Here and a second one here.

One of the best AMAs I know of.

ELI5: How is Elon Musk able to accomplish so much? by Fire_Keeper314 in explainlikeimfive

[–]drummyfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's very intelligent and determined and works very hard, but also had to have a ton of luck, be at right places at right times. There are many intelligent hard working people in the world, some fail just out of bad luck, most have some success and some failures, and then there are a few who succeed at everything. He's that person.

Not being able to override a subconscious process in my body is kind of like the brain saying you don't have administrator access by ForegroundHealth in Showerthoughts

How clear the water is by JavaReallySucks in oddlysatisfying

[–]drummyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That shadow there is interesting - I think it's there not because the water blocks the light, but because it redirects it elsewhere with refraction.

ELI5: How do we know we aren't in a simulation? What is the science behind the studies and how do we know that science isn't just programming? by AdventC4 in explainlikeimfive

[–]drummyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't know. This belongs to philosophy, not science, because we cannot interact with anything in the world our universe would be simulated in. So it doesn't matter to science.

Also, take a look at Last Thursdayism.

I have Dissociative Identity Disorder, AMA by NaomiHanson in AMA

[–]drummyfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol I'd give gold if I weren't poor AF and could afford one :D There was a famous AMA of a girl with schizophrenia that had vocies in her head and people could give questions to her and the voices, I guess that would technically be an AUA.

TIL that 14.4 percent of males and 19.1 percent of females who are veterinarians have considered suicide since graduation. This is three times the U.S. national mean. by PerSanMarco in todayilearned

[–]drummyfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can kinda confirm, my local vet committed suicide.

TED talks would be way shorter if people didn't start clapping every 10 seconds. by cithus22 in Showerthoughts

[–]drummyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could someone maybe make a proof of concept condensed version of a ted talk video? Cut-out all the clapping and laughter and compare to the original.

Then maybe try to condense even more by cutting out unnecessary filler words, speeding the video up a little bit and see how that compares to the original.

ELI5: Will an observer hovering at 10,000km stationary above a non-rotating planet experience identical time to an observer on the surface? by LukeSkyWalkerGetsIt in explainlikeimfive

[–]drummyfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. Time-dilation also happens due to difference in gravitational force. The observer on the surface will experience the time to pass slower.

ELI5: Why most things explained in ELI5 are explained in great length and detail that a 5 year old likely wouldn't be able to comprehend? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]drummyfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To explain something in simple terms you typically have to give a longer explanation, because you cannot use the specific technical terms, you have to give explanations and examples. That's why they the explanations can't really be short. Also note the explanations here are not meant for actual 5 year olds as stated in the sidebar.

Actually making eye contact would be really gross. by shakeythirsty in Showerthoughts

[–]drummyfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol do you have it filmed? Or could you film it for us please? Also bonus points if you can make eye contact with both your eyes at once.

EDIT: You may try this technique.

Sheet of ice crushes baby by xVoltage360 in watchpeopledie

[–]drummyfish 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm really feeling the pain for the parents, not the the child really, because as you said it died quickly and probably didn't suffer at all. I'm not a parent myself, but the happiest memories of my life are of my childhood and my parents, and if I imagine an event like this took all of that away, it'd be the saddest thing I could imagine. Also I think it doesn't really depend on the child's age, the bond between parents and the child is made very early, even before it's born, it's not like it gets stronger with age.

[–]drummyfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem very strong :) Is it that cold sweat type of not again, or just some kind of "I guess I'll have to cancel my plans for the weekend" type of not again? Does it make you suffer from depressions or anything? I hope it doesn't, I'm just curious. I wish you get better ASAP :)

Could you share them with us, if they're not too personal?

ELI5: Why is it often so hard to taste things when your nose is congested? by damorlock in explainlikeimfive

[–]drummyfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others said - a great part of what we perceive as taste is made up from multiple senses, mostly of smell.

I have no sense of smell and I can enjoy tasting different food just as anyone else. I think it's because I use all of my senses to taste - taste, touch (food texture), sight (you can truly "eat with your eyes") and even sound (hearing the crunches etc.). I once tried eating a chicken and then bread with closed eyes, and when I chewed them for long enough to have the same mushy structure, if I focused only on the taste, they tasted basically the same.
