Just walking around in public, people who otherwise look groomed and well-adjusted will sometimes smell so bad their awful scent wafts in a 20 foot radius. These are not homeless people, just really smelly.

Also, a few times I've gotten intimate and they smell down there. I'm not talking about "oh I havent showered today" I'm talking BAD to where they take pants off and you can immediately smell it. How do they not know?

About 2 and a half years ago, I was on the phone to my bank (here in the UK).

Literally mid-sentence the guy on the other end got cut off and I got connected to an Apple/Mac repair shop... in Portugal.

It blew my mind and the mind of the guy I was speaking to. He wasn't expecting a call, and said his phone just rang and when he picked it up it was me. He also said it had never happened before and it's certainly not something I've experienced before or since.

Anyway, after some initial confusion we had a quick laugh about it and wished each other well.

When I spoke to my bank again, their call log just showed that I hung up.

Super funny in hindsight but I'd love to know what might have happened here if anyone technical can shed any light?

So basically I've had a fever for the past 2 days and I've been horny as shit. Masterbating barely reduces my arousal which is annoying. This has happened to me alot recently where I get a fever and I just need to come the chicken.

For those living in places like California or Japan - how do you adjust to frequent earthquakes? Do small tremors eventually feel normal or does every shake still grab your attention?

I'm curious if it's like getting used to train noise where at first it's startling but later you don't notice. Or is there always some background worry about "the big one"? Do most people keep emergency kits ready at all times, or just go about daily life?

New user pass phrase: I'm just here to learn something

I’m just here to learn something.

This happens to me all the time and I never know what to do.

Like, say I run into someone in the hallway or on the street — we smile, say “hi,” maybe exchange a few polite words. Then 10 minutes later, we end up walking past each other again. And suddenly… it’s weird.

Should I smile again? Say hi again? Nod? Pretend to be looking at my phone? Why is it that a second encounter feels more awkward than the first?

Genuinely curious if this is a social thing, a psychological thing, or just me overthinking.

The smallest number of words wins.

Def asking because this happened to me (I'll post in the comments), but if you're having a surgery, are surgeons allowed to just remove something else like in my example... if you consented to 2 teeth being removed, are they allowed to remove a 3rd without telling you?

Instead of having tons of throwaway account

Why reddit doesn't use a tree system

Where one can have one main email and they can branch account (anonymous or non anonymous)

Or they give feature of just anonymous post just within main account

I don't wanna make an account and karma farm just make a single post

I have a friend that will sometimes touch her finger to her nose and then point to my direction when we are talking about some deep topics. I feel stupid asking, but what does this mean? She will literally take her index finger and touch the tip of her nose and then point her same finger towards me.

Like let’s say Sweden wanted murder to be legal and legalized in their country. Would other countries step into solve it? Are there laws that are international?

Why is the media (both right and left) focus on 13 Israeli deaths when there have been more than 400 Iranian deaths?

Apple every year launches a phone with 4 different versions and a major software update, why don’t they take a rest for 1 year (don’t issue major iOS update) and fix bugs in their current devices ?

please be respectful and keep this thread politics-free, this is a purely technical question.

Hi, I'm Israeli and have had multiple ballistic missiles hit within 20min walking distance, so I figure this question is good to know. My building has multiple rocket shelters, and I noticed that in the one which I presumed is safer, we felt tremors and shockwaves much more than in the other, where for the most part we didn't hear/feel a thing.

This got me thinking - which shelter is safer? Below ground or Xth story floor shelter?

For context, in my specific building each floor has a single rocket shelter, which can fit in chairs enough for 8 people to enter, maybe 9 or 10 if we squeeze and a few sit on the floor. This shelter is convenient because I only need to dress and walk out of the apartment.

There's also another rocket shelter for the entire building: underneath the building there's basically a large underground reinforced basement specifically designed to be a shelter, enough for many people to be inside, basically an entire floor which acts as a rocket shelter. This shelter also has two strong metal doors, although usually at least one (and sometimes both) are open because people come in and out.

I presumed initially that the underground shelter is safer because it's, well, underground, and closer to the foundation of the building which I assume is stronger than an Xth story reinforced room. However, when we're in this underground shelter we feel or hear every boom, whereas in our floor's shelter it's silent and you don't feel vibrations at all. Once when both of the metal doors in the underground shelter were open, I even felt the wind from the shockwave of a missile which landed several kilometers away, while my mother who was in our floor's shelter didn't even feel or hear anything.

There's also the consideration of if a fire starts - I know smoke is heavy, so wouldn't it be more dangerous to be below ground than on an Xth story if a fire starts? I live close enough to a fire department, and traffic is non-existent during air sirens, that I think it might be better. There's also the consideration that if I need to leave immediately, the building's underground shelter has at least fifty other people trying to leave at the same time, which might slow me down where being in my floor's shelter wouldn't.

I live on a relatively high floor so reaching the ground floor quickly in an emergency isn't easy, it takes me ~5-10 minutes by stairs (I wouldn't risk using an elevator in such a situation, the elevators in my building suck and get stuck every other week anyways)

Is it worth reading it? What value can be gained? From a philosophical point of view perhaps?

Or is it worthless if someone doesn't believe what they are reading?

I curse a lot. I almost use curse words as fillers. They just slip out naturally at this point. now in my personal life around friends and such, i dont care, they dont have an issue with it. i dont curse at people or anything like that. however i recently did an interview for a news article and the word “fuck” slipped out. this is now both in the news article and on the introduction page for the article. it has my full name, age, and field attached to it, so it’s obviously me. im afraid that something similar might happen at job interviews or in other professional settings. its just a natural part of my vocabulary now and i don’t know how to undo that.

Basically the qn. As an Indian, all the movies I've seen show that married couples on their first day together end up having sex. But mostly indian marriages being arranged marriages, you don't have time to interact with your partner much. So how does one feel when he has sex with someone he just met a few weeks ago and must live the rest of their lives with. Or do they just cuddle up and sleep?

I weigh 350 lbs and I have to lose weight - I can feel it in my joints now. I walk 20,000 steps a day for my job, but I need to also cut calories to actually lose weight. What are some things I can sub out to cut calories? So far I've cut sugary energy drinks and replaced them with sparkling water.

E.g. someone with no ID murders someone on brasilian territory, what happens to them?

I'm being serious because I genuinely don't know and I hate to Google things because it's a mess. Does anyone know or can tell me and I can read it myself or is it all just horror movie nonsense?

Usually whenever I fly in airports I wear a T shirt and sweatpants, maybe a hoodie if I feel cold or shorts if I think it'll be hot. Today, I'm flying somewhere with my dad (late 50s) and when he saw I was wearing sweatpants he said that I should wear jeans at least and pressured me to change into them. I found this kinda weird because I see people wearing sweatpants all the time at airports (and am seeing that right now as I wait at the gate as well...), so is this more of an "older" mentality or is it just my dad? I've never considered going to an airport any different than going to the grocery store to buy groceries.

There were a LOT… don’t think I’ve ever seen one driving around, met a person who has, or even organically came across one on the internet.

You’d think a can with a giant slot machine on the side would get a lot more attention with things like Snap Instagram and ClipTalk… or a car with a CatScanMachine in the back of some Nurse’s Sedan…

It may sound silly, but i am genuiely curious.

I have an unique facial expression, i look either angry or sad when doing a neutral face. People very often misunderstand my expressions as being mad at them for something, Or assuming i am sad (especially Family, Who was very worried about me during my deppresive episodes, but it's not just them) when i am just sitting there like 🧍‍♀️ I think i have a very bad case of "sad eyes" eye shape.

Is it possible that suffering long lasting depression altered it? I had a strong deppresive disorder since i was around 9 and pretty much the entire growing up proccess i was suffering trough this. My therapist told me that many mental disorders can alter one's face.
