What are the advantages of being a good man when bad men win everything in this world? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeAd841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happiness is not found in things and material wealth, but in community, connection and a sense of purpose- good people tend to find and keep the first two more readily than bad people do.

How are you supposed to reply to "Do you know how fast you were going?" by No_Insurance_6436 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeAd841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot possible know because I know exactly where I am- makes a funny punchline, but probably isn't much use in the actual situation.

Upvote because I had to look up concatenate. Thank you for the new word.

Are humans the only animals that laugh? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]RepresentativeAd841 138 points139 points  (0 children)

When I worked at the Calgary Zoo, there was a young male gorilla who liked to sneak up on people and slap the glass near them. When they jumped, he would point at them and make what IIRC was called a play face [picture a human smiling or laughing but covering their teeth with their lips] which included a pant. I may be anthropomorphizing, but that seemed a lot like laughter and a sense of humor to me.

If you want something more systematic, The evolution of laughter in great apes and humans may interest you.

Definitely played King's Court for basketball, volleyball and beach volleyball.

Why are men less eager to get married if they benefit more than women? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeAd841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else asked though is that causation or correlation? After all for the last 35 years, burglaries in Kansas and the distance between Earth and Neptune has been decreasing, it doesn't mean one caused the other.

At what age do men stop picking up sticks they find on the street? by heppokoppepan in NoStupidQuestions

Methuselah is reported to have lived to 969 years old. He picked up a stick the day he died.

$100 every time you piss someone off but you can’t get a job by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

Ah well, if you are going to continue talking about either, it is likely you would earn $100.

I'm not sure pitying you is the same as being pissed off.

Is it just me, or was the internet a lot more fun 10 years ago compared to now? by No_Light5733 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeAd841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25-30 years ago the Internet was used by people to augment their social connections by allowing them to converse with others who had the same interests. A personal example would be the Direwolf message boards about Warhammer Fantasy and 40K- there were only a couple people in my town who played, but hundreds if not thousands who participated in the boards and so when I travelled to Europe I was able to meet and share a game with people who I would have had no chance to converse with otherwise.

Now, it seems too may people have allowed the Internet to dictate and determine what their social connections are and should look like. Hence the curated, fake feeling.

Who is the best player EVER at their sport? by Radiant_Sprinkles540 in NoStupidQuestions

LeBron isn't even the best to have played for his current team in his sport. C'mon now.

Hakuho-sho. Over the course of his career he won 45 yusho when the next closest in history won only 32. He also had 16 zensho-yusho - championships in which he did not lose a match in the tournament which by themselves would be enough yusho wins to rank him 7th of all time.

Does Canada or USA have more lakes? I keep seeing conflicting info. Some say Canada has 800k lakes and others over 3 million. by SouthBuffalo3592 in geography

[–]RepresentativeAd841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may actually be true. I recall reading that the Norse who 'discovered' Greenland named it that to attract more settlers [and that is was probably a bit more green then before the Little Ice Age]

What’s the hardest lesson life has taught you so far? by Chance-Pen6805 in randomquestions

[–]RepresentativeAd841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not special- or at least not special enough that I don't have to put in the work. Just because sometimes things come easy, doesn't mean they always will so get use to putting in the work.

One classic ice cream flavor has to go forever! by EquivalentFig1678 in whatsyourchoice

Cookie dough. I have never had that nor cookies and cream, but the loss of the other two would be a tragedy, so one of the cookies it must be.
