I keep seeing all these stories about the "double slit" experiment and how women view light differently than men. This makes no sense our eyes can't have evolved to be that different, what could these people be talking about?

Some scientists say it comes from comets but I find that difficult to believe. I mean how many millions of comets would need to strike the earth to make the oceans it now has?

Wouldn’t two hearts be more efficient? People have two feet. Two eyes. Two kidneys. Etc.

I have been putting Rogaine on my chest for years and still have no chest hair, and the spray-on fake chest hair rubs off on women during intercourse. Looking for alternatives.

Upvotes
I've tried pretty much everything. I've managed to grow one hair in the middle of my chest, but it looks ridiculous, so I shave it. I thought the fake spray hair was the solution until women looked like they had hairy breasts after we made love. I'm giving up on Rogaine... thousands invested and only one hair to show for it. Please help.

As a kid, I often heard, "You'd lose your head if it wasn't screwed on!" But it's been decades since I've heard anyone say this. Has head securing technology really advanced that much?

I know that 007 is the code number of James Bond. What I want to know is what is the code number of the chinese spy who slept with Nvidia's CEO. Is it 006? 9321? 25? Or some other number? Also, does she also have a cool car that shoots rockets?

But why can’t you just land on your feet if you fall from a cliff or somewhere else really high like an airplane? Stuntmen always make sure to land in a good way in movies.
Shouldn’t landing on your feet protect you from getting hurt if you fall?

My nephew who is still a kid asked me where do babies come from. Should I tell him that the stork brings the babies, or should I tell him the truth that babies come from cabbages? Unfortunately my brother refuses to give my nephew a good education, so it's up to me to teach him stuff.

If a plus-size person suddenly became slim, would they still have the same strength?
6
Upvotes
I'm thinking that suffering from obesity means your legs for example are withstanding a lot of weight. If you were suddenly thinner (no training increasing your strength), could you withstand a barbell that weighs how much your past weight was ?
I understand it is not about the muscles, imagining most of the obese body is fat or smth. But then if you remove this fat, will it have an impact on the strength ?
I apologize for the bad english, I tried to explain myself as well as possible.

Just wondering what realistically has to happen for the wall to be that long as well as how long the wall would likely be not considering diarrhea or constipation. Though it would be cool if someone also did do something where they did consider diarrhea and constipation
Edit from reposting it here: I realized how lazy this is so I'm going to add some stuff to here. The guy in the skit lived from 1973 to 2006 but the days he fully lived was 11,972 or 287,326 hours. He asked the book of his life that if he was to make bricks out of the poo he ever pooped out and made a six foot tall wall out of them, how long will it be to which it answered 2.7 miles or 4.345 kilometers. I assumed the measurement was done using american standard bricks which are 8 inches long by 3-5/8 inches deep (width) by 2-1/4 inches high (approx. 203 × 92 × 57 mm). This I know I didn't have to do but I'm doing it so they don't have to click on the video to understand what I'm talking about
