Hey Pandas, What Is One Question You Have That You Don’t Know The Answer To?
What is one question that was never answered? Maybe someone here can answer it for you?

Why am I like this? I don’t smile anymore, I don’t eat much of anything, I don’t laugh at anyone’s jokes, I tried to be perfect but I failed miserably, I don’t say anything to my mom and dad, I try to act normal but it’s obviously not going well.
This sounds like depression. Have you told anyone you trust about it? It really sucks feeling "not okay" and not being able to tell someone. For me, a therapist and meds were really able to help with that. May you be happy, prosperous, peaceful, safe, loved, and free of all physical and mental suffering in your future. ❤️ If you don't have anyone in your life you feel comfortable talking to, here is a totally free resource I was considering using for myself where you can simply talk to someone and/or get some advice on what may make you feel better: https://www.thehopeline.com/about-us/?utm_source=topmenu&utm_medium=aboutus&utm_campaign=aboutustopmenu
Here's a thing; we all failed in our attempts to be perfect. Every last one of us. If you make 'average' that means you're more or less better than half the population. Which is a great achievement. It's ok just to muddle through sometimes - I would guess that 95% of adults would say that they have just muddled through at some point or other. Try not to put pressure on yourself, instead just see where your next project takes you. But most of all, give yourself a break and maybe talk to the school counselor about how things are, or a teacher/adult you trust. It doesn't have to be this hard and it will get better. Sharing your innermost feelings with someone is a really hard step to take but it gets easier after that. Trust me, it does. We're all rooting for you mate. You got this!
Why are other people so afraid of ghosts? They've never hurt me & my home is very haunted.
Most people are afraid of what they don't understand... including hallucinations, Imagination and psychosis.
Maybe the 'ghosts' which you're seeing are just the family that lives there. Maybe you're the actual ghost. Sod off and leave them alone.
If I thought they'd pay the land taxes, I would!

why to school staff ignore bullying to the point where some students get bullied into attempting suicide or getting beaten up? it rly does not make sense
In NJ there is less bullying because of Mallory’s law, Mallory is a 10 year old girl who committed suicide due to bullying so they keep the bullying laws stricter to prevent it from happening again. Sometimes I doubt it’s working.
This is an epic question, and about a situation that hasn't changed or improved much in generations. There is more awareness now, but truly not much progress in knowing how to make real change. Or wanting to? I have to believe it's more denial/ineptitude than true callousness on the part of the educators, but it's awful regardless.
If youre in a vehicle traveling at the speed of light, and you turn the headlights on do they do anything?
(EDIT: I was wrong and needed to correct a few things.) Nothing with any mass can move at the speed of light, only massless particles like photons can—and all massless particles only ever move at light speed. However, even as a thought exercise, the question itself doesn’t work: time would seem to stop at light speed. At any fraction of light speed, even 9.9999…[near infinite 9’s] the light would move away from you at the light speed. It’s part of the (experimentally verified) weirdness of general relativity. Light travels at 300,000km per second. Common sense dictates that if you’re going 100,000km/s, then light would move away from you at 400,000km/s, but it still moves away at 300,000km/s. No matter how fast you’re going, light will always appear to move away from you at the exact same speed. The speed of light never changes—time and space do.
I'm a few years away from being an adult, going off to college, and starting my own life here on this world. What are your tips?
Take it all in. Enjoy the small things as much as the big ones...but if you ever feel uncomfortable by all means excuse yourself, mention it, or just leave. I remember my first week away at college and I went to a party with multiple girls (I am female). We were all drinking and all of a sudden I looked around and I was the only female left. All the males were very nice and friendly, but I did not know them. I told them that I was going to leave and my honest reason and left. They all seemed to completely understand.
I'll tell you what I didn't do that I wished I had afterwards. I wish I had structured my twenties a bit rather than just careening from one party to the next. Laid some goals out like places I wanted to see, experiences I wanted to have and come out of the decade with some awesome memories. Don't get me wrong, I experienced some awesome parties and it was a real blast, but I think I have forgotten more of it than I have remembered. Most importantly, just have fun, enjoy your youth and milk it for everything you can.
Remember that you are allowed to say no, and not all adults are right or kind. But there are a lot of good people about, enjoy life as much as you can. X
Seek simplicity. I went to college and then to grad school. Got my degrees and a good job that paid well. Two months ago my wife and moved back to our hometown so our daughter could be near her grandparents. Now I work maintenance for the school system. The house isn't as nice, the pay isn't as high, but life is so much better. It may not be for everyone, but I wish we'd done it 5 years ago.
Great question! Here are my two cents: Don't believe everything you read or hear. Learn how to be a critical thinker and evaluate sources of information. Try to understand the other side of a disagreement. Learn about college loans, 401ks, insurance, and other things related to your finances. Also, most of what JesseyM said with one tweak: Agree that your friends will never leave a college age party without telling you. Be kind, especially when someone is a jerk. You never know what is going on in someone's else's life. But also value yourself enough to stand up for yourself when it matters.
Thanks. I am blessed enough to have parents who can afford to and are willing to pay for my college, so that is something that I don’t have to worry about. On the other hand, the lifestyle I have with the way I was raised probably means I won’t be partying much lol. But I agree 100% with the trying to understand the other side of the argument. Too many fights, bad relationships, and problems would be fixed of people were just willing to realize that they might not be entirely right or that the other side’s thinking has no foundation or is valid.

Quite simply: because your parents had sex. But I am assuming that you are looking for a deeper answer than that.
Nah, put it up as a joke.
Load More Replies...Because you are an important member of the world community, you being you is as important as everyone else and just as valuable, be kind.x
is there a god? a higher power?
As a denizen of Hell, I can let you know: there is no place for you down here. Seriously, the overpopulation is a problem.
There are tons of gods, everywhere from Poseidon to Oshun, to that scrapy Jesus guy, and even those Thetans or whatever those alien things Scientologists believe in. Gods have been created for millennia, and will likely continue to be created, for at least as long as humans exist. And certainly a higher power. For instance, the sun produces roughly 3.8 x 10^26 watts/second of power. But there are stars that produce far more energy. The problem though, is that they tend to burn through their fuel much faster. So we should be happy with the power we have already. Hope that helps.
Why do we fight?
There should be a specific place just for those who start unnecessary wars.
Load More Replies...Oh insomnia, you are a tricky b**ch. Literally read that last bit as " shing, shing, shing, shing (cuz that's the noise swords make in my head) pew, pew pew, ka-boom!"🤣
Load More Replies...Now this question is a physics question and too long to ask Google. I've tried testing things out but theories seem to be proved both ways and it's confusing. Here it is: If a bird is in a car and flew, in no direction but just hovered there, and the car moved forward, would the bird move with the car or stay in place? This isn't a question about the bird's brain, the object can be any object that hovers in the air, but I've been wondering this for years
Simplest way to explain it: The bird would stay in the same position within the car because it's in and enclosed environment and not connected to the car. You can try it with a ball, sit in the back seat and gently toss the ball straight up, the ball will come straight down. The ball is already moving at the same speed as the car so is moving with it but isn't affected by outside forces. Tie some string around the ball and fix it to the roof of the car and it will swing with the movement of the car (but eventually settle if you keep driving straight) because it's connected and feels the forces that the car feels. More complicated answer is too long to fit in the comments box and is all about 'Relative Velocity', but still, check out this vid to see it in action : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqMsf66-mY
This depends on several factors, though. This works if the car is already in motion, but if the car is at rest and begins to move, the bird will likely stay in place until it makes contact with the vehicle, which would then act directly upon it, or if the vehicle were large enough, until it acts on the atmosphere around the bird (which in turn acts on the bird) and all are moving with the same velocity. In the linked video, you are seeing people jumping on a trampoline already in motion. If they jumped, and the vehicle started moving while they were in midair, they would probably hit the back board, or at least land further back on the trampoline.

Why do we sleep? I know it's so we all don't go insane but why do we go insane? Srsly brain youd better have a good excuse for me having to spend 12 hours a day with my eyes closed and then STILL wake up tired and groggy. Oh yeah I also forgot the part where you prod through my subconscious to take out me worst fears and BROADCAST THEM THROUGH THE BRAIN. GEE THANKS I LOVE WAKING UP IN A COLD SWEAT AFTER WATCHING MY FAMILY GET MURDERED. THAT WAS SOOOOOOOO HELPFUL BRAIN SOOOOOOOOOOO HELPFUL.
We truly still don't know. There are a few leading theories out there. One is that sleep is needed so we can sort and parse all the info we learn in a day, pruning or reinforcing neural connections. Another is that it is part of the brain's healing/immune response (separate from our body's immune system) and that during sleep cerebrospinal fluid "washes" our brain. I'm not up to speed on that research, though...
Astrology, i don't understand it. How can a "Scorpio" who was born and grew up in small town in Fiji, have the same personality type as a "Scorpio" who was born and raised in NYC? Completely different seasons, lifestyle, culture, race etc. I just don't see how you can label one group of people who were born in the same time period to have the same traits in common.
Spoken like a true Scorpio. JK I don't know anything about astrology
It's amazing how many people think that astrology is just a load of old made-up nonsense. But if you do your research and investigate the science behind it, you will come to see that those people were right all along.
what came first the chicken or the egg? Cue debate in comments lol
Well shelled eggs evolved about 325 million years ago. The first animals that we classify as birds didn't evolve until 65 million years ago. And the domesticated chicken is only a few thousand years old. So eggs came first.
I feel like this kinda depends on how you think the world was created. As a Christian I believe God created the world and everything in it (which would include animals) . Anyways I’d say the chicken came first ( this made sense in my head but now that I type it out it sounds kind of confusing lmao).
is it possible to braid your hair 9 times, then braid those braids together to make 3 braids, then braid those 3 braids into 1 braid?? someone just do it and comment it on here i wanna see it
Why are my friends toxic one moment and great the next?
What is love? I mean, I understand the concept on an intellectual level, but not the actual feeling. How does it feel?
I think love is such a powerful emotion, that it doesn't just feel like one thing. It's nuanced. When I'm playing with my dogs and they're all goofy, zoomie, tail-wagging, what I feel is love. When my husband makes me laugh, I feel love, but in a different way. When my son was small and he'd hold my hand, I felt love, also in a different way. When I was an artist and I created something beautiful, I felt love for the process. Love is faceted, it can be big or small, loud or quiet...but it's all good, no matter how you experience it.
Why have I grown to dislike people, in spite of having met many good ones.
Your brain is hard-wired to focus on unpleasant results, possibly as a left-over evolutionary tactic to avoid dangerous situations. We have to make a real effort to pay attention to everyday pleasantness, in everything from nice food to good music to happy people. I like to think of it as spiting my ancestors.
What am I supposed to say when a kid asks me if I’m white or black? I’m both
Say that you’re both. Just tell a kid, for instance, “My mom is black, and my dad is white, so I’m both black and white.” If they say, “What do I call you?” then tell them your name. Kids won’t have any trouble with it. Some stupid adults do, unfortunately.
I suppose it depends on the intention behind the question. I used to use the "human" thing when people would ask, but learned that sometimes people are genuinely asking for insight. I had a kid at the grocery store ask once. He seemed genuinely curious, so I explained it to him that often when you are a mixed culture, you're not really either, unless one specifically chooses to identify as one or the other. I'm biracial, but can't really say I feel like one or the other, or that I even know what it's like to be one or the other. Idk if it's just me, but I feel "other" (probably not the right word), like "biracial or multicultural" is its own thing. You get to take the cultural aspects from your parents & family, and make them your own. My BFF is Mexican & Vietnamese. The Hispanic culture is the most dominant in her household, but she also loves the Vietnamese traditions/culture so she identifies as "Vietnamexican."🤷♀️
Load More Replies...Am I wasting my life? Is this all worth it? Does it really matter? Let me explain: Our world is slowly dying because of deseases, global warming, wars and so on. Still I wake up every single day and drag my a*s to work. I still try to be as productive as possible every single day in hope it'll get better one day. I don't know if it ever will. Am I wasting my time working and making money? I know money is important but if our world is going to die anyway why am I not spending my time and energy on things I enjoy? Why am I not making memories with the people I hold close? Why am I not travelling the world while I still can? Because I don't know if it'll get better one day. Maybe I'll have all the time of my life to make memories, maybe we'll all die within the next 5 years.
Chances are the world, while dying, won’t end in your lifetime. You don’t want to get to the end of your life, decades from now, and realize you never lived or took risks expecting it was all going to end. There’s evil in this world, but there’s also a lot of beauty and joy. Seek it out. Help one another. Improve the world around you. Then you’ll have lived a good life and will meet your end with peace.
"Am I *really* an alcoholic?" I'm 9 1/2 years sober, and this still crosses my mind. It's not worth the potential consequences to find out.
That is a question that many a person in recovery asks themselves at some point. It's normal for it to pop up, but it's important to remind yourself with as much clarity and detail you can muster, what your last drunk was like. Think of your life up to that point, and what made you decide to stop drinking. Go to a meeting and listen to other's stories. And don't drink.
What qualifies as "home"?
IMO home is where your family is, blood related or not. I personally have had to cut out toxic blood related family members, because they were draining on my mental health like hell. My family and my home are my significant other, my closest friends, my children all of whom I love dearly, trust with my life. My home is always open to them, no matter the day or time and no matter what is going on, in their life, they know, I am a safe place for them. That to me is home.
What can we do to not feel so lonely when we're alone?
I read. Something about being drawn into the author's world relieves that for me. At least for a while. Also, sometimes I go online, and read about the lives of others, who also feel lonely, and in that way, I know I'm not really that alone. Then I make myself cookies, because there's no one to judge me.
Why am I always SO tired??
Stress, burn out, life, money issues, job, kids, inflation, work life balance with no time to actually recharge. Just a few thoughts.
Can humans do their #2 without doing #1? Maybe I'm just incompetent but I honestly envy my dog for that ability.
At a certain age, you're just happy when you can do #2 at all. Let's not get overly concerned with the details.
It depends. You see as your bowel & Bladder fill up, they expand. If the bowel expands first it can put pressure on the bladder and restrict urine flow, so... even if you have a pee well beforehand, some will remain in the bladder and is released when the bowel is emptied.
How do blind people know if they have cleaned themselves sufficiently after using the toilet.
Who created God? Seriously, how did intelligence come into existence? From what did it spoken?
Sporn not spoken argh autocorrect was not intelligent design, this I do know.
Who gave you my diary to read?
I always feel a little uncomfortable reading published diaries, even of very famous people. If Anne Frank had known that people all over the world would read her diary, would she have written differently? Would Samuel Pepys have included everything he did? I'm glad to have read them, but that's always in the back of my mind.
Umm what's the purpose of daylight savings time anymore? It just messes with my schedule.
The purpose of daylight savings time is to ration oil and coal, as those are needed for the war effort in Europe and the Pacific. Don't worry though. As soon as we win victory against the Nazis and Japanese Empire, I'm sure we'll go back to normal sleeping schedules. I mean politicians wouldn't keep such a ridiculous thing going when so many people hate it, just because they can't be bothered to do something. I'm sure, once this Second World War is finished, they'll sorry it right out. Right?
It's about making the most of daylight in your waking hours, so you can be more productive. I love it and find it only messes with my schedule on the day/night of the change over, but I know many places don't use daylight savings time.
What truly happens after death. Do we simply fade out of existence? Do we get graded on the choices we made during or lives? Is our heart weighed against a feather? Do we go to a heaven or hell? Or do we go to a ring of hell.
I don't think we can truly know what happens after death until we experience. What I believe though, is that there is a heaven (though I think this just means there is a place outside of the living realm where our consciousness stays, but we no longer have a need for feelings or anything). I believe everyone, regardless of faith (or lack of) has the opportunity to go there if they have lived a moral life. I also do not believe in hell, I believe if you don't go to heaven then you just cease to exist, both in body and consciousness.
Why are there SO MANY transphobes/homophobes? I get that religion is a BIG factor, but... ???
What percentages are we looking at ? ... say ... per capita ? 10%...20% ...?
not sure. Just, most of the anti-LGBTQ+ people I've personally (ik their names, etc.) met are extremely religious.
Load More Replies...Why politics have to be brought into everything? Why do people think abortion is is a good thing ? And why people defy Jesus Christ when their is enough evidence for it to be at least considered?
We are all affected by politics so maybe it's because it's common ground? We all understand it to a degree. Abortion is not an ideal but is necessary in some situations. A good example of that would be abortion after rape. But I believe that if a woman does not feel ready to carry a child to term then she should be able to make that choice without question. It's her body and nobody elses. Regarding religion, people make their own minds up based on the information they have. It isn't your, or anyone else's, place to tell people what they should believe in. If it was such a hot ticket anyway, people would be falling over themselves to get into church.
I also liked that you explained your answers and were kind, instead of immediately jumping on the OP for their differences in opinion.
Load More Replies...Politics affects everyone's life, and many times, not for the better. People tend to feel very strongly about it. I don't think anyone thinks abortion is a "good thing", but sometimes a necessary one. I can assure you that it's a hard decision for a woman to make, and it's not made lightly. A woman should be able to determine what happens to her own body and life. People defy Jesus because not everyone believes in Christianity. I would also add, from a personal experience, every christian I've ever encountered has been pretty terrible, bordering on abusive. Christians, by and large, have earned a fairly terrible reputation.
I don't know what Christians you meet or what you say to them, I don't think very many Christians are mean its kinda against our religion, because we are told to act like Jesus who was kind to everyone, so as a Christian I ask you to give us another chance, mostly because every Christian ,I've met, is nice.
Load More Replies...Politics is important and affects most aspects of our lives, however I get annoyed at the amount and way many people bring politics up. If they can use it for constructive conversations I am happy, but if they just want to force their views down everyone's throats then I hate it. Abortion isn't inherently good or bad, but is necessary for many people, for many reasons. Despite my own opinions on it currently, I don't think you can truly understand why people make the choice until you go through it yourself and even then, you may still make a different decision than others, for different reasons. As for defying Jesus, if you don't believe in him, I don't think you are actually defying him. I do believe in him myself, and think it is good for everyone to question what they believe and look for more information for themselves. I am more than happy to discuss my beliefs with others, but I do so only if they ask.
