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.
What’s a good book to read?
Depends what you are after. For young adult books I suggest the Tomorrow when the war began series by John Marsden (actually any of his books) and the Matilda series by Jackie French. Crime series are any by Michael Connelly or Richard Ozman. Historical fiction I love is any by Katie Flynn or Ruth Park.
If you can find them, I recommend Circle Of Three series by Isobel Bird. It's about 3 girls who come from different social groups but have found they have a commonality of an interest in Wicca. They form their own little coven and join a larger one, doing their year and a day sort of training. Each book goes through parts of their adventures. Blue Moon was a good one. I really liked In The Dreaming where they take part in their first summer solstice celebrations, in which they find themselves split up in the woods on a scavenger hunt that becomes more magical than they anticipated. They are more in the youth/teen fantasy genre. But still a good, easy, fun read.

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?
How do I come out to my transphobic parents?
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.”
what question do i ask?
thats my question lol

Which pandas are upvoting me and which are downvoting/reporting me? So Ik who to appreciate..and who to return the favor. I’m talking about normal comments.
If your comment is sensible and not trolling you get an upvote!
In your personal opinion, how is y'all's mental health?
School has been stressful and 3 of my BP friends have been suicidal lately.
Do y'all know what Pocky is? Pocky is a Japanese snack/candy, what's y'all's favorite flavor if you know of it?

Yes, I love to draw, my artwork is always inspired by the thoughts that come from deep within my mind, and I draw quite a lot of Heartstopper fan art because I'm a massive Heartstopper fan.
How can come out to my transphobia parents?
do the scream killers ( if they are scream fans) write erotic fan fiction
How do you add pics to answers
Does anyone have any movie recommendations? Maybe something along the lines of horror or fantasy? Or any other genre works!
I hope this doesn't sound weird but can a human run almost perfectly on all fours? Like a dog??
Do any other pandas also think the XBox360 is the best console ever?
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?
Tbf for me im cool as long as my hair isnt styled... but you may wanna ask if theyre ok with u touching their hair 😅
For those of us who have read the Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children series, who's your favorite character? I had a crush on Enoch for the longest time and I also have similar attitude to him so he's my favorite
I don’t know… what I do know is that it wasn’t as disturbing as everyone said it was
Why does my dog like rolling on my carpet?
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.
okay, okay,okay, I got a (diamond)foam Minecraft sword and it came BENT! thankfully it wasn't so bent that I couldn't bend it back the way its supposed to be, but it makes me sad as now my sword is... floppy, :(
Has this ever happened to y'all where you forget something, and then you remember it, but then you forget it but you can remember remembering it but you can't remember what you remembered?
What is love?
Answer choices:
Baby dont hurt me
Don’t hurt me
No more
I think it’s “Oh baby don’t hurt me” I googled the lyrics to be completely sure. https://www.google.no/search?q=haddaway+what+is+love+lyrics&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari&si=ALGXSlaE49fiSWf-EiVHAyTb4Kl4W940ijHBYxpwZcKzmCqHUIuedXf7t6LM-dgsQYzAXoYisuYOEjREXCdrU4AjxtQ5DTrUQpdTa_ZRvQvJD0iczAAkfyUPi3qLjVAiUSKZjrvxMS-ofWRA16-XxyfBoHm7UqYLuLNY5wb-pHzc787MtS7FJDPdF9DsVr-oHBJ48IfZqoHBC2MWL37a0qZTKuHdOmFMWDlLdNbzHNovcAOIPzBCnm_nzJAtihAeu6DyLCIos_x0O8E_Sc82go50D6UH1HNvyfzXHX4h7qT6H6TaldSePcU%3D&ictx=1&ved=2ahUKEwjJxe2W366BAxXEQ_EDHa2oDSMQyNoBKAF6BAgJEAg Oh wow that is a really long comment
If life gave you lemons, what would you do with them?
I'd follow the advice of Cave Johnson, as attached. lemons-650...3ebd09.jpg
Sorry for adding another question but when we swallow food or drinks, why don't we feel nauseous? I am paranoid about this
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.
Why do I feel like I’m always about to die but I’m not scared?
oh wait— because I live in America
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood
Why does no one share my music/books/clothing taste??!
I think it's normal to dress in all black and listen to songs like 'demons' or 'doomsday' and it perfectly okay to read 'such a good liar' or 'how to kill your family'
Is it normal to fart when you pee?
Pink a “feminine” colour?
It used to be a masculine colour because it's just a pastel version of red. Blue used to be for girls.

do you consider it taboo to upvote yourselves?
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.
If I was a pringle, would humans be appitizing?
