Stupid Question Thread

Why do people buy jeans that are full of holes,

Why do some uk news readers have to stand up while reading the news ,instead of sitting at a desk. why do the female presenters wear high heels .i can understand why models and female actors wear high heels ,its too look cool or sexy.

i don,t need someone who reads the news to be cool or sexy .

i presume they are maybe copying the usa style of news .

If I watch the news i,d like someone who is intelligent and understand current affairs and politics and can be easily understood . I think the presenters on sky news look better ,they are usually sitting beside a desk.does anyone under the age of 40 watch tg4 original programs ,most of the programs are boring old fashioned apart from the american drama series or films they show.

i,d have to be under the influence of drugs to watch any program where everyone speaks in irish.

theres plenty of good programs avaidable on bbc,itv, rte evn if you leave out youtube and other streaming apps.

Whenever you hear of a tragic death, like an accident or murder, you'll always see the media refer to the victim as being 'named locally'. What does that even mean? Does it differentiate from something else? Surely by the nature of them being a family member of someone, it will be local info.

Same goes for 'localised flooding'. I'm sure even the great flood of Noah's time was local to someone!

we have a lot of potted plants in our house which I take care of, but I’ve noticed when I’m watering them that my wife, who I love, keeps putting her toe nail cuttings in the pots. Is this okay ? I find it frustrating but I don’t want to anger her

Is it illegal to drink alcohol and drive a car?

Clarification: I am driving in a car *in Ireland, open can of beer in the cup-holder that I am sipping from, I get stopped and breathalysed and found to be under the limit.. Have I done anything legally wrong?

No more than a coffee… I get that it is not a good look, but interested in the legal outcome.

Head bands / sweat bands...

Why were they so popular then unpopular?

Popular for fulfilling a purpose... then fashion craze... then nothing.

Believe it or not it's actually an offence to be drunk on the premises of a public house!

Like that's getting enforced any time soon…

I see Head and Shoulders are sponsoring the Olympics so there will be flowing locks all over the place this year.
