    I just wanted to share that I often have auditory hallucinations, most of which are very unpleasant.
    A couple days ago i hallucinated you saying “nice job” after I made myself some Mac N Cheese and it was honestly more support than I had gotten all week.

    • @Kaalhode.
      @Kaalhode. Před rokem +86

      Yeah, I think they just phrased it a bit badly. Though, there is no good answer to it. You could maybe answer the "travel forward in time" better, but it really depends. Usually when we look at ways to travel forward in time, it's usually more about putting you in some type of artificial coma and preserve the body in a way that doesn't let it age, so the "time" would continue naturally for everyone else. When it comes to "back in time", it's more complicated and harder, and that's usually where the "multiverse theory" comes in, but it's hard to say for sure unless we find a way to test it. If they mean what happens with time as a quantity, then nothing, because time is just a phrase used to explain progression, not a quantity in itself. If they mean "What happens to the current time period if you time travel to the past?", then my already written answer is relevant, but the main thing is that we don't know for sure, because we have no evidence on it being possible for now, only theories and speculation. Though, that isn't to say it's impossible, we just have no proof of going back in time being possible at this time

    "what happens to the time it takes to time travel" is actually a good question.

    • @TechnoSpice
      @TechnoSpice Před 7 měsíci +92

      It's actually not. Time travel to the past is theoretically impossible without literally undoing the universe. Time is literally just the unit of measurement of change. Therefore, to travel backwards, it would mean undoing all the changes in the entire universe to the point you'd be traveling back to. Short of an omnipotent being existing capable of such a feat, it would not be possible.
      Time travel to the future only applies to things with a perception of time. Time travel to the future is merely suspended animation. The traveler still exists and it's traveling at normal "speed", they just don't perceive anything changing around them. Everything is traveling forward through time all the time.

    As someone who used to use Quora, the site itself is to blame for this. If you’re active enough they will offer you monetization for asking questions. Which SOUNDS nice until you realize that not only is the monetization dependent on how many answers you get but that the site will automatically combine your questions with similar ones (and this happens a lot because ofc the genuine questions people have to ask have already been asked before). As such, people learned that asking stupid questions works around this. They’re just trying to generate rage clicks and answers. It’s why you can find tons of clearly fake stories of people being obviously terrible parents on quora.

It was actually kind of ominous and threatening. The “pineapple bandit” as we had taken to calling them delivered it no matter what the weather was like and even when it was so snowy that we couldn’t move our car. This continued for about three and a half years before we decided we wanted to catch whoever was doing it in the act. So, my dad got a security camera and in the morning we watched the footage. Turns out that it was my grandpa and we asked him about it next time we saw him. He’s still doing it to this day.

      In Shrek’s first appearance, we know that he was faced with his land appropriated for the state’s use of relocating the undesirables. Determined to reobtain his private property, he embarks on a trek, through his charisma, befriends Donkey, a domestic jackass, after he made an escape from the train headed to the prison camp.
      They made their way to the capital, where Shrek bested Farquaad’s knights, and formed a deal with the lord himself: to bring a certain girl in a keep to him.
      In the way was a fire-breathing dragon, which, after seducing Donkey, Shrek outwitted it and defeated her, although keeping her alive as he knew she would be of use to him later.
      Bringing Fiona back to Farquaad, they were ambushed by a group of gangsters. During the attack, Shrek was shot and did not even notice it. Once Shrek brought Fiona to Farquaad, and reobtaining his property from the undesirables, he immediately made plans to construct a wall.
      Shrek headed back to the capital with Donkey and began his political assassination. With his hitman, Dragon, they killed Lord Farquaad, without a struggle.
      So if Shrek, the Ogre who toppled an authoritarian regime with ease in under a year was faced against Hitler, he would probably be able to end the nazi regime in two months tops.

    With “how can I have sex with Asia”, there are quite a few different things which the poster might mean. The first is that they want to have sex with a girl named Asia. I do not know Asia, so I can’t give personal advice, but I would advise OP to get to know her and try to be confident when approaching her. I would also encourage them to not make fun of her for her weird name.
    The second possibility is that they want to have sex with the continent of Asia. In this case, I would advise they go to any Asian country, find a small hole in the ground, and just go to town on it.
    The third is that they want to have sex with all of Asia; that is, that they want to have sex with every single person on the continent. I would say that this is impossible for numerous reasons.
    1. A very large percent of people in Asia are married or otherwise in a committed relationship, and as such will likely not want to have sex with anyone other than their partner.
    2. Most people in Asia are exclusively attracted to one gender, so OP will have difficulty trying to have sex with people who are not attracted to their gender.
    3. Furthermore, homosexuality is illegal or shunned in many Asian countries, so even if OP could convince every same-gender Asian to have sex with them, it would be illegal.
    4. Also, many Asian countries are rather conservative and so many people will not want to have premarital sex with OP. Polygamous marriage is illegal in most Asian countries so OP cannot solve this problem by marrying everyone in Asia.
    5. A large percentage of people in Asia are minors, so attempting to have sex with them is both illegal and immoral.
    6. Finally, there are over 4.75 billion people in Asia, so having sex with all of them within one’s natural life span is pretty much impossible.
    For all of these reasons I advise that OP does not attempt to achieve their goal of having sex with everyone in Asia, as it is doubtlessly impossible.

    "Why does the sausage have two ends?" is probably a question regarding the German expression - "Alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei", which means, 'Everything has an end, but the sausage has two', essentially it is expressing that everything must come to an end.

      @@darthrincus I personally don't think so, the moral of the expression is already delivered on the first half of it, it makes sense to ask why the sausage have two ends. If the expression wants to say that everything has one end, why did it included the sausage after?
      My bet is that it's supposed to convey that you ended a pig life to delight on the sausage, but the positive delight also has an end, this of course making the "pun" of it actually having two ends

      I think I'm a tiny part of the reason Yahoo Answers went down. I asked, "Why don't bumble bunnies exist?" And to be honest I already had enough information at the age of 10 to answer this question if I thought about it for a second. Obviously, a cross between a bunny and a bee would just eat all of the flowers it was supposed to pollinate... Also, it wouldn't be able to pollinate anything, it would be too big (at least how I imagined it).
      However, I also heard (well read in this comment section) that people at one point had a monetary incentive to write B.S. questions (like they would get paid for questions that were different from others and got responses).

    The egg question reminds me of a prank I pulled. Here's the story:
    When I was in Driver's Ed a few years ago, me and my classmates gifted the teacher a cartoon of eggs with faces drew on them we got during break from a convenience store. It wasn't my idea, but I really liked the prank idea and joined in, helping with drawing the faces on the eggs. It was the last night of Driver's Ed btw and our Driver's Ed teacher is a very chill guy. As for his reaction to the prank, was one of confusion and amusement. He didn't want to keep the eggs, nor did anyone else, so I brought them home with the idea of my own prank.
    It was a 2 days before Halloween, so I decided as "trick", I'd leave one of the doodled eggs in the mailboxes my neighbors a few houses away from my home. I choose empty mailboxes only and gently propped the eggs against the back of the mailboxes to prevent any breakage. I had the face of the doodled eggs facing the entrance of the mailbox so the person would definitely see it's silly little face.
    I never got to know how the neighbors reacted to my prank, but a day after Halloween I checked the mailboxes I put eggs in, and all but two were gone. As for the the last two eggs, I threw them into the woods for the animals to eat the yolk.

    The first question is actually correct. Saving files mean changing the ammount of electrons on the device - which technically does increase its weight. But its such a small ammount its barely perceivable - the whole internet weights about the same as a strawberry: 50 grams

      Approximately 7.28*10^-15 grams per terabyte if each bit is one electron.

      Changing the amount of electrons does not mean it will get heavier. SSD's use transistors with a float gate, and when the float gate is high the bit is 0, and seeing as an empty ssd is all zeroes, the ssd will get lighter if you store something on it since the gates that are usually high will be set to low which means less overall charge.

      Internet without the hardware weights as much as a tiny fruit... It's beautiful.

    the first question about downloading files on it is actually a decent question. It actually may make it slightly heavier though insanely negligibly because electrons have some weight, and the RWM will be able to contain some electrons outside of the battery of the computer at times. also using music to light a candle is also a good question because the thread of some candles have a flammable oil in them that could possibly be triggered by a strong soundwave at the right frequency

      I was wondering about the candle too, because I used to watch a lot of science videos that did the weirdest things and part of me went "....but is it theoretically possible?"

      it would only make it heavier if the disk was already zeroed. If it contained some garbage data (from a deleted file, for example), it might actually make it _lighter_ if the bits it's overwriting contain more 1's than it does

      On an HDD it would make it lighter as, with every write, the tip loses a couple of atoms.

    I used to be straight and have to deal with periods every month. It was such a drag! Thankfully, I've become a lesbian and now those awful times are a thing of the past! Woo! Who knew not being in severe pain and discomfort for a quarter of each month was this easy?!
