ELI5: Is the world just constantly getting more polluted?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
From what I understand the world population is consistently growing, as are national GDPs and economic activity. All of this results in environmental pollution. So by this logic, is the world just hopelessly trudging towards environmental destruction?

At /r/netflix
Hello, Netflix or Hulu Series Help Question. Hello can anyone help me with the name of a Hulu/Netflix/Prime Series Name. There was a Series i watched last year.A female middle eastern woman trying desperately to save her child,but also known to be a top "Assassin" in her country. The woman was refered to as a "8th" Jinn or a ???¿ Jinn had a favorite "book of Jinns". She was given The reference from a book she loved a child. Or a book her father or grandfather read to her. ( they visit this person on a cemetery). There was a British or French MI6 or Intelligence woman attempting to gain her trust. Was acting as a friend but really wanted to turn her over to the government,bcshe was a "known Assassin". They traveled from European country to country in hiding. And fighting....but caring about each other. And sharing life experiences. About their kids, and lovers and families. There was a secret message written on the inside of a car that could only been seen by breathing hot 🔥 breath onthe windows.She was known to be killed in the end but most likely secretly got away.I loved this series and wanted to share with friends and family. Or see if there was a 2nde.I meant / mean no disrespect with this post. I am just looking for thr name of the series.I thought it was based around a "Book of Jinns" or the female being referred to as a "Jinn". Google was no help.Thank you.

The Madness
At /r/netflix
I saw the trailer today and decided to watch it because I mess with the limited series. I love the actors, but the plot is so out of the place. I don’t understand the rollercoaster I was on, but I felt like there was too much going on. What did yall think? Also I hated what happened to quinones (i understand why by assumption but still felt like there wasn’t enough context).

I just tried to watch “La Brea” 10minutes is all I could watch it was so bad, and “Cold Pursuit” also bad writing and direction. The stuff Netflix has produced these last few years so amateurish. I am considering just subscribing to YouTube instead.

YSK That "secure delete" doesn't work on solid state drives. In order to ensure deleted files are unrecoverable you should encrypt your disk drive.
At /r/YouShouldKnow
Why YSK: "Secure delete" doesn't work on solid state drives and you should know what to do to guarantee deleted files aren't recoverable by other people.##BackgroundYou may already know that when you "delete" a file, the file isn't actually erased. Instead the file still exists on your drive, instead the reference to the file in the file system's directory structure (e.g., the Master File Table in NTFS or inode table in Linux) is removed. The file still exists and it can potentially be found by examining areas of the disk that (according to the file system's directory) do not contain any current file data. In the past you could "secure delete" a file by overwriting the entire contents of the file with garbage data (random data, all zeros or all ones) sometimes several times to make sure it is no longer recoverable. However, this does not work on solid state disks. Solid state disks have a limit to how many times they can be written to, so the drive itself decides where to write data. It does this so that it can make sure that no one area of the drive is written to a lot more than others which would cause areas of the disk to become unusable while others areas are still "fresh" and can still be used. So if you tell it to overwrite a particular area of the disk there is no guarantee that data will actually be written to the physical location you specify.##What to doThe only way I know to guarantee that deleted files are unreadable then is to encrypt your disk. When it is encrypted no one can read any part of the disk unless they know the encryption key, so both existing files and deleted files will be unreadable without the key.##How to do itTo enable disk encryption in Windows [check out this guide here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/device-encryption-in-windows-cf7e2b6f-3e70-4882-9532-18633605b7df). To enable disk encryption in MacOS [check out this guide here](https://support.apple.com/guide/disk-utility/encrypt-protect-a-storage-device-password-dskutl35612/mac). There are multiple ways to encrypt a disk for Linux and you'll have to find a guide for your distro and file system.

ELI5: How self aware are crows? What is the "red dot test"? I've heard crows can watch a persons eyes and determine their next course of action based from that and avoid being looked at. Can other animals do this? Crows can recognize themselves. Dogs can't. Why is this?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
Crows have always fascinated me. I've heard they are nearly as aware of thier own existence as humans are. Is there truth to this? I've heard that dogs will see themselves in a mirror and not realize it is themselves and go nuts. But a crow will be like "oh shit, that's me". But how does the red dot test apply? Placing a red dot on an animal's body and letting them see themself in a mirror.

YSK: If you have a health insurance plan through your employer, the health insurance company may not be the one paying for your medical benefits. Your employer may be the one paying. You should know what a "Self Funded" health plan is and check the small print on your plan document.
At /r/YouShouldKnow
Why YSK: Many people in America get health insurance through their employer as a benefit of working there.Most Americans are under the assumption that their health insurance company is the one paying for their medicine, doctors appointments and surgeries, but that is not always true.The typical health insurance plan that we are all familiar with is called a "Fully Funded" plan, where the employer pays a premium to the insurer and in return the insurer manages all claims and makes payments for health services.However, over 50% of employers instead purchase cheaper "Self Funded" plans, which means the employer is on the hook for payments of medical services, and the insurer only acts as a claim coordinator. It's just the health insurance company name on the letters we receive in the mail to make us think they are the one paying.The reason an employer may choose a "Self Funded" plan is because premiums are cheaper, and the employer is taking a calculated risk that the cost of paying for their employees health benefits themselves is less than the cost of maintaining a "Fully Funded" plan, which requires up front fixed payments.You may be wondering how an employer protects against a catastrophic accident, for example, if an employee gets cancer and needs $750k worth of rare experiment treatments (assuming it is approved). Insurers offer employers stop-loss insurance that will kick in under situations like this, thus protecting the employer from financial loss.However, for most of us, this means that our employers are sometimes the decision makers behind what claims get paid for. They will not admit or advertise this fact, but employers are able to know who their most expensive employees are. As you can imagine, this creates a highly complex relationship between employee, health insurance company and employer.Please check your plan document, which will tell you in small print if your plan is a Self Funded plan or a Fully Funded plan.You can also Google how Self Funded vs Fully Funded plans work.Source: https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/self-insured-plan/

Searching a old movie
At /r/netflix
Around 2015 there was a Movie on Netflix that was about a boy that lived with his father. I don't know much about it anymore but I do know that there was a scene about a big girl was being bullied for eating a lot and she cried and ran away with the screen shaking with every step she tookThere was also a scene where the boy had a test but he cheated by having a fly or a bug with a camera in it so he could see the answers of other students.It could be that it was an Asian film but I don't know for sure, highly positive about it though.

ELI5 - Is a virtually silent vacuum cleaner possible?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
I don’t know of any quiet vacuum cleaners and got to wondering if that’s inherent in the mechanism that creates a vacuum. I suspect a “silencer” of some kind could be used. But could the actual mechanism that creates the vacuum be one that is much quieter than the ones we normally see?

ELI5: If wearing shoes indoors bring in 100's of thousands of additional germs, why aren't Americans significantly more sick than other countries?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
I am living in Asia at the moment, and I have been asked several times why Americans wear shoes indoors. My general response is "not everyone does, but it's not really a big enough deal for anyone to make a fuss about it". Someone challenged my opinion on that - stating you could bring in "hundreds of thousands of additional germs, including E.coli from bathrooms, just by stepping indoors with shoes".And that is true.But I am still not sure it matters even in the slightest. Having yucky germs on my floors doesn't appear to affect the health of Americans at a higher rate than more "clean" cultures. Americans on average take about 6-8 sick days a year, the Japanese (no shoes, clean floors) take 15. I know that's a very imperfect measurement, so I am open to a better researched thought on the topic.EDIT: I want to reiterate that I said "I know this is a very imperfect measurement, so I am open to a better researched thought on the topic."By researched, I was hoping something based in biology or science, not opinions on American work-laws and habits. You know, some sort of evidence on the shoe topic.....

I watched it on Netflix in maybe 2020 or 2021. It started with a teenage boy and teenage girl who were the only survivors of some zombie-like szene??? Then they were taken to some secret place where other people who also survived were. Then they kinda fell in love but were both killed suddenly. (then the main character changed a few times) at first they had enough food at this place, but they slowly ran out if it so they had to eat less and all the people who lived there were tested for radioactivity (?) and if they were too radioactive they were either unal*ved or hurt a lot.
