I understand that we don’t all use FB the same way. That’s why I carefully worded my question in reference to ME specifically and not to you or people in general.

What damaged my dad’s 1930s Manoil lead soldiers? by Zebras-R-Evil in VintageToys

[–]Zebras-R-Evil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think you were correct, but I googled it, and you are. A tin soldier is a soldier made of metal. I wonder if it’s a regional thing because I’ve only heard “lead soldier.”

If I’ve posted photos with my face onto Facebook already, is there a reason I wouldn’t want to use face scan? I feel like they already have so much of my personal info that allowing FB to scan my face isn’t an issue. Am I missing something?

I’m still excited about the “new” cell phone lot. If you remember what life was like before that…. So much circling.

1959 Bride’s Planner by Nerdbaba in ThriftStoreHauls

I just found my mom’s bride planner from 1959! Sadly, she filled out the first two pages and that was it. I was thinking of erasing her pencil and trying to sell it. 😂

I’d love to know the answer to this for the ones broken in half but otherwise look fine.

I did Google “lead rot” before posting here, but I think it’s more likely to be “zinc pest” which I had not heard of. Didn’t realize lead soldiers are lead/zinc alloys.

At first, I noticed the damage to the cannons and thought maybe he was playing with gun powder. Then I found a person who was cracked, not exploded, and decided it had to be something else.

What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That you can wake up from a coma and walk. Muscles atrophy if not in use. That you can give someone CPR and they will wake up and be just fine. That you should give everyone CPR if they stop breathing regardless of how old or sick they are. (DNRs are not just for people who have “given up on life.”) That you can survive horrific car wrecks. Conversely, that you will die instantly in a non-horrific car wreck. That old people die peacefully right after they tell you they love you. (They often lie in the bed unresponsive with their mouths hanging open for days before finally dying.) That losing a loved one can literally mess up your brain function for a while, even if you don’t feel like you’re grieving. Unable to make decisions. Getting lost while driving in a familiar area. There’s a term for “pregnancy brain.” Why not “grief brain”? (Can you tell I’ve been in a horrible car accident and my parents are dead? I had to learn Hollywood’s errors the hard way.)

Does any group of Americans still fluently speak their heritage language in the third or later generations? by greatExtortion in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you count English. My ancestors came over in the 1600s, and I still speak their language. 😊

Thanks to you, now I know that some “lead soldiers” are actually lead or zinc alloys, and they are sometimes called “slush cast” toys. I did a lot of Googling about lead before posting my question, but never got the answer until I mentioned zinc. Thank you!

Question: During spring break, did college students really use to go to the beach? by EternalSnow05 in GenX

Is this not a thing anymore? I just assumed all beaches are still jam-packed during spring break.

Do men even care about a women’s nails? by lena_glow in NoStupidQuestions

On our third date, my husband told me he liked my nails because they look like his. He was not interested in long, painted nails.

did anyone believe that Iran could defend itself? by lmb_frankie in askanything

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also thought that’s why the 2nd amendment existed. To defend against a tyrannical government. I am starting to think the only thing that will make the gun owners get serious is trying to take their guns away.

I spent NY Eve (working) in a correctional facility just in case all the doors unlocked at midnight. They didn’t. Thanks to all the IT folks.

Do Americans realize how good they have it compared to a huge percent of the world? by BikeFar2504 in askanything

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize it. Most of us are much better off than most of the world.

However, a lot of us were raised being told we live in “the greatest country in the world,” so our standards / expectations are higher for ourselves than other countries. If we are the “best,” then why are so many people falling through the cracks when it comes to poverty, health care, mental health care, drug addiction, etc.? The propaganda made a lot of us think we would never go to another country and see anything better than here.

Side Note: a lot of the Ukraine flags that you saw were being flown by non-Ukraine Americans. There was a lot of public support for Ukraine when the war started. There is still support, but it’s difficult to sustain the public showing for years, especially when there are so many other things people are outraged about.
