No Stupid Questions

Im realizing that I’ve actually been chronically dehydrated for a good portion of my adult life and I’m looking to change that. I just don’t enjoy drinking water (as silly as that may sound).

I’m currently unable to hear in one ear, but while eating, I can “hear” my chewing in both ears. Is this just a me thing or does this happen to other people?

Not a technical person, as I understand it, Google and Bing are full search engines while options like Seaexng, Ecosia, Duckduckgo are meta search engine that depend on Google or Bing. Are there other search engines that are fully independent, and if there aren’t, what are the barriers that stop other search engines from emerging

I don’t want to start a business as such yet, just as a hobby for now. This kind of thing really interests me

What is the reason for all the movement when we really need to go pee? Is it a subconscious reaction to distract the mind from a full bladder, or does sloshing the pee around in your bladder make it somehow better? I would assume not, since that probably increases the physical urge that you need to go pee, but why then do we dance and hop…

Looking for games for my friend. She’s mostly looking for a casual timewaster for a bit of enjoyable escapism. She historically liked some of the “merge games” where it’s about merging icons on a grid, and a couple of the more traditional idle games but its so hard to find any without summy practices like dark patterns and abusive monitization.

I know nothing about boats but I learn fast and never forget.

All the James Bond movies were on MGM+, but they left MGM+ to go to Netflix in January. However, all the movies are leaving Netflix on April 20th (today). My question is: do I now have to pay for MGM+ so I can watch all the movies? Because I didn’t get to watch them all while they were on Netflix.

I bought an Ergodox EZ a few years ago. While I enjoyed it at first, I realized that I was avoiding certain workflows because it lacked arrow and function keys, forcing you to rely on different layers.

@nostupidquestions @ij could l possibly carry out all my command line functions on my windows desktop after installing the vs code ??

I’ve heard of a case where an American man was ranting about “why can’t they speak English” despite him being in a country where it’s not even spoken (in this case: Japan), like WTF? He’s literally in another country where a different language is spoken, isn’t that already common sense? Yes, there are (some) Americans who are like this: assuming that everyone all over the world just knows English from the get go, but that’s not always the case.

Just watched the P&F episode where Django makes a picture to show his dad. What the fuck? THIS is the “painting a continent” from the opening?

Hypothetically speaking

So to preface, I only really use doordash when I’m sick and I want to get food without spreading whatever I have. So I don’t open the app much. I just noticed that dominos is on the doordash app in my area. Why in the world would anyone ever doordash a dominos pizza when they already do delivery anyways? That just seems like a great way to burn a bunch of extra money for a worse service.

I’m auctioning off out/away (? Non native speaker 😅) my old-ish gaming consoles and this person is asking about a unit’s serial number. Why? I mean, I put up more than ten images of the console from various angles and such… What’s the significance?

Вирішив через пару років повернутись на реддіт, зайшов на групу на яку ще тоді давно підписався, залишав трішки постів, відповідаючи просто на запитання, автомодерація *мені писала, що контент має бути перевіреним модерацією, ну думаю ок, потім після якогось посту в мене видає помилку сайт, і аватарка зникає, погуглив і дізнався, що це таке як тіньовий бан, в підтримку писав, але *відповіді поки нема*, і я не розумію в честь чого таке могло статись, тому вирішив дізнатись вашої поради що робити. Тут питання просто стоїть в тому, *за що дали і чому*, бо тут стоїть зараз таке як не *визначеність, що і починає трішки дратувати це, тому мене це питання і хвилює

I have these two Koreans living below me and whenever they cook I always think of ways to break in and get their food. My fridge had a six pack of beer and one slice of pizza, college days. Anyway one day I think it was a Sunnday I hear banging on my door and it’s one of the two korean chaps below. She told me to come and enjoy. But majorly got pissed off at my empty fridge. A little bit more but will leave it there.

In areas where there isn’t a dedicated U-turn lane, you have to use the left-turn lane if you want to make a U-turn. You just have to work with what’s available since not all roads are wide enough to have a separate U-turn lane.

As in, pretty much all sellers absolutely refuse to ship directly to Nigeria at their own discretion since eBay doesn’t even list the country as a shipping destination (usually excluded countries are listed like: Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, etc). where the reasons are already given and obvious, but Nigeria is not cited amongst them, why is that?

Currently, one of my family members frequently sees a lot of conflicting nutrition and medical info on the internet with various influencers, so it can be hard for them to decipher what’s true or not. Are there any channels with easy to understand shorts, that also meet the general scientific consensus?

I’m a tattoo artist and I’ve had a few people drift off lately. As a professional, I actually take it as a compliment because it means they’re relaxed, but I’m curious, do people think we hate it? Ask me anything about the shop ‘green flags’ or ‘red flags’ you’ve been too afraid to ask your artist!

It’s a lot of poop guys

Idk what is going on and at this point, my brain is too fried from depression to understand complex global politics

Help settle a bet

I’m not native English speaker so just to be sure: I mean those shows where “random” (in quotes because I suppose not that many apply and the producers still have to do some vetting), not professional entertainers, just normal people go to TV and answer knowledge questions in some gamified way.

Most countries have a cap at 10,000 USD (or foreign currency equivalent) for undeclared amounts of cash or other monetary assets, as amounts larger than that have to be declared upon travel. Crypto (like BTC or Monero) isn’t counted since it’s not considered as “valid currency” by the world bank.

No ‘they went to go live on a farm’ BS. How do you actually tell them without lying?

I’m talking about like psychiatric medications…

First off, if there’s a better place to ask this, I’d appreciate a nudge in that direction.

The exchange rate between the Bajan Dollar & US Dollar is on par (or halved as 1 USD = 2 BSD) since BSD is pegged to USD. Same case with the Aruban Florin (as 1 USD is trading at 1.79 AWG), but how similar are both countries in relation to culture despite them using unreleated currencies? They’re both island nations, so the activities reflect that.

I’ve spent a few days now ripping dvds I own of some tv series, but the names of the individual files are all stupid (they’re almost all something like t0_01) so it’s completely unsorted in jellyfin. Is there an easy or automated way to fix this without clicking each one and manually renaming it?

Assuming actual MI6 and CIA agents wear suits in the field, how the hell do they run and fight in them? This question applies to homicide detectives too.

I was thinking about how Bruce Springsteen is the only artist I know of who has written a protest song lately and I was wondering if anyone else had any good recommendations since… 2016 or so.

I noticed recently that someone I blocked in the past was able to downvote my post. I thought if you block someone, they shouldn’t be able to see my posts at all? We are on two different instances if it helps.

Like the two senators or anyone for that matter. I always tell my mother that either they are in fear of the power the other party may do, maybe getting paid off, or some even fear of deportation.

We traded him for the WNBA player.

Or to be honest with you I would like to have my ashes ground up and made for fertilizer for a pot plant and have the world smoke me.

The Boys and Invincible are clearly kind of copycats of Superman, especially with Homelander and Ryan. My question is: how have Amazon, Garth Ennis, or Robert Kirkman not faced a lawsuit by DC yet? I know Viltrum is not Krypton, but come on—it’s a straight-up Superman story. Viltrum = Krypton, and the Viltrumites even have Kryptonian powers, minus the cold breath, X-ray vision, and heat vision.

It’s a very good game but I don’t remember getting any trans vibes from it.

In the original Batman comics, Alfred didn’t raise Batman after his parents were killed; it was actually Bruce’s uncle, who was a wealthy aristocrat. Alfred joined the Batman cast years later, after Dick Grayson/Robin first appeared.

I’m doing an NCR Trooper cosplay and what I’ve noticed is that buying an M16A1 airsoft gun and some brown paint for the furniture is WAYYYYY cheaper than buying a non-functioning prop. Like, the website I saw listed an M1 Carbine Airsoft gun as 250 dollars but the prop version is over 1000. What gives?

Why are those long planks of wood called “2 by 4s”?

Luckily it didn’t happen but like… my hand be shaky at times and like… I wonder what is one supposed to do if they ever drop their phone in them lol

The TikTok and Pinterest trend called the “old money aesthetic” is just a really fancy or classy lifestyle. It’s basically a preppy, Ivy League, business-casual style, and these clothes are things regular people can also buy. They have a bunch of them at Walmart, and you can get them on Amazon.

You rub two insulators against each other and attain a charge imbalance. Is there a rule as to which of the materials will end up with a negative charge and vice versa? Does it depend on which one has more or less lose valence electrons?

Edit: I think I did just mix up the nutrition facts and ingredient. I’m dumb lol

In American English a period ( . ) is used as a decimal separator, but there are other places in the world where a comma ( , ) is used.

It would be tedious to create the same playlist on every music streaming platform. Is there a good and recommended service that does this task?

Like the infinite monkeys typing Shakespeare, but with audio instead.

I made a post asking specifically for DC fans their opinions. The people who responded aren’t actual fans—they’re just people who think they are fans but have never picked up a comic in their life. My question is: why do non-fans try so hard to engage with real fans?? You aren’t a real fan of DC, Marvel, or anything superhero-related, so you don’t deserve to be in the fandom space.

For example, if I want to collaborate on making a (non-computer related) textbook with someone, and we want to use git as a version control system. Should we use github/codeberg for this or is there a platform that’s more suitable for using git in nontechnical contexts?

I’m in the US, no degree, and absolutely sick to death of working in retail.

I know I’m qualified, and my local post office REALLY wants me to work with them. And I was even selected as an RCA last time, but the only reason I didn’t take the job is because I didn’t have a minivan. (I have a car, not a minivan).

I’m mostly talking about camera drones rather than FPV ones.

Cuz there are some white youtubers that apprantly went to places in China and people said they never saw a white person before…

I’m making some very basic chili. I have a can of black beans thats near expiry. Will adding it to my chili ruin it? It would be a 2:1 ratio of kidney beans to black beans.

My intial assumption was that fewer people eating meat means lower prices because of a larger supply for lower demand. But of course it might mean fewers ranchers and companies investing in livestock in the first place because fewer expect to make a profit on it. What’s the market analysis say to anyone familiar with it?

When I was 17 (NB) I dated “Emma” (15F). We broke up when she was 16 and I had just turned 18. She said she wasn’t a good girlfriend, but I think differently. I think I was a bad partner.

My computer has accumulated some cruft that’s making it hard to manage, and resetting the PC seems like the most straightforward way to deal with it. I already have all my important files saved elsewhere. I also wanted to see if I could kill two birds with one stone and rid myself of the dependence on an MS account. I’ve seen there’s some terminal stuff you can do when installing Windows fresh that bypasses the mandatory account creation, but does that still work when resetting? Especially when resetting from the cloud?

I don’t understand why there’s no secondary option if Strait of Hormuz goes down. Obviously there are alternative routes out there but why big gas companies even governments did not see this coming. Are they okay losing billions? Or do they actually have a plan that ordinary people don’t know about?

You’ve won 10,000,000 Rials from a lottery in Oman upon purchasing a lucky ticket by chance, but it’s given to you all in cash (each stack is worth around 5000 Rials, given to you via 2 travel sized suitcases). It’s a lot more money when you factor in currency exchange.

Or maybe do i need to file a FOIA or something? If so how do I do it? Back when I was in college we had Lexus Nexus to get such information. Do they have Lexus Nexus outside of a University for lowly citizens?

Background

I always enjoyed explaining to patients what we do, why, what they should do for aftercare and what happens afterwards. What I don’t like is the grind that’s nursing and how immature, lazy and uneducated, proud antivaxers, many nurses I work with are.

Being a good person and a good leader is not mutually exclusive. I’m not asking from a moral perspective—from an objective ‘business’ or even political point of view—is Vladimir Putin a good, professional leader in his country?

The only funny thing is Colin jost and Michael Che. All the acting is staged and not improv lie it used to be. And who is the host. Where did he come from? I’ve never heard of these musical acts either.

so i know labels are overrated, some may say, and all that, but my sister thinks it’s interesting to find out. it may change as she’s a young teen, but she’s never had a crush, as she says. in fact, as well, she’s never had a sexual desire or libido, which my dad said is “abnormal as most teens are wanting to have sex”, even though it’s clearly ok to not want to and everyone is different.

How big did it go and how small did iit get?
