why is the moon been waxing for 14 days per 29-day lunar cycle for the last 4 billion years instead of using laser hair removal?

that's really expensive compared to laser hair removal which is a one-time thing

Knowing that it gives you energy, increases strength and endurance, decreases calorie intake and helps you lose weight, how can anyone actually believe that smoking crystal meth is bad for you?

I have also heard that you can purchase a 3 month supply of high quality crystal meth for half the price of a one month supply of the highest dose of Zepbound.

Isn't this just another example of Big Pharma fooling the masses into believing that an expensive, synthetic pharma poison is safe and that crystals from mother nature are bad?

Can you safely breathe in hydrogen gas? (Read description)

I can generate a bunch of hydrogen gas using caustic soda, water and aluminium foil. I approximately have a 0.5L hydrogen gas filled balloon.

Can I just breath that in to change my voice for fun?

Is there anything bad with it OTHER than accidentally igniting it inside my lungs / inhaling too much of it causing hypoxia?

I don't think I contaminated the mixture with any other gases cause the aluminium and NaOH I used was of lab grade purity.

Why hasn’t anyone tried Schrodinger’s cat experiment for real? It seems like it would be a quick trip to Home Depot to find a dark box, some duct tape, a radioactive atom, hammer, and a small vile of poison. The Geiger counter you might have to get off of Amazon. Then find a cat volunteer.

And why not dogs?

If I'm hot as Pheonix Arizona and I'm in Utah with multiple bitches, under new laws am I Ted Bundy, or did Gangta Rap make me do it?

I need an answer from a criminologist. The gangsta rap moral panic about music making people violent is driving me nuts. Does serial swagger create serial murder and if so is Gangta Rap responsible for it?

If we're going to blame gangsta rap for people's behaviour, why stop at the comparatively mundane?

I'm asking for scientific analysis of the causal chain, or whether this is a serial problem of treating gangsta rap as society's scapegoat.

Why is it that it's only princes from Nigeria that offer great business opportunities to people all around the world? Why don't the princes of Morocco or England or Japan offer those deals too? Is it the case that only Nigeria has altruistic princes?

If Mercury has a melting point of around -38 degrees then why hasn’t it turned into a giant ball of liquid yet?

It’s literally so close to the sun it should be like super hot, yet it’s still a solid despite its melting point being really cold. Should we go rescue it and put it next to Pluto?

Can we all stop making choices please?

Clearly all of the world's problems can be traced back to peoples' poor choices. If we all stop making choices then most of the world's problems will disappear.

Refuse to choose.
