This is a safe space :)

Anyone who is rude about the questions will be reported, as people should feel safe asking them.

You can ask anything! Some examples would be (and no, these are not my questions): What does IDK mean? How tall is the tallest building? What’s 5 + 9?

Have fun, love you guys!

What in the world caused the first people in an area of the world to have a specific skin color, nose shape, hair texture, and such that now determines the traits of almost everyone with heritage from that place?

It all has to do with climate. Skin color, as people went to colder climates, they needed more sunlight so the skin became lighter to absorb sunlight. Climate changed noses. The farther you go away from the equator the smaller the nose. Modern humans that left Africa bred with neanderthals and denisovans. Genetics show that we all have up to 2-3% neanderthal (unless you never left Africa). Asians and Native American share Denisovan. If you look any of this up pay attention to the Date of the research. The traits we inherited from "breeding around" are interesting.

    Why is it racist to confuse someone who isn't white for someone else? I have trouble with faces, and generally look for my friends based on their hair and backpacks, which has caused me to mistake them for other people. I've gotten insulted for this, which confuses me. It's never an issue if I confused a white person with another white person, so why is it a problem for anyone else, especially if it's genuine confusion?

    It depends on the parents, I haven’t come out to my dad as bi (homophobic) but I have my mom. I just kinda went outside when she was outside but no one else was, made a bit of small talk, and then I was like “hey mom.” Then she was like “yeah?” And then I was like “I like boys… and girls.”

    Ever? No. Not remotely. Probably the PS2. The last era where games went wild with ideas instead of being copies of copies of copies, but if you brought the game you got it all because no DLC. Depends what games you like. I've got all of them (old, no hobbies) so I don't pick sides, but I play the Playstation 5 more, followed by the Switch if that helps?

    For reference, I am white and have some black people in my friend groups. When I'm messing with the heads/hair of my non-black friends (i.e. putting my hat on them, ruffling their hair, etc.), it feels awkward to ignore my black friends, but isn't it considered rude to touch their hair? What should I do in those situations?

    What has been a recent purchase disappointment? Did a product end up not living up to the hype on the package? Did it break or get lost along the way?
    Just a couple days ago I forgot my laundry detergent on the bus. XS.
    A few weeks ago I bought these scented gel pens. You barely smell anything when using them and they were about $12 at the book store. Supposed to smell like strawberry.

    Because we're designed to swallow stuff just fine. If you think the body isn't, just try swallowing something you're not meant to and see how quickly you do feel nauseous. In other words, don't be paranoid, if you're meant to feel sick, you will. If you don't, thank evolution.

    It used to be a masculine colour because it's just a pastel version of red. Blue used to be for girls.

    No. I often do it if whatever I said has a chance of being downvoted, like if there’s a downvote goblin on the loose.
