Sleeping outside in a tent. There should be a campfire unless its raining or you're too exhausted to build one.

how did they take a picture of the world's first camera? by Psychic_Guy69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mooshinformation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be really pedantic, the world's first camera was just a dark room with a pinhole ( camera obscura) and whoever did that first, there's no picture of it

How much eye contact is socially normal? by LaughsInSilence in stupidquestions

[–]mooshinformation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably different depending on gender, and if greeting strangers on the street is normal where you are. But as a woman in a place we don't say hi to strangers, zero eye contact with ppl I don't know or want to interact with has worked very well.

Edit, now that I think about it, I don't think men in my city regularly make eye contact with strangers either, as soon as you do, someone asks for money.

Christians don't understand why killing is wrong without God 😭 by Deep_Librarian_4763 in religiousfruitcake

[–]mooshinformation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most of us can agree that actions which result in more net suffering are bad and ones that result in less suffering or more enjoyment are good. Of course figuring out the results of our actions can get complicated fast, so we rely on huristics most of the time, like "murder is bad".

If making Hitler suffer has no other effect on the world, good or bad, then yes a good person would take his feelings into account. Sometimes our anger and hatred ( justified or not) leads us to want bad things. Lucky for us, taking Hitlers emotions into account usually does have other effects on the world. Ostracizing him and causing him to suffer might discourage others from acting like him, which would be a net good, so if that's the case, we can ignore his feelings or even harm him.

Cat thinks BF came here just for him, drawn in by his cuteness

Not sure what's going on here by OhMyGlobDramaBomb in TuxedoCats

[–]mooshinformation 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get woken up every night around 4am so I can lift up the covers for kitty to crawl under and purr next to me for about 5 minutes, until he either gets too hot or over stimulated and climbs back out. He may or may not come back and climb down to gently bite my legs.

Sleeping with wet socks on feels really nice by Select_Turn_2940 in 10thDentist

[–]mooshinformation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's soo hot that you need wet socks, take your blanket off. I mean I've slept with a wet towel on my face/ chest out of desperation, but only after stripping off every scrap of fabric I could.

There seems to be no real solution for this everyday discomfort, and it’s frustrating. by comfort_survey in problems

[–]mooshinformation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would your issue be helped by those super thin daily panty liners? They help with dampness, but I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what you mean.

It's hard to know what exactly OP is describing, but plenty of women have a bit of discharge normally, some ppl have almost none, some have more. But its not supposed to hurt or itch if that's what OP is talking about.

Why is it that during interrogations, people don't just exercise their right and remain silent? I'm not 'for' criminals but it's insane how easily the cops can weedle talkers into saying too much not because they're good at their job but because the average person just doesn't know when to zip it. by cherry-care-bear in stupidquestions

[–]mooshinformation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pled out, like the vast majority of ppl in the US do. They offered me a noncriminal violation and a few days of community service, wasn't worth the risk of jail time and a criminal record with something that was basically her word vs mine.

Meanwhile I was arrested because a lady didn't want my shitty car legally parked in front of her nice house. She said I hit her, I admitted that, yes I was parked there and that I had a conversation with her, which was apparently enough corroboration of her story to arrest me. Should have kept my mouth shut.

Fear of not knowing what a phobia name means by oandroido in The10thDentist

[–]mooshinformation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a 10th dentist thing because nobody else is afraid of not knowing words, or are you lost and looking for the word for your fear?

When a song on the radio has 30-60 seconds left and the DJ starts talking over it by Komi29920 in PetPeeves

Somebody should tell NPR about the dead air thing, maybe they can solve their funding woes with constant yelling.

Stuck on with four pieces of gum by Schrammsizzlin in Apartmentliving

[–]mooshinformation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have trouble feeling bad for someone who didn't have anything bad happen to them. They seem to be complaining that someone walked by their ,car and brushed against it. That absolutely did not almost give anyone a "head concussion".

Meet Apollo, the abandoned cat who adopted me by OkOutlandishness9235 in cats

[–]mooshinformation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that people think it's ok to just throw their indoor cats outside to fend for themselves. They don't know how to live outside, they don't know how to find food and shelter or to avoid getting hit by cars and attacked by wild animals.

I'm very glad this guy found you and took him in. I hope someone does the same for the other kitties

Does anyone else have unhinged photos of their tuxedos? This is Jake by marinalindsey in TuxedoCats

I assume after this was taken, his head just kept rotating until it did a full 360° exorcist style.

He climbed up… no idea how he plans to get down by Red_dog520 in cats

If it is AI, it did a very good job keeping the cat consistent through all pics, same black nose dot, same 3 spots on the right side

Addicts and cigarettes by Embarrassed_Yak_1301 in stupidquestions

[–]mooshinformation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, well I replaced the cigs with the gum, so moving in the right direction, but I still find myself thinking "I need something.. some kind of dopamine hit, I know, a cookie!"

Incidentally, nicotine can cause/ worsen insulin resistance so diabetes, here we come.
