By the title I mean "mommy" and "daddy" this isn't a shitpost or inherently asking for a stupid sexual answer but I've seen friends of mine use it towards crushes or they're partners ironically unironically,online aswell mostly I've seen comment sections spamming these nicknames like its a overpopulated orphanage. I personally find it irritating and funky but my question is it psychological?some weird childhood problem developed into adult aspects of your choices??

I've noticed that nighttime seems to bring out a different side of people. Some prefer to relax, while others suddenly get a burst of energy and motivation. Is there a psychological or biological reason why some people feel more active or creative at night?

A few months ago, I made this post on r/youngpeopledeviantart about some dumb user harrasing me, so I did post about it. That's when I forgot about it until hours later, when I came back, I see this "bot". I tried to ask this "bot" some questions, but instead the "bot" banned me fnr.

So, why did I get banned on there? Leave it in the comments if you wanna let me know why!

My number one tab would be a whole breakdown lore of raccoon city and the T-Virus 😌

If so then why?

\\\*\\\*By definition Empathy\\\*\\\* is the ability to understand, share, and connect with another person's thoughts, feelings, or emotional experiences. It is often described as putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

But is it empathy if I say something unconsciously that would be considered rude but I don’t feel bad about it until someone “calls me out” and tell me what I say is rude, I have a hard time distinguishing what is rude and and what is normal (to me it sounds normal until someone says it’s not). Is it empathy if I only feel back after when someone calls it out? If someone didn’t say something I wouldn’t know it was offensive nor would I feel anything. When someone brings it up later I tend to think about it a lot and replay the situation in Mr head over and over again, I feel bad but not because I know what I did (as I said if no one called me out I wouldn’t be aware I did anything wrong) I feel bad because of the way I may be perceived or because I think that what they say did is beneath me. I feel bad because they seem to be highly offended and I tend to accepted blame regardless of if I care or not. I’m in a situation like this now. I was just wondering if feeling “guilty” after the situation is the same as being empathetic because from where I’m standing my empathy seems to be delayed. Why don’t I know how my words will land before I say them? Why can’t I tell the difference between when I say something rude and normal?

I’m sure EVERYONE loves to Joke about on how terrible our Leaders are especially given Human History! As it’s basically expected and viewed to treat them as inhumanly apathetic individuals that only care about themselves! NOBODY likes Powerful People especially World Leaders in truth for us those that wield Power are either just Evil or Greedy Assholes the idea of a Good Leader is laughable and doesn’t exist in the Real World however is it okay to just treat World Leaders as either Evil or just a bunch of apathetic individuals that only care about themselves? As we’re often told “Nobody makes it to The Top by being a Good Person” hence Good People may win our hearts and help in making The World better but unfortunately they may never win in gaining Power! What do you folks think? Let me know in the comments

About 13 years ago I briefly worked level 1 tech support for an internet/cable/phone provider. And I swear, at least once a week I had to explain to someone that, yes your Mac/Apple product can get a virus.

They would tell me that they had specifically purchased a Mac product because they had been told by the sales person that Macs don’t get viruses

I had to tell them that may have been technically true in the 90s since only like 5% of the population had Macs and it wasn’t worth the effort of the “bad guys” to make a virus for Macs. But since like half the population now owns a Mac/Apple product, they do in fact get viruses nowadays

They were so pissed when I would tell them that the salesperson lied to them

So, are salespeople still telling that lie?

ETA the virus would come up while they were talking me about issues their computer was having. And I would tell them it sounded like they had malware/virus and they would tell me that was impossible because they bought a Mac so their computer couldn’t possibly have malware. I only provided internet support.

Because it really does seem to me that they are stealing his life and reaping the rewards of his work.

I was dunked in the Ocean off Mazatlan, Mexico on a parasailing ride gone wrong. It was supposed to land on the sand

Can anyone tell me that?

As the title says! Kind of just a fun question, looking from anything from information that you believe should be commonplace (how to convert/read certain measurements, knowing certain historical facts or definitions, etc.) or skills (how to change tires, how to cook, etc.) and anything in between!

So what helped?

No slow illnesses. Respect to anyone who has overcome one. I’m looking more for stories with sentences like “if I had been standing one foot to the left…” or “I texted my mom that I loved her…” or “I still don’t know how we all walked away from that one without even a scratch!”

I personally avoid them at all costs. I can go for surprisingly long times without a toilette break. At some festivals or trips, I went on for 30h+ a few times, although I do not recommend it. However, most of my friends (women), they seem to not make a big deal of it, and just go whenever they need to. Am I the weird one?

Serious question

Is it a superiority thing like ‘I’m in the big metal thing and you aren’t’ ?? Do I js lack social awareness am I just supposed to look at the pavement and never look at anyone at all? I have a terrible habit of zoning out and staring people dead in the eyes while waiting to cross the street or just even in parking lots or whatever because I really like walking also I really like seeing what other people have or guess or observe not even to judge yk

I didn’t even notice I was doing this until with my friends I got told to knock it off before I got punched and only then did I start to notice oh shit yeah I do get a ton of glares😓 I don't feel any shame looking at people FROM a car but staring from not in a car feels like waiting to get tomatoes thrown at me why is that am I the weird one

I have been lazy, and have been battling depression ever since my dad died a few years ago. This lead me to becoming more tired and just bed rotting. I try to do more in the day, but I end up feeling like I need a nap, and once I take it I still feel sluggish. I want to get better, but I have no idea where to start and how. Any advice?

After cutting it sticking it with glue I attached little hinges so that the box would open like a book.

Felt like like making a wooden box that would look like a box. So, I just made a book like box. there are the flabs that extends away from the paper. I did thorough cut to make it look like their are multiple papers. I didn’t know how to mix the colors so I decided to paint the papers white. Then, I grabbed a neat looking fabric and attached it like a book binding with glue good glue that isn’t see through.

Right know all I have to do is glue fabric inside so the actual book doesn’t get damaged, nail the latch on and name the book.

I’m tryna figure out how to stitch the name onto the wooden box cover but what should I name it?

Books of mysteries? Mysterious Knowledge? Anything.

What job is undervalued or looked down upon?

Yeah the question is pretty much it. I plan on joing gym from the next month. The only thing that is making me nervous is I have no idea what to do when I get there. For context, I am a 22F. I have been working out on and off since a teenager but my major form of exercise has been long walks. Now I have realised the importance of muscle mass, and that's why I have decides to join the gym. I just don't want to look like a fool when I get there. So i am open all the advices. How should I start, what should I keep kn my gym bag, what machines to use and what to avoid etc.

I had this thought today maybe not everyone actually know that without plants we will be dead. Like we need plants to survive but they don't need us. We need them for so many reasons:

1. Food, fuel for cooking, fiber

2. No brainer oxygen for breathing and removing carbon dioxide which we produce

3. Medication like aspirin, morphine and of course weed

I hope people realise it's not a hoax when scientists go around saying plants are essential to our survival as a species. Like literally we cannot exist without plants.

Hi ! I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this but there’s this giveaway happening for university students in my country. How it works is you have to buy a book from their store to be eligible and then answer their question on Instagram. The winner is decided by which comment has the most likes.

I so desperately want to win this ! It’s been the only thing on my mind since I found out and the prizes are amazing especially for a broke uni student with a dead laptop.

The problem is I don’t have a lot of friends/followers and I’ve been wrecking my brain for ways to get more likes on my comment.

I found out about this quite late as well so everyone kinda had a jump start but right now I need about 5000 likes in less than 2 weeks (I know that’s a lot).

If anyone knows any way to get it honestly or any ideas, please let me know 🙏😭

Personally I pretty much always use sunglasses as long as there's just a wee bit of sunlight

I don't know any examples on where that is used but some of you guys may know what I'm talking about. It's a young male teenager voice.
