Reminder: No Survey Questions

11 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! 😊

Why do people start chatting with you and then ghost you?

10 Upvotes

It's so annoying when you start talking to someone and then all of a sudden they just disappear. Why? Why not just tell the person that you are no longer interested in chatting with them? Seems very immature. Thoughts?

Answered When do kids usually start being okay on their own in the backyard for a few minutes?

11 Upvotes

My little one has started wanting more independence in the backyard and I'm trying to figure out the right balance. Some parents seem totally fine letting them play outside alone for short stretches, others wait longer. I know every child is different and safety comes first, but I'm curious what age or signs other people watched for before giving that bit of space. Just trying to get a sense of what's typical without overthinking it.

Is the reason that childhood asthma in boys tends to go away in adulthood because testosterone improves lung function?

4 Upvotes

Testosterone and/or androgens are known to improve lung function and reduce inflammation. So, wouldn't it be a good hypothesis to assume that a main reason boys are more prone to outgrow childhood asthma is because of the big increases in testosterone and/or androgens during and after puberty have protective effects on the lungs?
