Reminder: No Survey Questions

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

Why is questioning everything not encouraged?

27 Upvotes

I noticed people stopped asking or questioning things a lot in real life; this is the only platform where I see people actually asking a lot of questions. When I’m outside most people don’t even ask and If they’re asked they assume that you’re being nosy when it’s just curiosity and ( I’m not talking about personal information ) And a lot of them don’t even fact check information they’re given and just believe it

Edit: This also applies to gambling addiction. If your partner's gambling became excessive or crossed the line into addiction, I'd be interested in hearing your experience as well.

I've heard a lot of different explanations over the years, but I've never known what actually causes hiccups. What happens in the body when someone gets them, and why do simple things like holding your breath or drinking water sometimes seem to make them stop?

You'd think the brain would let go of some minor awkward thing you did in the past but nope. The second the lights go out, it decides it's the most important memory to resurface.

What is the actual neurological reason behind why our brains dredge up these specific memories when we are trying to rest?
