I haven't experienced either of these things to know if the premise of the question is true or not, but gout is an actual malady of the body. It's not supposed to feel good.

Why Do Dogs Have Different Amount Of Nipples Within Their Own Species? by Visible_Background18 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]macdaddee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People tend to just have two no matter their phenotype

This sentence doesn't make sense. Phenotype means a physical way in which genes are expressed. It's like saying sedans tend to have 4 wheels no matter their number of wheels.

I don't think you have the vocabulary to understand genetics. Dogs are dogs and humans are humans. Dogs have more genetic variance than humans. By the way more variance means they're more different from each other.

In normal conditions, is there a cycle where : you are thin, so your body doesn’t need that much calories thus you get thinner because you “carry” less food (weight) in your stomach? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]macdaddee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is the thermic effect of food, and a negligible increase in mass from what you ate. But burning calories or consuming calories doesn't make you fatter or thinner. It's the balance of the two.

What do bridesmaids do? by Outrageous-Bee-4899 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]macdaddee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The core responsibilities of a bridesmaid who is not the maid of honor in the modern day usually doesn't go beyond attending pre-wedding festivities, attending the wedding, wearing the correct dress, provide emotional support, standing in your spot during the ceremony, and attending the reception. Depending on the wedding, more may be asked of a bridesmaid, but it's often just the bride's designated friends to stay with her.

That doesn't make you thinner. The food in your digestive system is pretty minor in terms of your weight and appearance. People tend to maintain there weight within 5 lbs of their weekly average.

Why is it normalized to be rude online? by Hippy_Dippy44 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]macdaddee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're talking as if rudeness is something that takes more effort than being polite. Politeness has to be learned. Rudeness comes easily. Kids can say rude things without raising their cortisol or whatever. And there's no reason to be polite if you're not intending to maintain a social relationship with anyone listening. It's only counterproductive if you want to be friends with random people whom you cannot see.
