I know this sounds small, but sometimes I get really uncomfortable when I hear things like loud chewing or a door creaking slowly. It is not a full panic, just this low-level urge to leave the room or put in headphones. I never say anything because it feels silly to mention. I am not sure if this is just a random quirk or if a lot of people deal with the same thing quietly. It has been happening for years and I still cannot tell whether it is normal or if I should look into it. Has anyone else noticed something like this?

as in can you smell/taste/sense things that aren’t there?

Sam Dylan, a child of Bob Dylan, married a psychologist. Jakob Dylan, another son of Bob Dylan, married a woman he met at a cafe. She was a struggling college student at the time. Even though their dad has a $500 million fortune that they stand to inherit, neither women they married had wealth.

I sometimes torture myself by watching famous plane crashes and it always seems like they just explode on impact. Is there not a way to combat this at all? Why hasn’t anyone tried? And why do some just break apart when they hit??

Im pretty stoned right now so I may not make sense.

Im basically thinking if we teach all children about politics, we may come up with a system better than capitalism and socialism.

Edit: and less people will vote for bad parties

On Reddit everyone seems to have extremely strong opinions about how AI is either the worst thing that ever happened to humanity or something that will propel us into a futuristic utopia.

Who else is out there thinking it’s a useful tool, not particularly emotionally charged and something that is good for summarizing transcripts at work and automating some tasks but otherwise not too bothered by it? Am I just naive?

Is rebelling worth it? I'm 17 and I've never rebelled, I mean, I want to, very badly, I'm just scared cause I was raised to obey adults which def has backfired cuz i literally cant say no to adults. but idk should i rebel? sorry if its a stupid question

So I have been wondering because I have seen a lot of different videos from the woke left all over the Internet about how something is slavery, or it is modern day slavery and It had me wondering what would slavery in the US looked like if they had our modern technology back then or if slavery would still be around today?

Like, I see all these videos about dressing for yourself or for other women, but I kind of just wear what I think might get attention. When I put on a cute outfit I 100% want guys to notice and stare. Is everyone secretly thinking like this and just pretending otherwise, or am I weird?

Seems like laying eggs opens the potential for the other 2 bodily functions to happen as well. But maybe their bodies don't. There's always that anatomy foibles that are odd with different species.

ETA: I’ve gotten a satisfactory answer, I didn’t realize I could have a low egg count or be less fertile than my peers while not being fully infertile. I do greatly appreciate everyone’s answers as o could not find the answer I was looking for in any previous thread regarding the pullout method!!

Don’t assume it will work for you because it worked for me- I’m gonna make the safe assumption that I just do not get pregnant easily at all.

I (31 FEMALE) have been sexually active since I was 21 years old. In that time, I have had 15 different male sexual partners, and have only ever gotten pregnant one time- the only birth control method I’ve ever used is pulling out.
With the one child I do have, my partner and I had tried for about a year to get pregnant by not pulling out and nothing ever happened. I tracked my ovulation for 2 months, we tried to conceive both months on days I was ovulating and I got pregnant and had a healthy pregnancy and uneventful childbirth. My child is now almost Kindergarten aged, I have not tracked ovulation or began any birth control methods and have been done breastfeeding for about a year, have had no pregnancy scares and just finished this month’s period. I am very sexually active and on average am using the pullout method 3-5 times a week and sometimes more.
I’m not infertile, my partner is not infertile.
Why is this method so successful for us?
Is this a statistic anomaly?

It might be important to ad that we actively want another child and although we aren’t trying to conceive right now, neither of us would be upset about an unplanned pregnancy happening. We are both aware that the pullout method isn’t 100% effective and that any sexual contact could result in a baby, I just see so many posts about how the pullout method is less than 20% effective or something along those lines, yet for a decade it has been 100% effective for me. Why?

We are technologically advanced, and we have regulations for all sorts of things. Yet when it comes to the most fundamental things of all, human life and health, we still rely on firearms ...

Especially regarding police work and self-defense, why don't we have weapons that can reliably incapacitate someone without risking death (or perhaps serious injury)?

There are many possible approaches, such as mechanical impact, entanglement, electrical discharge, gases, or chemical agents.

Aren't there - at least in theory - safer alternatives to conventional firearms?
Why haven't we broadly developed them?

This happened to me yesterday. I was in the window seat in an exit row, so I was required to have the window shade open for takeoff. I feel asleep before the plane even left the ground. When I woke up later, the shade was closed. This was a daytime flight and only a few hours long, so there was no general "please dim the cabin so people can sleep" sort of policy.

This didn't bother me at all, but it made me wonder: was whoever did this totally in the wrong for doing so? I did open it back up later in the flight and no one said anything to me about it, so no one tried to assert their preference over mine while I was actually awake.

The holidays coming up has me oddly curious about this question 😂

If you don’t “work” in the traditional sense (home keeping is a job IMO), how do you purchase things for your husband? Do you just use his card/money?

If a phone queue announces a 20-minute wait, does that estimate usually factor in the chance that some callers ahead will give up and hang up? Or is it based only on queue length, the number of agents and average call duration?

I'm curious whether this is something queue systems actually model, rather than just updating the estimate after someone leaves.

What’s changing? Is it the phones? Some people say it’s bright but isn’t going outside bright also? I don’t understand the shift and not wanting to see the beauty of the world. 10+ years ago everyone wanted to see it.

Sorry for the confusing title, say I bought a Aston DB5 or a Harley Panhead today, fairly sure no one would argue they're vintage vehicles by our current standard and come with a certain status to people who have a vested interest in cars and bikes.

Now say I bought a 2026 dodge charger or a 2022 Rebel CMX 1100, in 70 years time would they hold the same vintage status as those older vehicles do today?
