cars, hoverboards, and all kinds of futuristic technology. A lot of older sci-fi movies predicted similar things.
But here we are, and while our phones and AI have improved a lot, we still don't have flying cars as a normal part of everyday life.
So what happened? Did those movies overestimate how fast technology would advance? Or has innovation actually slowed down? Have we reached the point where the remaining breakthroughs are simply much harder to achieve, or has human creativity and engineering progress started to plateau?
I'm genuinely curious. Why does it feel like technology was advancing at an incredible pace before, but now it feels much slower?

I will never understand how people eat 🍑, like no way you actually love eating 🍑, I will never understand the benefits of eating 🍑, to those who do..how was it like to eat 🍑, and why do it, what happens if you are eating someone's 🍑 and find an uncleaned spot?

For the ladies - do you shave your legs above the knee?? I am a 32 year old female and no once since I started shaving my legs as a teen have I gone above my knee.
I’m sorry I don’t have any other ladies I would feel comfortable causally chatting about this lol but I am very curious what the norm is. I feel like when I was on the bus in middle school, one of the girls mom taught her to not do her knee at all and just stick to the lower leg.
