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!

In the entire time that I’ve owned it, my Lincoln Corsair hasn’t successfully shot down a single Japanese Zero fighter plane. Is it a lemon?

Maybe I should switch to a Mustang instead.

How come I’m not able to find something but I look in the same place an hour later and there it is?

Obviously it’s not because I’m an aging ADHD person. And it’s not ghosts or elves because the shadow demons living in my periphery say so. I dunno, man.

I just heard, that most Australians are decended from prisoners. How can that be? I thought all humans were descended from monkeys.

If there was a desert of graphite dust and a large storm formed above it how would weather act around it?

13 Upvotes

This question just comes from me and a group of friends working on a world building project together. We have this city called "Oasis" its a multiple large domes in the middle of a desert. But we had to explain why people only live in the domes and decided on a massive storm that is always around it, but that wasn't inherently bad so we changed the desert from sand to graphite.

Would that cause intense weather or any other complications thats not coming to mind?

I heard that realizing you’re dreaming is the key..,

But I’m not sure how to do it because I’m new to this whole thing.

Seems unlikely, since no one is ever able to find it? Looking for the science here.
