Hi! This piece centers around a recent AskReddit thread where someone asked about the “weirdest rule” their parents had that they didn’t realize was insane until later: Some example responses were being made to urinate in a bag to make sure the kid was healthy, not allowing kids to watch shows that make parents look foolish, and not being allowed to ask why, among many others. Here are my questions: - Why do parents implement these absurd rules that could be potentially damaging to their child? - What repercussions do these rules have on the children while growing up, and when they grow up as adults? How are they affected? - Is this considered irresponsible parenting? Or could it simply be dismissed as parents “being a product of their generation/how they were raised” and that “we should just understand them”?

Responses will be featured on boredpanda.com, which will be published next week.

Expert quotes on clout chasing pre and post-social media

Published on: 9/27/2025

Hi! I am seeking experts who can share their insights on clout chasing before and after social media. Here are my questions: - Question for all: Is it accurate to say that a clout-chasing post-social media is worse than clout chasing pre-social media? - For behavior experts: What would you attribute this desire, even desperation for clout, to? - For social media experts: The way people aspire for virality is seemingly getting worse and worse. Pranks are getting more dangerous. Do you see this further worsening? If so, what do you think would be the way to prevent it from reaching an all-time low? Requirements: Social media/digital media experts, behavior experts/therapists, and other related professionals ONLY. Please include a link to your bio.

Hi! I am seeking expert quotes on the impact of Marvel films on pop culture and cinema as a whole. Here are my questions: - I recently read that before the Marvel blockbusters (e.g., Iron Man in 2008), starring in superhero films was a “death sentence” for an actor’s career. How accurate is this, and why is this the perceived notion? - How did Marvel change the superhero film genre? What was the most important thing that they did? - How did Marvel influence the movie industry as a whole? Was it for the better or the worse? - What would you say is the most essential impact of Marvel films on pop culture (how the audience consumes and appreciates films, for example)? Requirements: Pop culture experts, film industry professionals, and other related experts ONLY. Please include a link to your bio.
