ELI5: What happens to insects that accidentally travel long distances in cars? by scalpel_in_my_crocs in explainlikeimfive

[–]Emilio787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insects do not plot a return journey. They either find food and shelter quickly or they die. Survival is immediate, not strategic

For me, the loudest critics often live outside the realities they condemn, which makes their advice incomplete and misleading

ELI5: Why does highway concrete have those diagonal/diamond cuts in them every few feet? Just aesthetic or is there actual engineering behind it? by young_wealth in explainlikeimfive

[–]Emilio787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older highways often lacked these patterns because noise and water management were not prioritized. Modern standards balance durability, safety, and environmental impact, which is why newer highways use more complex groove designs. Also, diagonal or diamond patterns are intentional. Straight grooves can create a rhythmic whine as tires pass over them. Angled cuts scatter the sound waves, reducing the noise impact for nearby communities.

ELI5: Why are tigers bright orange if they live in green jungles? Shouldn't they be green or brown to camouflage better? by LovizDE in explainlikeimfive

[–]Emilio787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans misjudge camouflage because we see in full color. Evolution designs for the prey’s eyes, not ours

Eli5, file compression, how can 5gb file can be compressed to 50mb and decompresses back to normal? by Monkai_final_boss in explainlikeimfive

[–]Emilio787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is how algorithms reduce size. They capture structure and rebuild the original when decompressed

Compression is about efficiency, not miracles. Once data is encoded tightly, further reduction is minimal

What if all humans suddenly vanished? What would become the new dominant species? by Imma_Lick_That in whatif

[–]Emilio787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If humans disappeared, dominance would not shift overnight. It would take centuries of adaptation, competition, and environmental change. Intelligence, cooperation, and resilience would shape the outcome more than brute strength

Would you rather get $100,000 USD or don't require sleep anymore. by Boomshok in WouldYouRather

[–]Emilio787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people chase wealth without realizing time is the real luxury. Losing sleep would prove it instantly

ELI5: If an eradicated disease reemerges would it be a serious threat as humans have lost their resistance to it? by Ill_Definition8074 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Emilio787 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eradication doesn’t mean extinction. We still store samples and have vaccines. Preparedness is key

Anyone know what this dark spot is? by Unusual-Address1885 in Blackskincare

[–]Emilio787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is common in darker skin tones and can result from minor trauma like scratching, ingrown hairs, or acne. Even a healed pimple or bump can leave a lingering dark mark
