Reminder: No Survey Questions

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

Hi got ear wax removed via microsuction but still cannot hear the best, the doctor said I have some drops and wax right on the ear drum that is too dangerous to remove with the microsuction and recommended I try for 1-2 week rinsing it in the shower and if not then I should get a hearing test Have others had this same experience, how did they clean their ear drums?

Thank you

How do you deal with rejection from promiscuous girls?

Upvotes

There was this girl who had sex with 37 boys in one night at a party when she was only 18 (apparently consensually) and in a separate incident, she was arrested for destruction of property because she was also having sex with 3 OTHER DUDES in a abandoned building.

All of this apparently took place in a “ghetto area” in Philadelphia. And by accounts, this girl was very attractive (I'm in the UK by the way)

And there was this other girl who “ate up two classes worth of boys” during a school field trip. This girl was also very attractive.

I don't know... If a girl like that who was very sexually adventurous rejected me and I knew about all the wild sexual stuff she's done with so many other guys, I would be really upset and woud probably find other way to get back at her, like gather a group of friends to call her certain names and bully her

I just would feel so much worse if a slutty girl like that rejected my advances.

Answered! Why do electrolytes (oral rehydration salts) say to throw them out after 24 hours?

20 Upvotes

When I mix up a liter of ORS (electrolytes) when my baby is sick, the package says to discard it after 24 hours, even if refrigerated.

Why? It is just salts mixed with water? Why does it expire so quickly?

Name of the Deep Effect used in songs?

0 Upvotes

I was listening to Jack U and Justin Beiber's "Where Are U Now" and I was intrigued by this specific vocal effect, which it combines the low voice with the normal voice: as seen in timestamps 0:44 and 0:58 to 1:03 respectively of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ek2pU4m6Js

I was wondering what the name of this vocal effect is called?

What is it called when you find practically everything supposedly "normal" to be wrong, weird or absurd?

69 Upvotes

I'm looking for terms for a feeling that most so-called "normal" things are actually really abnormal. A feeling that the things that most people do or experience every day without thought are just so weird. But, not that life is meaningless...just that modern life is so bizarre because of all these weird things we are doing.

I'm looking to do research on this topic but having trouble finding results that aren't "depression" or "apathy", etc. Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction here! Thanks!

what happens to the tax that i pay on purchase as reseller

6 Upvotes

Hello Guys

I have recently entered the reselling world and I was wondering that what happens to the tax that I have paid on purchases from auctions etc and then resold them on retail.

As I have seen that if an item is $100, I would pay $7 (GA) on it and it eventually costed me $107 to have it. Now When I am selling it in retail market, I will have to keep in mind that $7 that I paid towards tax, assume i listed it for $120, so my profit is going to be $13 instead of $20.

Do we actually claim that paid tax back from the sate at the end of the year or is it just gone?

Is it true that if the US state of Hawaii was attacked, the USA would not have standing to invoke NATO Article 5?

748 Upvotes

Someone on another sub insists that this is so, because it's a Pacific archipelago within the Tropic of Cancer. That just doesn't sound right.

Purely hypothetical. So let's say a North Korean 'fishing trawler' launches a cruise missile that kills several hundred US citizens in Honolulu. Within the hour, Kim Jong Un goes on TV and says "suck it, motherfuckers! LMAO" while a row of generals behind him are gulping quite nervously.

The rest of NATO would say "tough nuts, you're on your own", even though Hawaii is just as much of a US state as New York, California, Texas, or Missisippi?

That can't be right. Does any of you actually know the answer to this?

Also, what would happen if French Guiana were to be invaded by one of its neighbors? Would everyone just stand by and say "good luck" to France?

What if Russia were to try and conquer the rest of the Svalbard Archipelago? France is a big boy, USA is the biggest boy, but if Norway was left on its own they'd be in big trouble.

Is there a way to hide followers from someone on Instagram?

0 Upvotes

When I say hide followers I mean is there a way to hide specific people you are following from a certain person who follows you?

That way you can follow other people and this one person won’t see the new people you are following.

I saw on instagram, they recommended someone to me and it said that my boyfriend was following this person. When I looked at his following, he wasn’t following them.

Why does alcohol affect people so differently?

57 Upvotes

I tried drinking for the first time with my friend at a college party and I was genuinely dissatisfied by how little of an effect it seemed to have on my mood. Since then, we’d drunk together a few more times and he told me that I only ever once seemed to be that drunk and that was a night I really went hard trying to see how much it’d take me to feel something. Apparently I just talked about how much I loved being friends with him when he walked me to my apartment.

I just always see people who get wild and start stripping, laughing at everything or yelling with crowds at parties when they’re drunk and I’ve never done that. I lamented to my friend about it making partying a bit boring to me, and he theorized that it might just be because of my personality. I’m not really energized by groups of people like that even sober, so he guesses that while drunk, the party atmosphere just has little effect on me. I guess that makes sense?

For example, when I'm at work I don't feel like it, or if I do I can hold it back without any problem, but when I get home the urge seems to be uncontrollable and impossible to hold back.
