Stupid things I've seen on Yahoo! Answers (but I repeat myself)
-
I decided I'd make a thread for this stuff. Today's entry is a question:
[url=https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20150727232611AAze21N]Is the United States the biggest planet on Earth?[/url]
Some of the responses are amusing.
-
Well there is the timeless How is babby formed?
Or I swallowed an ice cube whole, and I haven't pooped it out?

Full of expectation, I started browsing Yahoo Answers, but I was disappointed. Early in the list was the question GENDER STUDIES: Is a 43 year old dating a 17 year old wrong?. That is a very provocative title, so my expectations were high, but most answers are so damn reasonable, it's disheartening. What happened to good old trolling? Or the question I'm 14 years old and pregnant. I found out that I will be having a girl. Any names and middle name ideas. Thanks?. People are just expressing sympathy and write the names they like. Where is the bigotry, the hate, the harassment, the stupidity? I'd almost regain my faith in humanity.

GENDER STUDIES: Is a 43 year old dating a 17 year old wrong?
With that one it might be interesting to see what differences there would be in the answers if the genders were reversed ...

Go ahead and try. We'll be waiting!

Or if they were both the same to begin with.

"... or if only one of the genders was reversed" did cross my mind...

I'm too lazy to look at all the old ones I've read from other sites.
Yahoo Answers has more trolls than this place.

Can your baby get pregnant if you have sex while pregnant?
Yes, it can. DO NOT HAVE SEX WHILE PREGNANT!!! Your baby will get pregnant then your baby's baby will get pregnant and your baby's baby's baby will get pregnant and it will just make and infinite loop of babies and you don't want that.

Maybe in absolute values, but percentage-wise I doubt any place1 even comes close.

Wasn't there a flamewar else-thread about gender being tertiary/quaternary or somesuch?

This reminds me of a short story I once read. I don't remember all of the details, and there were golems involved in the character figuring stuff out, but the thing of it was that sexual reproduction wasn't what it is IRL. Inside of eggs were microscopic people waiting to be fertilized and grown. And inside them were more tiny people, etc. And the problem was that eventually there was going to be an end to the tiny people (got too small or something), which was obviously very disturbing to the guy who discovered that there were only a few generations left. Something like that.

Gender isn't quantized, it's continuous.
so it's not ternary or quaternary either, unless you are counting number of axis the gender term has, in which case that's not the right set of words to use for that.

250 = .10x what is x?
At least 5 people say 25. Granted most of them can't see the decimal.
The craziest is
250= .10x
first move the decimal 2 places to get a whole number
what you do to one side, you must do to the other
25000= 10xdivide both sides by 10
250/10= 25
c=25
.10 == .1, why move it 2 places? But whatever, ends up with 10x.
But then how the hell did you get back to 250 instead of 25000?

How many helium balloons to get my cat into space?
Save helium. Send cat off with a radio camera. Cat will go into woods and hunt mice, sending back pictures.
BRB finding a cat
-
I don't understand how the radio cat + hunted mice gets it into space.
-
You should try it before you criticize.
-
I own a cat, and she can barely make it to my couch and that's without being weighted down with a radio camera.
-
Maybe you need to combine the balloon / camera approach.
-
Now you're cooking with gas.

Helium is inert
that depends on how hot you get it.
get it up to 1.41 x 1032 Kelvin and i'm sure it will find something to react with
-
Well... By all Accounts, The only thing that will be around to react with then would be @blakeyrat. And if he has had an all day breakfast at the Big Bang Burger Bar, followed by a sumptuous meal at The Restaurant at the End of The Universe, I doubt he will be in any mood to "piss about" (no slight inteneded).
And that will be a reaction well worth getting the out for...

Or how cold (so the compound actually stays bonded).

For now. It's only a matter of time before someone gets it to play with the other elements.

Many years ago scientific advancement and and "experimentation" was a purely theoretical exercise. I.e. Somebody would have and idea and would proceed to publish a pamphlet or book about it. Sooner or later, somebody else would have a similar idea, or a variation of the original, and do the same. Eventually there would be enough such material for a third person to "review" all such publications and "decide" which was correct.
One day somebody said "..rather than theorise what happen if you hit an egg with a hammer, lets go out and try it and document the results..." Thus empirical science exploration was born. It would seem that scientific advancement would be regressing with the preponderance of these "thought experiments".

Hmmm...Lassy, news, mork and mindy....I always wondered cause it probably got boring riding (riding there starship to the moon)..i wondered if they fought over the remote.
Because astronauts have nothing to do on mission except watch TV. And you can get decent TV reception at the Moon's orbit.

You would need (not that I know or have tried), a high gain, low noise aerial - inverse square law, and all that jazz

-
Trolling level: Proficient.
-
We decided to go with the gravity program so people and animals wouldn't like, float away. Since other planets don't have visitors- no need for it really. The reason the Mars mission was cancelled is because it would have cost too much to ship one of the gravity machines way over there.

Somehow, I can't help but think that the querent was think of lysergic acid when they asked this.
