Dirt doesn't make you sick. Bacteria do and UV-light can kill bacteria. This technology is used to for example make water safer to drink. It works well enough and is widely used around the world. I would like caution though that a cheap USB-charger likely isn't going to be all that good at killing germs with UV light. I would not rely on the claims made by the manufacturer to keep you healthy." ]

[ "Muscles are made up of tons of individual fibers, and when cooked, collagen in the meat begins to contract and toughen, which as you said, sort of fuses everything together and makes it tougher to chew, and easier to peel the fibers apart. This is also why meat cooked low and slow is much more tender and succulent than meat that is cooked quickly on high heat. The high temp causes the fibers to contract and become chewy, and causes the meat to shrink dramatically because it literally squeezes the moisture out." ]

[ "Aesthetician here. Acne lesions are an inflamed infection. This inflammation triggers the melanocytes in the skin and causes them to be hyper sensitive to sunlight. A simple cut that heals neatly without getting infected is less likely to develop post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Also, your face gets more sun exposure than the rest of the body usually. If its annoying you, apply tyrosinase inhibitors like kojic acid, azalaic acid, arbutin or oligopeptide 10 in addition to mineral based sunscreens and a retinol every evening. It'll clear up quicker that way." ]

Rhyming is one type of sound pattern that makes us satisified as the same sounds repeat with different meaning. The ability to string different meanings using the same pattern is considered impressive when looking at poems, songs, or rap lyrics. However, our sense of patterns can come with issues. For example, the gamblers fallacy. Just because you have lost many times does not mean your next chance has any higher odds but our pattern-finding brain can trick us to think that way." ]

However, all the things that are required in order to do something like whistle or even roll your \"R\"s are difficult to describe even if you know how to do them.

[ "\"Corrosive\" is a non-scientific, catch-all term, and it can apply to just about anything. Salt water is corrosive. As with all things in chemistry, different substances react with some things but not others. Hydrofluoric acid, for example, will corrode glass, but not most plastics, whereas hydrochloric acid will not corrode glass. This means you can't store hydrofluoric acid in glass, but you can store hydrochloric acid in glass. Glass is mostly composed of silica (SiO2) and silicates (SiO3), which leads to strong covalent bonds between the silicon and oxygen atoms. Most acids can't break up these bonds, which makes glass inert to these substances. Metals are not good because they will react with acids to form metal salts and hydrogen gas." ]

Your body will use what is in the blood at the beginning of physical activity and then while that is being used, the body is working to replenish the oxygen in the blood. Second wind comes in when the body finally catches up to replenishing the oxygen so there is a balance of the oxygen being used with what’s being replenished." ]

[ "Anti material rifles are good at destroying equipment because they use very powerful ammunition. The .50BMG cartridge used in most American anti material rifles has more than 6 times the energy of the 7.62x51mm cartridge used in marksmen's rifles. A large high energy bullet is good at punching into engine blocks and other tough targets, and can even hold a sizable amount of explosive inside the projectile, but both the bullet and the rifle that fires it are extremely heavy and bulky. A 50 caliber rifle can definitely be effective as an anti personnel weapon, but a much lighter weapon will kill someone just as dead, will have much less recoil and can allow a soldier to carry much more ammunition. Another factor is than most .50 caliber ammunition isn't intended to be used to used in super accurate long range roles, so anti material rifles often end up being less accurate than real \"sniper rifles\" simply because their ammo can't be trusted to give consistent accuracy." ]

[ "TLDR: Morality > Logic in the legal system Almost all laws are created to simmer down an angry public after something bad happened. This means they're completely based off of the location, time, and emotions surrounding a particular incident and there really is very little logic used in the drafting process. So to see morality shaping our laws let's take your example. Many religious organizations preach about the evils of pornography, but legislatures can't outright ban it's use without a riot. This means they had to change the language to say minors shouldn't be watching porn, which sounds good and fair so why not? Thus it's become law. Now remember these very same organizations and legislatures believe a baby out of wedlock is an incredibly immoral thing, and seeing as how teenage pregnancy is still a common occurrence you can't very well tell them *not* to marry or risk sending half of the South to hell. You see the same thing with a number of other topics such as drug law, gun law, and my personal favorite example [prostitution.]( URL_0 )" ]

[ "Mountains form through movements of the earth's tectonic plates, which you can imagine as floating pieces of rock earth, under which there's molten magma. Sometimes, magma under a plate builds up and solidifies and forms a dome. This can form a mountain that stands alone. Sometimes, multiple plates \"push\" against each other, or slide against each other. This forms mountain ranges. What happens to the surface when the plates push against each other? It sort of folds and crumples up near the fault line. The himalayas are fold mountains in this way. The huuuge Indian plate pushed up against the rest of asia, and crumpled up the area where they crashed. No wonder they all formed in one place, and so many of the highest peaks are from there. The final form of the mountain(s) also depends on erosion after a while, by wind and water. The himalayas are relatively young, this way. And still standing tall." ]

So a tiny cell 'knows' to avoid being eaten by larger cells because it's \"source code\" told it to build receptors on its cell membrane that are programmed to detects certain nearby chemicals, and one particular chemical triggers a flight response. Other chemicals do the opposite -- they indicate a source of nutrients, and cause a chemical chain reaction that makes the cell move toward the food source. Once in range, various other mechanisms begin to operate, drawing in the food and disassembling it for processing. But everything was built by following the template in the DNA, and certain triggers result in certain behavior." ]

[ "Muscle physiology is difficult to describe in ELI5 but I'll try. Imagine your muscle is like a bunch of horses. When you need to move something, you pick the least amount of horses you can to move it, that way you won't tire them all out. If you do the same movement again, you pick a different set of horses to move it so the first ones can rest. As you get stronger, your horses get bigger so they can move more weight. As they practice, your horses work better together - instead of 5 moving forward and 2 backwards, all 7 move forwards together. When you've done a lot of moving, eventually the horses get tired and can't move as much. Less-ELI5: muscles work by shortening. The fibers have cross bridges that essentially latch onto each other and pull each other together, which generates force as they pull two things closer together (two of your bones). Strength depends on the size of the muscle (ie larger fibers can generate more force) and how well different muscles, as well as muscle fibers in the same muscle can work together to generate more force (intra and inter muscular coordination)." ]

There are now 80 shares held by Chad, although Chad has a claim on 20 more. Diggory holds 20 shares. Alex also has a claim on 100 shares which were lent. Chad decides to keep the 80 shares and doesn't offer to sell / release the 20 shares which were lent. Diggory also decides to keep the 20 shares purchased.

What I mean by that is every three pieces (we call them nitrogen bases) of nonjunk DNA encodes for an amino acid. Those amino acids combine in some very cool ways to form proteins, which makes up a stupid-high amount of your body and it's components. Here's the kicker, though. Not every animal can make every amino acid, and therefore not every protein can be made by every animal. So, in a purely theoretical sense, if an animal could produce every amino acid and fold them into the exact proteins of another animal, you might just be able to get an animal to produce the structure of another one. But, you wouldn't necessarily be able to give it a blood supply, have it produce the correct markers for the immune system, etc, because DNA has to encode for THOSE structures as well." ]

[ "The ELI5 version is that electrons are the carriers of electricity in the vast majority of cases. The main thing to know about electrons is that they carry negative charge and are a fundamental particle (they can't be broken down into smaller particles) of nature. Like all negatively charged things, they are attracted to positive charge, or at least much less densely packed negative charge. So with that basic stuff, Amps is how many electrons are moving on a wire per second. Volts is a measure of how \"crowded\" the electrons are. High voltage is an area of positive charge, or at least much less crowded negative charge than low voltage. Ohms is a measure of how much resistance to flow. If electrons were cars, a two lane dirt road in the country would be high ohms, a 12 lane superhighway would be low ohms. Watts are just a measure of how much power is being created or generated or being consumed. If you have a lot of flow of electrons (Amps) moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration (Voltage drop), you have a lot of power generated or consumed. If you have any questions, feel free to help." ]

The transferring bank in the US with agree a transfer with a Transferring Bank in Germany and the Transferring bank in Germany will do a transfer to the Destination Bank. So in-country bank to bank transfers don't involve trucks driving around with bank notes and change for every transfer. The transfer is electronic and the bank will keep a electronic record of the total balance of transfers between them for all their client's transactions (in both directions) and will balance this out from time to time in a variety of methods. In the old days this used to be physically transferring gold between them. Now-a-days it is more likely to be bonds being transferred, but can be stocks, gold, options, property or balances held at other banks and also actual cash obviously. International bank to bank is pretty much the same. The Transferring Banks will agree to buy/sell Euros for Dollars at a particular spot exchange rate. The books between those banks will get balanced from time to time but the immediate consequence for your individual transaction is that the German Transferring Bank will take an IOU from the US Transferring Bank." ]

[ "So, we need to clarify that there are two components here that determine the usefulness of a light to plants. Spectrum and intensity. Plants use a small portion of the overall spectrum, and not even all of the visible light (plants are green because that's what they don't use and it's bounced off of them to our eyes). They also need a certain amount of intensity, which is a way of saying the amount of energy input it gets So, sunlight is the \"best\" because it has all the required components the plant needs. Not surprising when we consider that the plants evolved to take advantage of what's available. This doesn't mean that artificial lights can't be used though. Your average florescent, incandescent, or LED build isn't likely to put out enough energy (though incandescents come closest of those three) and LED and fluorescents typically don't put out enough of the spectrum. There are, of course, exceptions depending on the bulb and the plant in question. There are grow lights, which are lights designed to work for plants so you don't have to rely on the sun which isn't always shining when you want it to (night and clouds) which, as far as I'm aware, are typically a large scale incandescent or halogen bulbs TL;DR Sun is best, but plants could use some artificial lights." ]

Pretend there are two parties, L and R which are left and right wing respectively. I then start a new party named LoC (which is left of center). A left of center voter who finds me the most agreeable of the three parties will likely not vote for me if they think things out, though. If he and other people like him vote for my party, it would mean that left wing support has been split between my party and L, leaving R with a majority share of the vote. Him voting for the party that he most agreed with led to the party he disagrees with the most winning. TL,DR: The US' election system makes it virtually impossible for a third party to emerge and certain that in the long run there will only be two parties." ]

[ "First off, why make IDs expire in the first place? Why not just give someone an ID and say, \"Okay, you're good?\" Well... * Your appearance will change over the years. It won't work out too well if you're in your 30s and still using an ID with 16-year-old you. Some folks age gracefully, but not all of us do. * IDs will likely be updated at some point with a new design and new anti-counterfitting measures. Having licenses expire gives them a chance to swap out old designs for new, so they remove old IDs from circulation. * It may also serve as a way to keep folks accountable. You can give someone a driver's license that's good forever, but a person's ability to drive will NOT be good forever. What if you originally got your license with 20/20 vision, but your vision worsened as you got older? You would need an updated license that reflects your new need to corrective lenses. Having licenses expire lets them update things like that. So now onto why we don't use expired forms of ID as DOB verification. Why is that? Probably because expired IDs could be passed off to someone else to pretend that they're older than they are. Say you have a younger sibling and the family resemblance is strong. If you license expires, you renew it, but you're still eligible to use it as ID, you can give it to your younger sibling for them to drive, drink, gamble, or whatever else they can do now without age restrictions. In essence, it sort of undermines the system that's in place, so they make sure that expired IDs cannot be used to avoid abuse like this." ]

This is correlation, when one event (sell of ice cream) increase, another event (crime) also increase proportionally. But of course there isn't any causation between the two. Selling more ice cream don't cause more crime and making more crime don't increase the selling of ice cream. Sometime it's just random chance that there is correlation between two event. Other time like with ice cream and crime it was a third event that were causing both. In this exemple, Summer was the cause of more crime and more ice cream sold." ]

[ "This is not really strictly a thing about either aging or space. What is real is that time passes slower for objects that appear to move compared to you and that time also moves faster the lower down a gravity well you are. Objects in orbit around Earth both move fast and are slightly less affected by earth's gravity due to being father away from it. These combined effects mean if you send a person up into orbit around earth time passes slightly slower for them than for a person on earth. They age slower. Of course the effect is only in the area of tiny fractions of a second for months and years staying in orbit, so it really isn't big enough to have much impact. In theory however the effect can be much greater if you only move fast enough or go down a deep enough gravity well. In fiction this has been used to describe space travelers returning home from a long journey to find all their loved ones having aged much more then them and potentially even outliving human civilization and it has also been used tell tales about people who get to close to things like black holes and become nearly frozen in time from an outside perspective. In practice we only ever seen effects on a very small scale that we need to take into account for precision measuing like satellite navigation. Time travel is not really possible that way even theoretically except forward. You can spend a year moving on a very fast orbit to come back and have more than a year passed on the ground. You can thus in theory travel into the future. what you can't do is travel back in in time. To travel back in time you would actually need to go faster than light. In fact the difference between going faster than light and going back in time is just a matter of perspective really, fact that most sci-fi conveniently ignores. If we had some sort of magical FTL-drive, we could totally use it to go back in time and try to murder our grandfathers or Hitler or step on butterflies while hunting a T-Rex." ]

In mild cases, dissociation can be regarded as a coping mechanism or defense mechanisms in seeking to master, minimize or tolerate stress – including boredom or conflict. At the nonpathological end of the continuum, dissociation describes common events such as daydreaming while driving a vehicle.

[ "i can put it in lay terms. ur fridge has a gas container and this gas get really cold when it gets out of the container, so we runnit through tubes which freeze and we blow air around the frozen tubes which cools the fridge. then when the gas comes out the other side of the tubes a compressor pumps it back into its original container so it can be re released again and again and again." ]

[ "Low Blood Sugar, I think. It makes sense that when your body needs energy to immediately perform a task that’s everyday in nature, it is not going to try and burn the fat you have stored but would ask for carbs and sugars. So, the low blood sugar causes fatigue, and dizziness and light-headedness is a reaction to that." ]

[ "Swallowing is quite a complicated process--it involves the movement of a large chunk of thyroid cartilage and also requires the passage through to the windpipe to be closed off, to avoid food or water getting in there. That all takes time. If you try to short-cut it then it won't work very well--I'm sure you've choked on something when you tried to swallow it too fast." ]

[ "Traditional telephone lines can only transfer sound frequencies between 300 and 3,400 hertz. Humans can hear from 20 to 20,000Hz and this is roughly the same range as music uses. Therefore, on a phone line you will lose lot of the bass (low frequencies) and treble (high frequencies) which causes the music to sound crappy." ]
