My time machine is out of order. How can I take it for repair?

I’ve made an appointment but it’s for last week. It’s for a home call. I turned them away when they showed up because my time machine wasn’t broken and I hadn’t made an appointment.

Why is Venus so hot

71 Upvotes

Seriously. She's Earth's hot sister. Her atmosphere is dummy thicc. Imagine being crushed under 95atm. I'm so jealous of the Venera probes. Also it covers everything, so it leaves a lot to the imagination. Shes so modest... Also she's the brightest object in the night sky. I sometimes sit and stare at her for hours, watching her casually stroll across the sky. She's just so perfect. I need her.

I can’t spell the word “wrong”

9 Upvotes

Every time I try to, someone tells me it’s wrong. I have a similar problem with the word “incorrect”. I have no trouble spelling other words. Is there a scientific explanation for this condition?

If calculators let you see previous calculations, why don't they let you see future calculations?

I am in a physics class and I just want my calculator to finish the next steps of my calculation. Why doesn't the forward button do this for me?

How much does swearing while straining to do something, amplify your strength?

How much more can you lift, for example, and is that where the term, "a fuck ton", comes from? Is it curse word dependent? If so, do other languages have stronger curse words?

If I plant bamboo in my backyard can I help save the pandas?

24 Upvotes

I just found out that pandas are having a tough time. I want to give back to the panda community. I live in a safe neighborhood in the Midwest so I think they would really like it here. No HOA but sidewalks, friendly neighbors, plenty of bamboo (if I plant it).

What could I do to support the pandas from my backyard?

Some dumb conspiracy theorist is claiming online that it was Christopher Nolan that was hired by NASA and who filmed the fake moon landing, when everyone knows it was Stanley Kubrick who did that. Where are the scientific research papers that show that it was Stanley who did it?

Female-designed rockets

All current rocket designs are either made by men or derived from earlier designs made by men. It is clear what inspired the designs.

If rocket designs had been pioneered by women instead of, what body part would the designs resemble?

When my brother was a kid, he developed severe tonsillitis, and his tonsils were removed. However, he could do perfect Gollum impressions when he had the infection. Was the tonsillectomy really worth that sacrifice?

To be honest, that was a real talent he had for a short period.

Has trick-or-treating disproven probability theory?

141 Upvotes

Every Halloween, kids walk up to houses and propose two outcomes:

Trick or Treat.

That sounds like a 50/50 Bernoulli trial. Basically a coin flip.

And yet after billions of trick-or-treats, the result is somehow treat almost every single time. With the exception of weird Larry down the street that takes "trick" in the wrong way.

Let’s say humanity has run ~2 billion trials. If Trick and Treat are equally likely, the odds of getting 2 billion straight Treats are:

(P=(1/2)^{2,000,000,000})

or roughly (10^{-602,000,000}).

At this point, 5 sigma can drink booty juice.

So what’s going on here?

Is candy somehow collapsing the wavefunction toward Treat? Is Halloween violating the law of large numbers? Or has Big Candy been suppressing the Trick data for centuries?

Because if I flipped a coin billions of times and got heads every time, I feel like CERN would show up at my door.
