  • Where will you go when Y! Answers shuts down?

    I'd suggest Reddit for practical advice or niche knowledge, Quora for hypotheticals that you want nerds to answer honestly, and Whisper for stupid questions that you want stupid answers to. 

    Good luck out there! Any promising runners up to Y! Answers that I missed? Please comment below.

  • Why are some TV shows aired in different orders in different countries?

    For example, the show Miraculous Ladybug aired the episode The Bubbler second in the U.S., but its production code puts it as episode nine.

    A similar but even more extreme thing happened with the anime The Melancholy of Harhuhi Suzumia.

    Why do they do this? Are they trying to cater to different demographics? Is it really worth messing up the timelines?

  • I want to sell my damaged 1984 Mercedes... for parts or some other way?

    It runs, but overheats within 30 minutes. It overheated badly this summer and something probably cracked. Anyway, I was wondering if I should try to sell it for parts or as damaged good or what.

    Also, if you have any tips for the actual selling part, that would be greatly appreciated too.

    If you need any more information, just tell me.It is a 1984 Mercedes 300D.

    I bought it originally for $800 three or so years ago. It needed some work but ran pretty well considering.

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

  • Translate from Spanish to English?

    I have a food product from Mexico (it's one of those yummy chocolate chunks for making hot chocolate), but I'm having trouble figuring out what one of the ingredients is. It says "almendra de cacahuate".

    I know that almendra means almond and cacahuate means peanut, but what the heck is "almond of peanut"? Is this just a typo, or does it actually mean something?

  • Do all the sex questions end up in the LGBT section...?

    Because people for some reason think that gays (being obsessed primarily with sex) are the best ones to ask, or does yahoo actually suggest it to them?

    Is there no proper section for those questions?

  • Do apples cause burps?

    It seems to me that apples generally cause burps a bit afterward. Is this true and if so, why?

    Apples seem airy... is that why?

    Or is it some interaction in chemicals?

  • Pitiful Laptop Audio levels...wtf?

    So my girlfriends computer audio is pitiful for no reason we can determine. At its loudest, it is slightly quieter than a normal conversation.

    Sound otherwise seems to be normal. What should we investigate/alter/download etc. to be able to actually hear quiet youtube videos? Or watch a movie on it without subtitles?

    Much appreciated.

  • Submersible heater for veggie oil?

    My mum found a heater at the dollar store, simple coil heater that was only to be on when submerged. I left it on out of fluid and burned it out. They are no longer there.

    Any idea where we could get another or what else could be used for this purpose?

    It gets quite hot. We need the oil to get at least 70-75 degrees.

    Thoughts?

  • What causes specific scar colors?

    I know they change color with age and amount of healing, but how does depth or amount of tan at time of injury affect it, if at all? It just seems that they are different.

    I have some scars that are reddish(newer, deepish ones) and some that are browner than my skin tone, and then some that are lighter.

    Just curious.

  • Why do some gay guys talk like that?

    You know what I mean. That specific way some gay men talk. And don't try to tell me they don't. They do. I went camping at Fifes in Guerneville CA. It was all gay men. Well, like three lesbians. Otherwise... Some of them did talk like that. Too many, I'd say. So did my roommate's friend "Sparkles".

    My mother and her boyfriend spoke like that on occasion, calling things "fabulous". Before fifes, I always got mad at them because I found it stereotypey badness. Once I actually heard it en masse, though... it was a bit more difficult.

    I find it irritating.

    I know this question has been asked before, but I wasn't satisfied with the answers.

  • children who hate humanity?

    Is it odd to wish that all humans on the face of the planet would quickly but painfully die, being that they are primarily an agent of suffering for the rest of the planet?

    What if this person daydreamed about non-existence? Felt anger at their parents for bringing them into a world that was so cold?

    What if these wishes were from an eight year old?

    What would this mean for the child?

    What kind of person could this child possible grow up to be, and what kind of things could soften this harsh view of reality?

    What would you do for an adult who still held threads of this sentiment from childhood? What would you fear for/from them?

  • It looks as though someone shaved my cat?

    He only has short hairs on his belly between his legs. No long ones(he used to have long ones). What do you think caused this?

    Did someone actually shave my cat? Why would someone do this?

    Is it some sort of skin disease or parasite?

  • Where do all the souls come from?

    So, in Christianity, there is no soul recycling, so there are more and more souls over time. Where do they come from?

    Are souls always separate or do they all come from a common soul-well?

    Does the union of two souls on earth act as a spark to start a new soul?

    Perhaps it pops into existence from some other realm like nightcrawler, or perhaps the spark acts as a magnet, drawing soul materials to it until it forms a complete soul. If so, could you determine a child's future goodness depending on the love between their parents(a stronger love perhaps creating a stronger soul-stuff magnet?)?

    Are all souls identical? If not, does god choose which one goes where, or is it random?

    Just wondering about general opinions on soul stuff. I don't care if you use logic, knowledge, or opinion. You don't really even need to keep it in reference to Christianity, though that is where my question sprang from.
