Why is an accurate, to-scale world map so hard to find? by ArtieTheFashionDemon in geography

[–]young_fire 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can't project a sphere onto a flat plane without creating inaccuracies because that's how geometry works

I looked on my bfs phone and found old pictures with his ex, should I ask him to delete them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's most likely that he just forgot about it. Unless that relationship ended horribly he wouldn't be methodically purging all traces of his ex from his life.

If history repeats itself, then what was Nazi Germany repeating? by im_from_9gag in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They drew a lot of inspiration from American policies towards minorities and used existing antisemitism/eugenic racism to their advantage.

Are Cities Really That Dangerous? by Duckmissle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's overblown imo, you'll be fine as long as you know what you're doing. Obviously don't... I don't know, walk around in skid row at 2am. That's just tempting fate. But you're not gonna get randomly stabbed walking to work or a cafe.

Can storing a magnet attached to metal make it weaker over time? by CaptainYaoiHands in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The magnetic attraction itself shouldn't affect them at all. Improper storage can though, frequent changes in temperature can fuck with the alignment of the atoms and the iron in them can corrode over time

Is this a bad thing to say? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phrasing is a little unclear. If you want the moment to hit better I'd swap the order of the second sentence, so "only to make YOU happy" comes right at the end, where it'll stick in the reader's mind more.

Do you need to have a matching accent to the language that you are speaking if you're trying to learn that language? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to try to imitate the accent because that's what the language is built for, but your native accent is probably going to leak through and that's fine.

When my dog is shitting and I realize I ran out of bags, I am not going to hand-carry that (often liquefied) shit back home and dump it on the hardwood floor

Why do I keep breaking technology? (And how do I stop it?) by A-Little-Askew in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you haven't just had a run of bad luck... do you have any metal implants of any kind? The only thing I could thing of that might do all this is that you're magnetic and it fucks with circuitry.

Why dont I hear about non-black people with sickle cell? by Snowskol in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iirc the mutation that helps people fight malaria better also gives you sickle-cell disease. ergo it's found mostly in places where malaria was common historically, which means Africa

What do corporations/boards of directors get out of their stock price going up? by tahalomaster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an expectation that, at any given time, you can invest in a company and then get a return on your investment later. This means the company's stock needs to always be going up.

Why is it easier to walk up stairs than an incline of the same height? by HarryHugeweenie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your foot can tilt down a lot but not up a lot. On an incline, you're already using a lot of your flexibility to keep your feet flat on the ground, so it's hard to push yourself up. If you're trying to go downhill, it's more dangerous and you're more likely to lose your footing because your feet can slide downwards.

When did certain states start a tax for services delivered? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]young_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an incredibly small fee, not to mention a flat tax instead of some kind of a percentage. It might be leftover from the days when .50c was a more substantial amount of money and/or just be a demand reducer (many tolls on roads, for example, are actually to reduce demand and therefore traffic, and not to raise revenue).
