• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some drugs you think will make a comeback like qualewds or thai sticks or window pane? Does history always repeats itself apply to drugs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Laughing gas has seen some bans in Europe recently, so it’s already declining again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US or in Europe can I choose the way I want to go out? like maybe like a viking by setting a boat on fire while my body is on it? Or be shot out of a cannon HST style? or whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is basically unheard of to have the ashes of a loved one in an urn at home, like you see in movies.

  You don’t hear about it because it’s illegal, but I think it’s much more common than people think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come they don't make generic drugs for cats and dogs. I love my sisters buddy to death. Its just weird that all my meds are generic but animals are name brand. I just hate spend 250 every 3 mon.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because there’s a political interest in keeping health costs down for humans. For animals the market his more “free”. With doctors in the family we just had the vet recommend the drug and then bought the human version for our dogs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes I use ChatGPT to generate the stories that I would write but can't. Does anyone have tips on writing better after using ChatGPT for generating stories?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it will kill your creativity, but it will negatively affect your writing style. ChatGTP is a very bad writer, so you might not want to learn any tricks from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why am I not Irish⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if you’re like me it’s because all your ancestors 15 generations back all sat in the same small region and probably never came close to meeting anyone from Ireland.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any reason we were taught in school that blood is blue in the body until it reaches oxygen and then it turns red other than our veins look blue?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some teachers have no idea about things and still try to teach them. They aren’t different from other people there.

  We were taught a lot of stupid shit in elementary school, because the teacher was a crank and proud of it. I remember vividly how he tried to explain the density anomaly of water (to ten year olds) by saying that atoms in solid objects move faster than in liquids and therefore need more space. I didn’t believe one word of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need to be related to any Spanish or Scandinavian people to have similar markers. MyHeritage marked me with 35% DNA from the British Isles, but many people in my specific region if Germany seem to have the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives).⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We have two in my town. One is overly greasy, the other one overly salty. I suspect neither of them employs trained cooks but rather people that originally came here as tech students. I think both have mango chicken, but you can also get that in the Chinese places and in one pizza restaurant - which, despite having an Italian name, is run by Pakistani, but still has the second best pizza in town.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives).⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose there are so many people with Indian roots in GB that you can actually get good Indian food there. There’s competition and enough people who know how it’s supposed to taste like. I mean, where I live in Germany we have Indian restaurants run by Indian immigrants, but they are quite often not very good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Avocados aren’t sweet and contain a lot of fat, so yes, they kind of taste like a butter block with kind of a vegetable undertone. That’s why they are usually eaten seasoned and as a savory.

  That said, if they aren’t traditional in your country, they don’t have that much going for them. I like guacamole, but I don’t think the it justifies the price when there are so many other things to eat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I suck at reading comprehension... what the heck does this law even mean? [8 U.S. Code § 1451 - Revocation of naturalization]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They are trying to get rid of that too, but it seems to be difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bit safer to use freshly boiled water. You can contaminate distilled water if you keep it around long enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to drink quite a lot of destilled water or drink it regularly for this to matter. Also, Iron can’t be pulled out of your body, that’s why it can be quite dangerous to overdose on iron supplements long term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but very few and I think they might have personality disorders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long does it take for pregnancy to become noticeable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That really depends a lot on body shape. You surely heard about women who repressed any thought of pregnancy and nobody else did notice either. Apart from that I’d say 20 weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you touch the light switch entering a room if it's already on?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No - only in the garage which recently got a motion activated light installed. It’s also the only place in the house where I always swichted the light on because it’s always dark. So I’m simply not used to not switching the light on there yet.

  I tend to accidentally lock my office door at work, or try to unlock it when I’m inside and want to go out. That’s because the printing room door needs to be locked constantly and I go there several times a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I eat sprouted beets?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sprouts are only really a problem with potatoes. You can eat beet leafs and sprouts, so you only need to check if they aren’t spoiled in some other way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He wants the war to end and doesn’t care how. He wants to be seen as a peace- and dealmaker and doesn’t care about the details. He also respects Putin because he is what Trump wants to be. At the same time, however, it’s easy to sway Trump in any direction if you talk to him in person. He’ll accept your opinion as his own until one of his aides tells him otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be even funnier. I’m an atheist, but I go to church regularly with my wife. Some weeks ago the priest read that part of the bible - and everyone turned their head, looking at the stands in the back of the church where they were going to sell fair trade products later that day.
