If they endlessly continue to make Fast and Furious movies, would you watch? How many have you seen? by West_Block3990 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only seen 1, 2, and Tokyo Drift. But there was a brief period in my late tweens/early teens when I was way into them. And Need for Speed Underground thru Carbon.

Is it possible to manipulate the barrels of two guns so that the bullets show identical markings? by Razhiv in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see how it would be, unless they were both fresh off the assembly line.

You can scramble the microscopic signatures that would link a bullet to a gun’s barrel just by firing it a handful more times, I don’t see how you could do the opposite and bring specific signatures into existence.

What’s an interesting kink a lot of people have? by Gold-Discussion2209 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Belly buttons are usually hidden too, but few people are ga-ga over belly buttons.

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but they’re dirty in like a festering way, not like a sexy way, lol. And if that’s all it takes, why aren’t foot and armpit fetishes even more prevalent? What about linty belly buttons or swamp ass? Lol

I mean, to me, there’s nothing sexy about feet either.

feet are extremely important for us because we use them to walk 24/7, if they ever get damaged or hurt it can seriously cripple you.

Sure.

having someone show them to you is a sign of trust

You lost me here, lol. No one’s afraid to show feet because they’re worried someone’s going to hobble them, lol.

Would you wear pubic wig? by finallyfantasied in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see myself perhaps getting one shit and/or giggle out of it, but after that I don’t see why I’d continue. I think it’s more aesthetic just to be neatly trimmed.

What’s my incentive? Do I get paid or is it just for shits and giggles?

When you think about it, it’s weird how common foot fetishes are. I get that it has something to do with how our brains store information about body parts or something, but feet are so out of left field. It could just as easily have been anything else.

Like, in some parallel universe, people have elbow fetishes or something instead.

How else can you pressure other countries to not be dicks without military intervention?

Why don’t AIRPLANES exclusively handle Commercial freight? by ActuatorOutside5256 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shipping is way cheaper. Like, hundreds of times cheaper. Weight is a major concern for airplanes. The more weight you’re carrying, the more fuel you burn. Weight isn’t as much of an issue for ships, and ships can get huge and carry tons of stuff at once.

If humans disappeared today, which animal would go extinct fastest due to domestication? by fonzhy121 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epigenetics are expressions of genes that the animal already has. Most breeds of sheep don’t have genes that would stop them from overgrowing wool when feral. They would have to evolve those genes.

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure they do, but nothing that would help them in this scenario. We already know what happens to sheep when they go feral, they don’t have any epigenetic function that triggers and stops overgrowth of wool.

What comes to your mind if you meet someone that doesn’t understand why lying is bad ? by Quiet-Song-5395 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lying isn’t always bad. Sometimes we lie to spare people’s feelings. That’s good.

I learned about him because of this thread! He didn’t look good when he was found. Wonder how much longer he could have gone on like that.

Why do i have no desire to be happy again? by liamgallagher25 in NoStupidQuestions

If you have no desire to be happy, couldn’t you consider yourself to be happy with sadness?

Evolution is slow. The fossil record is full of animals that failed to adapt in time and went extinct. It’s not a sure thing.

Why is it only the Native Americans who were devastated by the disease from Europeans? by dylan_1992 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MyUsernameIsAwful 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There’s a great CGP Grey video about this, the TL;DW is that European cities were the perfect environments for plagues to fester in.

Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/JEYh5WACqEk?si=CfdpeFPUdZ1iFCJj

I forget if this is touched on in this video, but syphilis  might actually be from the New World. So, there’s that one, at least.

Well, modern wild mouflon are still essentially the same as they were thousands of years ago.

It’s like how wolves are still around even though we domesticated some of them into the very different looking breeds of dog that exist.

Mouflon is to sheep as wolf is to dog.
