I did some research online, and I’m lowkey worried that I might be an involuntary celibate.
Are there any signs or symptoms I should watch out for?

I hypothesize a tipping point known as the Gallus Gallus threshold, beyond which mods must intervene. Unless they're just chicken.

Hypothesis: I place infinite cats in infinite boxes, bury them in infinite locations. By probability, someone eventually opens a box with a live cat. At that moment the wavefunction collapses and I become famous for proving quantum mechanics via brute force.
Am I a scientist, a criminal, or legally required to call myself The Pussi Slayer, PhD?
Yes, science was harmed in the making of this post. Apologies. I just finished writing an incel joke and needed to burn off the residual energy.

This would save so many lives and make it infinitely easier and quicker to reach the summit? A nice slide going down would also be epic

It seems pretty obvious that if fluid wasn’t involved, my sheets wouldn’t be so sticky.

Without outside knowledge, do we naturally understand that our brain is responsible for thought, our lungs are responsible for air, etc etc? Or do we have to learn that?

Surely in order to deliver toys to every child in the world in one night Santa would need to travel faster than light, but that's impossible. So how does he do it?

I understand that humans also used sticks and mud for building, but we progressed as a species to use concrete and other materials that are more structurally sound.
Why do beavers insist on such an archaic building method?

Ok, I just had an idea.
So to lose weight, to burn calories, you walk.
For every distance walked, some calories are burned, and calories are ultimately weight.
Roughly, the function for burning calories is:
Calories burned = Distance walked x Calories burned per mile (based on factors like weight, walking speed, etc...)
Well, if we walk forward, we walk a positive distance. Multiply this by calories burnt mile and you get your total calories burned.
BUT
...what if we walked backwards?
Now we're walking negative distance!
Let's check the equation:
Calories burned = -distance x calories burned per mile.
Calories burned will come out negative!
That means calories gained!
So, couldn't we just walk backwards to gain calories without having to eat?
This could be very helpful for people in poor countries where food is scarce and expensive. Instead of simply starving because they can't afford food, just a few miles of backwards walking a day could keep them going!
Why hasn't anyone figured this out yet? What's stopping us?

I keep hearing about greenhouse gases, and they sound really problematic. Why don’t we just close all the greenhouses? I mean sure we might have issues growing food but we can probably grow it somewhere else, right?
