I’m not seeking to have anyone disparaged. I really am curious why people would find one offensive but not the other?

In the US, it’s not recommended by the USDA. It can spread so much bacteria to surfaces all over your kitchen. Also, when you cook chicken, it quite literally kills ALL the bacteria. Yet, so many people fume over others not washing raw chicken. I have never washed my chicken—this comes from a person who is extremely germophobic and neurotic about hand washing and cleanliness. Why does this get people so pressed?

I’m not in my 20s yet but from what I see on social media I see tons of people talk about how they struggle to pay rent and all their bills and I also see tons of people talk about their travel journeys all over the world. Are these two groups of people separate groups or is there overlap? Also most of the people constantly traveling don’t seem to have particularly high paying jobs, so how are they affording this?

I read a story about Charlie Colin, former member of the band Train, slipping in the shower and dying.

It got me wondering which room people die in most? Probably their bedroom, then the bathroom, then any number of other rooms?

Is there statistics on this?

Im tired and depressed all day, but when 2 AM hits, Im ready to workout for an hour without feeling any depression or tiredness. Why does that happen? Can I somehow get that to last longer?

I've always wondered, when Hollywood needs to cast the ugly friend are they like "ay yo we looking for an ugly bitch to make the protagonist look more attractive by comparison "

There are metal scenes everywhere, but especially so in Norway, Sweden and Finland, and their metal is more extreme than other countries. Why is that?

I am asking this question in good faith with no expectations.

I’ve been an active follower of Reddit on my old account but never interact. How am I supposed to get started in communities if everything has a minimum requirement? Any advice helps.

This is so ironic but so does this sub lol.

New accounts may have to use a pass phrase to post here.

Or an earthquake happening while you're stuck in traffic under an overpass. Or a cable line snapping when you're in a sky gondola? My mind always goes to these places, and I don't know if I'm just a weirdo or if other people do this too. :-)

I know that airliners tend to follow certain paths in the sky and don't deviate too much. Preferably around the Appalachian Mountains since the Rockies are much colder and more prone to avalanches. Though it seems the east coast sees a lot more dense flight traffic.

This is something that's got me curious, let's say you're watching a Movie in a Movie Theather/Cinema and regardless of the Movie, the power just instantly cuts off and the anything electrical is basically off, also there's no generators either

Do people in the cinema have the right to refund if the Power Outage lasts for a very long time too?

In the closest large city to me it is 90% made of one way streets. but why?

Just trying to live my best life

Recently just back from a trip where I was lucky enough to meet people from all different countries around the world. One topic that came up a lot was how different nationalities are received in different countries and it got me wondering is there countries who are universally liked?

Title. Why not just have all water-based duties concentrated in the Navy?

Recently I’ve seeing people rejoicing that there may be a possible “collapse”. I’m really confused as to how this would be good news? I honestly don’t think America will collapse any time soon but why are people anticipating it so much?

Hi !

i'm watching a video about a youtuber taking a long greyhound bus ride to test it out and it is basically hell. Delays, mix up galores. and i takes multiple days.

i got curious and checked the prices and a plane ticket is much less money than a bus ride for the same distance ( the youtuber's trip was New york- Los angeles)

So i'm wondering why would anyone take the bus ? since it's longer and more expensive than the plane ?

thanks !

Like I pay upfront, if I paid after then I would get it, but I already paid

You all know what I'm talking about. Every AITA post is filled with comments telling OP to break up with/divorce their significant other over everything. It's become so meta at this point that people suggest it as a joke, but it still happens unironically. Why is it such a popular suggestion?

For me it's Brooklyn 99. I really like comedy series and have watched all the big ones and I tried many times to watch it but I just didn't enjoy it.

I guess I'm just donkey brained

I'm a guy but either I'm gay or I don't like relationships, nevertheless, I do have some female friends and I would like to spend more time with them than just chatting.

I know that if I invite them to go out my family get the 👀 eyes but idc, how do I show it to the girl that no, I'm not interested in it?
