| Posted: 17 Jan 2019 09:56 AM PST For example, in cultures where it's commonplace for women to be topless, are breasts typically considered arousing? There surely still are (and at least there have been) small tribes where clothing is not worn at all. Is sexuality in these groups affected by these standards? A relation could be made between western nudist communities. Are there (native or non-western) cultures that commonly fetishize body parts other than the western standard of vagina, penis, butt and breasts? If so, is clothing in any way related to this phenomenom? MOST IMPORTANTLY: If I was to do research on this topic myself, is there even any terminology for "sexuality of a culture relating to clothes"? Thank you in advance of any good answers.

| Posted: 18 Jan 2019 06:33 AM PST I know that swine flu and avian flu mutated from their respective variants, and ebola is often found in monkeys, but how does something like rabies so readily effect large varieties of species? Swine flu makes sense, because farmers would be commonly exposed and a rare mutation would allow it to jump, but how can a rabid animal spread to humans so easily? Also, are their other diseases that readily jump to vastly different species? [link] [comments]  |

| Why do some planets seem to have lines all over them? Posted: 18 Jan 2019 05:07 AM PST I've noticed in some pictures of planets that there's are these long lines that radiate out of certain points. What causes these? Are they physical features or some consequence of how light works? I've mainly noticed it with mercury and the moon in case you're not sure what I'm talking about.

| Does IQ relate to vulnerability to depression and other mental health issues? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 08:36 PM PST I'm not very educated when it comes to the human brain. Could it only be on the two extremes of the spectrum, lower income and lower IQ because of the problems faced by said part of society and the higher end of the spectrum, higher class and educated because of the stress of day to day life.

| Why can there be no proper subfields of Z/pZ? Posted: 18 Jan 2019 05:18 AM PST I'd like to start off by saying I've tried googling but have not found a satisfactory proof yet. This is probably because I'm misunderstanding something about fields. My theory book says:
So suppose we take Z/7Z and Z/3Z. Now obviously 3 and 7 are both prime so these are both fields so all of the above except the subset property already holds. Also obviously it holds that the set of elements (residue classes) of Z/3Z are all contained in Z/7Z so this set of elements is a subset of the other. Now according to the above quote this would mean Z/3Z is a subfield of Z/7Z right? I'm pretty sure something about my understanding of fields is wrong so if someone could point out what I would be eternally grateful. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| How long are sleep cycles at the bottom of the ocean? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 10:22 AM PST Do fish living at depths where no sun light penetrates sleep? How regularly and for how long? What ques do they use to determine when to sleep and when to be active? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2019 09:00 PM PST From an evolutionary perspective, it seems on the surface that bugs looked the same today as they did back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Amber of frozen insects don't immediately make apparent that millions of years of evolution separate that trapped insect with insects in 2019. Is there anything, perhaps internally or otherwise, that we know has changed about insects over the course of all these years? What do their evolution, or ostensible lack thereof, tell us about the Earth? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is Technetium Radioactive? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 07:41 PM PST I get the concept of larger atoms being unstable because the strong force gets weaker with the larger diameter of the nucleus, but why is Technetium with only 43 protons radioactive when other elements that are even larger like gold, xenon, lead, etc. are stable? What makes this element unstable? [link] [comments]  |

| If the North Pole of the Earth is moving around, does that mean the South Pole is moving equally? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 04:26 PM PST I've been seeing all the recent headlines about the Earth's magnetic north pole moving around, and this has me wondering why the story is only about the north pole and not the south. I've always assumed that the magnetic poles of the Earth are directly opposite of each other. If the South pole is not moving equivalently to the North pole, does this suggest that the magnetic field is being bent? [link] [comments]  |

| How do we get Vitamin D from sunlight? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 11:50 AM PST Does sunlight have vitamin D floating in it, and if so how do we get it through our skin? [link] [comments]  |
| Why Sun’s energy is so consistent? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 04:37 PM PST Why the nuclear reactions on the sun doesn't escalate like any other explosion? What makes it so consistent? [link] [comments]  |
| Why snow doesn't cleanse air as well as rain? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 01:39 PM PST I live in a place with spells of poor air quality. I've noticed that just light rain improves the air quality significantly (as measured, before it returns to its previous level of pollution) whereas a significant amount of snowfall in a day doesn't have much of an impact. This is always the case. Why does it happen? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2019 11:00 AM PST The atmosphere contains 0.04% CO2. At low temperatures of under -80°C, CO2 can freeze. The stratosphere/mesosphere boundry has temperatures far below this. Does carbon dioxide have a "dewpoint" in air that keeps it from freezing out? [link] [comments]  |
| What determines how long a bubble will survive on the surface of a liquid? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 05:00 PM PST I made some tea and noticed that the bubbles on top caused from the stirring seem to last forever. So it got me thinking how soap bubbles and apparently tea have very long lasting bubbles, while with plain water the bubbles made seem to pop right away? Is there a property of liquids (like maybe viscosity) that determines how long these bubbles will last? [link] [comments]  |
| Are photons emitted with a direction? Posted: 17 Jan 2019 10:01 AM PST If an excited electron in a hydrogen atom goes back to its ground state and emits a photon, what direction does it go in? Say the detector is a sphere, and the atom was inside of it. Is there anyway to figure out where the photon might hit the detector relative to the atoms' random (or non random) motion?
