Teach me something new, what are you educated in?

[Anonymous]

People have so much knowledge about different subjects in life other then relationships and sex and politics.

Please teach me some rare beautiful knowledge about science, technology and where it's going, ecosystem, something not a lot of people know about, the trades and careers we don't here about, the uncommon knowledge of traveling, culture, legends, mythology, random tips anything please. Send links if you like. I will read and enjoy and let my brain be a sponge.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

Talkeetna, Alaska, U. S. Stubbs (April 12, 1997 – July 21, 2017) was a cat who was the honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, from July 18, 1997, until his death.

I'll give you two pieces.

1 - According to Catholic teaching, a priest is the ordinary minister of Baptism. However, in the event of an extreme emergency, meaning death is imminent and no priest is available, any person can validly baptize the person in danger of death, so long as natural water and the proper words of Baptism are spoken; "(Name of person), I baptize you in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Even an atheist may do so if necessary.

And 2 - In storytelling, a plot device that helps get the plot moving but is not critical to the resolution is called a Macguffin. It's usually an object of some sort. For example, Michael is an ex-special forces trooper. He's left the military and is now trying to live a quiet life with a normal job. One day, he finds a computer that has evidence of an impending terrorist attack. One thing leads to another and he ends up fighting the terrorists. The computer isn't mentioned again for the rest of the story. This computer then would be the Macguffin.

[Asker]

Thank you for posting, I love that extra knowledge especially the Catholic one because I am Catholic myself.

The storytelling info is interesting, it opens up my mind to movie scripts where most plot devices are used through out films but I don't think I ever saw one that didn't. I myself want to get into writing as well as graphic novels. This would be an interesting challenge for me.

Thank you!!!

During the era of musket battles, it was common place after a battle to find muskets that were loaded with two, three, sometimes four charges of shot, wadding and powder.
Humans have, or at least used to have, such an aversion to killing other humans that during the civil war many soldiers would either shoot above their enemies heads or not shoot at all. Instead they would pretend to shoot and reload again and again.
Often these men would take any oppurtunity to step off the front line to pull back casualties or fetch ammunition for their unit, so no lack of courage.
Much like rattlesnakes, who choose to wrap around eachother and wrestle over territory rather than bite a fellow rattlesnake. Its against human nature to kill eachother, even during wartime.
This no longer applies however, between violent media desensitizing us to violence and modern training, 95% of soldiers today will kill on their first engagement.
We have become substantially more deadly to eachother in the last 70 years. The modern kid maybe softer than their grandfather, but they are far more capable of extreme violence, but just as vulnerable to the mental effects of it.

[Asker]

Violence is definitely in our face more then past times, it's something I wish was covered but more vaguely for immature audiences.

Some say age restrictions should be raised in law. Instead of 18 it should be 23 to 26 instead. Due to how a lot of teenagers are no longer self efficient as they were in prior years.

I think the mindset is I have to kill to survive instead of I have to do this but don't want to kill unless necessary.

Generations have changed a lot through out the years and it seems like violence is very rewarded over resolution behaviors and being a good influence in general. Perhaps it's lacking in communication or morals, lacking in understanding and discipline.

Not entirely sure but that is very interesting history. Thank you for sharing. ♥️

just recently I learned depression is not clear as a spot on your shirt. Of course, but the thing is I was depressed for a good amount of years and I didn't know I was depressed. I like to play with my friends and stuff but hated myself and didn't get why... so that day i learned...

[Asker]

Yes, a person can literally have moments of happiness but more feelings of emptiness that people ignore as just being normal and never seek therapy for depression.

The firing order of a Sm Block Chevrolet V8 is 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2 There, I taught you something. Not bad for a 19yo girl majoring in Psychology as a sophomore.

[Asker]

That's awesome your going into psychology, why did you chose this as your major?

I find it so intriguing and beautiful that engines roar has a sequence of numbers that essentially give the car a specific voice and tone like music notes or pipes. It's honestly awesome the way it functions and having to be able to distinguish the sounds of the type of engine through it's roar.

[CrazyGirl2]

I chose psychology because I was raped by my uncle on my 13th birthday, and I wanted to be able to give back! I felt called to help girls in the same situation that I was in, and to be able to help them in the same way the therapists all helped me after such a traumatic experience. I have been a peer counselor and volunteered at the rape crisis center where I originally got help! I hope that answered your question?

[Asker]

Yes very much and wow that is incredible of you. I think you have a lot of courage being open about your personal relation and how it has pushed you to help others.

Your an amazing person and Thank you for being vulnerable and open with me. I wish you a great life full of love and prosperity. ♥️

[CrazyGirl2]

Thank you most kindly for your sweet words.

I'm an English teacher with a Masters in it, so I'll just say that American English is the proper and true form of English and that what the UK speaks right now, is a newer, more elite, far less accurate form of English called Received Pronunciation ("colour, favourite, metre, rubbish," etc) that developed in the late 19th century, which never made it to the US. Places like Australia, India, and parts of Canada only later shifted to the newer form of English after first using the original.

So if a Brit wrongfully tries to tell an American they're using English inaccurately, you can point out how ignorant they are.

[Asker]

Wow this is a great argument, I always thought the argument had more to do with the pride of keeping the English UK speaking language alive more so and it being just more proper compared to American language and speaking.

[exitseven]

@mcheetah I did not know this.

[MCheetah]

@JustAnj
That's what they THINK it is, because RP is also called "the Queen's English," so they've been ingrained to think it just sounds "fancier and better," despite most people who'd say this not being royalty or a British elite.

[Asker]

It's so interesting how much history goes into English and how much it is ever changing.

Thank you for sharing!

[exitseven]

I teach computer science but have recently done a few projects with A/V equipment. I have been looking into how these systems work so I will write about that.
Motion pictures work because humans display a phenomenon called Persistence of Vision. It is when an image that is seen remains on the retina after the light source has been discontinued. It usually lasts about 1/30th of a second. So in motion pictures, frames are shown at 32 frames per second. To the human eye it looks like there is actual motion.

[Asker]

Wow this is incredible, so digital film is essentially just a self editing tool to how a images comes out from enhanced developing techniques through equipment or over process. While motion picture films a true form quick moving images close to similarities of how we view passing movement in the bright light of the sun.

[exitseven]

yes, that sounds about right.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

How do you kill a Werewolf? Silver bullet right? Ever wonder why that is? Well, silver was considered a holy metal. Why is that? Early Alchemists found that Silver can treat disease. Well this is actually true. Silver ions penetrate the cell wall and bind to the mitochondria and DNA of a cell. But it doesn't just kill bacteria. Viruses aren't even safe. While it cannot kill the virus, it can sterilize it so the virus cannot reproduce. Silver isn't the only metal that can do this by the way. Copper zinc, lead, gold, and many more are antimicrobial too.

[Asker]

Wow I didn't know we used it in medicine. I always assumed all metals were dangerous to absorb. That's awesome though, I love when things have back story that connects to the original history from real life. ♥️

[Anthony20108]

Well I'm a health insurance sales men and fun fact for you in order for any contract to be legally binding it must have an offer acceptance and consideration and also insurance policies have what they call a freelook period meaning once you obtain a insurance policy at least in health insurance you have 10 days to return it for a full refund if you feel the policy does not fit your needs and lastly if a wife wants to get insurance on her husband he would need to be present and sign the document otherwise the deal cannot go through and forging a signature is a punishable criminal offense under FL statute 831.02 punishable by 5000 dollar fine and up to 5 years in jail anyways there's a fun fact for you lol

[Asker]

NOTE TO SELF: In person meetings are always best!

😁

I wonder if someone has ever tried to debate the cost haha

Thank you for sharing!!!

[Anthony20108]

Oh God yeah the cost of insurance and medical bills are ridiculous 😂 and no worries I always love to share

[SiberFox]

History time:
Caesar was not assissinated in the sentate. He was assassinated in the Theatre of Pompey at the base of a Statue of Pompey.
This is interesting because Pompey was caesar's mentor, associate and friend. Yet they ended up fighting a civil war, Caesar won the battles, but Pompey was betrayed and beheaded, his head presented to Caesar as a gift by the egyptians. Meaning that in the end Caesar died in Pompey's shadow.

[Asker]

Wow so revolutionary in its own way.

[SiberFox]

I just find it interesting that Caesar died in his greatest rivals shadow, after defeating him in a civil war. He was expected to tear down all of Pompey's statues but he left them up.

[Asker]

Thank you for sharing!

Aquatic ecosystems are more efficient than terrestrial ecosystems. Terrestrial ecosystems only allow for 10% of the energy to be retained between tropospheres whereas aquatic ones retain 15%. This difference enables aquatic ecosystems to have 6 trophic levels to terrestrial ecosystems only having 4.

[Asker]

This is very interesting, it makes me think about how terrestrial ecosystems are so amazingly evolved through the crusts of earth that originated from the aquatic ecosystem environments.

Please correct me anytime if I am wrong.

It makes me wonder if the theory that earth was hit by asteroids, in this case could it actually be that our earth is actually a star that is burning out slowly from it's cores and when hit by asteroids the inner core already had water that was not exposed until a meteor or asteroids hit our star we now call the planet earth.

If this is a possibility could this similar thing be happening to Mars and in order for the creation of ecosystems to develop the inner core of mars needs to be exposed.

Just a thought that crossed my mind.

[shortster]

Jupiter is just on the cusp of being large enough to be a dwarf star. So the Earth is way too small for that.

[Asker]

I think there was one dwarf star close to the size of earth. It's called the ancient white dwarf star.

Do you have any theories yourself oppose to the original theory of the big bang?

[shortster]

Not really, I am a biologist. Theoretical Astrophysics is not in my wheel house.

[Asker]

Ooo, do you study specifically ecosystems?

Have you noticed a shift in our ecosystem and how human interaction or lack of has effected both aquatic and terrestrial environments?

[TheMajesticKing777]

A deep and hidden secret about schools, schools only prepare you for working for someone else, not to create an empire and work for yourself, or at least they used too, I don't know about now tbh

[Asker]

Agreed, I also think it shifts a lot due to societal upbringing. Some time before they actually meant to have these low end jobs for kids not adults, not sure what happened.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Yep it sucks smh

[nisnaia]

I'll teach you about law.
In the US state of Pennsylvania in a city called Morrisville, it is illegal for a woman to wear cosmetics without a permit.

[Asker]

Wow that's interesting and a different norm. What was the cause for restrictions on makeup use?

[nisnaia]

I honestly don't know haha.
My professor told me about it.

[Asker]

😁 Im looking myself haven't found much yet but I found these lol:

1. All liquor stores shall be run by the state government.

2. In Connellsville, PA, you cannot wear pants that are lower than five inches below the waist.

3. In Morrisville, PA, it is illegal for a woman to wear any kind of makeup without acquiring a special permit.

4. Pittsburgh has strict rules regarding trolley cars – it’s against the law to bring a donkey or a mule onto a trolley car.

5. If you’re in Coatesville and you misuse a shopping cart – you could be convicted of a crime.

6. Hunters beware – it’s a crime to shoot a big game animal while it’s swimming.

7. Speaking of hunting – it’s illegal to hunt in a cemetery.

8. Let’s play fair – it’s illegal to use dynamite to catch a fish.

9. Start the wedding early – it’s illegal for a minister to perform a marriage when either the bride or groom is drunk.

10. Pennsylvania isn’t the only state to have dumb rules – in Rhode Island, it’s a misdemeanor to tell an online lie about your waistline, your age or anything else that qualifies as the “transmission of false data.” So much for online dating – we’d all go to jail.

[nisnaia]

There are so many strange laws haha.

[bean2k21]

Of the people who go to church, roughly 15% of them are democrats who have extramarital sex on a monthly basis.

Most basic plumbing in a house is pretty easy to do yourself aslong as u have tools and access to shut the water off 👍🏽

[Asker]

Yes! I go to YouTube to learn the basics of what I need to do the work. ♥️

[Shehnaz]

Instead of asking people just keep your soul open, Life is the best teacher.

[Asker]

Here is thy soul open to thy, here is thy life open in ties microwaves joining our lives. Oh say oh nay a molecular delay for say thy fate is you my good mate.

[Shehnaz]

Adress your soul and life

[Asker]

😂 I'm just messing with you. I enjoy learning in all forms of life not just the physical.

I wish your life the best as well as your soul. ♥️😌

[JohnK123]

If you go to Italy you can take a few hour speed train from rome to Florence to Venice and u can take that train up to Switzerland

[Asker]

Ooooo Thank you! This will be very useful for traveling in the future. 😊

[JohnK123]

Ya I’m going in August

[Jamie05rhs]

I can teach you about television and radio. That is all I know.

[Asker]

Sure I would love to read what you know about tv and radio! :)

[Jamie05rhs]

@JustAnj Feel free to ask questions about anything that you want to understand better! Either broad or specific.

[PatriceONeal]

How about you find a husband to talk to

[Asker]

Would you like to educate others on how to find "a husband" ?

I am not sure why someone would have to find "a husband" specifically for conversation. Are non husband's incapable of conversation?

[PatriceONeal]

Well at 29 I wouldn't say find a boyfriend

[Asker]

Don't mind me I am just being a dork and smart ass, I know what you meant. Lol 😁

I actually do have a husband, I just enjoy learning new things from other people. Kinda like people used to before things became much more closed in and less social friendly.

Hope you find yourself a grand wife. 🤠

[PatriceONeal]

You have a husband but you spend a lot of time on this obscure website talking to random strangers often men?

[Asker]

I talk to whoever. There's a lot of women on here? Also married folk.

Have you not used GirlsaskGuys that long?

[Asker]

I'll be honest that I am a bit disheartened that there isn't more women on this post. :(

I really enjoy learning and research. Trying to find answers, it's my passion and hobby. I also like helping others to the best of my ability including being open minded about others perspectives when it comes to views.

You seem to be a bit frustrated I noticed, is there something bothering you?

I am not asking you if there is something bothering you about me but I mean in general sense disregarding me.

[PatriceONeal]

It's the jnternetm why? don't you get enough attention from your husband or vice versa?

[Asker]

You don't have to deflect if you don't want to talk about it it's okay. ♥️

[PatriceONeal]

Deflect like you deflect from your make believe husband and give your time and energy to a website?

[Asker]

If you only wish to argue then all I can do is remove myself until or if you ever want to have a real conversation.

Until then I hope you resolve the hurt and frustration you are projecting.

I wish you a beautiful day and life. ♥️

[PatriceONeal]

It's not an argument you literally can't answer simple questions. You have a blessed afternoon queen.

[Asker]

I don't believe your blind be I do believe your ignorant to yourself. When your feeling a certain way that is going to happen and please reframe from calling me queen that is reserved for my husband and close friends.

Your overall outlook is negative with accusations. You are being argumentive. I'm am sad your unaware of this.

[Asker]

It's okay though, we all go through it sometimes. Well then I do hope you get out of it stranger.

[PatriceONeal]

Woah what's with all the negativity all of a sudden. Just telling you that you are neglecting your husband. If he does exist i feel so bad for him. If you feel this comfortable talking to a stranger like you are.. imagine what he has to put up with. Poor imaginary husband 😢

[Asker]

Don't you think it's strange that you keep calling my husband imaginary? Where is that coming from?

Judging from your posts you seem like you want to be understood and heard but you lack understanding.

My husband knows I do this by the way, he knows it's my passion, he enjoys hearing about the new things I learned.

He also shares that love for random knowledge. Do you believe women should not have an identity sperate from thier partners?

If that's your beliefs I can understand why you feel this way.

[Asker]

Forgot to apologize if I seem negative I am actually just being blunt with how your projecting yourself in hopes that maybe you will acknowledge your emotions are being projected during our conversation.

[PatriceONeal]

I really really don't care what you or your lame imaginary husband thinks. If he sits around talking to you about random things you learned on the internet then he is as vapid as you are. You're too stupid for information. You flip Flop from arrogant. To passive aggresive. To aggresive. To victim. I can't take people like you seriously anymore. You're like an NPC. I can easily replace you with any number of other half wit feminist parrots and not skip a beat. I know everything you have to say already.

[Asker]

Ah I see, now I understand, you do realize I am a stranger. If you do not see the importance of common knowledge why bother affiliating yourself with others?

Why are you on here?

[PatriceONeal]

You're on here for attention. Not information.

I'm on here to call out women and their bad behavior. Nobody else is.

[PatriceONeal]

Qhat does ypur "husband" think about you leaving heart emojis on mens comments lmfao ❤

[Asker]

Where am I receiving attention?

I'm not asking others "am I hot"

Or am I questions

Have I offended you?

I am puzzled lol

Congratulations for that.

I have never been so puzzled. 😂

[Asker]

If I may ask, overall why do you hate people receiving attention? This has peaked my interest.

[Asker]

It's a reaction emoji I am a very hearty person 😊

[PatriceONeal]

Just taking a cursory glance and your ramblings, you're nuts lady.

[Asker]

Oh and to answer your question he knows I use emojis to show off emotion and expression. He doesn't care because he knows I am expressive and loving as an individual.

[Asker]

Well thank you. 😂

[Asker]

You make a heart emoji sound like I am expressing sexual advances or something. 🤣

No I express it to show care and empathy.

I am sorry to disappoint.

[PatriceONeal]

You are starved for attention. It's okay. Just stop spreading lies and misinformation..

[Asker]

I don't understand why you continue to say that. I am not starved for attention, I am starved of social interaction with my peers and outside world, I am not spreading lies or misinformation I am sharing an opinion and expressing a perspective.

To ask me to stop being who I am is like asking a bird to stop being a bird that can fly.

There is no need to judge others unless there can be true harm in which we must speak up to allow room for observation.

Do you ever question your true intentions?

I do all the time.

[PatriceONeal]

You should write all of your thoughts in a book. Then hurl it into the ocean

[Asker]

I will say though you are teaching me about you so I guess that counts. lol

You do not like a woman who talks to men, specifically men.

You judge others based off your own perception, which can make you resistant to openness beyond your understanding.

You see everyone in the perception of your ideals instead of seeing them as individual people with different perspectives. You feel they must meet your standards.

Which makes you biased.

You seem to want to meet someone who is equal to your standard to feel self fulfilled in your own needs.

You want to be understood but lack an open mind.

Assumption: Your more then likely on here to find a partner that meets your criteria and understanding, but find yourself frustrated due to not finding that specific someone who can understand your values or relays the qualities you are looking for.

I can judge too. Does it honestly matter though?

I am sure you have something to say about what you see in me, right.

Or

You could just accept that we both are different people with different outlooks on the world. Leave it simple.

Your call.

[PatriceONeal]

I didn't read anything you wrote. Do what makes you feel good like you always do silly woman. Good luck with your "husband"

[Asker]

Thank you 😌

[PatriceONeal]

Sure

[Asker]

I apologize and acknowledge where I misinterpret your comment and that I made the first assumption.

Forgive me, it was ill mannered of me.
