Person Asked “What’s Something You Still Don’t Understand Even After Many Different People Explain It To You?” And 30 People Confessed (2024)

Very true. They shouldn't be anywhere near children if that's the case. Any man who claims not to be able to control his urges is pathetic and needs to grow up.

It is a simple way to make the rich even richer, to rob the poor, and then kill off the poor when they are of no more use.

If voting actually changed anything, it would be abolished

There’s nothing to “explain”. There’s nothing to “understand”. Antisemitism, like any type of racism, is illogical, blindly selfish and stupid, and inherently awful.

All currency values are make believe to a large extent.

Nothing to “understand” or “explain” here either. It’s really simple - religion is a tool used to control groups of people and get them to act/do what the religious elite want them to do. Humans fear things like death and the unknown, and they are grateful to be fed reassuring answers like “you’ll go to Heaven as long as you follow these rules!” It’s easy and then they no longer have to think for themselves. And, of course, in the meantime, the religious leaders get them to donate money.

I’m genuinely dyscalculic. If I try to look at a number that is more than three digits long, it gets all scrambled up. I’m terrible at math in general, too, even simple math. I’ll still count on my fingers to add. I loathe math XD

I think the "game" is the break between all the adverts and half time shows, and beverages.

I don't know about the getting ahead part but don't spend on things to impress OTHER people. If you buy things to make your life easier or things you enjoy go ahead! There is nothing wrong with that. Just don't go into mountains of debt doing it. I've always wanted a gaming console to enjoy some games but always had spending anxiety. I finally got one, not the newest, used but it works great for like 50% the cost. It accomplished what I wanted but within budget.

Money....90% of my problems can be solved with money....which is frigging depressing.

In simplest terms...all music is just bumps...bumps that end up moving air. A CD has bumps that change the lasers path to the sensor. The computer turns those bumps(0 and 1s) into bumps in voltage. Your speakers then turn the voltage bumps into physical bumps of the air. The air bumps your ear drum. Your brain turns it into music. A record does the same. Only its physical bumps in the grooves. They are tiny bumps. The needle follows the bumps and turns it into voltage bumps. Or in oldddd phono graphs it bumps air and the big horn amplifies those bumps. Essentially all audio formats are different types of bumps. It all ends with a speaker bumping the air.

It’s just a graph of rich people mood swings.

Kind of simple. Your refund is money you overpaid. It is still income; you just haven't had access to it.

According to Sam Bankman-Fried, Bitcoin only works if you live in the Bahamas and spend other people's money.

Time is a temporal dimension. There is a fourth spatial dimension which our brains aren’t evolved to visualize yet

My cats understand string theory. The theory is: whenever they see anything stringlike, they pounce.

The question is, digital camera or film camera? Two different ways.

Those people who bought it cheap and sold it for a profit will probably be reflecting on what a terrible idea it was from their mansions overlooking their fleet of sports cars. But yeah, stupid.

And when Rishi says he wants to teach maths until 18, what he should actually be proposing is finance, budgeting, adulting life skills

There are three doors. You pick one. The host, who knows where the prize is, opens another (no prize there). Do you switch to the third door?Most people say don't switch, because it's just 50/50.But it isn't actually 50/50, because the host didn't open the door randomly. They opened a door that did not have the prize.Basically, the open doors "merge" into the result of opening the third door. 1/3 chance of getting it right on your initial guess. 2/3 chance (because it *must* add up to 1) of getting it by changing doors.Imagine there were 1000 doors, you chose one, the host chose 998 empty doors, and you could switch to the last closed door? Would you? 1/1000 chance of getting it right on the first guess, so 999/1000 chance of getting the prize by switching. Same exact logic, but more obvious.

Infinity plus one.

Who knows, who cares, it is pretty funny.
