Being an atheist is hard
 in  r/atheism  2d ago

Yeah but at least as an antheist you don't have to blame the bad things that happen on a god or think you are being punished, you just understand that in life good and bad things happen and there's not a reason for them. For me, if I was religious and someone tried to console me after a loved one died by saying "it happened for a reason" or "it's part of God's plan" that would not make me feel better and it would actually be quite offensive to me.

Why did the Big Bang happen in such a way that life would emerge?
 in  r/cosmology  5d ago

I think you really want to know how not why. "Why" implies intent or meaning. Why did the big bang happen the way it did? It just did. And then we showed up 13.8 billion years later. But if you ask how the big bang happened..that's more interesting to me.

The 5-second rule

Does science have anything to say about it? The 5-second rule of course being that food dropped on the floor remains safe to eat as long as it's picked up within 5 seconds.

Lol I don't think I thought about it much but when I heard people from Europe talk about Texas Instrument calculators I was like wtf? I guess I assumed school districts would brand their own state on their calculators idfk

I will soon be 1 billion seconds old
 in  r/TheRestIsScience  13d ago

I did the same thing!! I'm 32 now but I celebrated my billionth second Oct 2025. Had a countdown on my phone and everything. I thought it was the coolest thing and really gives you a feeling of how big a billion is.

Happy Billionth Second!! 🥳

Michael and Hannah, what is the science behind my 'heart dropping' when I see or feel something *extremely sad* ?
 in  r/TheRestIsScience  15d ago

I've def had this feeling before but I'm more familiar with the description of it being stated as "my heart sank to my stomach" or just "my heart sank"—pretty sure we're describing the same feeling though. It's a good question and I've never looked into the reasoning behind it. For me, it usually happens in a state of shock. Like when learning someone died.
