• From whether snakes chew their food to what the first piece of candy ever was, we
answer some of your most burning questions about life
• Hey there, my name is Melissa, I'll be reading out the questions and answers
• I'm Danger Dolan and I'm here to blow your mind with truth
10 – Doge_2410 Could an animal fire a gun?
• Of course not, animals and animal people don’t have the mental facilities to hold
a gun and shoot….
pfft… they don’t even know how to turn the safety off, it’s just embarassing
• Technically, they can, but only if they’re well trained and they can only pull the trigger,
they can’t reload or adjust the weapon or anything like that.
Chimps can hold a gun and shoot, but they’re not trying to cause intentional harm; to them,
they’re just holding a thing and pulling a tab
9 – Aevarjairo Were humans supposed to have tails?
• No way, tails are useless, nobody important has one, OOF… alright, tails aren’t THAT
bad, they look funny but, UGH… tails are fantastic, I love them, they’re so cool,
YOW…
I’m not worthy, tail gods, bless me with your wavy butt sticks—ARGH
• No, unfortunately humans have never had the potential to grow tails – there have
been a lot of examples of babies born with a growth on their back that resembles a tail,
but these are mainly cysts and tumours, and unlike true tails these growths lack vertebrae,
bone & cartilage • But weren’t you human once?
How did you get a tail?
• Painfully, Dolan.
I don’t want to talk about it.
• Well… look at me, I’m a mysterious bird person who doesn’t like to talk about
things murr murr murr…
8 – InflamedTie Why is water see-through?
• It’s not see-through, what are you crazy?
It’s blue.
Here I took some pictures to illustrate my point.
See this one?
Blue.
Ooh this one is gorgeous.
Blue.
Okay, this one is red, but that’s besides the point.
• This is because water is composed of nothing but hydrogen and oxygen.
We see light and colour on solid objects because that’s the light energy bouncing off it
and then back to our eyes – water molecules don’t absorb or reflect much of anything,
so light passes straight through it 7 – klkclan666 How was time created?
• This one guy had a crazy 100 word essay due the next day, but he just didn’t have
enough time to get it done – so he invented clocks in order to figure out how long he
had left and accidentally created time and now we all have to age ‘cause of this jerk.
Thanks.
• If you’re talking about the concept of hours in a day and the overall lifespan
of the universe, unfortunately we don’t know enough about existence to answer that
question – a better question is: was time created, or has it always existed?
If time was created in the same way that the big bang created the universe, how it did
it happen?
• Melissa, can you help me with this 25 word essay?
• 25 words!?
Just write a sentence and you’re done!
• But that means I have to do stuff!
Again.
6 – Cona6789 Why don’t snakes chew their food?
• It’s because snakes are lazy.
All they do is lounge around, their jaws wide open, constantly waving rats over saying,
“hey, hey, why don’t you uh.. jump in my mouth, just uh… climb in my stomach there”
– surprisingly this often works, though the rat would just complain “why is it taking
you so long to digest me” – *sigh* animals, man…
• Snakes don’t have teeth like you or I, but they make up for it by having a stretchy
jaw held together with elastic ligaments instead of bone – their stomach is also stretchy,
so they can swallow prey way bigger than themselves and slowly digest it with stomach acid instead
of chewing 5 – Cookiegirl6745 What would happen if
all the water on Earth disappeared?
• Everyone in the world would have to go on a search for it, gotta look under all the
pillows, behind the fridge, in your socks – and if we can’t find it we’d have
to travel to Pluto and harvest more and, UH, it’d take like 2 entire hours to get there,
we’d all be pretty damn thirsty by that point and believe me, it’s not fun peeing
dust • A few things: first, the continents we
live on would collapse and no humans or creatures would have land to walk on, so our bodies
would have to evolve to live in magma to survive – second, water wouldn’t absorb solar
radiation anymore, so the temperature would go nuts – lastly, there would be no rain
and all life would waste away • *
• MELISSA!
Stop wasting all the water we have left – you’re KILLING us
• CAW CAW CAW CAAAAAAAAW 4 – JKUZI Why are galaxies always moving
away from each other?
• Look, nobody wants to talk about it, all I can divulge is that there was a party, something
went wrong, people saw something they shouldn’t have, and look, I thought everyone had one
but ooooh nooo, it’s WEIRD, so everyone packed up their galaxy and started moving
away, GEEZ, overreaction much?
• It was back in the 1920’s that Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies seemed to
be moving away from each other, faster and faster than the speed of light even though
there’s no reason or explanation for it, which we now call the “Hubble Constant”
caused by dark energy – we still don’t know why, it’s one of the great mysteries
of the universe 3 – If knees were backwards, what would
chairs look like?
• Chairs?
Trust me, you don’t need to worry about chairs.
You need to figure out how to walk first, I can do this butt roll thing but it ain’t
easy.
Must be nice to have a tail right about now… just saying.
• It depends which way they bend, if they go backwards so that they’re aligned with
the back of your head, it wouldn’t be too different since chairs have a gap underneath,
if they bent upwards so your shins align with your stomach, chairs would need a section
at the front to rest the back of your knees on
2 – TheMuffinMan3 Will human society ever inhabit the moon?
• Sure, you could move there right now – that is, assuming you love ROCKS.
Yeah man, I’m all about those rock sports, rock dinners, rock bowling, rock music – I
could even see myself settling down with a nice rock and living out the rest of my days
without oxygen, y’know, because I’d be dead, because it’s the MOON
• Well, it’s been a while since the last time man stepped on the moon, and there have
always been ideas thrown around about a moon base – it could easily happen within the
next 30-40 years assuming we have a good reason for it, and we could even harvest air and
water from the moon soil if we so choose 1 – SquishXBeta What was the first piece
of candy?
• Rock candy.
And I’m serious, I actually invented this stuff, there I was minding my own business,
casually beating on a rock with some random stick when it transformed into candy – and
believe me, it was the most delicious thing in the world
• It’s impossible to identify the first piece ever made, but it’s likely cavemen
would roll nuts and fruits in honey for the first ever primitive candy, and records show
Spaniards, Indians, Arabians and Egyptians refined the process as far back as 8000 years
ago • *
• Ugh… do you mind?
It’s hard to live when you’re killing me all the time
• * • You owe me candy
