askscience/cc6t9ml | 1m8fp7 | Was the first egg a mutation? | I may be a little late to this post, but the short answer is actually just a simple yes. Every change that has ever happened is caused by mutation-natural selection cannot introduce new changes into a population, it can only select for a given mutation (aka make that mutation more/less frequent in the population). So i... | 3 | 435 | [MLT:500] |
AskReddit/egrkuvw | as3jm7 | What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done while sleepwalking or being not-so-awake? | I sleepwalk frequently, but it’s usually non-eventful. There was a period about 15 years ago, when I was living alone, where several times I woke up in the morning to find a bite taken out of my deodorant. One morning, I found my stick of deodorant on the dining table, on a plate, with a fork and knife next to it. | 2 | 80 | [MLT:80] |
AskReddit/cy8tvmj | 3xy5jn | Which country has the richest history that I should visit? | The UK's history is rich not in the sense of opulence, but in the sense that it is everywhere and somewhat haphazard. Our history is everywhere, both physically and otherwise, and no matter where you go you'll find some, whether it's a crumbling castle or just some half-hidden monument from the Middle Ages that nobody ... | 6 | 183 | [MLT:300] |
explainlikeimfive/ckf06z1 | 2g2f77 | How does YouTube (or Sony or UMG or whomever makes the decision) benefit from blocking playback on certain devices? | There's a choice when you post a video (after you get approved to make money from your videos) for either the video to be played everywhere, or only on monetized platforms. If it plays on a non-monetized platform, the creator doesn't get an ad view, and they don't get paid. In other words, it's not that they benefit fr... | 4 | 87 | [MLT:150] |
AskReddit/cpo25d7 | 300xff | Do you carry a talisman/good luck charm, and if so, what is it? | I was given the end of a deer antler (about 3 inches long) from a friend as a good luck charm, and I keep it on my key chain. I've had it 6 years now and I must admit my life became a lot better after I started carrying it around in my purse.

AskReddit/ddck00j | 5s5mdk | What is with people leaving 2 car lengths of space between them and the next car at stop lights? | So you don't hit the car in front of you when some idiot hits you.

AskReddit/dcyw1rp | 5qfq3d | What's something people just don't understand about you? | They don't understand how I'm such a picky eater. I have to have my burgers and sandwiches plain, and I only eat cheese pizza. People make comments about this, which I've always been self conscious about. I just have an aversion to a lot of foods and can't try them. | 11 | 62 | [MLT:80] |
AskHistorians/cglplsh | 22bzex | Why didn't Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey become English counties, with territories fully integrated with England? | The reasons why they didn't become fully integrated with England were different between the Isle of Man and the channel Islands. The Isle of Man had never been part of England before the Norman conquest, and it was not part of England after the Norman conquest. It had been ruled by Norsemen or Vikings since about 850 A... | 33 | 679 | [MLT:700] |
askscience/ci5bgie | 27xdu4 | Why aren't our bodies able to recognize when we've put on/stored too much fat? | Over the past few thousand years humans have evolved to become as energy efficient as possible. In the past many people struggled to eat enough fats, proteins and sugars to sustain themselves and as a result we as a species have evolved to crave the nutrients constantly.

AskHistorians/cdu9gje | 1s62cd | Why is the battle of Adrianople considered a turning point for the Roman Empire? | For military reasons, the battle of Adrianople was bad enough. That was the bulk of the eastern Army, and the officers of that Army were not just military men, but senior administrators and officials. So the loss of that army in battle would be the equivalent of if you had wiped out a massive percentage of the bureaucr... | 29 | 726 | [MLT:800] |
AskReddit/de7jfu6 | 5w54nj | Which photo of you do you actually like the way you look? | The picture I took of myself in my old backyard, by the fort. I seldom smile or appear happy, but in that photo, I look like I'm embracing life. The sun shining down on me helps, too. It's one of the extremely rare pictures of myself I can go, 'Yup, that's me'. | 2 | 67 | [MLT:80] |

AskReddit/cf3bylj | 1wm9uu | What are your favorite cities in America? | Being a native Virginian, DC and Baltimore are always a good time, the harbor especially. New York is entertaining, but much like a trip to Walmart is convenient because you can get anything and everything, it becomes a bit too much and over commercialized at times. New Orleans is a really fun place with great food and... | 2 | 523 | [MLT:700] |
AskReddit/cm48prh | 2mhe9q | What job sounds awesome but in reality kind of sucks? | Tourist guide. Horrible job, it just sounds great: you see new countries and you get paid for going to museums, and being on vacation all year round, you get to meet a lot of new people etc. However, you go to the same places every time: so monotonic, you don't go to places that interest you personally, but where you'r... | 3 | 156 | [MLT:300] |
AskHistorians/d9xnd98 | 5ckseg | Did the treatment of Jews living in the Roman Empire worsen as Christianity became the dominant religion? | It is hard to define "worsen" but things were not good for Jews during the late Empire, when it Christianized.

This included supporting mystery religions like Mithraism... | 7 | 514 | [MLT:700] |

AskHistorians/ctfuoc6 | 3ehkwx | If I were a peasant farmer in the Middle Ages and the estate changed hands, would this impact me in a noticeable way? | It depends. Manorial methods and customs varied a great deal from region to region and even manor to manor, and they also varied across time, especially from the 14th century on. Your social status as free peasant or serf might also affect a change of lords. (Around half of English peasants were serfs until the 1400s, ... | 5 | 772 | [MLT:800] |
AskHistorians/e4gp3a2 | 98iepd | Why does England have so many churches that were built around 7-800 years ago? | This phenomenon is largely due to the advent of Gothic architecture in England and its development into what would become known as the English Perpendicular style. This style is defined by high, graceful curves and allowed for taller, more stable walls than the heavy, domed construction of Romanesque architecture which... | 2 | 207 | [MLT:300] |

AskHistorians/cukd9iw | 3itnv0 | What is the contribution of the Transatlantic slave trade to the current economic weight of Western countries? | It's been debated for decades, remains a political hot potato and may be beyond the capacity of economic accounting.

AskHistorians/dl97g2s | 6rynyk | Did the UK ever come close to any serious food shortages in WWII? | Not really. The Germans had a target of sinking ~300,000 tons of shipping each month in order to starve Britain, and overwhelm British/Allied ship production.
