Reply to LPT: When visiting a museum, find the volunteer attendants and kindly ask if they have a personal favorite piece in the gallery. They're generally more passionate and they’ll often show you random things that you’d otherwise look over by Pete_The_Chop

I did this once! The exhibit was full of people, and the attendant seemed genuinely surprised and happy I asked. It was a painting that wouldn’t have stood out to me otherwise, and actually now is the only one I really remember from it because of a few small details. Total gem that I would have otherwise overlooked.

Well, this isn't plain old pasteurisation it's UHT pasteurisation. Shorter time, much higher temperature, maybe some other differences? It slightly scalds the more sensitive parts of the milk so some people don't like it. But it does have the advantage of making the milk shelf-stable which can be really great.

Reply to comment by jabberwockgee in LPT: If somebody keeps asking you questions they can easily look up on their phone, always respond with, "What did Google say?" Eventually, they'll figure it out. by [deleted]

Those are your examples? Do a lot of people walk up to you at random and ask you what the tallest building in the world is? That's the sort of question you think is commonly being asked?

Also, how many times does the average hummingbird's heart beat per minute?

Counter LPT: If someone asks you a question they might want to have a human conversation with a real person, and not everyone is wired to assume that the default for everyone should be "interact with as few people as possible." If you constantly find yourself trying to limit human contact unless necessary and shaming those who do not, consider whether that's actually in your own best interests, and whether it makes you a douche to shame others for not doing the same.
