There are a few reasons why people might abstain from corn on the cob: Messy to eat: Corn on the cob can be messy to eat, with kernels flying and butter dripping. This can be a turn-off for some people, especially in formal settings. Difficulty: It can be difficult to get all the kernels off the cob, and some people find it tedious or frustrating. Etiquette: Traditionally, corn on the cob is considered a finger food, which can be seen as impolite in some cultures. Dental issues: People with loose teeth or dentures might find it difficult to bite into corn on the cob. Alternatives: Creamed corn or pre-cut corn kernels offer a neater and easier way to enjoy corn. Of course, many people love the taste and experience of eating corn on the cob! It's a fun and informal way to enjoy summer produce. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

There are a few reasons why people get frustrated with Apple: Price: Apple products are generally known for being more expensive than comparable devices from other manufacturers. Closed ecosystem: Apple devices tend to work best with other Apple devices. This can be frustrating for people who want to use their Apple devices with non-Apple products. Limited customization: Apple doesn't allow for as much customization of its devices as some other manufacturers. This can be frustrating for people who want to personalize their devices. Lack of features: Sometimes, Apple lags behind competitors in terms of offering certain features. Design choices: Some people find Apple's design choices, like the removal of the headphone jack or inability to easily expand storage, to be frustrating. Business practices: Apple has been criticized for practices like throttling the performance of older iPhones or not being transparent about certain features. It's important to remember that these are just some of the reasons why people get frustrated with Apple. Apple also has many loyal fans who appreciate the ease of use, security, and integration of its products. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Rizz, which is basically shorthand for charisma in the dating world, can definitely be learned to an extent. Here's why: Rizz is built on skills: Rizz involves things like confidence, conversation skills, and the ability to read social cues. These are all learnable. You can practice your conversation skills with friends or take classes to improve your social fluency. Charisma can be studied: There's actual research on charisma, and it shows that using certain techniques can make you more magnetic [Psychology Today]. So, learning these techniques can boost your rizz. Practice makes progress: Like any skill, the more you put yourself out there and interact with people, the more comfortable you'll become. This can lead to smoother interactions and a more natural kind of rizz. However, there are some things to keep in mind: Authenticity is key: While you can learn skills, people can spot a fake a mile away. Being genuine and interested in others is a big part of rizz. Not everyone wants the same thing: Rizz isn't a magic bullet. What works for one person might not work for another. It's about finding the right approach for the situation. Confidence comes from within: While you can project confidence, true rizz comes from a place of self-acceptance. Work on liking yourself, and that will shine through. So, while you might not be able to turn into Casanova overnight, you can definitely develop your rizz with some effort and practice. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

There's no scientific study on dads and voice notes, but here are some reasons why dads might favor them: Easier than typing: Dads who aren't fans of texting or find typing slow might prefer voice notes. It's faster to record a message than crafting a text. More personal touch: A voice note can convey tone and emotion better than just text. Dads might like feeling like they're having a real conversation. Multitasking: Dads on the go (think: errands, commuting) can record a message while doing other things, whereas texting might require stopping. Shyness with emotions: Some dads might find expressing themselves emotionally through text awkward. A voice note can feel less pressure-filled. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

The term "legally sleepy" doesn't have a direct legal definition. However, sleepiness can intersect with the law in a couple of ways: Drowsy Driving: In most places, driving under the influence (DUI) laws apply to drugs and alcohol, but also to impairment caused by fatigue. While there's no set threshold for sleep deprivation like there is for blood alcohol content, some states (like New Jersey and Arkansas) have laws against driving while excessively tired. Work Regulations: Certain professions, especially those involving operating heavy machinery or driving long distances, may have regulations around sleep hours. For instance, truck drivers have restrictions on how many hours they can drive without a break. So, there's no legal definition of "legal sleepiness" but being too tired can have legal repercussions depending on the situation. If you're feeling very sleepy, it's safest to avoid driving or operating dangerous equipment. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

There isn't necessarily something wrong with not being negative enough. However, it can depend on the situation. Here's a breakdown: Benefits of positivity: A positive outlook can be motivating, help you cope with stress, and build stronger relationships. It can also lead to more creative thinking and better problem-solving. Drawbacks of excessive positivity: Sometimes, negativity can be a signal that something needs attention. Ignoring problems or brushing them aside can make them worse in the long run. Additionally, unrealistic optimism can set you up for disappointment. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Misunderstanding the term: "Anal-retentive" is a psychology term describing someone who is excessively concerned with orderliness or control. But people often misuse "anal" to just mean uptight, missing the original meaning. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Excessive Social Media Scrolling is Common: Studies show people spend a significant amount of time scrolling on social media and other platforms. This can lead to negative consequences like sleep deprivation and decreased productivity. The Algorithmic Rabbit Hole: Social media algorithms are designed to keep you engaged, feeding you content that aligns with your interests. This can create a loop where you keep scrolling without realizing how much time has passed. So, while "dream scrolling" might not be a common term, the behavior it describes – mindlessly scrolling for extended periods – is certainly popular. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

There are no wigs specifically designed for walking. However, there are several features to consider in a wig that you might wear while walking: Security: A well-fitting wig is less likely to slip or come off during movement. Look for wigs with adjustable straps or combs for a secure fit. Comfort: A lightweight wig will be more comfortable to wear for extended periods, especially during physical activity. Style: Shorter styles or wigs with styles that can be pulled back into a low ponytail or bun might be more practical for walking, especially if you're worried about wind or snags. Here are some types of wigs that might be suitable for walking: Short wigs: Short wigs are naturally lighter and cooler than long wigs, and they are less likely to get tangled or snag on something. Lace front wigs: Lace front wigs create a natural-looking hairline that blends in with your skin. This can be a good option if you are concerned about the wig looking obvious. Synthetic wigs: Synthetic wigs are typically less expensive than human hair wigs and are easier to care for. They are also a good option if you are looking for a wig in a variety of colors or styles. Ultimately, the best wig for walking is the one that you find most comfortable and secure. Reading online reviews and talking to a wig stylist can help you find a wig that meets your needs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

It's possible to take a hotel robe without permission, but it is considered stealing. Here's why: Hotel property: Robes are meant for guest use during their stay, not as souvenirs. They're inventoried just like furniture or towels. Potential charges: Many hotels add a hefty replacement fee to your bill if a robe is missing. Some even have tags on the robes stating this explicitly. Here are some alternatives: Ask to purchase: Some hotels allow you to buy the robe if you really like it. Just inquire at the front desk. Look for similar robes: If you're attached to the robe's style or comfort, you can likely find similar ones online or in stores. In short, while taking the robe might seem easy, it's best to avoid the hassle and potential charges. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

The cost of having a baby in the United States can vary widely depending on several factors, including: Health insurance: Having health insurance can significantly reduce the cost of childbirth.

Type of birth: Vaginal deliveries are typically less expensive than cesarean sections (C-sections). Uncomplicated vaginal deliveries average around $11,453, while C-sections average $17,103 [Investopedia]. Location: Costs can vary depending on the hospital or birthing center you choose and the cost of living in your area. Pregnancy complications: Any complications during pregnancy or childbirth can significantly increase the cost. Here's a breakdown of some of the potential costs: Prenatal care: This includes doctor visits, ultrasounds, and other tests throughout your pregnancy.

Postpartum care: This includes doctor visits after delivery to check on your health and the baby's health. Baby supplies: You'll need to purchase a crib, car seat, diapers, clothes, and other essentials for your baby. Here are some resources that can help you estimate the cost of having a baby: Cost calculators: Many health insurance companies and online resources offer cost calculators that can help you estimate the cost of childbirth based on your specific circumstances. Your doctor: Your doctor can give you an estimate of the cost of your prenatal care and delivery. Hospital or birthing center: The hospital or birthing center you plan to use can provide you with information about their costs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Technically, we don't experience sleep in the same way as deep or light sleep. Sleep is cyclical, with stages that progress from light to deep sleep, then back to lighter stages and REM sleep [1]. However, there is a concept called "shallow sleep syndrome" which describes getting enough sleep (in terms of duration) but not achieving the restorative, deeper stages [2]. This can leave you feeling tired and unrefreshed in the morning. Here are some signs you might be experiencing shallow sleep: Feeling tired during the day Difficulty concentrating Irritability Mood swings Difficulty remembering things If you suspect you have shallow sleep, there are steps you can take to improve your sleep quality.

Roasts are about taking jabs: The whole point of a roast is to playfully insult the roastee. If you can't laugh at yourself a little, it can come across as thin-skinned. He reportedly enjoyed most of it: Brady himself said he found the jokes funny, especially those directed at him. It's good publicity: A lot of celebrities use roasts to stay relevant and show their lighter side. However, there are also reasons why people might understand Brady's perspective: Family's reaction: While Brady enjoyed the jokes, his comments suggest they upset his children. That's a valid concern for any parent. Jokes can go too far: While roasts are meant to be funny, some people might feel the humor crossed a line. Regret is normal: It's okay to change your mind. Maybe Brady underestimated how the roast would affect him or his family. Ultimately, it's up to each person to decide if they think Brady's reaction is justified. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

There are still many restaurants that offer free refills on soda, especially in the United States. These include: Fast food restaurants:This is the most common place to find free soda refills. Almost all fast food chains, such as Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and KFC, offer free refills on fountain drinks. Family-friendly restaurants:Many family-friendly restaurants, such as Applebee's, IHOP, and Denny's, also offer free refills on soda. Applebee's restaurant Diners: Many diners offer free refills on soda as well. However, it is becoming less common for full-service restaurants to offer free soda refills. Some restaurants may charge for refills, or they may not have fountain drinks at all. Here are some tips for finding restaurants that offer free soda refills: Look for restaurants with soda fountains. Check the restaurant's website or menu. The menu may mention if free refills are included. Ask your server. They will be able to tell you for sure if the restaurant offers free refills on soda. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

There are a few reasons why people might feel better off not knowing certain things: Protecting themselves from emotional distress: Some information can be upsetting, disturbing, or even traumatic. For example, someone might avoid knowing the details of a terminal illness to protect themselves and their loved ones from emotional pain. Maintaining a sense of control: Sometimes, knowing the inner workings of something can make it feel less predictable or controllable. For instance, people might avoid learning about the sausage-making process to avoid ruining their enjoyment of eating hot dogs. Avoiding decision paralysis: Having too much information can make it hard to make a decision. People might choose ignorance to simplify a complex situation and avoid the stress of overthinking. Preserving innocence or wonder: Not knowing everything can leave room for curiosity and a sense of wonder. This can be especially true for children, who might be shielded from certain information to protect their innocence. Trusting others to handle it: In some cases, people might feel more comfortable letting others handle certain information, especially if it's technical or specialized knowledge. For instance, you might trust your mechanic to diagnose your car trouble without needing all the details yourself. It's important to note that there's a balance to be struck. While ignorance can be bliss in some situations, knowledge is often empowering and can help us make better choices. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Singing to your cat can potentially create a stronger bond between you for a few reasons: Positive attention: Any attention you give your cat, even if it's singing an off-key tune, shows you care and are interested in them. Soothing sounds: Cats tend to respond well to higher-pitched tones and calmer voices. Singing in a gentle way can be relaxing for them. Routine and familiarity: If you sing to your cat regularly, they may come to associate your singing with positive feelings and your presence. It's important to note that not all cats will enjoy being sung to. Some might find it annoying. Here are some tips for singing to your cat: Pay attention to their body language. If they seem disinterested or annoyed (flattened ears, hissing, swatting), stop singing. Use a calm and gentle voice. You can try singing higher-pitched tones, which are more similar to how cats communicate with each other. Overall, singing to your cat is a low-pressure way to potentially bond with them. It's worth a try to see if your feline friend enjoys your serenade! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

There is a widespread dislike for Jerald Seinfeld, and there are some reasons certain people might not be fans: Humor Style: Seinfeld's humor is observational and often finds humor in the mundane. Some viewers might find this style dry or uninteresting, preferring slapstick or more relatable characters. Character Portrayal: Jerry, the character on the show, is often seen as self-centered and neurotic. People who dislike this type of personality might not enjoy the show. Recent Events: A 2024 controversy at a college speaking engagement where he expressed support for Israel might have turned off some viewers. However, Seinfeld remains popular. Here's why some might still enjoy him: Classic Show: "Seinfeld" was a huge hit, and nostalgia keeps it relevant. Observational Comedy: If you find humor in everyday annoyances, Seinfeld's observations might resonate. Influential Sitcom: The show's "show about nothing" concept influenced many sitcoms today. Ultimately, humor is subjective. What one person finds funny, another might not. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens in the eye, which is normally clear. The lens helps focus light rays onto the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. When the lens becomes cloudy, it scatters light and prevents a clear image from reaching the retina. This can cause blurred vision, dimmed vision, and difficulty seeing colors. There are two main reasons why people get cataracts: Aging: This is the most common cause of cataracts. As we age, the proteins in the lens of the eye can break down and clump together, causing the lens to become cloudy. pen_spark Opens in a new window www.nhs.uk Aging and Cataracts Other medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, can increase the risk of developing cataracts. Other factors that can contribute to cataracts include: Injury to the eye Long-term use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids Exposure to radiation Family history of cataracts If you think you or your grandpa might have cataracts, it's important to see an eye doctor for a diagnosis. Cataracts are usually treated with surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens. Cataract surgery is a very common and successful procedure. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

People get mistaken for airport workers for a few reasons: Similar attire: Some civilian clothing can resemble certain airport worker uniforms. For example, a blue collared shirt and khaki pants might be worn by both a passenger and a ramp agent. Carrying luggage or equipment: Luggage handlers and other airport staff often carry rolling suitcases or specialized equipment. A passenger with a lot of luggage or an unusual travel bag might be mistaken for someone working there. Looking busy or purposeful: People who appear to know where they're going and move with a sense of urgency at the airport could be misread as staff, especially if they're consulting schedules or maps. Unfamiliarity with airport roles: Not everyone is familiar with the different jobs at an airport. They might assume anyone who looks official is an employee. It's especially frustrating when it happens to pilots, who have distinct uniforms! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Disagreement or Dislike: This is a pretty common one. People might block celebrities whose opinions they disagree with, or if they find their content uninteresting or annoying. Taking a Stand: Sometimes blocking celebrities is a bigger movement. There have been trends, particularly on platforms like TikTok, where people block celebrities in protest. This could be because the celebrity hasn't spoken up about an issue the user cares about, or if they've done something controversial. The idea is that by blocking them, they're taking away the attention and engagement the celebrity craves. Protecting their own space: Social media can feel overwhelming, especially with celebrity content. Blocking someone is a way to curate your feed and only see what you want to see. Ultimately, it's up to the individual user to decide who they follow and who they block. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message

Dislike of the moving process itself is definitely a factor, but it's not the only reason people stay put. Here are some of the bigger reasons: High Costs: Moving can be expensive, with rising housing costs making it difficult to find affordable options in a new location https://www.cbsnews.com/video/jobs-return-but-long-term-unemployed-still-left-behind/. Job Security: Two-income households and a less mobile job market make people hesitate to uproot their careers for a new opportunity https://www.cbsnews.com/video/jobs-return-but-long-term-unemployed-still-left-behind/.

There are a couple of reasons crock pots, also known as slow cookers, are so popular: Convenience: This is a big one. You throw the ingredients in, set the timer, and forget about it until dinner. Perfect for busy schedules or if you want a hot meal waiting when you get home. Flavor development: Slow cooking allows flavors to meld and develop over time, which can result in more complex and delicious dishes than quicker cooking methods. Tenderizes tough cuts: Slower cooking at a lower temperature breaks down collagen in meats, making even inexpensive, tougher cuts fork-tender and juicy. Easy cleanup: Since most of the cooking happens in one pot, cleanup is a breeze. Versatility: Crock pots can be used for a wide variety of dishes, from soups and stews to pulled pork and even desserts.

There are a few reasons why people might feel betrayed by their toilet: Broken Trust: Toilets are relied upon for a very basic human need. When they malfunction – overflowing, clogging, or failing to flush – it's a disruption to a routine and can feel like a violation of that trust. Vulnerability: Toilets handle waste, and a malfunction exposes us to something unpleasant and potentially unsanitary. This can be stressful and make us feel vulnerable. Inconvenience: A broken toilet throws a wrench into our day. It can be messy to deal with, require a plumber, and disrupt our schedule. This frustration can be directed at the toilet itself. Humor: Often, the feeling of betrayal is tongue-in-cheek. It's a way to express the frustration of the situation in a humorous way. It's important to note that toilets are inanimate objects. They can't betray us intentionally. But the emotions caused by a malfunction are very real! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moodkillers/message
