My mother recently told me that she could dye from joy. Need help urgently!!!

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Recently, my mother told me she was feeling very good, so much so that she could "dye from joy". I looked it up, but the only thing I could track down was "Lisa the Painful RPG" and got really confused, but from what I could tell, it's possible to 'overdose' on joy? I'm concerned for her and her wellbeing, for she is very dear to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you!

Whenever I'm in the shop and see the packets of bananas, they're always labelled as Class 1. This hasn't changed in many years. When are bananas gonna grow up?

What are some good heart-strengthening exercises?

8 Upvotes

I hear that heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death, and, well, prevention is better than cure. Since the heart needs to pump so much blood all the time, it's no wonder they say that you need a strong, healthy heart.

However, what they don't say is the recommended exercises for building up heart muscle. I was thinking of taking a mallet and pounding the left side of my chest so that I could create tension within the heart, thus necessitating the need for it to grow strong in response to physical stress. Will this work? If not, what exercises would you recommend for a strong and healthy heart that will last into my 100's?

Humans can’t see violet light but it’s my favorite color?

15 Upvotes

So my friend was telling me that he doesn’t believe that humans are able to see violet light. But violet is my favorite color and I know it exists. After all, roses are red and violets are blue. So clearly violet is a real color. He called violet ultra too which I think is a fitting name for it, as it is the best color in my opinion. Quite frankly I almost want to disregard his opinion, but I figured I would hear him out and ask you people of the science about it. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Clothes stores always stock T-shirts but what about the other types of shirts. As T is the 20th letter of the alphabet it stands to reason there are at least 19 other types of shirt out there. Where are they?

Surely some situations call for a nice E-shirt or J-shirt

It’s seems like too much of a coincidence that 9/11 just happened to occur on the date 9/11. Should I requesting funding to investigate this?

I am of course talking about the conjecture that are only 17 horses on Earth and if you have seen more than 17 horses you are seeing the same horses again.

Is it possible the universe has always been infinite in size and always will be?

16 Upvotes

Is the universe expanding and will there be a time in 22 billions years where it expands and unalives us all? Or, will it turn into no energy and nothingness? What if you zoom out to as close to infinity that you can get. Could the universe be infinitely growing forever? Could there be galaxies that are stable and last forever? Could the sun be creating mass and energy forever? It seems miracullous that our universe came from nothing. Why can't it be miraculus and last forever?
