Typically, when we have questions, we google them and hope for the best. If the question is a tad more complicated, we might reach out to someone we know who is an expert. Unfortunately, the amount of actual experts the average person knows is probably too few to cover all the questions they may end up having.
So we’ve gathered some of the most interesting questions from an internet community dedicated to helping people get answers. So settle in as you read through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own examples in the comments down below.
#41 Why Does The Ballpoint Pen Still Look Almost The Same As It Did In The 1950s?
begorrah_gumdrops: The Bic ballpoint pen did not originally have a hole in the cap. I believe it was added to help stop children from choking on it.

#42 Why Do So Many People Equate Legality With Morality?
I’ve been noticing something strange about how people think: just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s right, and yet so many act like it does. From corporate loopholes to controversial laws, people often assume that if it’s allowed, it must be okay.
Why is that? Is it trust in the system, a mental shortcut to avoid moral thinking, or just the way society teaches us to follow rules without questioning them?
It’s fascinating, because legality is just a set of rules — it doesn’t always align with ethics, fairness, or human well-being. So why do so many of us treat the law as a moral compass instead of a guideline?
Meowakin: Probably because so many things that are illegal are also morally wrong, and people lack critical thinking skills.
Of course, not everything that is illegal is morally wrong (which is just the flip side of what you're saying).
