ELI5: So what's the deal with standstill traffic?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
Seriously though... I'm not talking about densely populated cities during rush hour. I'm talking about being on an open highway or interstate nowhere near any towns or cities. Cruising along at 70+ then all of a sudden everybody hits their breaks HARD, we come to a complete stop, then inch along at 5 to 10mph for awhile, and then for seemingly no reason everyone just starts driving at a normal speed again. No accident or wreck, no emergency vehicles, no visible reason for having to come to a complete stop on the interstate. Why does that happen sometimes??

Anyone else think Amy Schumer saying sexually explicit dialogue to minors in high school in the classroom scene pretty wrong....? I'm only about 15 minutes in and had to post on Reddit about it find someone who felt the same. Am I crazy 😭Just seems a little inappropriate and a desperate attempt to be funny....And I just now saw a scene where she criticizes another character for being a teacher and being inappropriate 🤷♀️

ELI5: Why does fizz feel good in a drink?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
Trying to move away from beer, I'm in search of healthier alternatives. Come to water, I feel that lemon water is boring. But I feel that lemon sparkling water is sooooo fun and refreshing... Why am I, or if there are others who feel that fizz feels good in a drink, why is it so for us?EDIT: I'm talking about 0 sugar 0 calorie stuff. Flavored water basically. So not a sugar high or caffiene rush classical soda.

Eli5 Why do cracks, holes, and tight fittings usually "open up" when the material gets hot rather than getting smaller?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
If materials expand as the temperature rises, shouldn't that make the cracks, holes, and tight fittings get smaller?

ELI5: Why do car manufacturers share certain models and sell each others cars rebranded?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
I understand collaboration might help them reduce r&d and production costs. One thing is to share systems like the power train, chassis platforms, etc, But why do they go to the extreme of sharing the whole car and simply change the branding? I'm talking about cars like the Mazda 2=Toyota Yaris=Scion iA or Nissan frontier=Suzuki equator.Seems counterintuitive for dealerships to have to support a vehicle developed by a different OEM. Also seems like it could really hurt or benefit a brand reputation depending on the reliability of the car being shared.

At /r/explainlikeimfive
Say you were to eat 6,000 extra calories beyond what you need at a base level in a single day would eating 1000 extra calories for 6 days straight have the same exact effect?Or hell 3,000 extra calories in a day versus 300 additional calories for 10 days straight? 600 for 5 days? Is there a difference?

TV show recs similar to Supernatural & The Walking Dead?
At /r/netflix
Anyone have any recommendations for a new show for the hubby and I to binge watch together? We have finished Supernatural and The Walking Dead (I know there’s spinoffs of each I just have mixed feelings starting those tbh). We also really enjoyed Mindhunter but I don’t think that’s coming back. So something similar to that dark / suspenseful vibe probably, but open to hearing what other people have enjoyed!

ELI5: Why were early bicycles so weird?
At /r/explainlikeimfive
Why did bicycles start off with the penny farthing design? It seems counterintuitive, and the regular modern bicycle design seems to me to make the most sense. Two wheels of equal sizes. Penny farthings look difficult to grasp and work, and you would think engineers would have begun with the simplest design.

CC do not match the audio?
At /r/netflix
I am hard of hearing so I tend to have subtitles/cc on whenever I am watching something. I watch a lot of anime, although I normally tend to watch it subbed, so maybe this is the same for other dubs?I began watching the original naruto in English and for the entire first season the cc was fine. But I start on season 2, and the captions are atrociously wrong. It felt more like they were summarizing what the characters were saying instead of actually captioning it. At one point, a character speaks in a very quiet voice and the captions say "Naruto...." when she was clearly whispering a full sentence. I thought maybe the cc and subtitles for the show got mixed up, and switched between them. Not only is that the not case, but the cc do not even follow the Japanese script. (From what I saw)I am just very confused and frustrated and was wondering if anyone else was having this issue? I was really enjoying myself but it's very frustrating to not be able to fully understand what's going on in it.

subtitles are so wrong
At /r/netflix
i am watching cassandra rn, the miniseries. my first language is spanish but i ALWAYS watch stuff on their native language bc i believe it's better and the actors' voices are part of the performance. so i know very little german –i'm learning–, but then one of the characters said something in english, and the translation had NOTHING to do with it. so i was weirded out, and switched it up to english captions. however, i can feel how sometimes instead of translating they change the whole order of sentences, and what got me mad the most is that in the first episode one of the characters said "merci" and the english captions said "gracias" ???? like what the hell they are two completely different languages.
