    The public seems to be content with castigating honest and reasonable mistakes while overlooking genuine issues in favour of “weapons of mass distraction”.

    Why is Cameron Frye such an underappreciated character? He was the kid I related to most in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
    12+

    This cult film is loved by so many, and yet there are many overlooked ideas in the movie. Did Cameron really make things better with his dad? What’s the deal with Ferris, anyway? He’s so sure of himself, and his parents love him and he can do whatever he wants, and he knows it! Cameron is the real MVP. Recognition is needed.

    If a piece of meat is grown in a lab (and was never part of an animal) is it actually still ‘meat’?

    As a constantly-lapsing vegetarian, I am interested in both the science and philosophy of meat. I know many others are too.

    Should we bring back conscription?
    3+

    Some countries use a year of compulsory military service as a rite of passage for young adults. Looking at our 18 year olds today, some might say we need to bring in this kind of enforced ‘gap year’ for the good of the individual and of our whole society. And of course, it would strengthen the country militarily to have a national service corps. But at what cost? Would this be worth it?

    Why does Nutella taste so heavenly?

    Why does Nutella taste so good? Why is Australia going so crazy for it, to the extent that we have it in donuts, milkshakes, brunch items… etc?

    Cheryl Strayed: What gave you the strength and power to take those first steps onto the PCT?

    Because I’m trying to take the first steps on an exercise regimen for the first time and first steps in writing a book and first steps in renovating parts of our house and it’s also a source of interest to me where people draw strength, for a lot of aspects of life.

    When cuddled close with lover or partner, what should one do with one’s dud/lower arm?
    7+

    I never know what the hell to do with this stupid limb. Tuck it under their/my pillow? Straighten it under my side? Cause them spinal injury by wrapping it around them uncomfortably? Saw it off? Need help, need help now.

    What are the similarities between music and sport?
    1+

    While both activities involves competition, the grace of movement and collaboration, they seem so far apart socially and culturally.
