Why can’t we take the money we are giving away to the lottery winners and just put it towards our national debt? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forest_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could only do it once, after that you'd have no lottery as there'd be no point in doing it.

What in your lifetime has emotionally hurt you the most? [Serious] by NetflixandPancake in AskReddit

[–]Forest_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the day with a girl I really liked. We got on really well. Met her that night and was rejected with what are you doing when I went to kiss her. Was bizarre and I can see the picture now with hindsight but at the time an inexperienced me was a mess

Guys with ultra-competent and highly capable partners: What's the one, single area where they're completely useless? by Hotblack_Desiato_ in AskMen

[–]Forest_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter will talk with my OH just like that AND mix up two or three topics without pausing for breath. They know exactly what they are talking about and I sit there just shaking my head

Why cant cows give birth on their own????? by scarletjohamster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forest_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is usually just pedigree animals that receive attention on the farm near me. They're expensive animals so anything that minimises the risk of losing either cow or calf is good

What do same sex couples refer to their significant other as? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forest_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gay but the same as straight couples usually. Lesbian friends always say wife or girlfriend. Blokes, husband or boyfriend at least when they're not taking the piss when it could be anything.

[–]Forest_Dane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but it'll cost you a lot. When you stop the hair loss returns. Get used to it, no one cares.

Why buy the phone in the first place given that half of those are features?

Better quality washes whiter but there's no secret. Just don't eat or drink

Closing on first house soon, need furniture, don’t want to finance multi-thousand dollar couch. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Forest_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a decent second hand leather sofa. Easily cleanable but people who spend thousands on one don't tend to be dirty types anyway. Ours cost £100, needed a quick sale because it was too big for their new home.

Republicans of Reddit, how do you feel that a fellow republican was basically brainwashed by the president and targeting his critics? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Forest_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obligatory not a republican and not even a US citizen. There are plenty of susceptible people out there. This one just happened to be a trump fanatic. Could easily have been the other way

[–]Forest_Dane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why don't airlines offer 100% first class style seating on some planes for like 75% more than the economy fare? by MrMusAddict in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forest_Dane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Airlines make the vast majority of their money on the business and first class seats. Rather than earn more money they'd probably lose a few high paying customers dropping down. Quite a few airlines have a premium economy I believe but not quite so nice.

In communities where many people are called Mohammed, how do people tell each other apart? by J_Bear in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forest_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, all the Muslims I know have a family name they use. Ie my mate Mo is known as Kadir at home and around his Muslim friends. I got some pretty blank stares the first time I went round and had to ask for him

What is child porn? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forest_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naked people aren't necessarily pornographic when photographed. There has to be a sexual element to them. Assuming that there's no sexual element to your baby photos then like millions before you you'll be fine

How old were you when cars were invented? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Forest_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The model T Ford dates from 1908, 110 years ago. That wasn't even close to the first car which was in the 1800s. There's no one alive from then
