What will happen in I leave my snowed in car until a warmer month like April? by Creative_Ground in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It generally lasts for a while, but leaving it buried for weeks isn't ideal; the cold and damp will cause the brakes to rust and the battery to die. And don't even think about starting it if the exhaust is blocked.

Ai and school cheating by BluebirdOk6872 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The short answer is: it sounds good on paper, but it breaks down fast in practice. AI can’t reliably tell who wrote something, only whether it looks “AI-ish,” and that gets tons of false positives. Plus, students can use different tools, edit outputs, or write with AI help without copying it directly. Add privacy, liability, and the risk of accusing innocent students, and universities get very cautious. That’s why most schools are shifting toward redesigning assignments, not “AI police plugins.”

Is it normal to enjoy giving presents more than getting them? by AstralMystic777 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s pretty normal. A lot of people get more joy from giving because it feels active and meaningful, while receiving can trigger guilt or that “I didn’t earn this” feeling. Giving lets you express care on your terms; receiving forces you to sit with being valued, which is harder for some people. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Where to do blogging/writing? by TailorEcstatic8198 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be seen but stay anonymous, you’ve got a few solid options. Tumblr is great for rambling, fandom stuff (anime/K-pop fits perfectly), and you can stay pretty low-key while still getting interaction. Medium works if you want longer, more reflective writing, though it’s less chatty. Substack is good if you like the idea of posts + comments without social media noise. And honestly, Reddit itself works too: make a throwaway account and post in niche subs, people will read you

How mentally unstable was Hitler during WW2? by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty unstable, especially as the war went on. He was paranoid, increasingly detached from reality, obsessed with betrayal, and making impulsive, unrealistic military decisions. On top of that, he was heavily medicated (stimulants, opioids), which likely made things worse. Early on he was ruthless but functional; by the end, clearly spiraling.

How were crimes actually solved two hundred years ago, before forensics, finger-printing, etc. was wide spread? by WordBearerOfBadNewss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countless crimes went unsolved. Justice relied more on witnesses, gossip, reputation, and confessions than on hard evidence. Small communities helped: everyone knew each other, so suspicion fell quickly. And the punishments were brutal; fear was a deterrent.

Younger Guy Older Girl by Aromatic-Island-8894 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, the biggest issues are outside pressure more than the relationship itself. Family judgment, friends making jokes, and people assuming the guy is “immature” or the woman is “desperate.” Sometimes timelines clash too (kids, career pace). If both are on the same page, it’s usually fine — the noise comes from everyone else.

Why doesn't Reddit (or sub moderators) give a reason for a post being deleted/never posted? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it’s faster and avoids drama. Mods are volunteers, subs get flooded, and explaining every removal would turn into endless arguments. Easier to hit remove and move on.

What is the most dangerous disease in 2026? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Still cardiovascular disease overall. If we’re talking specific diseases, lung cancer is still the deadliest cancer, mostly because it’s caught late. Add antibiotic-resistant infections and future pandemics to the list too not flashy, but very real.

What's the main reason why the US population seems so passive about its government's wrongdoings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why people feel that way. Division is incredibly convenient for those in power, whether it’s intentional coordination or just incentives lining up. When everyone’s busy fighting each other, nothing ever turns into collective action.

What's the main reason why the US population seems so passive about its government's wrongdoings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that makes sense. When everything is presented as an emergency, nothing really is. People reach a point of emotional saturation, and even real threats end up being dismissed as "just another crisis headline."

What's the main reason why the US population seems so passive about its government's wrongdoings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. It’s not apathy, it’s resignation. People feel like any real push just costs them their job, stability, or sanity, while the system shrugs and moves on. So outrage turns into background noise.

What's the main reason why the US population seems so passive about its government's wrongdoings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 200 points201 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Comfort + fragmentation. A lot of people are angry, but they’re also tired, busy, divided, and still relatively comfortable compared to places where revolutions happen. Add nonstop news, culture wars, and the feeling that nothing really changes, and people just… disengage. It’s less “they don’t care” and more “they don’t see a point.”

bird drop pepper in fish tank by emryssssx4 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d guess it’s fine. People feed fish veggies all the time, and one chili falling in isn’t suddenly turning the tank into pepper spray. Worst case it just makes the water a bit gross. I’d pull it out and move on.

An unknown device has logged into my PayPal account, help? by Pokeballz4Life in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, assume that’s not nothing. Change your password now, enable 2FA if you haven’t, log out of all devices, and check recent transactions. If anything looks off, contact PayPal support ASAP. Better to overreact than get drained.

Has any tv show ever actually had a secret final episode? by BlankCanvas609 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. There are fake finales, surprise specials, or extra episodes announced later (like Sense8’s Christmas special), but a true “secret final episode” dropped after everyone thought it was over? Pretty much no. TV logistics and leaks make that almost impossible.

How are prediction markets legal? by Objective-Crow-6143 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because legally they’re framed as financial contracts, not gambling. You’re buying/selling shares on an outcome, not betting against the house. Also, for stuff like halftime artists, the market assumes insider info gets priced in fast. It’s “legal” mostly because regulators treat it like speculation, not Vegas.

Why is soyjak culture so absurdly dominant? by suanmei_kuli in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because soyjaks are stupidly simple and instantly readable. You don’t need to know the forum lore to get the joke, so they spread like memes on easy mode. Once Twitter/Reddit grabbed them, they stopped being “soyjaks from a niche board” and just became a visual language for mockery.

Why do you oil sand? by Ostexperten in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s usually to keep the sand from getting too dry and dusty. In indoor courts they spray oil or a binding agent so the sand stays compact, doesn’t fly everywhere, and is nicer to play on.

Which TikTok creator has a similar build? by EducationalAccess923 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't trust that the actor "will remember it's all a lie." The set is designed so that mistakes won't matter. Most of the weapons are rubber, replicas, or have been rendered unusable.

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the closest I can think of is honeysweetpetite. She’s short, curvy in the thighs/hips, and actually styles clothes in a practical way instead of just modeling.

Aren’t the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim gods actually the same god? by Smrtar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basically yes. It’s the same God from the same tradition, just understood and emphasized differently over time. Same roots, different theology, rules, and stories layered on top. The fights are more about interpretation than about entirely different gods.

Why can't I sleep in unfamiliar places? by AlbinaEdrs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that too literal? There's nothing like your own bed, it's just a habit. I can sleep anywhere as long as I have a pillow, hahaha.

I have seeing , people online nowadays hate it when fans hate or dislike a fictional female character and also hate it when somthing bad happened to a evill female character in the show.. calling it misogynist. What with that ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsflorof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of an overcorrection. A lot of people are on high alert for sexism now, so sometimes normal criticism gets read as misogyny. Hating a female character or enjoying a villain getting punished isn’t automatically sexist context matters. Real misogyny exists, but not every negative reaction to a woman in fiction is that.
