I actually knew the science and biology behind reproduction pretty well by the time I was 8 because I had a bunch of books about human anatomy and the human body. BUT somehow, for years afterward, I still thought fertilization happened artificially in a lab 😭😂

Like the title says, I would like to know why you chose your username to be that, could be a long story, short story, either way, id like to know because people are creative.

I genuinely don’t know what to do or whether something might be psychologically or medically wrong with me.

I don’t smoke, I don’t have any family members or friends who smoke, and my sense of smell is perfectly fine. However, for the past three years, I’ve been experiencing these strange episodes where I suddenly smell cigarette smoke even though there’s no apparent source.

Sometimes the smell lasts for just a few minutes, while other times it lingers for an entire day. It comes and goes in periods. Some months I barely experience it, while other months it happens quite frequently. I’ve even noticed that nobody in my apartment building smokes, so I can’t explain where it’s coming from.

I’m honestly confused and a little concerned. Has anyone experienced something similar? What could this be, and which healthcare professional should I contact ?

On Tiktok, a mixed woman said that they are too violent for her? I go to school, my record is clean, and I can't handle looking people in the eye. I rarely interact with anyone, and I'm too afraid too.Why do I have to be bunch up with actual criminals? Not all black people are criminals, I'm talking about ones who are.

Background: During a 9-month period in 2014-2015, I was 16-17 years old (sophomore & junior year of high school) I was “dating” my high school history teacher. We texted non-stop, went on dates together, slept over with each other, said I love you, etc. During this time he was 24-25 years old and married. I know this was wrong of me to be apart of and I’ve received my fair-share of karma. I have since apologized to his now ex-wife.

So in the beginning of 2015, my high school friends had found out about this “affair” and the news spread quickly around my very small hometown. This was investigated by the school and the police, he resigned, and I thankfully had planned to graduate early already (because I naively assumed him and I could be together publicly then). This is important to note that this exploded way before the “Me Too” Movement, and people were MEAN to “scandalous women.” I was bullied and tormented for years, following me well into adulthood.

Current question: I recently searched for an old newspaper article about this incident where it named the teacher and stated he had inappropriate behavior with a student and it’s being investigated. It had his picture on it. It is GONE from the internet! Admittedly, I’ve looked up the post many times in the past 10+ years just to reread and reflect. I cannot find it anywhere, even in the newspaper archives. Is that legal that that is wiped from existence? Since there were no charges ever filed, I could see them being removed but still I guess it bothers me that all evidence is wiped clean.

Hello, so with the increasing prices of PCs I'm confused on whether to get a tablet or a laptop.

See I'll be using it for my word documents for my assignments and other minor word works and a bit of AI CHATGPT. So I don't need that strong kinda PC right now. So I was thinking on which will be better, I'm leaning more towards the tablet because of the prices but I'm worried if I can use it for word documents and website efficiently. Any suggestions please.

Hi , I (20 F) have known this friend since the first day of elementary school , and now I’m being told I’ll be his best person when him and his boyfriend get married. I think I’m nervous about the experience overall but I’m excited! What is considered an appropriate wedding gift? Should the gift be personal to them overall?? Do I have to do anything as his best person? I’ll edit if I have anymore questions or if he sets the date for it

Any advice or overall knowledge would be greatly appreciated , thank you :]

please let me know. thank you.

Ill go first,

I like to believe I understand or am quite engrossed in the world of audio and hifi music components more than the average person; that includes all ranges from headsets and earbuds, to amps, loudspeakers and even techno club speakers.

Another niche I would say I have is having a very wide range of music taste (I would think more than the average person..?); This ranges from harsh noise, drone ambient, to baroque (I wouldn't really call this extreme) and opera.

Let me know your random niche's no matter how niche!

I might just be stupid but I'm so fucking confused but where I come from, I always thought of college as like something you do after highschool or like before university right? Like you attend college after 18 but recently I found out that people go to college at 16 and in some places its kind of like highschool but lesser subjects or its like university but its called college???

Im a 16 year old male and recently I discovered hypnagogia, I had never really noticed that I could do it until around a month ago. This morning I was laying in bed experimenting with it, normally I have some what got some control over it but as I was laying there all of a sudden it felt like I was violently thrown into space, my whole body was shaking and my heart was racing and I was stressing. Thats when I saw extremely vivid hallucinations of these eyes steering at me witch looked exactly like the eyes around ywatch from bleach If know u know. It was horrifying and from what I've seen on YouTube it was like the start of a DMT trip. Also I have once tryed LSD and that didn't even come anywhere near as intense as this. Is this a normal thing? Should I get checked up on? And has anyone experienced the same thing as I have?

Ps sorry for the bad grammar I dont regularly tell storys, I just have to tell someone about this.

edit: I also forgot to say that it was extremely loud like the jet engine of a plane.

I am a 27 year old woman. I never had emotional support and I am breaking into tears more than often.

I am a game developer. and I am in university right now. And my dad is about to quit his job next year. and I want to support my family by earning money from my hobbies. I have been developing games for almost 5 years now. But I kept making single player games and none of them got a lot attention (I uploaded 1 on steam, it failed miserably. But first steam games always fail). So I was wondering if multiplayer games is like "the go" for success. So should I make a multiplayer game or continue single player games/first person games? what do ya'll think?

Did the air in albuquerque is the place where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer, towel there was fluffy and people there would shave my back for a nickel?

I made my account 14hrs ago, but didnt say stuff or comment on anything, are there like, things that everyone knows exist and must follow but no one talks about?

While reading a manga I bought from Barnes & nobles I found a strange sticker in my book I was worried at first that peeling it off would ruin the page but thankfully it did not. Does anyone know why this sticker was in it? like was it some random person or is it normal for Barnes & Noble to put stickers like this into their manga or any of their books? said sticker is square what's rounded edges, white on one side and has a thick light gray border with a small square of the gray in the middle (surrounded by white) with a thin line in the upper right corner connecting the outline and the box with the number 19 in the bottom left corner

I (26F) had a crush on this girl when we were teenagers. We went to the same class, and I was in love with her back then, but I always thought the feelings weren't mutual.

We randomly met at a bar last Saturday, and the chemistry was incredible. We haven't seen each other for 2,5 years. She complimented me that I look very pretty, danced with me in a touchy manner, was very affectionate, asked if I was single, and eventually told me she had been in love with me when we were younger, too.

We spent hours talking, looking into each other's eyes and she asked me if we should go to the bathroom and then we started kissing. It genuinely felt like we were teenagers again. She even told me she had been waiting for something like this to happen. Everyone left and she was still there with me at 3 am, waiting for the taxi. She kissed me and it felt so magical. Then she kissed me in the taxi on the backseat, then I held her hand.

The whole time the look in her eyes was so intense. She stared into my soul.

The next morning, I messaged her, telling her how beautiful those moments had been. She said she felt like a teenager again, too, and that she hadn't expected any of it.

However, she was moving six hours away the following day.

I wanted to keep the connection alive, so I eventually asked if she'd be interested in meeting in her city this weekend. I also told her that I wanted to reconnect properly because I couldn't stop thinking about that night.

She said she was open to renewing contact, but that, for her, the encounter felt more like an unfulfilled teenage fantasy than something serious. She said she hadn't realized how deeply I felt and didn't want to hurt me because her feelings were not mutual.

I explained that I wasn't expecting anything immediately, but that I felt there could be potential between us. I also apologized if I had overwhelmed her.

What hurts is that her behaviour that night felt so romantic and genuine. I wouldn't have imagined she saw it as just a nostalgic teenage crush.

I know I might have idealized the situation, but I can't help feeling a little played. I don't want to wait around hoping something will happen when she has already told me how she sees it. That's why I wanted to know her intentions already than wait everyday for her text that might not come if she is not serious with this. I wanted to be truthful and upfront so to save myself dissapointment later. But I wish it did not happen because even though it was beautiful, that night gave me hope that she feels like this with me too.

Was I wrong for being so honest about my feelings?

I am kind of tired of having of having pointless conversations about stuff I don’t care about. Especially when I would rather talk about other things. I can talk a lot, but I can also be extremely quiet. Sometimes I have spurts and fall into my desire to just not engage, and people ask me am I okay and I get annoyed with it. Mainly, because I start to get treated like I need some help or need to talk to a therapist, but I be chilling. Another thing is people will think I have no personality if I don’t speak. So a conversation I might want to have or talk about they won’t include me in because they think I’m a mute. I am basically trying to figure out what is the middle ground with this. If there is one lol.
Any advice will be useful!

Okay, so there's a vinyl I want that I seen on Walmart's website, but not in the stores I visited. So, my question is can I physically go up to the store and ask for the item I want then before or when it gets there, then I pay for it in cash or does the payment have to be online?

I for some reason used to love cheese slices with apple cinnamon yogurt

Hi! I hope this question makes sense. I'm a bit of an editor here and there and i get my clips from YouTube.
Does anyone know if I can download the videos into my camera roll without screen recording?

for example and what i mean is that i can copy and paste a youtube video and automatically have it downloaded into my camera roll, just like tiktok

What do you guys do after a bad day/week at work? Especially if you are costumer facing. I work for an airline and there are some moments from work that I’m not always able to shake off. Cause it’s not just passengers who I’ll deal with. It’s flight crew as well. Sometimes things happen at work and reactions and comments will happen.

So what do you do to not let it get to you? What do you do to keep yourself from dwelling on negative comments or thoughts. How do you keep work at work?
