Why do I enjoy the combination of two flavours if they arrive separately, but hate them when they arrive pre-combined?
By way of an example, I was eating a salad which had raw onions in it. I then took a sip of Coke. The combination of the two flavours was amazing, but I know that if someone handed me an onion-infused Coke, I’d find it horrid....

Are any self-cleaning cat litter boxes any good, or worth the money?
Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? I’m curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day....
Whats the difference between cheap and expensive modern TVs?
I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don’t know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?
Can videogames trigger a heart attack?
Recently I’ve diagnosed with some heart problems and they have recommended me to avoid getting excited....
Honda's commercials saying they are going to be carbon neutral by 2050. What?
What does this mean, if anything? How would it be possible for a car company to be carbon neutral? Is this just nonsense/posturing since it’s so long from now?
Word???
I want a word to refer to words and names collectively, and a word to refer to peeing and pooping collectively (not “relieving yourself” since that is disgusting)
Assuming the earth is flat, how many people are part of the conspiracy
Just a thought experiment, let’s say the earth is flat, looks like many professionals would know, including...
If so-called AI is basically just Large Language Models, how come predictive text on my phone is bollock-useless?
Like if I type “I have two appl…” for example, often it will suggest “apple” singular instead of plural. Just a small example, but it is really bad at predicting which variant of a word should come after the previous
YouTube comment deletion is out of control, can't say anything anymore even when completely sensible. Is there a text format (alternate characters) that allows you to bypass detection?
Risks of CPR
If proper CPR involves compressing the chest so much such that the ribcage might break - doesnt that breakage risks a bone puncturing the heart?
What is the best way to clean burnt-on splatters from a chrome oven without damaging the chrome?
Hey everyone, I’ve got a chrome oven (Moulinex Optimo OX4848) with some seriously stubborn burnt-on food splatters that just won’t budge. I’ve tried degreaser (KH-7) and scrubber sponge, steel sponge scrubber, and even a sanding block. The sanding block was working, but I heard it might damage the chrome plating, leading...
What is enterprise.lemmy.ml?
Every time I browse lemmyverse.net, I see one of the top instances in terms of registered users is enterprise.lemmy.ml. Right now it has 54.2k users, putting it behind lemmy.world and ahead of lemmy.ml. However, if I go there, there’s almost no content, even on All (which implies it’s not federated). Is it a test instance...
Why isn't a wired mouse connected through the keyboard?
The keyboard will connect to the computer, so can’t the mouse piggy back on that wire by plugging in through the keyboard?...
Why do people always assume you're part of a group just because you're defending them?
Have we really become so unempathetic as a society that the act of putting yourself in others’ shoes is unbelievable to the point that people assume you must be part of the group you’re defending? So I often see people being unfairly discriminatory and mean to certain types, attributes or qualities of people, which I know...
Why do some Spanish/English words share the same multiple meanings?
For example, in English the word right (opposite of left) and right (privileges, as in human rights) are homonyms. In Spanish, derecho/a also means both of those things. Don’t the concepts behind those words predate the cross-pollination of the two languages? Why do they share this homonym quality?
Could we send electric data across time?
Given the fact that data is an electric circuit of ones and zeros, flowing at the speed of light, could we technically send information across time?

Appliances with an off light.
In the last few years I have purchased a pressure cooker and an air fryer. They both waste electricity by having an off light. Furthermore they act like red nightlights and my kitchen has an eerie red glow at night. What is the actual purpose for off lights besides to waste electricity?
Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience?
I’m a reddit refugee trying to figure this out. It seems to me like it’s a decent idea to break up countrol like this, but unfortunately there are some inherent problems that mean it might not work in the real world....
Do really large people need special bathtubs/showers to keep water from getting everywhere?
Hi! I’m trying to figure out if my anti fat biases etc are colouring my view. Background: I’ve lived in an olderish apartment (1970s) for about a decade, got a new upstairs neighbour a couple of years ago and now my bathroom ceiling leaks, grows mold etc. The maintenance folks have cut through the drywall a few times,...

Where can I find Suzie Rose's "Don't Rush" (not the remix)?
Long story short, there is a song by Suzie Rose called “Don’t Rush (remix)”, which is available at most platforms, but I found at this page what appears to be the original version (which explains the remix label in the other one)....
