Hi guys,
Just a thought that came to my mind, but with some of the contracts out there, it seems like they're bound to make a loss. In this example, I'll go with a Google Pixel 7. A 128GB of that would cost £599. With the airtime with it, let's go with a guess of £10 a month, thus £240 for a 2 year contract. So in total, that's £839.
Here's the kicker, the contract is priced at £25 for 24 months. Even accounting for let's say a 13.9% hike each February that would add up to £679. So... I can't quite wrap my head around where they are making the money!

ELI5: How do rainbows work and why is it always ROYGBIV instead of the colors being swapped around?

I know rainbows are from light hitting water droplets and being refracted essentially but I just don’t really understand how rainbows are the same every time. Why are they always the same shape and why are the colors always in that order?
I apologize if I sound dumb, I know this is some 5th grade stuff but it’s been awhile lol.

I have this ChatGPT-esque definition or analogy, I dont mind if it's TOO simplified
just pls tell me if its fundamentally wrong or inaccurate
and if you have a more accurate but equally simple to grasp definition or analogy
We can use the analogy of a "drawer" to simplify the concept of Active Directory. In this analogy, Active Directory can be compared to a drawer that holds and organizes various objects such as users, groups, computers, printers, and other network resources. Each of these objects can be thought of as a file within the drawer, and Active Directory helps manage and categorize them in a hierarchical structure, similar to how a drawer organizes different items. While this analogy captures the basic idea of organization and categorization, it still overlooks the full functionality and complexity of Active Directory.
ELI5: What did horses do before farriers?

I just saw a post where a horse was abandoned for a number of years and it's front hooves looked like the bottom of a rocking chair. I've also heard over the years about how farriers are necessary to a horses health. Now obviously horses have been around longer than the folks who take care of their hooves, so what did they do before people?
Did they have to scrape them on rocks or did they just have to wear them down by running? Just curious. Thanks!
ELI5 why they declare movies successful or flops so early during their runs.

It seems like even before the first weekend is over, all the box office analysts have already declared the success or failure of the movie. I know personally, I don’t see a movie until the end of the run, so I don’t have to deal with huge crowds and lines and bad seats, it’s safe to say that nearly everyone I know follows suit. Doesn’t the entire run - including theater receipts, pay per view, home media sales, etc. - have to be considered for that hit or flop call is made? If not, why?
