  • Why is the USA attacking Iran?

  • It seems naive to think that you could accomplish regime change with only air strikes? America tried occupation, tried training Afghanistan, none of that worked.

  • What honest and harmless test do you put on a potential date?

    Jump

  • Putting other people up to random 'tests' that they don't know about, that seems like a bad system. Though your specific example about kids is clearly an important thing to be worried about.

  • What are the under discussed risks/horror stories of Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications?

    Jump

  • There seems to be an anorexia fad. People who didn't even need to lose weight now look anorexic after taking it. Feels like we're back in the 90's. Baggy pants, midriff shirts, and being incredibly incredibly thin.

  • Governments wanting an AI powered police state was always the obvious outcome. Does Plantir not have AI tools?

  • How often do you fluff your pillows?

    Jump

  • What? I like... use pillows. They get old. Sometimes they get gross. Sometimes they get thrown away. Sometimes I buy a new pillow. I'm supposed to be 'fluffing' them? Seems like extra work. Sounds like you work for your pillow. Your pillow should work for you.

    Takes like, 2-5 years not 6 months. Buy from Costco? IDK.

  • Enough people that he got AIDS?

  • Good point

  • Dude lived a pornstar life and then he cured AIDS.

  • Trump Reportedly Mulling Plan to Declare ‘National Emergency’ Paving Way for Major Power Grab

  • He's already declared like 30 emergencies.

  • Google "why did sailors drink alcohol" if you want some sources.

  • “Beer and wine were invented because drinking water was unsafe.”

    No, people have generally always known how to find clean drinking water and understood its importance. Beer and wine got made because they were delicious, nutritious, and got ya drunk.

    Sounds like someone who misheard a different fact. Which is why sailors drink low proof alcohol on long voyages. Because they couldn't safely store water for such a long time. Water turns green and becomes undrinkable if you store it in a barrel. It's one of the things that helped unlock ocean travel in the 1400's.

    Alcohol occurs naturally in nature. It did not need 'inventing.'

  • Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?

    Jump

  • Does your friend consider themselves on the left or the right side of the graph?

    Any graph like that where it puts their own beliefs as 'smart' and others beliefs as 'dumb' is inherently a pretty useless graph. Graph says them smart, you dumb. Does the graph not convince you? LOL.

  • Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents?

    Jump

  • No, not the right country or the right stereotype. Like men might shorten 'muchacho' to 'chacho' while women would be saying 'muchacha.'

  • Facial recognition error prompts police to arrest Asian man for burglary 100 miles away

    Jump

  • Choudhury’s mugshot was held on the police system only because he had been wrongly arrested in 2021 when he had been attacked on a night out while at university in Portsmouth. The police released him with no further action. Now he has had a second mugshot taken he is afraid the automated system could trigger more wrongful arrests.

  • I didn't realize there were states where groceries were taxed.

  • Not historically accurate but close enough.

  • I might include Nixon on the graph too.

  • No evidence behind RFK Jr’s claim keto diet can cure schizophrenia, experts say

    Jump

  • When has RFK ever suggested a vegan diet? The article referenced a "red meat, whole milk and animal fats" diet. So my mistake I should have said steak not chicken.
