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

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

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.
It’s an abridged version of the “in this essay I will…” trope
We do what we want, because we can
Love how it says that an “illegal ebike” that has more than pedal assist is a moped, when legally a moped is considered a bicycle without the need for a moto license. At least in the US
Started playing on crossplay between PC and Android, but the android client would consistently freeze while mining rocks in the mine or chopping trees on the farm. It’s not officially supported yet, so happy to wait for the update. Otherwise it worked really well.
