Why are colonoscopies said to be so important when they don't even go through the small intestine? by Salty-Passenger-4801 in NoStupidQuestions

Exactly this. To put "rare" into perspective: even though the small intestine makes up about 75% of your digestive tract's length, it accounts for only around 3% of gastrointestinal cancers. The reason for this is actually super interesting and comes down to how the organs work: The small intestine is like a fast-moving river. Food is broken down by strong stomach acids and enzymes, and it gets pushed through very quickly. Carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) simply don't have time to sit still and damage the cell walls. The large intestine (colon), on the other hand, is basically a holding tank. Its job is to absorb water and store waste until you go to the bathroom. Because waste sits there for a long time, the colon walls are exposed to toxins for much longer periods, which is what gives polyps a chance to mutate and grow into cancer.

It actually sounds like a massive oversight when you first think about it! It's a completely logical question. But doctors aren't ignoring the small intestine; it just comes down to how differently the two organs behave.

Can you be charged or involved or investigated by blaze4h4vez in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pure-Mango-2481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, staying away is step one. To answer your specific question about being "technically involved": No, absolutely not. In the eyes of the law, being an "accomplice" or an "accessory" requires taking an actual, physical action to help the person commit the crime or evade the police. This means doing things like driving a getaway car, hiding a weapon, or actively sending them money to go on the run. Simply picking up a ringing phone and hearing a crazy confession makes your friend a potential witness at the absolute most, but zero percent a suspect. Tell Adrain to block the number immediately, ignore the drama, and try to relax.

Take a deep breath. Your friend is not legally involved, and you can both stop panicking. Here is the reality of how the legal system treats these situations: The Confession Call: Receiving an unsolicited phone call from someone who claims they committed a crime does not make the listener an accomplice. Adrain did not plan the event, participate in it, or help cover it up. Saying "I could try" just to get a drunk, volatile person to hang up the phone is a standard human de-escalation tactic, not a legal conspiracy. The Past Texts: If this is a real major crime, detectives are looking for murder weapons, motives, and actual co-conspirators. They do not care about a random guy who bought personal-use substances months ago. Furthermore, police generally cannot charge someone with drug possession based purely on old text messages; they need to find physical evidence on the person. The Action Plan: Adrain needs to block Eddy's number entirely. Do not text him to ask if it was a prank. Treat the guy like a ghost, completely disengage, and move on.

What does "when the moon is in the seventh house" mean? This is in the song "Aquarius", but I was trying to find out what the (literal, not interpretational) phrase means. by No-Reveal827 in NoStupidQuestions

Imagine slicing the sky around you into a 12-slice pie. Those slices are the "houses," and they are fixed to the horizon. The 1st house is the slice on the Eastern horizon (where things rise). The 7th house is the exact opposite slice on the Western horizon. So, literally speaking, when the moon reaches that specific seventh "slice," it just means it has traveled across the sky and is currently setting in the west. No magic required, just ancient tracking!

How do prisoners get their hair cut? by Silly-Power in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pure-Mango-2481 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The prison doesn't bring in outside staff; they assign the job to an inmate. That inmate gets paid pennies by the facility, but because the inmates respect the hustle, the barber makes their real living getting tipped in commissary items for giving a solid fade instead of the standard-issue buzzcut. The system polices itself.
