Rules:

  • 1. Questions must have a definitive answer

r/answers is for reference questions with definitive answers. If your question doesn't have a definitive answer, or people might disagree on the "correct" answer, it's not a good fit for r/answers.

  • 2. Post title must be a question

Post titles must be a question and nothing more. Additional context for questions can be added to the body of the post.

  • 3. No survey questions.

These questions will be better for /r/DAE or /r/AskReddit.

  • 4. No advice questions.

No advice questions. r/answers is for reference questions with definitive answers (or sets of answers), not questions where personal preference comes into play, or people might disagree on answers. This includes questions about relationship advice. These questions would be better suited for /r/advice or /r/relationship_advice

  • 5. No medical questions.

The users of r/answers aren't guaranteed to be qualified medical professionals, and if you're facing a medical issue, relying on the advice of random strangers is potentially dangerous. In the worst case, you could be convinced that a real issue isn't something to worry about.

The best responses to medical questions have always been to actually see a doctor, so we're explicitly banning these types of questions. This includes mental health questions.

Try r/AskDocs or r/DiagnoseMe.

  • 6. No politics questions.

Political questions without a definitive answer often devolve into partisan mudslinging. This type of digression is unsuitable for r/answers. Visit r/AskPolitics or r/PoliticalDiscussion to have these types of conversations.

  • 7. No Legal Questions

The users of r/answers aren't guaranteed to be qualified legal professionals, and if you are needing legal advice, relying on the advice of random strangers is potentially dangerous. Questions relating to legal questions and legal advice is not the place for r/answers. Please post such questions to r/legal or r/legaladvice or r/Ask_Lawyers.

  • 8. No How-To Reddit Questions

What is your version of a good, long lasting relationship?

" A true long lasting love is about living in absolute comfort of each other, doing a lot of utterly mundane things together, and growing old and fat together. The romance novels don't include those parts "

I find myself in agreement. What is your version of a good, long lasting relationship?

What happens if you tase / use a stungun on a phone?

Will tasing a phone, android/iPhone affect or damage it in any way? Could it turn off, or overload the battery and die? If you don't know and you have a taser, can you test it on your phone and report back? for science :D

Where is my USPS package?

I had a USPS package that was supposed to be delivered on Friday. I was out of town but when I got home late on Saturday it wasn't in my mailbox. Tracking said it was delivered to my mailbox. I thought there was a possibility it might've gone into someone else's mailbox but I didn't want to walk up and down the street opening my neighbor's mailboxes. I also live in an area where the majority of homes are 2nd homes so a misplaced piece of mail might not be discovered for months. It's a gated community kind of in the middle of nowhere so I was not super concerned that it had gotten stolen from my mailbox.

After a couple of days of hoping to catch my carrier and inquiring about it, today I called the post office. She asked me if my box was in a cluster to which I replied negative. She then asked me for the tracking number which I gave her. She immediately replied that they would have my package delivered the next day.

So my question is this - if tracking said the package was delivered to my mailbox, how did she know so quickly that it was not and does she know where my package currently is at? If I did not call, would I have ever gotten my package?

How can I stop eating paper?

I know it’s bad for me, but I do it anyways.

I’ve done it since I was a child and for most of my adult life I hadn’t done it until now, and I don’t know why?

But how can I stop?

Let's test your morality!

So you're in another country for tourism, in a cafe near the hotel you're staying at. And you hear two men on a table near you, talking about a woman on another table, saying they would kidnap her, and she is a good victim, and they have a g-un, would you tell her/pretend you know her to tell her that, and they drag you with her, or run with your life to the hotel, knowing you'd regret this forever in your life.

What did your parents do that made them a great parent?

Me and my parents don’t have a great relationship. My mom was a SAHM and my dad worked a lot. I have three other siblings and my childhood is filled with silence and books. My parents made no effort to really parent us or make sure my siblings liked each other/got along. I mainly stayed to myself reading and on the internet. My husband on the other hand has a big happy family that’s super close.

Since I don’t have a framework I have no idea what to really do. I’ve always envied those who said that their parents were their best friend and were super close. Those who talked to their parents everyday and actually enjoyed hanging out with them. How can I ensure that I have a great relationship with my kids? What did your parents do to facilitate that?

How long does THC show up

How long does THC show up on a saliva test? I had to do one for an employer and I’m stressed. I usually take about 10 mg of an edible gummy at night to help with my insomnia. I haven’t had any in a little over three weeks. Will I pass?

Does Seasonic have International Warranty?

I have a Seasonic PSU that was bought in the USA, but the unit is now in the Philippines. Does it have an International Warranty? My PSU is a Seasonic Focus PX-850 watts Platinum. The box says it has a 10-year warranty, and I bought it in 2021. Now, the PSU has died, even though my PC specs are not that high. I was just playing when my PC suddenly shut down for no reason. I tried all the troubleshooting steps, but unfortunately, it seems the PSU is faulty. I replaced it with my extra Seasonic M12 620w Evo, and it works perfectly fine. I did some stress tests like benchmarks and games, and everything was stable. However, when I put the PX-850 back, it wouldn't turn on. I also followed the Jump Start guide, but had no luck.

I emailed Seasonic, but they said, "We are evaluating how we will proceed with your case since you are not in the USA anymore."

The PSU still has its sealed screws.

I hope someone can help me, or if there is anyone who has a connection with Seasonic. Thanks.

Why do people believe their zodiac signs have anything to do with their personality?

Sure there's going to some shared traits but if you actually think for a little bit you'll also see you share traits with all the other signs too and there's plenty of traits with your sign that you don't share. It's called a coincidence. Not to mention the fact that depending on who's writing up the chart the traits can be different. I'm a Scorpio and have hardly any Scorpio traits but have a lot of traits of other signs. Also according to these signs I shouldn't be friends with people I'm friends with. It's all ridiculous. When you're born has absolutely nothing to do with who you are.

Eliminating calcium carbonate from ice (little white flakes)

I live in an area with hard water. When frozen, those extra minerals transform into calcium carbonate and leave little white flakes at the bottom of your water glass after the ice has melted (which is kind of gross looking, though it's just calcium and magnesium).

I don't want to drink my softened water or make ice from it, nor do I think reverse osmosis is necessary because the water here is very clean, but I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a cheap and simple filtering system that can deliver less calcified water to my ice maker or some other kind of solution?

When I’m with my nephew some people seem to be cautious of asking if I’m the mom or grandmother?

This has happen a few times recently. My 4 year old nephew is adorable and some people will stop to talk to him. They will say to me. “You are the…..?” And I’ll tell them I’m the aunt. Like they know I don’t look young enough to be the mother but don’t want to assume I’m a grandmother? Makes me feel really old. Granted I’m 49. But my sister(his mom) is 45. She looks 30 though.

Is it considered weird to start training in some form of fighting at age 22?

I've been wanting to join a boxing gym to get better with self defense and to also have confidence in my fighting abilities. I'm not planning on just starting fights but as a man I do feel like it's good to be capable of handling your own without weapons.

Is it considered odd to start at a gym as a beginner at this age?
