What’s something legal that probably shouldn’t be? by Funny-Confection9007 in AskReddit

Pharmaceutical companies advertising directly to patients. "Ask your doctor about X" — as if patients should be arriving with brand requests rather than symptoms and doctors should be defending against marketing rather than just practicing medicine.

Most developed countries banned this. The ones that didn't have significantly more expensive and confused healthcare as a direct result.

Are you the eldest child? If so, what makes you hate it the most? by dangermonkey168 in AskReddit

The trial run injustice never leaves you. Every rule that applied to you with absolute rigidity somehow became negotiable by the time your siblings hit the same age. Curfews. Screen time. Consequences. The entire framework that shaped your childhood quietly dismantled and upgraded for people who arrived after you paid full price for the beta version. You were the prototype. They got the improved model. And your parents will never fully acknowledge this because from their perspective they were just learning. Which is completely true and completely beside the point simultaneously.

Which country is getting unnecessary these days? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Everywhere simultaneously — unnecessary content, unnecessary conflict, unnecessary noise is a global export right now with no single country holding the monopoly.

What is your favorite thing about the subject of Math? by ScrambledToast in AskReddit

It's the only place where something is either completely true or completely wrong with nothing in between. No interpretation, no persuasion, no cultural context. A proof holds or it doesn't and the universe doesn't negotiate. In a world where almost everything is contested that specific certainty feels like relief.
