I’m thinking that no, it doesn’t. Which begs the question of why we do it? Is it a psychological thing?
minus-squaremorphballganon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years ago I’m thinking that no, it doesn’t. You can literally see the difference (not to mention feel it). The amount of steam coming off the food after blowing on it is less. Also, you’re misusing the phrase “begs the question.” It doesn’t mean “leads me to a question.”
