You pulled every single one of these from Reddit that was posted 3 says ago... at least give some credit or pretend to be original? https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/10tt1hd/dont_water_a_grease_fire_dont_mess_with_a_garage/

The urine one is also a great way to get out of meetings and family dinners.

That would involve FAR more effort than this so-called writer puts into any of her contributions here.

An interesting article would look into the last twenty years of predictions made by the Farmers Almanac and compare it to the weather data from the same time period, looking for trends.

Lifehacker posts with the byline “Elizabeth Yuko” have a 100% probability of being garbage. 

1. ‘It’s a balloon! one bullet would do it’ is just.. several bad assumptions in one. All balloons are certainly not the same. I have no idea why you think a helium balloon the size of 3 busses 50 000KM in the sky is the same as a normal birthday balloon at sea level. Temperature, pressure, volume, fluid densities,…

If this were really a spy balloon they wouldn’t have waited so long to shoot it down. It was first acknowledged over Montana, but realistically the military knew about it as soon as it entered Alaskan airspace. They had plenty of opportunities to down it over unpopulated wastelands before it hit the ocean.

This is a mostly US website. I’m not concerned about the US spying on China, I’m concerned about China spying on the US. It’s okay to pick sides.

You sure think you’re an expert and then write this.. not much point in knowing all the plane/bullet details if you’re going to make one weird assumption about the target that ruins your whole plan, or don’t bother to read the story about when they tried shooting down a weather balloon before.

Wy trust the specialists who actually study and work on these issues when we can believe some random person who googles stuff?

Good take, I figured this would come next. All parents with young kids should be relegated to the house until that child can behave more like an adult. Have cross country family? Sucks to be them, hope they have the means to take extra time off to account for drive time and possibly pay extra costs. Otherwise, they’re…

What an extraordinarily ignorant view on children and parenting. This may sound shocking, but tiny children often behave very differently from each other, regardless of the parenting method. 

Or you know, it’s based on hours worked in the year. If someone worked only part of the year, they’re definitely not getting the maximum.

That sounds like a good thing. Most people don’t know how to use them anyway

“popular SUV may be affected by high beams that fail and cannot turn on again.”

Burnout in healthcare (and a bunch of other professions - first responders and teachers for example) is real, rampant, and horrific. Yes, that leads to suicide on occasion, which is also horrific. And we can talk about suicide and what it does to your loved ones all day long, and I think that there’s nothing easy about…

Fossil fuels are the reason we are where we are today. Without them we would be nowhere. If you like heat, electricity being able to buy goods at a store and being able to get from one side of the globe to another in less than a day thank fossil fuels.

Uhhh they don’t control the prices of a barrel of crude. Their story is a bit more complex as they are a vertically integrated super major, but they didn’t make oil go to $120/bbl. Remember, oil is traded globally. It wasn’t just the US that was paying high prices for oil after Russia invaded Ukraine. Tons of…

It’s not insanity to defend a necessity.

Several ways to structure it, but let’s do it in a simplistic way.
