This might sound stupid, but what causes gravity? | Gravity.
I have yet to find an explanation on what it is, why it exists, and what causes it. The best and most informational sources put forth only vague theories that I can't seem to wrap my brain around (involving miscroscopic particles called gravitons?).

Simple proof of existence of a bijection: (Just verification, I think I have it like 95% right) | Ok, I think I understand this but I just want to make sure I am think about this more or less correctly.
Question: Let A and B be any two disjoint sets. Show that there is a bijection between P( A U B ) and P(A) X P(B). (where P refers to the power set).
So, since A and B are disjoint, I figured I could just create t... |
PHYSICS BOUNTY ($10): How does a small, arbitrary unitary acting on a joint QM system change the eigenbasis of the reduced density matrix to first order? | EDIT: I finished the problem, so the offer is no longer available.
That was disappointing. A few comment telling me I'm an idiot, but no help. Would more money have enticed anyone?

Where did I hide my ganja pipe when I was paranoid? | I can't find it anywhere, did my mom find it somewhere? Its name is darkseer. |
How do I break a lust addiction? | Not really addicted to porn -- though I check it out occasionally, it doesn't really "do" anything for me.
However, I have a problem that I cannot look at a woman without thinking things I shouldn't. Talking to the secretary, if she bends over, I either look down her blouse or down the back of her pants. Walking b... |

Hey Reddit, my friend Karol is a 67 year old woman who created a website for her artistic glass and jewelry. She'd like to know what the digital community thinks of it. | I've given her my feedback and suggestions already, but a wider sample would be better. Website is here:
She gets a reasonable amount of traffic (for what it is), but rarely makes a sale. As I'm biased (being her friend), could y'all let me know what your experience is visiting her site, and what things might be impr... |
Last night, on NPR, There was another interview with Tea Party Movement members and leaders. Here are a few things they said and my opinion on the matter. Discussion urged. | First off the speaker started by saying that they want change but they don't know how to go about it...

How would you make GTAIV fun? | The game has been widely criticised for not actually being very fun once you were done with the story, dicking around just isn't as outrageous as it was in San Andreas.
My ideas go as thus:
* Allow the player to swing the car door open whilst driving to swipe pedestrians. (I'm sure that must be simple to do)
* Incl... |
Guys of reddit from a 25 year old woman: is longer hair always sexier? | I once got into a discussion with my then ex-boyfriend-turned-very good friend and a mutual, male friend of ours over my new hair cut. I had cut it shorter and I asked them how it looked. They basically said "It looks fine but longer hair is always sexier." I was dumbfounded. Really? (It was especially funny because ... |

How long after [s]ex do you put your clothes back on? | When me and my gf have sex we never stay naked for long...that is mostly because my gf doesnt like being naked under the sheets because she feels "gross", so we just get dressed again pretty fast.

Any ideas for an Olympics Opening Ceremony drinking game? | I'm looking for any ideas for a drinking game to go along with the opening ceremony of the olympics this friday. Any thoughts are appreciated. |
Shouldn't the BBC do product placement with the TARDIS ? | I was thinking... the TARDIS can go anywhere and in anytime. It is disguised thanks to a perception filter so no one really notices it.
We all know that Doctor Who is the flagship show for the BBC1.
Shouldn't they simply put the TARDIS in the background of other shows ? Just for the fun of it ?

What's in your gullet? Does fast food make you dumb and fat? | I’m starting to wonder why there aren’t more discussions on reddit, discussing the negative effects of fast food on the body and the brain. Here on reddit there is an abundance of free thought. We address topics like atheism and the state politics, but there is a distinct lack of posts addressing the negative effects... |

Dear reddit physics, I need help with all of this crazy math you guys keep talking about. | I am a Biology Undergrad at a university not known for its astrophysics courses taught by insanely great professors; the closest thing we have to high end physics would be quantum which comes as one of the end chemistry classes you take in your fourth year. I have a very limited mathematical background. I have had to t... |

As the title implies, I wrote a crappy reddit clone in LOLCODE. More specifically, using this.

Has anyone else thought that if the Large Hadron Collider really did open a black hole and swallow the earth, that would be the best possible outcome? | First off, I don't think the LHC is really a black hole generator. And I'm not wishing for the destruction of the planet. But I have considered that if the earth and everyone on it vanished into nothingness in a split second, there is an upside: No more suffering. No more watching loved ones die while you live on. Just... |

Who else is sick of hearing "Canadians consider anything less than double-gold in hockey a failure."? It's BS, and I don't want our media to portray us to the world that way. | I am extremely excited for the Olympic hockey tournament. I am. My parents never encouraged me to play the sport, I found it, and loved it, and continue to love it. But winning is not what is important. I was taught from the start to play for fun. TSN, Sportsnet, The Score, CBC Sports, and all sorts of news outlet... |
Hi Reddit: I'm thinking of taking my summer trip to the US this year and I need some ideas! | My boyfriend and I, both Canadian, are thinking of saving some money and doing a wee trip through the US this summer.

We're looking for a fun and **cheap** trip - maybe somewhere in the South West such as Ne... |

I simply want to avoid any mistakes, misrepresentations and b... |
I would like to create a new strategy wargaming board game, but would using a dice combat system similar to Axis and Allies run me into copyright infringement issues? | I have been thinking about designing my own strategy wargaming board game. I really enjoy playing Axis & Allies, but lets face it, the game is way too scripted. If you are playing with people who have played 5+ games, it just turns into a flowchart.
The greatest strength of the game is definitely combat system. It... |
Coffee Aficionados: So, I'm starting to appreciate coffee more and would like to ask you for your input regarding materials. | I compare this transitional phase to when I was younger and drank Miller Lite to when I slowly got into Imports and now more and more local micro breweries.

Useful tools and links for new/returning players? | I've just reactivated my account after a rather long break (Exodus:RMR) to join up and scratch my MMO itch.

The release of the KDE 4.4 plasma netbook interface got me thinking: imagine if a similar, though distinct, interface were made for a tablet! | The KDE Dev's were able to create the plasma interface relatively quickly iirc, one of the big selling points of kde 4.x / plasma. I don't think it'd require a too much work to get a nice tablet interface which rivals apple's ipad/iphone interface in attractiveness, but blows the ipad out of the water in terms of free... |

Pretty much not something I'd want to get involved in, in any case, so I got the hell out of dodge. I'm curious, though, what Reddit would do. |
This kid in my class at BYU just came out of the closet... here's how he had to do it | Just so you know, I don't support gay marriage for reasons I won't go into, and this isn't about that. I personally don't have a problem with gay people.

Guy redditors - if a girl makes a move on you and you're not expecting it - how do you react? | I wanna make a move on this guy I have a crush on. I'm not sure he has picked up on the flirting... he's sort of hot and cold when we hang out... what should I expect? |

This guy likes boobs (SFW) | I walked by these two DVDs today at Best Buy, and couldn't help but notice this guy's eye line on both covers.

Ever feel guilty that you're not using your computer to its full potential? | I have a MacBook Pro that I just use for Reddit and some stuff for my classes. Do you have any suggestions for my spare cycles? Folding@home? SETI? |
I used to be a pretty hardcore console gamer, but now I only have time for an hour at a time, 3 or 4 times a week. Any suggestions for games? | Right now I am finding that I play sports games like NHL09, Tiger Woods PGA 10. I also like some of the retro games like 1942, because you can sit down and play a game in 15 minutes. Another favourite is the Buzz games. I'd also like to hear about your favourite puzzle type games.

Theories? "Aldo, no, we can't. He's one of THEM..." | About Jin: "Aldo, no, we can't. He's one of THEM."
Aldo answers: "He **MAY** be one of them."
Clearly, they know who Jin is, where he's from, that he crashed on 815, was in Dharma back in the 70s, etc.
So, one of** *whom*?** Speculation? |
I feel like I'm not utilizing my G1's potential. Anyone have any suggestions? | I've had a G1 for about a year. I use it mainly for text messaging, talking, messing around online, and listening to music. The problem is I feel like it could be used for so much more and I don't know where to start or what to do.
Does anyone have an suggestions on where I should start and/or cool tricks you can do?... |

DAE hate it when people confuse "less" and "fewer"? | This really grates on me for some reason. "Fewer" applies to things that can be enumerated. Otherwise, it's "less".

"There were less cars on the road today."
CORRECT:
"There were fewer cars on the road today." |
[7] For every emotion, there is an equal but opposite counter-emotion. | If a dog chases you, you'll feel *x* fear. When you get away, you'll feel *x* relief.

What was the most wretched experience of pure terror you have ever caused for another? | We were shooting a short film in NYC a few years ago. The location that night was a deli owned by a friend's parents. We had to wait until after-hours so that we could have the place to ourselves.
It was a robbery scene. The main character was holding up the cashier at gun point, using a very realistic-looking gun. We... |

Hey reddit, how do you deal with insane family members? | There are two members of my family--specifically, my aunt and my mom--that are very difficult to deal with sometimes.

Hey ask reddit, I'm graduating from college soon and am looking for some guidance. | So I am graduating with a degree in botany(BS not BA), something which seems odd to the whole of my family and most people who know me. I think in part this is because I was more likely as a child to be found in front of a computer than in a tree. I think both places are fun. I have been teaching myself programming and... |
High School Student Craving Proofs | Hey Math,

When it is cold my cat disappears. | A couple of days ago we let him out after feeding him and he came back at tea time the next day and the time before that was when it snowed quite heavily, he only does this when it’s cold and seeing as its -1 Celsius he will probably wander off again tonight. So do cats like the cold or is it something else. |

So many times I start the wrong application and in the seconds it takes to start I always think "I wish I had a button to cancel this application **right now**".

He was at a party, chatting people up, enjoying himself. As he was talking to one girl, the show "Lost" came up. He told her how he thought the show used to be great, but that after the second or third season, it had gone way downhill. Being drunk enough to both rant ad nauseam about ... |
Why does the presence of mass cause space-time to warp? | I understand what gravity is and how it works, that it's related to the presence of mass, etc. What I don't understand is why mass just being present causes space-time to change it's topography. Anyone care to explain? |
What do you do when you see a penny on the ground? | I always pick up the heads and flip the tails behind my head. Thus continuing the cycle of lucky pennies. I told this to a friend, who I used to think was level-headed and intelligent, and they scoffed at me. What do you do reddit? |
I have two packed days of work and 100 miles separating me from my dying, childhood pet. What should I do? | Maybe some people won't understand the context of my situation. I mean, not everyone is an animal person. But I am.
I raised this guy since I was 12 years old. I found him in a snowbank half-alive in my backyard. He's followed me around forever.
I can understand it's his time to go... I've lost other pets before. I ... |
Dear Reddit: Tired of bad ISP's gouging your wallet? Sick of ISP and Government filtering? Why don't we just do it ourselves? | Wouldn't it be great if we could figure out a way to just ditch the ISP's entirely? We could make internet access completely open and free. No government would be able to threaten us with any sort of filtering. We wouldn't be under the yoke of companies like Comcast, or AT&T, or Verizon. I think we can do this ours... |

Hey Redditors, Does anyone know of a comparable program for Win7 that will do what this one does? | Toggler was always a must have on all my XP machines.

AmA | Oman is the country very few people seem to have heard of, because there's no wars going on there, no terrorism and no civil right abuses.

I told him I didn't like i... |
What would you talk about in a 6-week "how computers work" weekend course for 7-10 year-olds? | (Sorry if you saw this already - I accidentally posted it to the main reddit instead of programming)
My daughter asked me the other night why computers "only have ones and zeroes in them. This gave me the idea of putting together a six week or so series of Saturday events whose goal is to help kids understand how co... |
A little programming poem I ran across | I was looking back through some of my notes from a project we did a couple of years ago, and I came across something I scrawled down in the margin. It must have been a rough night.
"I really hate this damned machine, I wish that they would sell it. It never does quite what I want, but only what I tell it."

What places define Pittsburgh? | Two different threads on the travel reddit recently have asked for things to do/see/visit on the way from point A to point B. Both could reasonably stop in Pittsburgh, so I directed them with what I could think of.

Any guys on reddit ever successfully get your hair back?? | I've heard from a million sources that once you start losing your hair, it's all over. But if that's the case, why do organizations like the Hair Club for Men even exist? So, has anyone here ever gotten their hair back? If so, what method did you use? Foam? Pills? Transplant? Plugs?

HTPC build questions (software related) | So I'll be building my HTPC this weekend, and had a couple software related questions:
1. What services in Windows 7 should be absolutely turned off? I plan on using the machine to dl things, but mostly using MCE7, Boxee, etc, the comp isn't going to be used as anything but as a device to watch TV, internet TV, and d... |
Attn Reddit: Calling Palin a "bitch" or a "cunt" feeds into the same kind of ideological system she and her party espouse. | I am really getting fed up with the presence of misogyny and chauvinism that is laughingly accepted on Reddit, and in society in general. It is truly disappointing.
Let's face it: Palin is stupid and incompetent. The fact that she is in the political sphere is terrifying and enraging. This is a woman who is completely... |
Reddit: What are your thoughts on Google Buzz? | I think it is really convenient, intuitive, and useful. I've been playing around with it, and I already have a few conversations going with old friends, created a profile, and started integrating it into my online life.
I realize it's pretty similar to Twitter or Facebook, but I think that they achieved a good synthesi... |
I got pretty much the best news today ever. | My family has a history of colon cancer, which they recently found the gene for (it also impacts, endometrial, rectal, and a whole bunch of other cancers). My Mom found out today that she is not a carrier, so I am not either! |
I think my brain is fried. Studying for GMAT, and just CANNOT figure out this problem. I don't think it's that difficult. Please help! | In a survey of potential presidential candidates A and B, 30% liked A and 48% liked B. If the percentage of people who liked only one candidate is double the percentage of people who liked both candidates, what is the percentage of people that liked neither candidate?
