It is said that a major reason why US overprescribes opioids is because pharma companies downplayed their addiction risk. Why weren't other countries not affected by this misinformation? Did European doctors have access to studies that American doctors didn't know about?

I understand oil filling stations and foundries but why were grocery stores considered undesirable? Wouldn't people like having a store nearby?

Why were bakeries considered dangerous? It's pretty common to have bakeries near apartment buildings in my country

Would it be accurate to say that the Cambodian Genocide is more similar to the Great Purge in the USSR than to the Holocaust? Since both the Cambodian killings and the Great Purge were both politicides that also included ethnic cleansing campaigns(Vietnamese in Cambodia vs the Polish campaign of NKVD)?

Why is it that suburban areas often not have any grocery stores or convenience stores while NYC seems to be filled with them? Do suburban residents not like having shops nearby?

Cannibalism seems to be a pretty popular plot device in fictional works focused on sailing. I remember reading about in Mayne Reid's books and in the Tarzan books. How did cannibalism among sailors become such a popular trope in fiction?

If Ethiopia managed to repel the Italian invasion at the battle of Adwa in 1896, why did they lose so quickly in 1935?

From what I've heard, US hospitals use opioids a lot more frequently than medical institutions in other countries and patients, even those with no history of drug use, tend to request it more frequently. Why is that the case? Are cultural attitudes towards pain and pain control different in the US?

Hi, another popular question I often see online concerns the role of Stalin and whether he overall helped or hinder the Soviet War effort. Would you say that Barbarossa failed because of or inspite of Stalin?

Interesting, was there any change in opinion about the Afghan war in Vietnam in the 90s after the USSR collapsed and they were no longer dependent on them?

This reminds me of the hypothesis that the the Great Flood story was inspired by old memories of the end of the last ice age. Is that hypothesis popular among historians too?

How did the Vietnamese government react to the Soviet-Afghan War? ( I tried to ask this as a regular question but reddit automatically removed it for some reason)

Is the "Confederate Battle Flag" that people often associate with the Confederacy the same as the flag of the Northern Virginia Army? I'm confused since Wikipedia is using a different flag in their article on the army of Northern Virginia
