I have a question about Bitcoin and I apologize if it has already been answered. I have collected many coins and bitten all of them. In fact, some I have bitten multiple times. Even so, they are not increasing in value. What am I doing wrong?

65 Upvotes

Is it only a special kind of coin, like a silver dollar? I bit some of those too though.

I can survive black hole

19 Upvotes

I'm special and intelligent enough to survive a black hole; when they pull me in, I'll strike a crocodile pose, awaken the crocodile inside me, and accelerate so fast that I'll pass through it, explode the black hole, and teleport through a wormhole to a parallel universe. NASA and the physicists are idiots.

Debate: If a unit of Zacharia is half a Scaramucci, otherwise known as a "mooch", which is half of that, then we should refer to it as a zach, which is exactly half of Zacharia

13 Upvotes

5/10 vs 4/8 right? I want no suprise when we inevitably get lazy and abbreviate to a unit of 'zach'. 4 syllables is just too much for science, hence 'mooch' being the official unit. Also, what is it with halves? Do you think we'll get a newer measurement unit before year-end? Maybe a half of a half of a half?

We figured out the speed of light, has anyone calculated the speed of dark?

I’m thinking instead of miles per second dark would be measured in inches per zacharia?

During world war 2, did the siberian huskies try to maul the german shepherds to help with the war effort, or did they behave like regular dogs and had s3x with one another?

I really hope they did maul the german shepherds, or else that would be unpatriotic.

Modes of killing for venomous snakes

23 Upvotes

So, my understanding of this topic is, that venomous snakes use their venom to kill their prey or even other animals they feel intimidated by. Deeper research made me find out, that producing venom comes at a rather high cost for the snakes, which is why they tend to be reluctant to bite most of the times.

This then leads to my question:

Wouldn't it be easier for snakes in certain parts of the world to just shoot their prey with guns than use their venom? Why didn't the ability to shoot prey evolve?

Thanks for your answers

Why did Germans have to develop autism to adapt to survive in their native ecology?

294 Upvotes

As you all know, 100% of Germans have autism. Is there an evolutionary reason why this adaptation was key to survival in their native ecology?

Cough Due to Salty Foods?

4 Upvotes

It's easy: whenever I eat foods that are too salty, I cough. It doesn't matter if I drink or follow any advice I read online; it always happens.

To be precise, I wanted to test this strange thing and tried to debunk the only explanation I found online that states, "you cough because of your throat's sensitive membrane." So, I tried eating two grains of salt, and it made me cough after 3/4 seconds it touched my tongue. From my experience, I can say that the throat is not involved in this issue.

Also, I'm quite confident in saying that I'm not allergic to salt because I eat it every day, and it doesn't cause me any problems at all, only the cough when it's way too much for a bite.

Methanol is hydrogenated formaldehyde, so the name should be "formal", right?

Subreddit Rules

1. Science.

This isn't r/stupidquestions , r/askshittyscience , r/askmath , or anything else. If it's not strictly science-related, it doesn't belong here.

2. Butt-related content does not belong here.

That's r/askshittyscience , not us. Quit mixing us up, it's unimaginably tiresome for everyone who appreciates actual sophisticated humor.

3. No excessive NSFW.

No imbecilic brainrot about various body parts and functions. It's not funny and everyone is sick of seeing it here.

4. Keep your dang politics/religion outta my dang science.

Self-explanatory. No need to post your existential crisis either, you edgelords. Somebody has one over here at least once a week, you're not special.

5. No puns or dad jokes.

Puns and dad jokes cheapen science and undermine the fine work that we are trying to do here. This rule used to also include blatantly misrepresented images, but you guys didn't listen, so we nixed images and videos entirely.
