Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 4, 2022

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I don't have much advice about picking out a ring, but I do want to drop this data- spending more on an engagement ring is correlated with a higher likelihood of divorce. Obviously this probably is not because more expensive rings cause divorce, but it's worth pointing to as a reason not to stress out too much about the process of buying a ring(I am assuming that buying a more expensive ring correlated quite strongly with putting more import on the ring, but I feel like that assumption is sort of a null hypothesis).
