Not sure if this is true or if I'm remembering this correctly, but I recall hearing a story about a plane that was grounded because a woman had accused the guy sitting next to her of being a terrorist because he was "writing in Arabic" when in reality, he was a mathematician doing calculus. Maybe this person's son was just doing math lol
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
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.
@@TechnoSpice Poverty of imagination is not a stand-in for intellectual discourse. Time is not a measure of change - time flows even if nothing is changing - colloquial descriptions are not the same as scientific definitions. But none of that is relevant to appreciating the point of the question. Which you can't do, because you've filled your head with a whole bunch of quasi-pop-science nonsense that is at best, 'approximately correct;.
it doesn't make sense don't you think? or is there something I'm missing? no, anyway you can't put out questions about the Peculiar Workings of something if we can only imagine what that something is in the General Sense.
@@robertd4851You can put any questions you want. If the ability to answer is a prerequisite for asking the question, we would still be in the stone age. And yes, it makes perfect sense. You have a time machine, you get into it, at exactly 12:00 am, you press 'go', to 1000 BC. You open the door, it's 1000 BC, your clock says 12:01 am. Where'd the one minute go?

"If I have 5 real cows and I multiply them by Zero, where do they go." I laughed so hard I went very dizzy -- I don't think I've actually genuinely laughed in a very long time.
I appreciate the confrontational tone of the original question, too. Like "How do you mathematicians come and tell me I have 0 cows? Where do they all go?" lmfao
My best guess would be that you would perceive time moving the same, and everything else would perceive you moving faster through time or something like that (keep in mind I'm just some numskull on the internet, so feel free to correct me)
I once saw a question on quora that was “can you die from eating drywall?” The top reply was “I saw a kid put spackle between two pieces of drywall and eat it like a sandwich. He's not dead, but he did go to jail for rape, so there's that.”

Edit: ok now I know it was accepted in Rome too, stop please 😅 I think they confused ancient romans and ancient greeks' culture.

@@Tama-1313 I think it was more just “gay people exist and god caused Pompeii bc of it” I mean that’s at least what I constantly hear down here in the south

I learned the other day that there’s a program for Quora that pays you based on the engagement your question gets, so it incentivizes the asking of just the most bizarre or provocative questions to milk for engagement money, which explains the number of questions which are like: “so how can I abuse my child further”
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.
oh damn. as a child abuse victim, i couldn't be sure they were fake, and being unable to unsubscribe from their emails after leaving was stressing me out. thank you for saying this, that makes me feel better.

I once made an account on Quora to see the answers to a question that was likely about schoolwork.

Things like "why is my daughter uncomfortable with me installing a camera in her bedroom if she has nothing to hide?" or "I only let my son play 15 minutes of video games daily. How do I explain to him that is more than enough?"
@@boiledelephant thought as much, I don't think any parent with a stick up their ass would suddenly be open for constructive criticism on quora of all places
@@Xnoob545 nobody is stupid enough to the point where they will ACTUALLY punish their kids for the dumbest things, and they mostly do it to get attention anyways.
Honestly the question "can you light a candle with sound" is a legit one. It's like, technically speaking, you can transfer energy using sound waves (citation needed?), so it might be possible?
yes, theoretically, but extremely difficult if you can produce a sound loud enough that the friction of air on the candle wick produces enough heat to begin combustion, then yes. however, if you manage to produce such a sound, you would likely die (not to mention the candle)
Of course, some of us who aren't born at the bottom of the Irish Sea are instead born on the Isle of Man, and we swim over to either Ireland or Scotland. Choosing between the two countries depends on where the phrase "God I hate England" was last muttered.
I have a story that is quite similar to the single white egg. For years, every Friday when me and my family went outside there was a pineapple on our doorstep. 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.
"Why are things?" is actually a question so basic that it "loops around" to the point of becoming very involved, profound, and mystifying. Seasoned and tenured professors of philosophy and researchers involved in theoretical physics have to consider that very question, and various different permutations of it, all the time, at least in some sense or another.
I was thinking the same thing tbh, that seems like a misunderstanding made by the people of the great site called 'Quora' as the question '''Why are things'' is one of the greatest debates ever in the whole world even some people try to justify god and some people say that it is in spite of one and it is one of the greatest mysteries ever no one has a right answer that is the same for everyone. also sorry for bad eng 2. language

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.

For some reason I always get frequent emails of different Quora questions, but they’re all about parenting for some reason. Here’s some examples: “My son was sleeping without my permission. How should I punish him?” “My son has 12 million subscribers on CZcams. How do I tell him it isn’t a viable job and that he should delete his channel as soon as possible?” “I’m depressed, my son’s depressed, and my daughter is depressed. What should I do?”
Same! Since they're obviously trolls, I found some funny at first, like how do people think of this stuff. But eventually got bored and deleted my account since I don't need one more social media, especially since Quora kinda turned into a Twitter/Reddit hybrid at some point.

I think the question about “cop the gay” might actually be a weird autocorrect/text-to-speech from “coyote”. It’s the only thing I can think of that both sounds even remotely similar to “cop the gay” and could reasonably be seen eating a bird in someone’s backyard.
My favorite part of Quora is that the actual answer is usually sandwiched between 3 other answers to “related questions” which are presented in the exact same way.

That question about ducklings being used as ass-wipes in medieval times most likely comes from someone taking too seriously a passage from "Gargantua and Pantagruel" a satirical novel by François Rabelais.

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.
The fact that the guy listed himself as "teacher/coach/father" made it even funnier to me. I'm guessing he's heard his share of dumba** questions from kids over the years & usually doesn't get to use the sarcasm as much.

"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'm on Quora. I don't recommend it- most of the questions are either "AITA for punching a two-year old for smiling," or "When will the left/right learn..."
Keep in mind a good portion of questions on Quora are autogenerated by the site in order to spark discussion. They range from average questions a person would realistically ask to things unbelievably bizarre and stupid.
As a reminder, quora also autogenerates questions to spark discussion. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're poorly worded, sometimes they're just bizarre..
This makes a lot of sense. Still, I think there are a lot of children like my younger self who discover the question and answers site and ask the first thing that comes to mind. 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).

It may surprise many people that "Is Israel on the world map?" is a more complicated answer than yes. There are a non-trivial number of countries that actually don't recognize it as a country either for religious or political reasons. So not all world maps may have Israel on them.

"Asia" is a girl's name. It's pretty uncommon in the UK (although still present), but in other parts of the world it's fairly common. In Poland it's short for Joanna (don't ask me how, it doesn't make much sense but there you go). So the question "How can I have sex with Asia" is not that stupid, although asking the Internet about it seems weird.
@@braunstein5645 It's because it's not short form of "Joanna" directly, but of the diminutive of it: Joanna (base) -> Joasia (diminutive) -> Asia (short) Jack and James are through the common etymology. They are coming in Egnlish from adapting the variants of the same name, but those variants were old French (James) and modern French (Jack) respectively.
One of my favourite Quora Questions is one I recall seeing almost a decade ago lol. It was "Is a bird a bacteria?", and someone seriously answered it with "No, a bird is not a bacteria." I screenshotted it and kept it on my desktop for around 8 years. Just made me laugh
Well technically birds are alive and so is bacteria, both of which start with b, so I can see why someone would begin to question the glaring similarities
I was watching this on the tram and had to stop midway because I was SO close to bursting. Incredible how some people go online to post a question on quora, a process which takes more time than using google for questions of that calibre or simply thinking about it for more than a second.
Actually music can light a candle. If the music is loud enough, the sound waves will eventually carry so much energy that the candle will heat up enough to be set on fire. The reprecussions are that if you managed to make music this loud, it would also set your whole house on fire (and kill everyone living near you through soundwaves)
Actually good questions. "How high do planes fly when landing" - Planes have to descend to a certain altitude before landing. "Is Israel on the World Map" - It's hard to see Israel on the world map because it's quite tiny. Definitely won't have the word "Israel" written in it. "What are things" - Entire field of Philosophy called "Ontology" "Can deaf people do surfing" - Not if they have Hearing Aids or Cochlear Implants the salt water could damage them.
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.
0:00 he's kinda right on that one. Macbook Airs use SSDs so they store voltage/electrons in the NAND chips. By downloading data it would increase the mass of the laptop by the weight of the electrons to write that data to the NAND chip. This has actually been measured with both SSDs and HDDs. Charging your battery though would cause an even larger weight increase.
Actually, depending on if you are using battery power or wall power the weight of the laptop may decrease instead of increase due to no prodded being 100% efficient.
🤓acxshually I took a single year of chemistry and just finished with redox reactions. A battery supplies power by transferring electrons from one piece of metal to another through the rest of the circuit. The total number of electrons in a battery hypothetically never changes, not unless something in the circuit undergoes beta radiation or something weird like that
My favorite troll questions on Quora are the ones that are like "my 8 year old son cant do advanced calculus and wont get a job. Should i ground him for the rest of his life or just kick him out?"

I saw one that read "Do Irish people levitate?" to which I answered "Yes, we do, in fact, levitate. But alas, I am only a third Irish and can only levitate 1/3 of the height a full Irish person can."
The previous comments are funny af but Im confused on how you can be a exactly a third of an ethnicity. Wont the fraction always have a denominator of an even number since every person have 2 parents
I remember one time, I was bored, and, for my own amusement, made my own stupid Quora question. It was this, "I recently caught my wife eating a left Twix, but I only eat right Twix! Should I divorce?". It only got one answer before I decided to delete it myself and it said, "Yes, right and left Twix is a very serious matter", or something like that lol
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
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.
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
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?!

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
@@DaddyGandhii like your funny words magic man
"what happens to the time it takes to time travel" is actually a good question.
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.
@@TechnoSpice Poverty of imagination is not a stand-in for intellectual discourse. Time is not a measure of change - time flows even if nothing is changing - colloquial descriptions are not the same as scientific definitions.
But none of that is relevant to appreciating the point of the question. Which you can't do, because you've filled your head with a whole bunch of quasi-pop-science nonsense that is at best, 'approximately correct;.

As an atheist, I can confirm that we all must consult Neil Degrasse Tyson in order to understand whether a food is sour sweet or bitter.
If Tyson isn't available, we can consult the nearest person with a lab coat (but only if they aren't religious.)

I learned the other day that there’s a program for Quora that pays you based on the engagement your question gets, so it incentivizes the asking of just the most bizarre or provocative questions to milk for engagement money, which explains the number of questions which are like: “so how can I abuse my child further”
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.
oh damn. as a child abuse victim, i couldn't be sure they were fake, and being unable to unsubscribe from their emails after leaving was stressing me out. thank you for saying this, that makes me feel better.

How do I explain to him that is more than enough?"

"Why are things?" is actually a question so basic that it "loops around" to the point of becoming very involved, profound, and mystifying. Seasoned and tenured professors of philosophy and researchers involved in theoretical physics have to consider that very question, and various different permutations of it, all the time, at least in some sense or another.
I was thinking the same thing tbh, that seems like a misunderstanding made by the people of the great site called 'Quora' as the question '''Why are things'' is one of the greatest debates ever in the whole world even some people try to justify god and some people say that it is in spite of one and it is one of the greatest mysteries ever no one has a right answer that is the same for everyone. also sorry for bad eng 2. language

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.
Thank you! I knew there was a German proverb but couldn't remember it while watching the video. Cheers!
Then the question is actually "why must everything have 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
If you fry both ends of a sausage, do the two ends become "fri-ends" with each other? 🤔
Why sausage specifically? So many things have two end.

Keep in mind a good portion of questions on Quora are autogenerated by the site in order to spark discussion. They range from average questions a person would realistically ask to things unbelievably bizarre and stupid.
As a reminder, quora also autogenerates questions to spark discussion.
Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're poorly worded, sometimes they're just bizarre..
This makes a lot of sense. Still, I think there are a lot of children like my younger self who discover the question and answers site and ask the first thing that comes to mind.
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).
"Can music cause a candle to light?" sounds like an episode of Mythbusters. I would genuinely like to see someone use sound wave and convert them into energy used to heat fire on a candle

My kid stayed up a minute late, so I took away his furniture, electronics, and only fed him bread and water for a week. Did I do enough?
Edit: Someone suggested I should take his skin away, so I did just that. He’s very annoyed.
MAN GIBE HIM SOME FOOD
Not enough. Take his skin.
no take his femur
At least give him bread with butter and ham on it, and make sure it’s all mouldy and gross
Take his bones

It may surprise many people that "Is Israel on the world map?" is a more complicated answer than yes. There are a non-trivial number of countries that actually don't recognize it as a country either for religious or political reasons. So not all world maps may have Israel on them.
The question is stupid for saying "the world map" like there's just one
@@Liggliluff Well, tbf there is a "official" world map which is comprised of the country who are members of the United Nations (for example Transnitria, Kurdistan and the Sahrawi Republic are not there even thought they are fonctionnal states)
@@PanzermeillerI dont know about other countries but there is no country known as Kurdistan. Kurdistan is an autonomous region in Iraq, not an actually independent country.

“what is my date of birth” is actually a fascinating question because it implies that no one (surviving perhaps) may be able to tell you how old you are, especially if you don’t have documents of some kind.
you only know how old you are because someone told you a few times and you remembered or wrote it down. if someone is from another country or lost documents, there is an actual question there. how would one find out how old they are? hospital records?

"Asia" is a girl's name. It's pretty uncommon in the UK (although still present), but in other parts of the world it's fairly common. In Poland it's short for Joanna (don't ask me how, it doesn't make much sense but there you go). So the question "How can I have sex with Asia" is not that stupid, although asking the Internet about it seems weird.
They probably watched too much high school dxd
Asia being short for Joanna seems as unreasonable to me as Jack being short for James lol
@@braunstein5645 DICK being short for RICHARD is another example.
@@braunstein5645 It's because it's not short form of "Joanna" directly, but of the diminutive of it:
Joanna (base) -> Joasia (diminutive) -> Asia (short)
Jack and James are through the common etymology. They are coming in Egnlish from adapting the variants of the same name, but those variants were old French (James) and modern French (Jack) respectively.

4:15 If I had to guess, I'd say that it was supposed to say, "I saw a cat the other day eating a raw bird in my back yard..."

@@squarohedron0664Well yes, cats are skilled grill masters. /j
One of my favourite Quora Questions is one I recall seeing almost a decade ago lol. It was "Is a bird a bacteria?", and someone seriously answered it with "No, a bird is not a bacteria."
I screenshotted it and kept it on my desktop for around 8 years. Just made me laugh

That has the same energy as "is mayonnaise an instrument?"
@@TheLobsterCopter5000 ah, but mayonnaise IS an instrument: czcams.com/video/A5jnftBQw2U/video.html
I tried to find the post and in the process found "are humans just oversized bacteria?"
Well technically birds are alive and so is bacteria, both of which start with b, so I can see why someone would begin to question the glaring similarities
I was watching this on the tram and had to stop midway because I was SO close to bursting. Incredible how some people go online to post a question on quora, a process which takes more time than using google for questions of that calibre or simply thinking about it for more than a second.
Actually music can light a candle. If the music is loud enough, the sound waves will eventually carry so much energy that the candle will heat up enough to be set on fire. The reprecussions are that if you managed to make music this loud, it would also set your whole house on fire (and kill everyone living near you through soundwaves)
@puteqx Mild side effects of a brilliant idea, if you ask me
And that only adds to the brilliance of the question, asking a priori stupid question that you know that it has an actual answer
4:07 I think it is supposed to be "I saw the cat today eating a raw bird in my backyard."
that actually makes sense but I think I still prefer the cop the gay
Actually good questions.
"How high do planes fly when landing" - Planes have to descend to a certain altitude before landing.
"Is Israel on the World Map" - It's hard to see Israel on the world map because it's quite tiny. Definitely won't have the word "Israel" written in it.
"What are things" - Entire field of Philosophy called "Ontology"
"Can deaf people do surfing" - Not if they have Hearing Aids or Cochlear Implants the salt water could damage them.
Thank you for knowledge
When you're so stupid you accidentally flip your stupid question around to being smart
also, deaf people usually struggle with balancing their body, which is important in surfing.

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.
2:26 "why are things?"
Too relatable
the "I am 11 and stand at 5 foot 2. Am I obese" one lowkey sounds like the maths questions we get in reasoning papers
You could hear Matt dying a little more with each question. 😂 And I really, really hope that egg causes some random person a lifetime of confusion. 🤣
0:00 he's kinda right on that one. Macbook Airs use SSDs so they store voltage/electrons in the NAND chips. By downloading data it would increase the mass of the laptop by the weight of the electrons to write that data to the NAND chip. This has actually been measured with both SSDs and HDDs. Charging your battery though would cause an even larger weight increase.
Actually, depending on if you are using battery power or wall power the weight of the laptop may decrease instead of increase due to no prodded being 100% efficient.
@@Inyourface3445actually
🤓☝️
Electrons have negligible mass and voltage and electrons are very different things.
🤓acxshually I took a single year of chemistry and just finished with redox reactions. A battery supplies power by transferring electrons from one piece of metal to another through the rest of the circuit. The total number of electrons in a battery hypothetically never changes, not unless something in the circuit undergoes beta radiation or something weird like that
(Meaning I haven’t yet taken physics and might be missing several crucial mechanisms that involve mass change)

I remember one time, I was bored, and, for my own amusement, made my own stupid Quora question. It was this, "I recently caught my wife eating a left Twix, but I only eat right Twix!

@@freeRKelly885 Oh no I knew what Twix was, I was just confused on the left and right thing. Thanks for clearing it up!
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.
"I'm afraid of heights" my guy is a legend 😂
I laughed audibly at 3:52 the reply is absolutely clever and hilarious 😂😂😂

@@Krmiby💀
The but I’m scared of heights one is funny 3:50
Also relatable
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
I also thought the one about time travel was actually a pretty good question
On an HDD it would make it lighter as, with every write, the tip loses a couple of atoms.
Huh, didn't think about junk data being overwrote.
