Was there ever a time in the 2-party portion of US history when a significant portion of the voting public, perhaps via polling, approved of BOTH candidates? ie "I really like them both so we're in good hands"	3	AskHistorians
Were overall US deaths for March 2020 up or down from what was expected? i.e. last year's numbers. I'm wondering if overall LESS people have died since people are driving less, etc? Thank you!	1	askscience
Is this the best 2-game stretch for a starter this century? If he keeps this up next year he'll have 442 K's! New motto: "If you’re starting the game with a nasty Snell… that’s a no-no"	1	SFGiants
Since the creation of sperm donations, has there ever been a family or group of people, possibly a religious group, that has used them to spread their DNA? You hear about guys with 10+ kids who say God intends them to have as many as possible. Wouldn't sperm donation be the best method for this?	1	AskHistorians
I just learned of the daring capture of the German submarine U-505 during WW2. We’re there any examples of Allied troops boarding damaged submarines only for the sub to explode via depth charges?	1	AskHistorians
I spent a few months in the Middle East (Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt) and noticed there were quite a few physical references to the Ottoman empire - administrative buildings, railroads, etc. - but almost no remnants of "Turkish culture". Why is that? Why aren't there enclaves of Turks?	1	AskHistorians
I read that travel and tourism generates 10% of global GDP. Roughly, what would that number be in 1920? Or in 1520? Thanks!	1	AskHistorians
Before the Nazi regime in Germany, which group/nationality was most universally regarded as ‘evil’? Ie British Empire? Bolsheviks? Spanish?	1	AskHistorians
300 years ago, nobody would have predicted that mankind would produce something that could change our entire world's climate. Do scientists today predict that we could create something that could have an effect on our entire galaxy? Or even the entire universe? What would that be?	1	askscience
Starting in June 1965, Angus Barbieri fasted for 382 days. He lived on tea, coffee, soda water and vitamins, living at home Scotland, and frequently visiting a hospital for medical evaluation. He lost 276 pounds (125 kg). Do you think any 500+ pound person could do this without dying? If not, why?	1	askscience
