There’s one feature Boost has that I really miss when I try to switch, which is that it will save your position in the comments of a post. So like if you scroll down halfway and then leave the comments and come back, you are still in the same spot. Every other client I’ve tried doesn’t have that feature and it’s kinda a deal breaker for me

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)?

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 examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?
