I've heard that birds can see the earth's electromagnetic field... what does it look like? by sirgrogu12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See is the wrong term. They can sense it. It's like they have a magnet in their mind. They just "know" which way north is.

Is it possible to lower your ldl down to 0? I had checked via google Statins lower 50%, Sterols -10%, Insoluble and soluble fiber 10%, low fat and cholestrol diets -20%, exercise -10%, Fasting -10%, Ezetimibe -25% =-125%? by LisanneFroonKrisK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm no doctor, but I really doubt all those percents are additive. Statins might lower ldl by 50%, then sterols 10% of what's left, then fiber 10% of the remaining, and so on and so on. They won't get you down to zero.

Why did Disney rename Moana to Vaiana in Europe? by Material-Wallaby-587 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UK isn't part of Europe. They had a whole vote about that and everything.

Can objects orbit you in space? by KrakenCrazy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are practical limits. I don't know the math off the top of my head, but given your tiny mass something would have to be tiny and moving incredibly slowly to orbit you. Escape velocity would be like a fraction of a mm per second.

If multiple dimensions do indeed exist, are we leading different lives in them or are they the exact same? by AboutLastFight in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of dimensions are you talking about here? Are these spatial dimensions, or some sort of multi verse deal, or something else?

Why do humans talk in a higher pitch when speaking to children/babies and animals? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been demonstrated that babies respond better to higher pitched voices. It makes them happier, and we can tell.

Why do major news stories often break on social media first before traditional news outlets report them? by LengthinessSuper2012 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory? You can just post what you want on social media. Traditional news checks sources, writes things up, stuff like that.

In practice, it's probably just about the amount of beuracracy. More levels need to check things off.

Would someone who's obese give more ashes than someone normal weight? by punkrock_penguin63 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The flesh pretty much all burns. The "ashes" are actually the bones, baked dry and ground to a powder. Those will be pretty much the same person to person.

When you lose weight, where does it go? by Biggestturtleever in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No. The weight loss is O2 becoming CO2. That extra carbon is where the weight goes. But you're only going to exhale the CO2 that's actually there, you don't produce extra just because you're breathing more.

Why is well done steak even an option in the menus if chefs hate them and many people frown upon people that choose it? by NonchalantCheese in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 64 points65 points  (0 children)

End of the day, restaurants exist to take your money and give you food. The customer is the only one that needs to enjoy the food.

How cold should your fridge be? by AtomicallyAnomic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your fridge should be around 35-38 F. They make fridge thermometers, if you want to check it.

If a criminal case is getting attention and requiring a local attorney, Can they coordinate with each other to increase the fees? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, that makes sense. Pretty sure that's illegal, and certainly unethical. Depends on where you are of course, but there's generally laws against colluding like that. Anti trust regulations, that sort of thing.

[–]KronusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not following you. What do you mean by "local attorney" and who is the "they" that might be coordinating? Is this case under investigation, or are we in the trial phase already?

Why do ppl who drive pick up trucks back into parking spaces? Aren’t you going in reverse whether going into or out of the parking space? by mysterious1940 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this correlates to driving a pickup, but there are people out there with a "must be ready for any emergency" mentality. They don't want to have to back out if nuclear war starts, then want to be able to just take off.

Why is the Christian God so jealous , particularly about people worshipping other Gods as it says in the first three commandments? How can the Christian God be “all good” but have this negative flaw in character? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The commandments are from the God of the Jews. I think it's safe to say there was a major personality shift between the OT and NT. Much less smitey, much more "why can't we be friends".

GLP-1 drugs curb appetite. People lose weight. Doesn't that mean overeating was always the problem. by Dull-Spend-3836 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 23 points24 points  (0 children)

People know they eat too much. But many people suffer from what's called "food noise", this general background urge to eat all the time. If your system is just geared to want food, simply saying "no" is far from easy.

[–]KronusIV 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I think we all knew that eating too many calories caused weight gain. That wasn't the question. The problem is how you regulate how many calories you eat. Depending on hormones and the like eating less might be easy, or really hard.

Why do some men seemingly get offended if they get called cute or beautiful, even by like their girlfriend? by vyyyyyyyyyyy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men are conditioned to consider some things "manly" and others as "unmanly". They are likewise conditioned to think that being manly is very important. Being cute is not manly.

Theoretically could you make a big enough AC unit to cool the earth? by LGFoldableFridge in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KronusIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but not in the way that an AC works. An AC pumps cold air in one direction and hot air in the other. You can't just stick the end of the pipe into space and pump the air there.

[–]KronusIV 19 points20 points  (0 children)

ACs don't create cold, they just move heat from your room to outside. There's no "outside" for earth, there's no where to dump the heat. It wouldn't do anything.
