The goal of those wildly inaccurate ads is simply to get the person to click the ad and download the game, and hope they'll stick around and keep playing the game even if it's nothing like the ad depicted it to be.

The goal of mobile game ads is to get a new player who will spend some average amount that is less than it costs on average to get a new user.

Cost to get user < Revenue per user = profit

Excellent, thanks! I don't have a normal control to test, so I had to ask...

I've maintained my resting heart rate over the last few months of actively trying to rest and pace myself to try and help my long COVID. This has caused much hand wringing about deconditioning from every single person (not to mention what all of their friends say!) who knew me before I got sick! Despite me telling them I'm still hitting my Fitbit (now switched to Garmin!) cardio goals, they are thoroughly convinced that deconditioning is something you'll never notice until one day you get up to make a coffee and your legs crumble into dust. Which you can then supposedly never recover from. A presumably healthy person like you, your description of deconditioning and your knowledge of your own body and what's going on inside it isn't questioned as much as...anyone within a 10 mile radius of the 'rona.

After learning this, I tried the trick myself a few times on late night trips to the bathroom. I can navigate my bedroom fine in the dark, and I'd close one eye before turning on the light.

It worked surprisingly great, though it gave me an oddly unbalanced feeling. I'd compare it to vertigo maybe? The eye that I kept closed/covered could still see perfectly fine when I turned off the lights and opened it again. The other eye couldn't see squat. I think it messed with my depth perception a bunch, because I was basically blind in one eye.

Adjective order is different than most grammar rules as it's rarely needed to distinguish 2 correct sentences.

For many grammar rules, if you don't follow them, it's still grammatically correct, it just means something else. For adjectives, unless your adjective means 2 different things that have a different position in the order, that doesn't happen.

Most languages don't have adjective order.

Yes. And the armrests with grimey cigarette ashes. Least you got the head set with the air tubes that were never comfortably flexible enough and literally went INTO your ears. Just for the next person to use. 🤮

There was a time when they also handed out a little toiletry bag and socks you could keep. That was nice though. I felt super fancy.

Your body’s reaction to being too warm is to sweat. The sweat will evaporate, cooling your body down as it does so. This works well in air. However, in water, the sweat doesn’t do anything; it just mixes with the water, providing no cooling.

You might not even realize you’re sweating in a hot tub (especially if you’re splashing around), since your body does it automatically. However, you’ll definitely notice the sweat when you’re in air; it’ll bead up everywhere, and start dripping if it’s both hot and humid. Thus, you’ll realize you’re too hot much more quickly in air than in water.

Your submission has been removed for the following reason(s):

Loaded questions, or ones based on a false premise, are not allowed on ELI5. A loaded question is one that posits a specific view of reality and asks for explanations that confirm it. These usually include the poster's own opinion and bias, but do not always - there is overlap between this and parts of Rule 2. Note that this specifically includes false premises.
