  • Why do people wear shoes inside the house?

    Jump

  • Every time I see people with arch issues complaining and saying they need their arch support shoes the orthopedic surgeon inside me wants to claw out.

    You need to exercise your arches, not walk on crutches until the problem is so bad you need physical therapy.

    Bare the barefoot. They'll improve. Your heel pain is likely related directly to your arch issues as you're putting more weight than necessary on your heels.

    Disclaimer: I'm not actually doctor of anything, I've just been running a long time and constantly hear about doctors putting patients with arch issues on orthotics which is like giving someone with a weak leg crutches. You need to exercise and build the muscles, not crutch them.

  • Is it kids or pets?

    Kids apparently lack the mental facilities to clean up after themselves until their 18th birthday.

    Are you the kid?

  • Supposedly, there are people who go into a coma or get head trauma and then wake up talking in a foreign language they never knew or using an accent they never had. Do you think this is legit or fake?

  • There are many accounts of immigrants learning English by watching English (subtitled) cartoons and films. That's still intentionally learning a language, just in a different way than many do. Second hand language exposure would at most lead to incoherent sentences or things that mean nothing. (How many fingers am I holding up? "The sunset is oblong").

    This is just a modern myth. Although I'm sure there are less than modern accounts as long as multilingual speakers have been somewhat common.

  • First video: He woke up speaking only Spanish, a language he'd never spoken fluently before. They didn't say he was speaking it fluently then either, only that he couldn't speak English when he first woke up.

    Second: Guy woke up speaking Swedish thinking he was someone else. Was found unconscious with 4 forms of false identification on him, with a cell phone with several phone numbers, all of which were Chinese phone numbers. Lived in Sweden for some time, so he knew the language. Sounds like he may have been a spy who wanted out and faked it Walter White style.

    Third: Kid spoke fluent Mandarin in High School, woke up speaking Mandarin after his accident.

    So different from foreign accent syndrome, but not all that different. There's no good record of anyone ever waking up sensically speaking a language they never learned (by sensically, I mean being able to speak even a cohesive sentence).

  • Your question is based on a false premise. There is no 'foreign language syndrome,' that's a myth based on the very real foreign accent syndrome which is where after a stroke or some other neurological issue, people start talking as if they're from a foreign land. When you learn to speak a language, you've trained your tongue muscles in a very specific way and it's hard to do, think of how long some foreign people you know have been living where you live, and they still don't have perfect English or whatever your 'native tongue' is.

  • There's a service that gives you a dedicated Ukrainian number to receive texts at an email address for $15/year.

  • Do phone number requirements for account sign-ups effectively deter/mitigate spam?

    Jump

  • Most email services require a phone number or other email service to sign up if there is anything fishy about your connection/browser (and there can be hundreds of things, even just some strange browser extension installed).

    And there are services where you can buy a real temporary 4G/5G number (non-VoIP) for a service for less than a dollar per use. Once a number has been used for that service it still has every other X number of services it can be used for before it's retired from the pool. But that does add up after a while if you're making tens of hundreds of thousands of accounts.

  • What is the strangest thing that you ever experienced?

  • What stuck out to me is cops were blocking it after you went through. Can you expand on this? Did they pull up after you and the other car entered or was it like they were already there and you somehow 'drove past the car block without noticing'?

    Often times stuff happens and just doesn't make the news, nobody calls it in to them. And sometimes stuff is reported and they just don't follow up on it or have interest. If it was something with the cities underground tunnel/piping network (especially likely if it was an in-ground tunnel) it could have been something going on in the entrance/exit to the tunnel system, or there could have been a severe gas/water/etc leak in that area.

  • I bet so. I have a couple similar strange stories and I've told them in multiple places but after the nth time retelling you just stick to the basic facts of what happened. No fluff.
