I saw this question on r/nostupidquestions and everyone was just making up explanations so I decided to ask here
It's always nice to have new answers written just for you (as long as they follow the rules) but I would take a look at the subreddit's FAQ section since this question comes up over and over. Special thanks to the moderator formerly known as chocolatepot (/u/mimicofmodes)and /u/cthulhushrugged and /u/churakaagii
