  • They excrete ammonia through their exoskeleton because they don't actually pee! I've only noticed a smell from them when they're in large groups. They may be a bit smelly, and a lot of people mislabel them as insects, but they're actually terrestrial isopods and are related to crabs and shrimps!

  • If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?

    Jump

  • I was on a voice call with a friend, and people who are familiar with me know that I'll end specific sentences with "eh" when others would use "yeah" or "you know?" instead. For example, "How times have changed, eh?" and "How'd your assignment go eh?"

    They took it to mean "what?" or "pardon?" each time, and they asked me if I was confused, and I explained what it meant to them. It was funny in the sense that I assumed people knew what it meant but then I realized some people might actually find it confusing!

  • If someone is attempting to, or has already broken into my house, or things like a man following me, and it's clear he's following me with malicious intentions (I am a girl, so being female means I'd have a harder time defending myself against a man if he really wants to harm me). Basically if my life or another person's life is in danger.

  • How would you process the fact that a new friend of yours is a cop? (USA)

    Jump

  • I'm not saying which country I live in, but I've only ever had good experiences with cops. They were polite to me and also helpful. It is a profession which can and does attract bad actors and the extent to which people are vetted differs between locations, but not everyone is going to be like that. There are genuinely nice and caring people out there who want to help and protect people!

  • When I was 11 my dad allowed me to drive. It was a quiet road down a forested mountain at night, and I learned two things:

    My dad trusted me enough to drive down this mountain road at night, and driving a car is surprisingly easy

  • What's the most manipulative thing you've ever done?

  • I talked two people out of suicide. I guess you could call that manipulative, but in a good way.

  • Chonkus sounds like the name of a videogame boss.

    You beat the "chonky" cyanobacteria. You think you're safe and you're going to use all that EXP on upgrading your armor, then suddenly you're greeted to a gigantic health bar which takes up the entire width of the screen, with the name "CHONKUS" above it.
