  • Dogs don't understand many words but they understand your voice tone and your body movements

    Jump

  • They can probably understand way more words than you think

    (Edit: typo)

  • What book did you read last and what book are you currently reading? Would you recommend either of those books?

    Jump

  • Last book: Children of ruin. I didnt really like this one, while i was in awe of the brilliance of Children of time.

    Currently reading a non-fiction book called The genius of birds. I already knew from direct experience how smart birds are, including ones that people perceive as dumb, like pigeons. But this book really gives a different perspective in how birds are complex creatures that adapt to their environments in intelligent ways, and how other birds will instantly copy these novel ways.

    YSK that apart from not having kids, living car - free is actually the most effective way to lower your carbon footprint.

    Jump

  • Actually, i should instead know what the most effective way for industries is to lower their carbon footprint. Btw, that footprint concept was invented by one of the big oil companies to shift blame to the consumer, afaik

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    Jump

  • As a european, it takes me 8 minutes to walk to a supermarket, though i use a bicycle

  • Are animals right or left 'handed'?

    Jump

  • I know that dogs are, but i don't know the percentages. You can see it by observing the front paws when they start to walk; which one do they usually start with

  • Why covering our shoulders with a mantle or blanket is so efficient at warming us?

    Jump

  • Afaik there is a specific spot between the shoulders with brown fat that acts as a temperature regulator. As a caveat, i read this in a (scientific) article decades ago.

  • Is it possible to basically not snore at all?

    Jump

  • After a certain age, older people often start to snore. Everything starts sagging, including the soft part of the upper palate.

  • What are three questions you can ask someone new to know if they are friend material or not?

    Jump

  • I need to know whether they like animals.

  • There's probably some kind of deal between cellphone and pants makers to keep pockets small

    Jump

  • Funny thing is; i have never, ever heard even one woman complaining about silhouette because of pockets. But every woman complains about lack of pockets, or that they are ridiculously small

  • Do you use your blinker in a car?

    Jump

  • So grateful to everyone in the comments who use them. Thank you all! Where i live most don't use them. I don't get why; aren't these people annoyed when others don't use the blinker?

  • Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?

    Jump

  • One of the ways i select a movie or series is by watching the poster. That tells me enough about whether it will be about male heroes and (maybe) female sidekicks or mothers in the kitchen. Particularly american ones have a lot of those movies. So, these i will not even try to watch anymore.

  • If God's in charge, He's in the process of shutting down the operation

    Jump

  • Actually, both types of fish species needed to be stored

  • Removed

    YSK that scientifically and zoologically, there's no such thing as alpha males, and a human "alpha male" personality is a transgender identity/performance

    Jump

  • I consider men who call themselves alphas as software versions; not worth it yet to bring out as stable programs

  • people who know more than one language, are your settings in english or another language?

    Jump

  • English, which is not my native language

  • What's the longest you've gone without eating?

    Jump

  • Two and a half day for a fast. I don't count being ill, like a flu

  • How to avoid arthritis later in life?

    Jump

  • Lots of things already mentioned, but to add: Be careful playing certain sports. Damaging your joints frequently can also lead to osteo arthritis or make it appear earlier.

  • How do you think independently?

    Jump

  • Stop comparing yourself to others. You are you, and you can't possibly please or displease everyone anyway

  • I wonder what people did before baby food

    Jump

  • Ah, the origin of kissing

  • What's something you can't buy ready made, but have to make at home?

    Jump

  • True, but it's an important reason for many people to start to learn how to make their own clothes. It takes effort, but one can learn how to do this. And it used to be a very common skill. With today's junk on the market, we have a good enough reason to start learning.
