Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for help? How do others ignore them without feeling bad?
I want to give them money but since my childhood my parents pretty much told me that they are all either faking it or are too lazy to go to work for money. I mean, I guess they can go to work but not everyone gets accepted to work as easy as it sounds like.

Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
To clarify here, I don’t feel like I’m significantly smarter than most people, but I feel like people have a hard time doing any sort of thinking about stuff. Especially when it comes to verifying “facts.”
When characters in a cartoon speak a different language do they get someone else to do the line or does the voice actor learn the line on their own?
I could see the voice actor learning a sentence or two but on occasion the bit goes on for a couple minutes. I feel like with a cartoon it wouldn’t be that hard to find a stand in who sounds close enough or use whoever does the dubbing for that language.
(answered) what is the fedipact?
I saw this site that tells you if instances have blocked threads.net yet and noticed some instances listed as fedipact with a heart instead of blocked/federated/ limited (also what does limited mean)

Why do some posts all of a sudden have a yellow background to them?
And how do I disable this?
[Answered] Do "chest pillows" hurt for women to do?
I see fan-art or scenes of a woman using her chest as basically a pillow for someone. It’s cute and all, but I can’t help think if that hurts for the woman, especially if her breasts are large?
To those with English as a second language: are people actively being taught that a short A should be pronounced as a short E?
Just wondering because I hear a lot of non-native speakers say things like “bend” instead of “band” and I find it a bit puzzling since native speakers don’t say it that way (except in New Zealand and maybe London I suppose? Not sure) and many languages have the usual A-sound that I and many others use...
is there a way to refederate instances just for me?
when I see that whichever instance I choose is defederated from another bunch of random instances, is it possible to have those show in my feed without making a separate profile from other instances? and can I turn them off again if I see that defederating was the right idea?
If your instance is defederated from another instance, would it be sockpuppeting to create another account to view posts from that instance?
this place is pretty stupid
Sex hormones are powerful. Running through everybody's blood. Creating massive aggression, obsession and mental disturbance. What if we could remove their mental influence?
I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too....

If one state changed its state flag to be the exact same as another, is that a copyright violation?
Just saw a thing about Minnesota’s flag contest and some joker suggested using California’s flag which I started overthinking about which leads us here. If Minnesota actually changed their state flag to California’s state flag, could California sue Minnesota? 🤔
Make signing up complicated and difficult to discourage people from signing up. What's that practice called?
It’s a way of denying service without officially denying service. If that sheds any light.

[Music Notation] What does "D M F# m/5+" mean?
I’m fooling around with notation software that will label chords. I input a D major chord, and it offers to also label it also as F# m/5+. F# minor but then /5+?
Creating a torrent that includes all of humanity's knowledge/art/entertainment?
I know we can’t do this with any copyrighted materials. But a lot of books, music, art, knowledge is in the creative commons. Is it possible to create one massive torrent that includes all that can be legally included and then have people only download what they actually want to enjoy?
Ignorance is only really appreciated in retrospect. But the damage happens in the present. So how do we avoid the damage?

Where do guns go when people are done using them?
Do guns wear out? Do they end up in landfill? You always hear about guns being sold, but never about what happens to them at the end of their useful life.
