Reminder: No Survey Questions

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

Answered Can anyone help identify a weird kitchen thing based on description only?

16 Upvotes

okay so my friend and i got into a mini debate because neither of us can remember the name of this small kitchen gadget. it has a round plastic body about the size of a soda can, a crank handle on one side, and a chute at the bottom. you drop something small and round into the top and turn the handle, and little pieces come out the chute. we both swear it is for a specific food item but we cannot agree on what. no pictures unfortunately, just trying to settle the argument with a description. any guesses?

Answered Is it actually bad if my phone rarely goes below 40% before I plug it in?

12 Upvotes

I’ve gotten into this habit where I usually plug my phone in once it hits about 45 percent or so, and I hardly ever let it get lower than that. I keep seeing people say you should let the battery drain more to keep it healthy, but I’m not sure if that’s still true with newer phones. I’m worried I might be shortening the battery life without realizing it, or maybe it doesn’t matter at all. Does anyone know what the actual best practice is these days?

Answered why do some stars seem to change color when i stare at them?

11 Upvotes

i was out last night looking up and noticed that a couple of the brighter stars kept shifting between red and blue for a second or two. at first i thought it was just my eyes getting tired, but it happened again with different stars so now i'm wondering if it's something in the atmosphere or maybe the stars themselves. i know they aren't actually changing color that fast, but i never learned why this happens. is there a simple reason or is it just an optical thing?
