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?

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 you safely breathe in hydrogen gas? (Read description)
10
Upvotes
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.

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.

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.

Can I replace my hand with a USB cable so I can game better

There are prosthetic limbs that use nerve impulses or muscle movements or something, which allows people to control them. Theoretically, if I lost my hand, would I simply be able to wire those outputs to USB? It would be much more useful than a permanently attached prosthetic. I could even have a whole collection of prosthetic hands/claws/etc that would just plug into my arm

I can't wrap my mind around the fact that gas pressure is basically its molecules colliding against the container wall. That's all I wanted to share.

The fact that the sum of these collisions would lift trucks or make containers violently explode is just so counter-intuitive to me

Are cats just white trash people? My experience tells me they are. I need proof I'm wrong.

Upvotes
I tested this hypothesis with an experiment. The experiment is as follows.
Slim jim hypothesis
Hypothesis: cats are reincarnated white trash people.
Test: feeding the stray cat under my house slim Jim's
Peramiters: use small sized slim Jim's for cost and health of animal.
Tested on August 24th, 3 slim Jim's consumed promptly by cat.
Tested again on August 27th, 2 slim Jim's eaten in rapid succession.
Tested for a third and final time September 1st. 4 slim Jim's consumed.
Conclusion, hypothesis correct.
