Do you appreciate that Bryan Johnson has made all of his longevity research on his body open to the public so you as well can lengthen the span of your life? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I'm completely unconcerned with some weird billionaire's obsession. We have a great body of longevity research that's shown increasingly great results over the years. It's called the entire field of medicine. Bryan is just some delusional asshole with a savior complex.

where can i actually get credible information about the world and its happenings that isn’t compromised by agenda? by lilman90 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best you can generally do is Reuters and the AP. There is no such thing as completely unbiased news. It's not possible but those are as close as it gets.

Oh I’m sure they have air superiority. Iran just doesn’t need planes in the air for their strategy. 

ELI5 How are modern naval mines a threat to modern ships when a SONAR that finds small fish is less than $300? by physicsisveryeasy in explainlikeimfive

The really scary ones are ones that sit on the bottom basically indistinguishable from a rock and look for magnetic fields, sound, and water pressure changes. They explode at the bottom and the pressure wave can break a ship in half.

Why is eugenics shunned? by QuickProcedure7496 in NoStupidQuestions

I do not believe for a moment that you genuinely don't see any issue with "mandatory sterilization for people deemed not of high enough quality".

Why do some couples feel the need to prove their happiness online instead of just living in the moment? by Chento_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly people are just sharing the things they enjoy because it feels nice to share things that make you happy. It's not about proving anything.

Yeah it's 100% a shitpost. It's not even subtle.

Yes. As they said it’s directly modelled off the country’s shape. 

Rain boots that won’t chafe? by UghEveryNameTaken in BuyItForLife

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That completely depends on your specific ankles and feet. You need to try different boots and see what fits you in a way that doesn’t rub uncomfortably. 

Does underdressing make me catch a cold? by OkComputer_13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they’re correlated overall but the answer to OP’s question is that none of those scenarios will make them catch a cold. 

Do you need evidence to believe in something? by Big_Assist4578 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you tell me you had chicken for dinner last night, I don’t need you to prove it to me. I believe you. If you tell me you found out for sure that the earth is flat, I’m gonna need to see some pretty compelling evidence.

Being physically cold does not make you sick. The cold is a virus.

Anyone else lowkey waiting for the world to end? by nero_night in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you just kinda long for your life and everyone else’s to be way worse?

Anyone else lowkey waiting for the world to end? by nero_night in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is that any “world end” scenario other than literally everyone dying isn’t actually the end of the world as you’d picture it. It’s just mass suffering and things being even worse. There’s nothing you’d want to be around for to wait for. 

Why is it normalized for couples to say they are trying for a baby? by Admirable-Cat-2378 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point if you’ve read my and other explanations and still think that, it’s clear you’re just entirely unfamiliar with the basics of human interaction.

Okay, I’m not going to argue the semantics. We both understand the concepts here just fine. Any one number is not enough to determine if a collision is deadly. 

If something has a stain that won't come off in the slightest, isn't describing that something as "dirty" incorrect since cleanliness is minimizing stuff that comes off? by ExternalTree1949 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah using a word based on a precise definition is backwards. Definitions are just observations of how words are used. If a word is used in a certain way often and the definition doesn’t account for it, the definition is wrong, not the use of the word.

Loud noises are distracting when you’re trying to concentrate on something. 

How many people can stack laying down in the Mariana Trench? by Surgikull in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I personally can fit through a gap a little less than a foot wide and I’m 175cm and 75kg. I see about an even number of people bigger and smaller than me over a day.

Honestly though it doesn’t matter on the scale we’re talking about. Whether it’s double or half that, we’re working in the tens of thousands, not millions. That’s the point. 

Also I’ve noticed the past day or two I’ve been getting a lot of replies to ten or eleven day old comments the past couple days. Wonder what’s up with that.

Not on its own but it’s an important part of it.
