Why not?

That’s rash city, Jake, rash city!

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

I’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

What’s your NAme

How OLD (are you)?

Where are you FROm?

I guess in this example, “who is your daddy?” Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise

Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?

24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film

Good luck getting consistent cuts while you’re freehanding. The idea is to make the nice flat cat scratching pad, and also being able to make the tool with the tool printer you have at home

For some reason the first time I read it, I thought it was an “L” so now I always call them “Apple mages”

Honestly, same. I want to play it so bad, but never liked turn based stuff

I learned recently that there’s a word for this, which is “thought-terminating cliche”

Thank you! I was always morally opposed to ads. Glad to have another great reason to shun them

Exactly. I hate when things say FREE!* (*With Ads), because you ARE paying for it. With your PRECIOUS TIME

I feel like the old guys in my area just talk about their health problems 😂

Something to look forward to, I suppose

Some are only 30 cents! At least they were…

I agree, cash is fun in Germany. I think it really helps that the 1 and 2 euro coins are available and used in circulation. It was so nice going into the Späti and buying a beer with a single coin.

Change feels unnecessary in the States since the highest denomination that’s widely circulated is the quarter dollar. There are dollar coins, but they are hardly ever used.

Ok, besides the sewers, what have the Bulgarians ever done for us?!

You got it

Figma balls

I get that. Where is the irony? I think to be ironic there needs to be some air of unexpectedness. I certainly think it’s amusing to say that you were buffing a nerf gun, but maybe not unexpected

But I think Alanis Morissette would be on board
