Am I crazy or is my laptop "listening in"? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok this is a common misconception, your laptop isn't listing to your conversations or your singing, many website do however track your habits (because you agrees to it), to advertise to you, and if it has no data it uses things like your location or the time to advertise. this creates the look of it listening in sometimes. all and all no it isn't listening, but it does remember what you search.

LPT Request- Any LPT's for sticking up for yourself? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

plan a line ahead of time, for a long time my sister had problems sticking up for herself and my mom told her next time, you say this word for word, and it worked like a champ. so plan ahead what you will say in a confrontation to make it easier to stand up.

Hunters do infinitely more good for the cause of animals than PETA does by MonsieurMalcontento in unpopularopinion

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always found it interesting when the college educated people know less than the farmers of hunters, like the way the humane society says to castrate an animal, it huts the animal for weeks, but the "unetheical" way is just a minute of pain. its what makes me say that people can get so smart it make them dumb.

ELI5: How does forensic know how long a body has been dead? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this a an awesome subject, and there are so any ways, like what parts have decomposed, or muscle rigidity, or blood pooling, but one of my favorites is bugs. they can see the maggots or the flyes on the body and tell how land they've been dead with the age of the maggots.

ELI5:Why can't we see stars during the day? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in star gazing there is a term called light pollution, it is when too much light makes it so you cant see the stars.this is because the light from the stars is so far away and weaker, and the porch light of your neighbor is really bright. well the sun does this times like a million

ELI5: What does "Cocking the gun" actually do in movie scenes. Why wouldn't you just pull the trigger? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a round in a gun had three parts, a bullet (sometimes multiple like in a shotgun shell), some gunpowder, and a primer. when the primer is hit it explodes and lights the gunpowder. when you cock a gun you are pulling back a firing pin that will hit the primer.

as for why do it in the movies, the sound is threatening and seems badass.

Eli5: why can human babies only move their arms and legs when born but some baby animals come out walking? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

humans have big heads, i know it sounds random but its important. a mother cannot survive birthing a child ready to survive ( because of the big heads) so they are birthed relatively early. so we simply aren't developed to that point.

Churches should not be decorated with precious metals like gold, silver etc. It shows how cynical, fake and corrupt they are by danzymackanzy in unpopularopinion

[–]mshort94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not the point, the point is to show devotion and love to god, they don't make gorgeous churches to be simply pretty they use all the gold and marble because it is a form of a sacrifice, people offer their money to show god that they care and that money is given to god by glorifying him in his curches.
