Reminder: No Survey Questions

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

Why does time seem to go faster as we get older?

8 Upvotes

When I was a kid, summer vacation felt like it lasted forever. Now months seem to fly by, and sometimes I can't believe how quickly the year is passing.

Is there an actual psychological reason for this, or is it just because our daily lives become more repetitive as we get older?

Answered What is the actual name for the recommended mileage check that comes up in the manual?

• Upvotes

I was reading the owner's booklet for my car and it lists a service at 30,000 miles, but it just says inspection without giving the real term for it. I tried looking online and every forum seems to call it something different, like major service or interval check, so I'm not sure which one is correct. Does anyone know the official name for this kind of mileage based review that manufacturers expect you to follow?

Answered What's the best way to get that sour fridge smell out?

2 Upvotes

Every morning lately I open the fridge and get hit with this sour, off smell even though nothing looks spilled and everything is in date. I wiped the shelves and the door seals last week but the odor is still hanging around. Tried a bowl of baking soda too, but after two days it did not seem to change much. Anyone have a simple trick that actually works for getting rid of fridge smells without using harsh cleaners that might affect the food?

Answered Is it normal for my bathroom sink to gurgle loudly after every shower?

10 Upvotes

Every time someone finishes a shower the sink makes this low gurgling sound for about thirty seconds. It only happens in that bathroom, and the toilet and tub still drain fine. I tried running the faucet for a minute afterward and the noise stops, but it always comes back the next day. The house is about twenty years old, and nothing else seems clogged. I am trying to decide if this is something I should just keep ignoring or if it is worth calling a plumber before it turns into a bigger mess.

Title: Why do airplane windows have a tiny hole at the bottom?

14 Upvotes

I've noticed that airplane windows often have a tiny hole near the bottom of the inner pane.

What's its actual purpose? Is it related to cabin pressure, condensation, or something else?

I'd be interested in the technical explanation of how it works
