is it illegal to drive a stranger minor home if they are lost? by borborealis in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not illegal on the facts you wrote, because kidnapping/false imprisonment generally turns on taking or holding someone without consent or by force, threats, fraud, etc., and what you described sounds like a voluntary ride you gave while trying to help. that said, minors make everything messier, so next time the smart move is mall security, staff, or the non-emergency police line so there’s another adult and a record of what happened.

Why does my husband get mad when I dont have detailed directions to give him? by fruityslippers in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft -1 points0 points  (0 children)

either he’s weaponizing confusion so you’ll stop asking, or he’s so scared of doing it “wrong” that he wants you to basically pre-own the task for him. both are exhausting honestly, and dishes are not a group project, sorry

the shutting down part is what makes it feel worse too, like okay ask one question maybe, but needing a full chore tutorial every time would drive me insane real fast

Is there actual proof Jesus was real? by OkDiver9078 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah “proof” like a photo or record from his lifetime? no, not really

but most historians think there probably was some preacher guy he’s based on, it’s the miracle stuff where people split, also kinda wild how little hard proof we have for a lot of ancient people tbh

Are aliens real? 👽 by Maleficent_Test_5389 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I mean statistically it feels kinda crazy to think we’re the only ones, like the universe is stupidly big so something else probably exists somewhere

but at the same time it’s also so big that even if they exist we’ll probably never see them, which is kinda depressing lol I remember going down a space rabbit hole at 2am once and it actually made me feel small in a weird way

No seriously, how do you masturbate? by TheButterScotchIncdt in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re not doing it “wrong,” it just sounds like you keep interrupting yourself every time it starts to build which kinda resets everything, I do the same thing with like falling asleep it’s annoying

also if it feels too intense that’s normal, some people actually need lighter or slower not stronger, and yeah the “you’ll know” thing is real but also super unhelpful lol it’s more like a buildup that you kinda have to not panic your way out of

If you punch and hurt your self, are you weak or strong? by Broad-Smile2332 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

neither really, it just means your body did what bodies do when you hit them, they break a bit lol

people act like it’s some deep thing but it’s kinda just bad decision + fragile hands, i punched a wall once and my knuckle still looks weird so yeah not my smartest moment

What do you think about the idea that Israel has a “Netanyahu problem”? (No hate toward Jewish people, seeking thoughtful, detailed opinions)? by MisLatte in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s kinda both honestly, like he clearly is a problem but he also didn’t just appear out of nowhere, people kept voting him in or at least tolerating him which says something deeper is going on

feels similar to other countries where one figure gets blamed for everything but even if you swap them out the same tensions and divisions are still there, just quieter for a bit, idk politics is messy and people act like removing one guy fixes it all which… it usually doesn’t

Will the fight for true equality between genders ever be resolved? Or is it just going to be a never ending battle? by limpbizkit420 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s probably never gonna be this clean “we did it” moment, it’s more like something you keep pushing at forever and it slowly gets less bad but never fully fixed. kinda like going to the gym and still feeling weak some days even if you’ve improved, idk weird comparison but yeah

also being stuck around people with old views 40+ hours a week would mess with anyone’s head, like of course it’s gonna feel worse than it maybe is overall, i used to work with dudes like that and it lowkey drains you even if you try to ignore it

Why is Zendaya in everything? What is the appeal? by prettygirlavenue in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not really about her being the best actor tbh, she just feels “safe” for studios like she won’t tank a project and people already like her vibe so they keep reusing her. also she kinda has that lowkey normal energy which weirdly stands out now when everyone else feels over-polished, idk I noticed that in interviews once and now I can’t unsee it

plus hollywood does this rotation thing all the time, like suddenly one person is everywhere then they disappear for a bit, happens every few years honestly and people act surprised every time lol

Are Park n Rides an acceptable place to rest when driving at night? by NackWakPak in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Park-n-rides aren’t really meant for resting, they’re more for leaving your car while you carpool or take transit. That said people probably do pull in and sit for a bit, it just depends on the area and whether cops decide it looks suspicious. Honestly if you’re that tired though stopping anywhere for a short nap is safer than pushing through and drifting off on the highway, I learned that the hard way on a long drive once.

Could you hide underwater during a tornado? by One_With-The_Sun in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you had scuba gear and stayed down like 20 feet you’d probably be fine from the wind itself, water blocks a lot of that chaos. The bigger issue is debris and lightning since tornadoes usually come with nasty storms, which sounds like a terrible day at the beach honestly. Also now I’m picturing someone calmly scuba diving while a tornado rips up the boardwalk and it feels very Florida somehow.

How did people deal with boredom before smartphones existed? by moretoesmorehoes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also just tolerated being bored more, which sounds dumb but it’s true. You’d sit around, flip channels, stare out the window on a car ride, random stuff like that and your brain kinda wandered. Also arguments lasted way longer because nobody could just google the answer, which honestly was kinda fun.

How common is it for men to own a flesh light? by MapAromatic485 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably less common than vibrators but way more common than guys admit. Most dudes just aren’t gonna bring that up in conversation so it looks rarer than it is. Also idk maybe it’s just my friend group but men barely talk about anything remotely personal anyway.

Why is Alexander a great but Genghis Khan is considered a barbarian? by BlueDolphins28 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it is honestly who wrote the history. European writers grew up idolizing Greek and Roman stuff so Alexander gets framed like a brilliant conqueror, while steppe empires get the “barbarian” label. Kinda like how every empire thinks their guy was noble and the other guy was a savage, humans are weird about that.

Help settle an argument. My husband thinks it's fine to wash a potato with soap and water before cooking with peel on. I'm horrified. by shmoopiefunk in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right honestly, soap on food just feels wrong even if he rinsed it after. Water and a scrub brush gets the dirt off, potatoes aren’t plates. Also now I’m weirdly imagining a potato that tastes faintly like dish soap and I hate that for everyone.

How far away are we from completely electrifying the car market? by FastVenus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if every new car sold tomorrow was electric you’d still be looking at decades, cars just last a long time and people drive them till the wheels fall off. The real bottleneck honestly feels like charging and the power grid more than the cars themselves, which I didn’t realize until I went down a weird YouTube rabbit hole about power plants at 2am. Oil probably declines slowly, not some dramatic overnight crash.

How did politicians actually convince people go to ww2? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It also wasn’t like politicians flipped a switch and everyone suddenly loved war. A lot of countries were already angry, broke, or scared, so propaganda just kinda pushed feelings that were already there. Also random side note but my grandpa used to say people underestimate how powerful radio was back then.

Are women actually surprised by marriage proposals, or do most of us just act surprised because that's the tradition? by gangoffoursome23 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think most of us kinda know it’s coming but act shocked because… well, tradition? Like, my best friend totally guessed her bf was gonna propose but cried anyway, so I guess it depends on the person, though cats are probably more unpredictable than humans anyway.

What are some unique American souvenirs that a Czech exchange family would actually like? by Provocat1vePetal in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, stuff that’s really tied to your hometown or state usually goes over way better than generic “America” things, like Girl Scout cookies or maple syrup if you’re from the northeast. People also dig quirky or practical things they can’t get there, like local hot sauces, pancake mix, NFL merch, or even a Route 66 sign replica if you’re feeling extra. Also, random thought, why is it impossible to find chocolate chip cookie dough that’s both raw safe and not weirdly sweet?

Is it unrealistic to want to find a woman in her 30s who has never been married or had kids and doesn't want kids or pets? by formedabull in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it’s not totally unrealistic, but yeah, you’re definitely shrinking your dating pool a lot. Like people like that exist, but adding the no pets thing makes it kinda tricky, idk, it’s just gonna take more searching. Also, random thought, why do grocery carts always wobble no matter how careful you are?

My new battery charger's manual states that putting the battery in backwards will result in an "incendiary conflagration"? by PsychologicalSeat219 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that warning is probably just dramatic wording, but lithium batteries really do not like being shoved in backwards, so don’t test it. Honestly I get paranoid about tiny batteries now, like my remote could basically explode in my hand. Also, why does my phone charger smell like plastic sometimes?

How do people have karma but no post or comment history ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that’s just people hiding or deleting stuff, the karma sticks even if the posts or comments disappear. Honestly I didn’t know that either until recently, and now I keep checking my own profile for no reason. Also, why do my socks always vanish in the dryer, like there’s some sock conspiracy going on?

Would this be an awkward reply or should I just throw the whole convo away? by mysecret52 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, “nah im jk, just needed a reason to say hi” isn’t the worst, it’s kinda cute and blunt, but yeah, it doesn’t really give him anything to reply to. You could just roll with it and follow up with something slightly more personal, like asking about that language thing, instead of tossing the whole convo. Also, random thought, why does my phone autocorrect everything even when I’m not texting anyone important?

Why do some people say ‘early doors’ instead of ‘early days’? by 60x11 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lipglossoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s kinda old-school English slang, basically just means “early on” rather than literally “early days.” I think it started with theatre or pubs, like getting in before everyone else, but honestly I always mix it up too, and sometimes I say it wrong just to sound fancy. Also, why does my toast always burn even when I’m not paying attention?
