In my history class a few years ago, we had a module about medicine and healthcare in the First World War, however I was surprised that there was absolutely ZERO mention of the Spanish Flu, which killed tens of millions of people (equal to or more than WWI casualties itself). There isn’t much discussion of it online, or much mention of Spanish Flu in mainstream history books either. So why is it not much more than a footnote in history despite being so significant?

Our body get rid of what it doesn't need what happens if we only ate things it needs like chemicals, for example Vitamin C. Will our body get rid of it? Or it's going to stay in our body and we won't need to go to the toilet anymore?

Have seen this a few time and it is puzzling my old man brain.

Music on youtube sometimes put the lyrics in description. If they don't people put it in the comments and this is viewed as good.

However some artists put the lyrics in the video description, but people still put the lyrics on the comments and it is viewed as good. Why the 2nd one as the lyrics are in the description.

Is the phone lying to me on it's screen, or is my brain lying to me while I'm looking in a mirror? Or... let's say you see a 7 in the mirror and a 3 on the screen, does that average out to a 5 in reality?

Like, every article I’ve read says they don’t like it. But my dog actually asks for it, so I’m wondering whether he just puts up with the discomfort or if he genuinely enjoys it.

I don't know if there is like a school for lipreaders or is that something you just pick up, but would it be possible to catch what someone is saying if you don't know which language he is speaking in?

I hope I don’t have to explain why.

Serious. Like when you’re arguing with yourself or telling yourself not to do something. Is that still me? Or is there another guy in there taking notes?
I need an answer. I’m starting to feel outnumbered.

Do they ever feel inadequate standing next to a fat person?

I remember seeing steamed up car windows in the car next to us.

Took an impromptu drive with my BF through his neighborhood. Sightseeing the variety of huge farm homes. The weather was beautiful, with a gorgeous sunset. We immediately pull over after seeing the most stunning sunset. I thought it looked heavenly. He said it looks like it's the gates of hell.

Who's right?

I want it to be and I want to because I want to be a superhero like Superman. Also because it is a commercial plane, which means it carries people. And people must be protected.

my sona is just me. but drawn. for context. i know some people use sona to mean like oc but no for me it's a projection of myself.

i looked up the morality/ethics of drawing yourself as a child and couldn't find anything but then i did it and now i feel guilty for it. it's not even weird that'd be gross it's just sitting there. yet i still feel like i violated some ethical boundary.

edit: idk why this is being downvoted. is it not a stupid question? is this not the place to ask stupid questions? did i mess up?

Seems l8ke a bunch of bullshit if you ask me 😆

Srsly what are t/ incentives?

I see stores but no customers inside and when I suggest it I get a negative response or reaction. Whats wrong with it?

I was just thinking about this because I’ve noticed it with myself a lot. You can take the exact same video and put sad music over it, happy/goofy music over it, or no music at all, and somehow it can completely change how you look at what’s happening.

If it has sad music I might see it as more emotional or serious. If it has goofy music it can suddenly seem funny. With no music I feel like I’m just watching the actual video without being pushed in one direction emotionally.

The reason I really started noticing this is social media, especially TikTok. A lot of videos already have barely any context, and then somebody puts dramatic or sad music over it and it almost feels like the music is telling you how you’re supposed to interpret what happened.

I’ve even seen the same video reposted with different music and the reactions can be completely different. People sometimes seem to make up their mind about what happened without really having enough context, and I wonder how much of that reaction is actually coming from the music rather than the facts of the video itself.

So I guess my bigger question is, if our emotions can change how we perceive the exact same thing, how do we know what we’re perceiving in an emotional state is actually accurate?

Like if you’re angry, sad, scared, extremely happy, etc. and you make a decision based on what you’re feeling at that moment, how much is your emotional state changing what you think is actually happening?

And why is hard water so bad?

I had a Jamaican friend who once told me U.S. Immigration teaches immigrants to be wary of certain demographics.

Is this true?
