@ben_lubar I know a guy who has some amount of titanium screws in his foot. I'm sure he didn't eat those.

@Scarlet_Manuka said in Stupid things I've seen on Yahoo! Answers (but I repeat myself):
The first half of the question isn't necessarily stupid. The second half, on the other hand...
If the universe is infinitely old, and there's a nonzero probability of it occurring, then it's almost certain that it has happened before.
(tho, if Earth isn't infinitely old, you can fairly well rule out whether it's happened here -- but the question "has this ever happened" could be referring to nuclear bombs ending all life on a planet with species intelligent enough to invent them, not to ending life here on Earth specifically.)
Does hot water for taking a bath goes into electric bill or gas bill?
Depends on whether the hot water heater uses electric or gas to heat the water, so you can't say for sure. However, you can be fairly certain that it goes into the water bill, at least...
Are two vectors parallel if they are equal in magnitude ?
Sounds like a "my homework question is multiple choice, so is this answer correct?" question.

@Tsaukpaetra Very funny. I should probably give an example of Jaffee's "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" for our non-Merkin forumgoers (and those in the US whose parents didn't let them read Mad Magazine when they were young enough to find it funny):

Already told you didn't he: he missed
That's irrelevant to the question. If he was shooting, then he hit something. He could have also thrown something. There's several ways someone could miss. Besides, missing just means he didn't hit what he intended to.

Nobody's allowed to dig, so it's possible they're colourless!

In which case, mu, there are no infinite objects laying around, especially not within our (presumably) finite spacetime continuum.
Now go bother the folks in the maths department, kid. We're busy making useful shit here. Like exercise bikes for fish.

Well, it was posted in Mathematics. Like I said, the main problem was that it was too vague, not even addressing points like how many pieces they wanted or whether the pieces had to be finite in size.

I said "finite", not "small". It's a damned big finite.

What kind of silliness is that? The turtle doesn't stand on anything. It doesn't need to. It's a turtle. It swims.

That doesn't mean it can't.
Well I suppose that depends how strictly you define 'stand', since turtles rest on their plastron when out of the water, but my point can. Are you suggesting it's in water? What does it swim in? Whether swimming or not, it still has to be supported by something.

@PleegWat I'm most definitely aware of what you were talking about, but I'm trying to be deliberately silly here and you're just making me feel unintentionally silly.

@Boner That's not 100% fair though. Water was used in a number of the original definitions. If you substitute a different liquid, conversion factors show up.
Also it's rare to use calories for anything other than food - the standard unit of energy is the Joule. It takes 4.186 Joules to heat one gram of water by one degree Kelvin. The density of pure H₂O is not 1.000 kg/l, and the mole definition is based on carbon not hydrogen.

@antiquarian I wouldn't say it's so bad. There's a huge amount of the 'If evolution is real why do we still have monkeys? Checkmate, atheists!' type questions, which get tirelessly rebutted, but generally it's pretty good.
I can't remember ever telling it what I'm interested in but it sends me good questions about Unity every week, and there are quite a few answers by actual game devs.
