 How exactly does a automatic weapon work?

When you shoot a gun, not all of the energy from the explosion gets transferred into the bullet. For ex, if you shoot a revolver, the kick will move your hands to a different position. Automatic weapons harness that mechanical energy using pistons, springs, and levers to cycles the gun completely. So basically you use a small part of the energy from the explosion to eject the spent casing, cycle the bolt, move a new cartridge into the chamber, and rearm the firing mechanism.

 Why is the US military low on money when it has more money than the next 8 countries combined?

> How is this happening when the US military has more money devoted to it than pretty much everything else on the entire planet? The US military probably *does* more things than any other military on the planet. Most militaries have a hard time operating outside their own country for any amount of time and doing so is difficult and resource intensive.

 How does sunscreen help protect our skin?

The sun puts out visible light that we can see, it also puts out light we can't see called ultra Violet or UV light. Our skin absorbs the UV light which causes damage we can see and feel as sunburn and eventually cancer. Sun screen is a combination of ingredients including metals like zinc or titanium which reflect most of the light away from our skin instead of allowing it to be absorbed. And organic chemicals which absorb the UV light before it can get to our skin It's like a camouflage to hide our skin from the UV light.

 What does % chance of rain really mean?

> They’d be better off just saying 50% every day and always being right. Except that it doesn't rain 50% of the time, so I don't see how that would be right. Rain probabilities are derived from current weather data like wind, temperature, air pressure, humidity, dew point, and so on. Over a long period of time, those percentages should correlate with what is observed.

 how does the bond market work?

Say I sell you a bond for $100. It's a contract that says in exactly 5 years, bring the contract back to me and I will give you $150. Sounds like a good deal to you because that's more than what you would get investing your money in the bank so you take it. Then after a year, the bank's interest rate jumps up a bit. You think that if they stay that way, you could make more than $150 by putting $100 in the bank instead. You are allowed to sell that bond to someone else and they can then bring it back to me on the same date we agreed on and I'll give them the $150 instead. So you find someone to buy the bond and they are willing to give you $105 for it (they only have to wait 4 years to cash it in now). They hold onto it for a year and then the banks drop their interest rates a lot. Lower than they were 2 years ago. So you go and see the person that you sold the bond to and ask if you can buy it back. But now because you can't get much money in interest from the bank you still think it's worthwhile to pay $120 to buy the bond back. TL;DR a bond is kind of like a fixed rate investment which can be traded.

 Why does the moon look like it is covered in asteroid craters, but Earth doesn’t?

A few reasons: 1. Plate tectonics. The Earth has plates that move, sink under each other, and re-emerge as lava elsewhere. The Moon has no tectonic activity. 2. Speaking of lava: volcanoes. The Moon doesn't have those, either. 3. Most importantly, erosion. The Earth has water and wind, which erode rock over time. There's no erosion on the Moon. 4. And let's not forget life. Plants and animals modify the landscape.

 Why can’t gravity be blocked or dampened?

The other explanations here are not really getting at the heart of your question (which isn't any different for gravity - other forces do the same thing). Your error is in going "this is a solid object and nothing can go through it". But what you think of as "solid objects" are not completely impenetrable. As an everyday example, light has absolutely no trouble going through glass. [EDITED to clarify: this part is here to explain to OP how their idea of 'solid' is inaccurate. It's not directly about how forces can go through things] ~~'Solid' objects don't fill up all the space in the region they occupy (in fact, they're not even *close* to filling up all the available space). They seem solid on human scales because electrons repel one another, so once two atoms get even somewhat close, they're pushed apart by the repulsion of the electrons in each atom.~~ On an even more fundamental level, fields (like the electromagnetic field or, if you set aside some of the weirder aspects of relativity for a sec, the gravitational field) aren't different things from the physical objects around you. Objects are "made of" these fields, in the same way that a wave in the ocean is made of water. What we think of as a particle is just a place where these fields take on different values from other parts of the field, in the same way that a wave is just a place where the water is a little bit higher. And so your question becomes, roughly, "how can water travel through a wave?". If this seems strange, well, it is. There's a reason it took fifty years and some very surprising experiments for the most brilliant minds in physics to figure it out.

Grid enlargement, where boxes are drawn on a picture and the stuff in the boxes is drawn on bigger boxes so they match. Projector enlargement, where a really bright light shines through the picture onto a big space and a special piece of curved glass called a lens makes the picture look good enough to trace where the light shines.

 Why are China's economic policies considered a threat to the US? Isn't the US being benefited by trade with China?

China for a while now has been intentionally devaluing their currency to make their products cheaper on the international market. This harms US companies as they cant compete when they are stuck using the much stronger dollar to make their products. If there were truly a free and open market currency(at least a stable one) wouldn't play a role in pricing. Attaching tariffs to Chinese goods is a way to balance out this deficit. Will it work? Maybe. In the short term this harms US consumers who can no longer get these goods as cheaply as before. If in the long term this leads to more open trade relations everyone will benefit. Historically though tariffs are probably a net loss.

 Why do animals in a particular ecological niche often look so similar even if they are completely unrelated?

This is a concept called "convergent evolution." Basically, if the pressures on one creature were such that flight was advantageous to survival in a particular environment, those same pressures could easily select for similar variations should they happen to randomly arise in another species. This is particularly true for those filing the same niche, as the pressures will be particularly similar.

 Why is it that the body's core being cold is fatal, but hands can be cold 24/7 and it's no problem?

The reason you need to keep a constant core temperature is for enzymes to work properly in vital organs like your Brain, heart and liver, etc to make essential biochemical reactions work. A person's vital organs are located in the head and chest. It's the same reason that you can live without arms or legs, but you can't live without a head or chest.

 Is ECMO basically like dialysis for the heart?

Similarities- They replace the function of an organ imperfectly to buy time for a permanent solution. Differences- Heart functions are needed constantly. Kidney functions can be left for a few days while still living a mostly normal life in between dialysis appointments. While I think it's commonly a mistake, dialysis can be performed indefinitely without seeking a transplant. Patients can survive for decades on dialysis, the longest ecmo patient is a less than two years and not getting an infection over that time is a minor miracle. So yes and no.

 When you touch really hot water, why does it feel cold?

Scientists aren't exactly sure. There are special nerves just under your skin called thermoreceptors which detect temperature. When activated, they send messages to the brain that say "this is hot," or "this is cold." For some reason, temperatures above 113 F sometimes fire off the "this is cold" response. It's most likely because the nerves are just freaking out from the extreme temperature and malfunctioning, but we can't say for sure yet.

If someone calls an ambulance for you and you don't need it then you won't be expected to pay anything.

 Why is "mama" the same word with the same meaning in languages that have nothing to do with each other from Africa to Europe?

Because "ma" is one of the easiest sounds to make, along with "da" and "pa". This means babies that are making random noises as they learn to talk will start out saying these sounds to get their parents' attention, and as a result people around the world took it as the words for parents. As for why "ma"-derived words almost universally mean mother and "da"/"pa"-derived words almost universally mean father, I don't know.

 Why are moving fan blades visible through a phones camera but not with the naked eye?

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on the brain. However, as I understand it, our eyes don't work like cameras. Our brains take in a certain amount of light in a given period of time and process that (kind of like a long exposure). So when something moves really fast, our eyes pick up the whole trail, but our brains process it as one image, so you see a blur. Cameras, on the other hand, use a shutter to actually cut off an image. When you're taking a video at 60 fps, then the shutter physically closes 60 times in a second and you get 60 images. So, as long as your shutter is fast enough, the fan blades will hardly move when the sensors are exposed to light and you don't get blur. Basically, as I understand it, it comes from our brains doing more of a continuous processing, versus cameras which are much more discrete, but I would love someone to fact check me on that.

 why do gears multiply forces ?

Gears (and levers) convert between force and distance. You can see this with [pulleys]( URL_0 ), which function just like gears. If you want to lift 1 ton, to about 1 meter height (to load it in a car), you can use a pulley system and apply 50 N (kg) of force, but you have to pull a long distance, 20 meters of rope, to lift that ton by 1 meter. You're trading effort over distance for force over a short distance. Gears do the same, they're trading the high speed of the motor (500 - 2000 rotations per minute) for a huge force at the wheels but slow rotation (30 - 300 rotations per minute).

 How do bits in a computer become meaningful to human beings?

Bits aren't meaningful. What they produce is meaningful. If I use the bits in a computer to generate a picture of my wife on a monitor, then I will value the computer and its "bits" for being able to provide me something valuable to me. I don't care about the bits themselves. No one does. They are only tools in a process that creates things of value.

 What kind of power do the board of directors have over an 'average' company?

So first, Board of Directors and majority share holders are different. They may overlap (i.e. majority shareholder is often on the board or even chairman of the board) How the Board interacts with the company is often dependent on well...how the company and the board are set up. Sometimes the board is much more of an advisory panel than a management panel. The power they hold, again, depends on the company but very often they are in charge of hiring/firing the CEO and sometimes other C-suite positions. Majority shareholders, through their majority shares have significant power to influence everything. Often times they are on the board, but even when they are not...they have most all the say when it comes to deciding who is on the board. There are typically, what are controlled voting and non-voting shares. For instance, Facebook when raising money sold a significant amount of non-voting shares to allow Zuckerberg to maintain all of the decision making power.

 How do companies make money from Product Placements in movies? I've never seen a product in a movie and wanted to buy it, so what positive (or negative) impact does it have for them?

It isn't about making you see a product and making you immediately want to buy it. It's about establishing brand by creating certain connections in your mind. For example, if I always product place my watches on the most successful put together men in shows, you'll start associating my brand with success and powerful men. Secondly it is about getting the name and product out there. The most often you see a product and the more you hear its name, the more it comes to mind when you do think about those products. If I ask you to name a soda right now, you'll probably say something like Coca-cola or pepsi. Not even necessarily because those are your favourite drinks, but because you've seen them over and over and over and over again in commercials. The goal is not making you see a watch in a show and making you immediately go 'I want a watch'. It's about influencing you so when you *do* eventually need to buy a new watch (and that point will come), the name of my watch brand comes up in your mind the quickest (which is associated with you buying the brand more quickly) and by having created a certain image in your mind, that can help you choose for my brand over any of the hundreds of other watch brands. If you want a watch that makes you look stylish and successful, a watch that you've seen on shows and associate with powerful, successful men will be one you more quickly make a choice for.

 What is this sun lockdown/solar minimum I’m hearing about and how will it affect us on Earth?

The sun has "seasons" like the earth but they repeat every 11 years or so, instead. During solar maximum, the sun is full of hotspots disrupting the sun's magnetic field which allows more powerful solar storms to occur more frequently. Solar miminum is the opposite. This means Summer might be a bit cooler.

 What is it about human psychology that causes us to find games like Candy Crush, Tetris, etc so satisfying?

These games are designed around having relatively frequent and very noticeable 'rewards' that stimulates chemicals in your brain that make you feel happy or satisfied. Particularly a chemical called dopamine. Rather than real life where rewards take much longer and are far less in your face. The brain is sucked into a loop: getting reward 'points' or items or what have you;anticipate getting more rewards, do thing that gives direct and immediate rewards. That's why people can play it for hours. Accomplishing most irl tasks require much longer periods between reward and anticipation. // Tl/Dr : the in game rewards make your brain release a lot of happy chemicals. More info: URL_0

 Why does the light from a blue LED light seem to sit offset from the source itself?

Sounds like it might be chromostereopsis, which is an effect in the contrast of certain colors perceived by many people. It has to do with the way our eyes receive certain wavelengths of light. Look at [this picture]( URL_0 ). If it looks like the men are "in front" of the blue background...particularly if you move your head back and forth while keeping your eyes focused on the image...that's chromostereopsis. It's more pronounced the further away (or smaller the picture) the source is. I see it everywhere I go, but only with my glasses on.

 What happens to the human body that makes it feel like cold isn't cold?

Your body can't actually sense temperature. It feels heat being absorbed or lost. So when you are losing heat your body tells you that your surroundings are cold. The more heat you lose the more you perceive your surroundings as being cold. Also, the greater the temperature differential between two things, the faster heat flows from one to the other. You are asking about how you can feel cold in a cold temperature but then ok in that same temperature later (when you have adjusted). This is the same thing as getting into a cold swimming pool: freezing at first but fine after you've been in it for a while. Your body adjusts by constricting blood flow in the extremities, so your skin is colder than your insides. When your skin was hotter there was a greater heat loss and you perceived it to be colder. When your skin was colder there was a smaller heat loss and your body tells you that means your surroundings are warmer (when it's really that your skin is colder).

 What is it about the dynamics of an explosion that causes damage, especially the impact damage on the human body?

The shock wave, which is also what separates combustion from explosion. If you have ever been to the ocean and got hit just right by a wave, it can knock you down. Knock the wind out of you. Explosions create a similar force but even stronger. Strong enough to cause concussions, strong enough to knock the wind out of you, strong enough to stop your heart. Shrapnel, what the explosion picks up and throws is very dangerous too, but the shock wave is absolutely deadly.

 Why can’t people who are in danger of drowning just do the starfish thing and float on their backs? Why do they have to tread water?

Two reasons... Not everyone is as buoyant as each other. People with a lower body fat percentage and a higher muscle density won't float as well as the opposite body type. Floating comfortably is only possible in still water. If you're in the ocean you will be getting pushed around by waves and currents.

 What is gentrification? Why do people think it’s good or bad?

Gentrification as I understand it is an "enriching of the neighborhood" usually meaning more affluent people are moving in. People who think it's good see these people as more able to put money into the businesses surrounding them, and the neighborhood is more likely to see urban improvement as their tax dollars are surely also valuable, and there may be a loose belief that having "hard-working people" around will reduce crime by having less people in the area who may turn to crime to get by, or from the second point where cop presence may be bigger. People who think it's bad see an obvious problem: skyrocketing rents. Let's take San Francisco. Becoming Silicon Valley and having a lot of money in the area has caused rents to balloon, because there are more people in the area able to pay more for a given apartment/house. "Charge what the market will bear." But this doesn't just target the people coming in with more money, it's often sweeping changes across whole areas that also hit people who already live there. Imagine paying $1000/mo for your apartment then suddenly they want to charge $1500, then $2000, over the course of just a few years instead of keeping pace with inflation or something. People who have lived in a neighborhood for sometimes *decades* get forced out by suddenly not being able to afford to live there even though they afforded it just fine before gentrification. This segues into the next problem, homelessness. Again with San Fran, it's becoming a huge problem and it's caused in part by suddenly not being able to afford the roof over your head. So from there you get streets that reek of urine and feces, you get "defensive architecture" installed intended to make homeless people sleep elsewhere, and you get hardworking people suddenly living out of a box at no fault of their own.

> how does a virus like "Petya" lock a computer so that it can't just simply be deleted The software takes everything on the hard-drive and encrypts it. Everything, including OS that gets loaded at bootup. So when it reboots, instead of grabbing the OS you expect it to grab, the virus have it load itself. Computers run and operate out of RAM, but that goes away when you turn it off. When a computer boots up, it's loading software from the hard-drive to RAM. (Which is why SSDs make bootup times faster). > and how do the makers receive the ransom money without their identities being disclosed? Typically bit-coin. With the right key to a bundle of bit-coins, they can sell that to other people for cash. Their "bit-coin" ID is forever stamped into the logs, but there's no real way to associate that ID with their real ID.

 Why can babies learn to speak a language just by being exposed to it regularly for a couple of months but adults can't?

It's worth noting that it actually takes babies 2-3 years to learn to speak a language (to be fair they understand it in-depth much quicker than that, but speech takes a long time). By the age of 2 most children will be speaking and saying at least 1-2 word commands ("Daddy car", "mummy gone"), with many moving on to 3-4 word statements/mini-sentences ("daddy go park" that sort of thing). By comparison most adults could get from no language capability to a wide range of 1-2 word commands in a matter of days/weeks. And...If all they ever heard was the new language (which is what the child tends to experience) then the language acquisition will be likely faster than that (like what u/rewboss said).

 Where are backdoors /security flaws from ?

Backdoors and Security Flaws are ways to circumnavigate normal digital security or access permissions to get access to data that you shouldn't have direct access to. The difference is backdoors are intentionally created or left there at the request of a government or other authority so that the "good guys" will always have a way in if they need to get someones information. This is very obviously not great as it is very hard to prevent backdoors from getting leaked or abused like the reports of NSA agents caught with people's nude photos from iCloud and other cloud storage platforms. As to where they come from, security flaws are generally oversights in the software design just like locking all the doors to your house but leaving a window unlocked. As far as an example, as to what a flaw "really" is, as always there's a [relevant XKCD]( URL_0 ) about the HeartBleed vunerability.

 Why do you often hit a motivational wall before doing the last part of a task?

I recently took a knitting class, and the teacher mentioned that this is really common problem for many knitters. Once the project is almost done, they lose motivation just finish up those last few rows and bind off. Her theory was that once you can actually see the thing you were trying to create, you get most of the satisfaction of the finished project, so you just stop. Maybe this is also true for creating other, less physical things too. Once your vision is mostly realized, to the point where you can 'see' the big picture, you're satisfied with that.

 How exactly does aging of cells work and how come some organisms get to live really long lives and some age very fast?

Cell aging happens because each time a cell divides there is a chance that the division doesn't happen perfectly and one of the resulting daughter cells has a flaw and doesn't function correctly. This mostly happens at the tail end of the DNA which is the last piece to split when your DNA replicates itself. At the end of your DNA is a tail made of something called Telomeres which are basically junk DNA which exists to try and prevent this DNA damage, but each time your cells divide some of the telomeres are sacrificed until eventually you have none left to prevent DNA damage. Then when your cells split the DNA is damaged and this shows up as aging. Eventually some critical cells are so damaged that they don't function well enough to keep you alive and you die. Different organisms have different ways of dealing with this problem. Some are more effective than others which is why we all live for different lengths.

 Why does tap water (and fountain water) taste different in different cities even though I'm in the same state?

Most fountain water is unfiltered tap water. Different cities have different laws and practices of which chemicals in what concentrations they use to treat the water. Different types/ages of piping can also affect taste. The closer to the treatment plant you are, the more chlorine you'll taste/smell because it's still floating free to maintain the legally required residual. Additionally, some places get their water from aquifers, some from surface sources, some from rainfall collection, and some from a combination. This will also effect the taste because the water starts with different pH, particulates, and dissolved minerals like calcium (hard water). Lastly, temperature can have a huge impact on the perceived taste of any beverage.

It is not harder, but at high enought speed the effect is the same. You die. Imagine for example what happens when you slowly soak your hand in water, there is no resistance. Slap the water and you will feel the impact. Slap it hard enought and you will feel pain. This happens because when you go slow the water mollecules have enought time to get out of your way. The faster you go the harder you will have to push to make them move faster. Go fast enought and they will really resist it so hard they will feel like a solid to you. Consider that what kills you is not the fall but the sudden stop at the end. Ig you go slow the water will resist you enought to gently stop you but if you go fast enought it will stop you suddently.

 How did the blue raspberry flavor come about?

Because some raspberries are actually blue! Well, blue-ish. The fruit of the 'white bark raspberry' is red when unripe but can turn blue as it ripens, though when it's properly ripe it's usually purple or black. In sweet flavoured foods, using blue for raspberry helps distinguish it from strawberry or cherry.

 How exactly did privatization of student loan debt in the US affect tuition rates?

Colleges sell a product that isn't cheap. A 4 year degree requires professors, classrooms, equipment, etc... It very likely costs them no less than $5-10k/year per student. Some of that may be subsidized, but that's a different conversation. That means your target market is someone looking for education that also has access to at least $30k. However, if someone is too old, they're more likely to find a career that pays well enough that college doesn't justify it's expense. That means your target market is also under 25 years old. So now you need 18-21yo kids that also have $30k in the bank. Without Student Loans, that means kids of rich parents, or the kind of kids your donors (scholarships) want to see. Pretty small market. Then Student Loans are invented. Suddenly nearly every 18-20yo has access to $40k, and your target market has grown ten-fold. Those with rich parents can reasonably afford $100-500k in tuition. If your boss was willing to pay $20/hr, would you ask for only $10/hr because that's what you know you're worth? Fuck now, you ask for $25 and settle for $21/hr, because why leave money on the table? You're obviously worth it! Same with universities. They're not looking to leave money on the table. Their target market is now "Everyone aged 18-24", and up to 40 if you count grad school. The "good" colleges have so much demand they can raise their prices and still fill classrooms.

 is it more efficient to turn off your heat or to turn it down when going to sleep/leaving your home for long periods of time?

It's always more *efficient* (or at least *as efficient*) to turn it off, but that's not the primary concern when it comes to one's home. Overnight, there's a minimum temperature below which the occupants will get uncomfortable. Set the thermostat to that level. If the home passively retains enough heat overnight to remain above that level, your energy savings will be identical to turning the heat off entirely. There's also a minimum temperature below which damage can occur to plumbing and appliances. When leaving the home for a day or longer, set the thermostat to that level to avoid expensive repairs. Again, if the home passively retains enough heat while you're away to remain above that level, your energy savings will be identical to turning the heat off entirely.

 why do our nails curl round when they're extremely long?

I’m going to make a completely uninformed guess. The face of the nail is exposed to all kinds of hazards / environmental stresses, so it has to grow an extra-thick layer of hard protein to protect it. The cells on the underside, protected as the are from those factors, don’t need that layer, and are thereby physically smaller. Larger, thicker cells growing on the outer part of the nail cause the overall structure to curve over and in on itself. Does that sound reasonable?

 Why does some face wash bring out more acne even if it considered harsher for you skin?

Some harsher face washes have chemicals that severly dry out your skin. This temporarily may help your acne. But your body then notices how dry your skin is and will produces extra oils to moisten your skin. This increased level of oil then creates more acne and the viscious cycle begins again. I hope this makes sense.

 If wealth was equally distributed throughout a first World country, what would the quality if life be like for any given individual?

Conceptually, basically identical for the average income level. For extremely wealthy people only a small proportion of their wealth is in the form of amenities. An expensive mansion can really only house a few people in total, they only have so many clothes, etc. Spreading them over the entire population does effectively nothing. Most of their wealth is ownership of companies or property, and distributing that ownership doesn't do anything for people's standard of living. Shuffling who owns the factories around doesn't make *more stuff exist.* It might seem that an individual could sell their stock and increase their standard of living, but who is buying in this situation? In short this entire concept is premised on a shallow and incomplete understanding of wealth, money, and the economy.

 How can we split an atom of atoms technically never touch?

Touching is a weird concept. When you think about touching from the perspective of the sense of touch, what you are sensing is pressure, or force. Do atoms exert forces on each other? Certainly yes, via electrostatic repulsion and the pauli exclusion principle. Do atoms have hard surfaces that can directly come into contact with each other? No, at an atomic scale, is doesn't make sense to think about subatomic particles at hard objects with some defined surface that can touch another hard object with a defined surface.

 How do apple/google maps know where traffic is and how quickly can it be worked out?

Since they track everybody's locations in real time, they knowl how fast you are moving. If a group of people they are tracking are suddenly stopped or slowing down on an open the road, it's obviously a traffic situation. Google has also added real time user updates like Waze used to do, to supplement that information.

 Why is it mathematically impossible to solve polynomials of degree 5 or higher?

[This is one of the deepest rabbit holes of mathematics, actually]( URL_0 ). The question seems innocent enough, but it drops off like the continental shelf. It's been driving mathematicians nuts since the 1500s. Then a French kid named [Evariste Galois]( URL_1 ), figures out the answer to this question (which is profound) as a fucking teenager....but then gets involved in revolutionary politics, goes to prison, and then somehow ends up getting killed in a duel at the age of 20 (1832). People are *still* getting PhDs exploring all the ramifications of what he came up with almost two centuries later. As a fucking teenager.

 Why does money "adjusted for inflation" still lack purchasing power?

Inflation adjustment is meant to take out the common changes in price over time, but it isn't supposed to make everything cost the same always. If it did, we wouldn't stand to learn much from the prices. It's worth noting that many things have substantially *decreased* in price after accounting for inflation. Most things that are now mass produced (clothes, consumer goods/electronics, many foods) were much more expensive when we had less efficient technologies for producing them. Some things can't be made significantly cheaper with technology, like land near a population center or educational services, so their real prices haven't benefited from new technologies and may have increased for other reasons too.

 Why does a company want to sell my personal info? To whom? For how much? What's the data even look like?

So the big common misunderstanding is that Facebook, Google, and most large companies **don't** actually sell your personal information. Yes they collect it, but they don't sell it. Smaller and more unscrupulous companies will sell your data though, usually to email spammers. The big guys instead collect it, research it, and both share the results of that research and use that research to build more targeted ads. If some random company is like "I have a product for cat lovers, I'd love to buy some ads on facebook in front of people who like cats" Facebook can not only make *exactly that* happen for that company, they can also tell things like "people over 40 are more likely to click on these links" "surfers are more likely to click on these links" and stuff like that. So now you can put your ads for cat products in front of surfers too, since you know they're more likely to buy it than other demographics. Knowing *what kind of person* wnats to buy your stuff is extremely important, because it lets you put the ads or the product right in front of the kind of people who are most likely to be your customers.

 How does your body know to increase the amount you have to go to the bathroom, the closer you get to your house?

It's entirely neurological. It's like Pavlov's experiment with dogs. Our brains don't make every sensation conscious. If it did, we would be overwhelmed by sensory input. As our bladder becomes more full, the stretch activates our brain to want to pee. Our brain has adapted over time to activate that response based on our memory to choose the best time to bring it to our consciousness. Ultimately, the answer is that our brain makes a lot of decisions that don't make it to our consciousness. Breathing is a good example. You don't typically decide to breathe.

 The cult of Volvo owners. What makes Volvos so beloved? What makes them preferable/superior to other manufacturers?

Volvos are incredibly safe. They're engineered to safety standards that far surpass regular US standards. One of the founders of Volvo had a wife killed in an auto accident and ever since then, they've been pioneers in automobile safety and standards. They enforce standards that haven't been made required yet which is why they surpass legal guidelines.
