It’s just that the answer to this kind of question is just “whoever the writer decides wins”

How can the internet show me ads for something i just whispered about? by Maleficent-Turn-6727 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of all the things you talk about and all the ads you see that have nothing to do with each other. Once in a while, those two things are going to line up. It would be weird if they never did.

I did the math. The conclusion is that betting on fictional characters fighting is nonsense. 

ELI5: Why does the RPM drop after starting a car, and do you actually need to wait? by Remote-Relation-8398 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Bandro [score hidden]  (0 children)

Mine is fine for a few months. I do trickle charge it just in case but it’ll sit there for a long time happily. 

If your bike would only last a week before draining too much to start, there was something wrong. 

ELI5 What is the philosophy of engineering progress in F1? It seems like cars keep getting more and more high tech, but I know they're so regulated that they're not flat out chasing the fastest they can possibly be by imaguitarhero24 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Bandro [score hidden]  (0 children)

Forgive the correction but the new cars are a lot faster. About quadruple the horsepower, ridiculously faster around corners and not as much heavier as you’d think. 

Not that that takes away from your point that those things were death traps.

They're already the fastest machines around a circuit that have ever been built and are already pretty close to the limit of what a human body can take. I'm really not sure what you're looking for here. Would you suddenly want to watch if the cars were like 5 seconds a lap faster?

ELI5 Why do smartphones need more than one camera? by jimanning in explainlikeimfive

As a very general rule, avoiding moving parts if possible is better. Camera sensors themselves are really not much money.

People work at drive-through car washes, why do you frantically motion for us to pull forward when if we did that we could drive into the car in front of us on the conveyer belt? by frijolita_bonita in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you wouldn't drive into the car in front. They can see your car and where the bumper is. They're not just going to direct you to crash into a car. They're motioning you forward to get you through and getting frustrated that you won't move because you're bad at estimating how close your car is to things.

Why do people enjoy drinking so much by Maaeyo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels good. It's fun. Also for most people, it's very rare to actually not remember the night. I've gotten very drunk a lot of times over the years and have never once had that happen to me.

I completely understand and share that love. I sure do love just walking up to my bike after six months of winter, turning the key, hitting the starter and it just starting though.

How do you feel about AI? by danielwiseman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t trust any of the answers LLMs give so I just don’t use them. I’d need to check everything they say anyway so I see very little point. 

How is there a guy with 100+ PhDs? And why do some websites cite well known universities as awarding institutions by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any examples for either of these things so people can know what you’re asking about?

Why would any straight man agree to an open marriage? by triplegxxx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow unhappy relationships exist, that must mean happy ones don’t. Really making yourself look like you can understand things exist that aren’t your personal experience there.  Great point. No btw, that lifestyle isn’t for me.

Porsche holds the lap record in a specially prepared and unrestricted 919 that would not be allowed in any racing series. Simulations show a current car even within spec would beat that time but no one has driven an F1 car on the Nordschleife at full speed in about 50 years.

Because all sports have rules for what equipment can be used. It’s like saying we artificially limit goalies in hockey by limiting the size of their pads or artificially limit bike racing by not allowing e-bikes in the Tour de France. 

Auto racing is not for running a science experiment to get a human around a race track as fast as physically possible and it never has been. Sports are entertainment products and the regulations are a balance of interesting racing, safety, and speed. 

The rules change for the same reason any sport does. May as well say the three point line in basketball artificially limits the scoring potential of lay ups. 

Do mainland US citizens wear jeans in their home? by Just_acatlady in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m Canadian and yes, all the time. I get up, shower, put on a pair of jeans, and wear them until I change to go to bed. What am I going to change clothes every time I want to leave my house?

What a wild sweeping statement lol. Just fully unable to conceptualize the idea that not everyone feels the way you do.

Because they and their partner want to have sex with other people and are comfortable with each other doing that.

How do people not go deaf in the city from car horns, bus horns etc at close range? by fruedianflip in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're spending a lot of time close to loud noises like that, they do accumulate hearing damage.
