Anyone who is rude about the questions will be reported, as people should feel safe asking them.
You can ask anything! Some examples would be (and no, these are not my questions): What does IDK mean? How tall is the tallest building? What’s 5 + 9?
Have fun, love you guys!

What in the world caused the first people in an area of the world to have a specific skin color, nose shape, hair texture, and such that now determines the traits of almost everyone with heritage from that place?
It all has to do with climate. Skin color, as people went to colder climates, they needed more sunlight so the skin became lighter to absorb sunlight. Climate changed noses. The farther you go away from the equator the smaller the nose. Modern humans that left Africa bred with neanderthals and denisovans. Genetics show that we all have up to 2-3% neanderthal (unless you never left Africa). Asians and Native American share Denisovan. If you look any of this up pay attention to the Date of the research. The traits we inherited from "breeding around" are interesting.
One of the things I found interesting is that the fatty eyelid tissue that northern Asians have is thought to have evolved because of the glare of the sun reflecting off the snow as they travelled across the continent.

Depends what you are after. For young adult books I suggest the Tomorrow when the war began series by John Marsden (actually any of his books) and the Matilda series by Jackie French. Crime series are any by Michael Connelly or Richard Ozman. Historical fiction I love is any by Katie Flynn or Ruth Park.
I will take a look! Than you!
Load More Replies...If you can find them, I recommend Circle Of Three series by Isobel Bird. It's about 3 girls who come from different social groups but have found they have a commonality of an interest in Wicca. They form their own little coven and join a larger one, doing their year and a day sort of training. Each book goes through parts of their adventures. Blue Moon was a good one. I really liked In The Dreaming where they take part in their first summer solstice celebrations, in which they find themselves split up in the woods on a scavenger hunt that becomes more magical than they anticipated. They are more in the youth/teen fantasy genre. But still a good, easy, fun read.
Literally anything by Alice Oseman (my favorites are Loveless, Radio Silence, and Solitaire)
My personal favorite is Gearbreakers, but what genres do you like?
toa (trials of apollo) pjo (percy jackson and the olympians) and hoo (heroes of olympus)
My 2 favorite series are the Cassie palmer series by Karen chance and the white rabbit Chronicles by Gina showalter
The last days of socrates, the elements of style, hard times by Charles dickens, the bird's nest, Tom sawyer, Jill's red bag, the divergent series, the Kane chronicles, the Magnus Chase series, midnight for Charlie bone, Mr lemoncello's library,
Why is it racist to confuse someone who isn't white for someone else? I have trouble with faces, and generally look for my friends based on their hair and backpacks, which has caused me to mistake them for other people. I've gotten insulted for this, which confuses me. It's never an issue if I confused a white person with another white person, so why is it a problem for anyone else, especially if it's genuine confusion?
I’m not sure why you get insulted for this, it’s not racist. I’ve done the same thing
How do I come out to my transphobic parents?
It depends on the parents, I haven’t come out to my dad as bi (homophobic) but I have my mom. I just kinda went outside when she was outside but no one else was, made a bit of small talk, and then I was like “hey mom.” Then she was like “yeah?” And then I was like “I like boys… and girls.”
Then she said “I don’t think that considering your age you should be putting labels on anything quite yet because of hormones and all that.” Then I asked her if when I got older and felt the same way if she would be ok and she was like yeah and shrugged
Load More Replies...Coming out is a personal thing , and it's perfectly fine to do it at your own pace. There's no need to rush or feel pressured. Remember, you don't owe anyone your coming-out, even if they happen to be your parents. If you ever decide to share your true self with transphobic parents, make sure to put your well-being first. Don't hesitate to set boundaries if their response gets tough. It's important to reach out to friends and chosen family for support, and always keep in mind that your identity is valid. There are communities and resources out there ready to support you, no matter how they initially react. :)
It depends on your age, and your financial situation. I hate to say that but when you know that they are transphobia you hav etc prepare so you don’t get into a bad situation. Make sure you are comfortable and your parents aren’t mad about anything/they are also comfortable and in a good mood. Tell your truth and know that you are worth love and you deserve to be happy. :)
I would say, understand their views. Understand why they think what they think and how you could explain how you feel to someone who thinks that way. Don’t act like they’re the bad guy. don’t lash out or call them mean or bad parents.I’m sure your parents love you and want what’s best for you. Instead of using other peoples ideas, use your feelings. Explain how you feel, don’t say I’m trans and leave it at that.
Your #1 priority should be your own safety. If you think you'd lOse safety or well-being by telling them you're trans, don't come out until you are in a place in your life where you have attained physical safety and have a good support system. Coming out is a thing a person has to do in their own time, and when they feel the time is right, and the time may not be right if it will compromise your security.
what question do i ask? thats my question lol OH YEAH! i remember what shows do you guys recommend? i am open to anything! (cries in "fav show got cancelled and needs a new show to keep myself going")
Inbestigators (yes with the b instead of the v, and it’s a younger tv show but still good), nimona (movie), bee and puppycat, demon slayer
I watched bee and puupycat and nimona. they were rlly good! ill check out the other two. Thx!!!
Load More Replies...Ghost Hunters. I like their more sensible, laid back, rational take on paranormal investigations. Dave Tango and Steve Gonzales are so funny.
I highly recommend Snowpiercer! It delves into a post-apocalyptic setting where humanity survives on a constantly moving train, a last refuge from a frozen, deadly world. The show crafts a riveting storyline infused with incisive social commentary, delving into issues of class division and the relentless struggle for existence within the train's cramped quarters. It's a must-see for enthusiasts of dystopian sci-fi. :)
Okay good shows to watch in my personal opinion!!: (Side note, all of these shows are shows that I would recommend for people who are young adults or teenagers) Psych, a hilarious show about a man who pretends to be a psychic and becomes a psychic investigator for the police and he's hilarious it's amazing watch it, Brooklyn nine-nine, just to show about like cops and how they deal with themselves and they have a hilarious fun time, although a little bit more adultish, parks and recreation, it's a show about the park but mainly like the people who run the park much like the other two shows, hilarious, the office, if you don't know this, there's no hope for you, I'm being sarcastic a little bit, just show about office life, many jokes, so much sarcasm, kind of good show is Zoe's extraordinary playlist if you really like drama this girl gets MRI because she's not feeling well and due to a malfunction then she starts hearing people's inner thoughts as songs,
What We Do in the Shadows is absolutely hilarious! Definitely one of my favorite shows. I’ve also been watching Reservation Dogs (it’s on its 3rd and final season) it’s funny and also has some good heartfelt moments. Also, I really enjoyed Cruel Summer (both seasons are self contained and stand alone complete stories so no cliffhangers due to cancellation) if you like mystery thriller type shows. If you like superheroes, then I’d also recommend My Adventures with Superman. I don’t really watch a lot of tv, so these are all just the most recent shows I’ve seen.
Good Omens, Adventure Time (only if you’re willing to suffer through seasons 1 and 2 to get to the good stuff, and it’s a commitment), Steven Universe, Our Flag Means Death, The Owl House, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Amphibia
What kind of shows do you like? My favourite show is The Owl House, it is an animated fantasy show, it also got cancelled but the story still got finished.
I liked TOH too!!! My fav show so far was Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but it got cancelled as well(the story got finished tho so at least the fans weren't left on a cliffhanger). I generally like the ninja turtles lol. i like cartoons a LOT but i will watch a non-animated show once in a while if i like it enough(ex: the good place). but yeah thats it ig lol
Load More Replies...Which pandas are upvoting me and which are downvoting/reporting me? So Ik who to appreciate..and who to return the favor. I’m talking about normal comments.
I don't decide based on who made the comment. I focus on the comment. But I suspect BP did away with the 10 downvote strikes, because I have comments right now that seemed very unpopular getting below -10 and I didn't get suspended. I don't downvote if I disagree. I try to continue the conversation. I'll upvote if I like the comment, even if it's from someone who's always downvoting me or disagreeing.
In your personal opinion, how is y'all's mental health?
School has been stressful and 3 of my BP friends have been suicidal lately.
Well, let's just say... no. I literally had the worst panic attack I’ve ever had when I was in the car today lol. I felt like everything was crushing in on me and that I was going to faint. And then to make matters worse I saw a dead cat on the street. And then the next thing I knew I was slapping myself in the face and had scratches all down my left arm. And then I started getting really dysphoric.
Eeeeeeeh, it's not great but everything is so ironic its funny (for example I had a panic attack right after a doctor's appointment to discuss anxiety meds)
Eh, not the best. To be honest, I'm always tired, overstressed, and struggling to focus. I'm holding it together, though. How are you doing?
Decent, I had an anxiety attack yesterday because I was stuck in a group with a guy I don't get along with. He slapped me and he outed me as gay in front of my gym class. Also I'm pretty sure I'm bisexual.
really badly. I think i’m going to do something about it tonight or tomorrow night, if i can muster the balls
I'm not sure if you're still alive, and I know we've never talked before, but I wanted to say goodbye. I hope you are happy wherever you may be.

Do any other pandas also think the XBox360 is the best console ever?
Ever? No. Not remotely. Probably the PS2. The last era where games went wild with ideas instead of being copies of copies of copies, but if you brought the game you got it all because no DLC. Depends what games you like. I've got all of them (old, no hobbies) so I don't pick sides, but I play the Playstation 5 more, followed by the Switch if that helps?
it's okay. But I always preferred PS2. I guess cause I have more games for that one and I'm used to the controller and game play.
For reference, I am white and have some black people in my friend groups. When I'm messing with the heads/hair of my non-black friends (i.e. putting my hat on them, ruffling their hair, etc.), it feels awkward to ignore my black friends, but isn't it considered rude to touch their hair? What should I do in those situations?
Tbf for me im cool as long as my hair isnt styled... but you may wanna ask if theyre ok with u touching their hair 😅
I would say maybe just check, like for a while I as a child lived in japan, I Am naturally blonde haired, and so a lot of people touched my hair, when I was maybe 7 years old, we had friends over and this guy had a really cool updo, and so I was like 'wow! you're hair is so cool can I touch it?' and my parents pulled me out of the room and were like 'xxx no! we don't do that! we don't touch people's hair!' and at the time I was confused cuz so many people were touching my hair, I think I would suggest you just ask your friends about if they would mind if you messed with their hair / touched it I know there are some days where I do nothing with my hair and even days where I will gel it/spray it or something and honestly as long as someone asks I really don't care if they touch my hair,
For those of us who have read the Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children series, who's your favorite character? I had a crush on Enoch for the longest time and I also have similar attitude to him so he's my favorite
I don’t know… what I do know is that it wasn’t as disturbing as everyone said it was
Exactly lmao. My mum was hesitant to let me read it because of how "gruesome and disturbing" it was. Maybe I'm like, apathetic or something, because I surely did not find it nearly as disturbing as people said.

What has been a recent purchase disappointment? Did a product end up not living up to the hype on the package? Did it break or get lost along the way?

Sorry for adding another question but when we swallow food or drinks, why don't we feel nauseous? I am paranoid about this
Because we're designed to swallow stuff just fine. If you think the body isn't, just try swallowing something you're not meant to and see how quickly you do feel nauseous. In other words, don't be paranoid, if you're meant to feel sick, you will. If you don't, thank evolution.
I wouldn't actually suggest swallowing something you're not supposed to swallow, but you can do you lol.

Pink a “feminine” colour?
It used to be a masculine colour because it's just a pastel version of red. Blue used to be for girls.
I love pink. I don't know how it ended up counting for girls, as it used to be the opposite. I imagine, although merely summising, that blue is easier to wash and boys are apparently more likely to get dirty than feminine girls and their needlepoint. (Obviously I disagree, but back in the day when the colours got switched I assume that was the patriarchal viewpoint)
as a female, (Oops) I try not to assign colors to gender, (did I say that backwards? its to early for this) so I really think it depends on your opinion, (which is what your asking for, so my answer is):no
