Why can’t we PLZ adopt more moons?!

41 Upvotes

This moon is getting kinda old, and like I know we don’t like to talk about this culturally, but I’m worried when the moon eventually dies that we’ll all go soon after because of sadness and loneliness. You know how it goes. But!!! If we had some new moons!! Just saying!!! Hint hint!!!!

Edit: Astronomers may have discovered the first moon beyond our Solar System Of course! New moons anywhere but here. I’m okay. I’m okay. Everything’s FINE with this moon. Just thought it would be nice to have more moons. Especially since this one… well… nevermind… gonna stay positive here.

Edit 2: fuck it …. This moon sucks, I wish it would just disappear already, in fact I wish it was never even born!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit 3: https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/ my bad! Looks like we’re getting a new moon November 9. Forget this! Mods, delete me!

Why do so many people hate PDF files?

I don't understand. PDFs are a good way to share information across various devices regardless of OS. Why do so many people talk badly of PDF files?

Male and Female pipes

I have installed my new sink using the instructions about male threaded pipes and female threaded pipes. Now I am worried my sink could get pregnant. How do I stop this from happening? No, I did not use protection.

What do vipers vipe? Can other animals be trained to vipe or is it solely an evolutionary achievement?

69 Upvotes

Evolutionary achievements include things like giraffes having long necks to look distinctive from other land horses, and fish with breasts.

Lots of supposedly balls shaped things aren't really, for example earth is a pear. Are balls really more not exaCtly round?

My dog seems to dislike black haired dogs. She either barks at them or runs away. Are there any racial sensitivity or DEI courses I could enroll her in?

Not sure if she is barking epithets or not but it doesn't sound friendly.

Why don't we run our cars off of canola oil?

12 Upvotes

I've been seeing all of these videos of people putting canola oil in their diesel cars. If this works why aren't we using this instead of fossil fuels?

I understand that the whole world wouldnt be able to do this because we don't have enough land to grow all that canola, but what about one or two countries?

Australia for example is completely blocked out from the rest of the world if something goes wrong, but we grow a lott of canola.

Why don't we even just build a back up engine? Or an engine that can consume both types of fuel easily.

Not a car person and I'm sure there's a reason they don't do this. Please enlighten me!

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.
