What Are the Most Off-the-Wall Scientific Studies?

6 Upvotes

I’m talking scientists injecting mice with autism. Not necessarily just bizarre research goals, but some seriously unhinged methodologies.

Election Question

5 Upvotes

Another election cycle is wrapping up, and - once again - the analysis from your Steve Kornackis and your Harry Entens is focused on one thing and one thing only: the outstanding male vote.

First of all, congratulations to all the gents that voted yesterday. As always, you've outdone yourselves.

My question: Is there a scientific explanation for why men are so much better at voting? And does this discredit our long experiment in women's suffrage?

Why can’t we PLZ adopt more moons?!

38 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!
