• From whether humanity can evolve again to what would happen if we never stopped eating,
we answer some of your most BURNING questions about life
• How’s it going, folks?
I’m PringleTheOne - I'll be reading out the questions and answers
• I'm Danger Dolan and I'm here to blow your mind with truth
10 – i-have-a-great-name How can cockroaches survive nuclear explosions but humans can’t?
• Because they’re basically indestructible!
They roll up into their shells, harden up like a metapod and at that point they become
the toughest material on Earth.
• Look, I’ll demonstrate this on Frankie.
You’ll notice he doesn’t even feel my foot-
• * • Ohhhh – Frankie.
You’re supposed to not get crushed.
(sigh) I should’ve warned him of my awesome stomping power.
• Cockroaches wouldn’t actually survive a nuclear blast; the heat would destroy them.
However, they’re capable of enduring 100 times the radiation that humans can take due
to their slower cell cycles – though they likely wouldn’t be able to lay anymore eggs.
9 – takumi nightcore Is there a limitation of how much we can put on the internet
• There is a TYPE of limit that not a lot of people know about.
It’s called a meme quota.
You’ll notice popular memes only get shared around for about a week or two before they
die?
It’s because the internet literally cannot fit more of that meme on the servers.
• Oh!
So that’s what happened to all those dank sonic memes?
There were just too many to put on the internet?
• Na they were just bad.
• There’s no risk of the internet approaching a “size” limit as the amount of storage
and data supply is theoretically limitless – so long as we keep connecting more computers
together.
Interestingly, back in 1997 they were able to back up the entire internet onto 44 two-terabyte
tapes.
Nowadays it’s a “little” more than that.
• * 8 – Eltoria Why do we dark circles under
our eyes when we're tired?
• That usually means you’re gonna die soon.
That’s the universe saying, “what if you just slept, but, like, forever?”
It could also mean you haven’t had much sleep lately but na mostly it’s because
your time’s up.
• What about me, Dolan?
My eyes are almost pitch black.
Is that bad?
• Means you’re already dead, like, 8000 times over?
How you been feeling lately?
• I feel great! • … yeah, I think you’re dead.
• Being tied means your skin gets dehydrated.
This hollows out the area under your eyes exposing the dark-coloured blood vessels underneath.
Though it could also be caused by allergies or other conditions, so see a dermatologist
if they won’t go away.
7 – ChiefSurgeon Have we developed technology to understand the speech of any animals?
• We already understand them.
If you go in the kitchen and a cat meows at you, it’s saying “I’m an annoying rat,
I’m a difficult burden for you and you know what?
In reality, I don’t even know what I want!
Me?
I’m having an existential here.
Perhaps food will satiate me.
But I can’t be sure.”
• Funnily enough, we’ve already proven we don’t need technology to communicate
with animals.
A lot of pet owners “teach” their pets certain words and non-verbal cues.
Machine-learning technology could one day translate animal noises into English words,
though they have to be taught first, making the translation fairly redundant.
• * 6 – Peter Piper Why do we get a brain freeze?
• Depends how tiny your brain is.
If you got a little pea brain, it’ll freeze much faster.
• That makes sense actually!
I get brain freeze all the time, but I found if you get yourself a really hot coffee or
cook up a juicy sizzling steak, then you snort them, that gets rid of the freeze in no time.
• …what?
Snort!?
What you actually… you do that?
• Of course!
I snort everything.
• I don’t know how I feel about that… crazy alien thing… yellow weirdo… snorting…
you tried DRINKING coffee?
• Drink it?
But how would that reach my brain?
• Good point.
Well-reasoned.
• Brain freeze is when cold drinks freeze the nerves at the back of your throat, actually
simulating something close to a headache.
Due to this, an interesting fact is that migraine sufferers intentionally give themselves brain
freeze to reduce the pain – and it works!
5 – ddgreen94 Can we as a species evolve past humanity?
• Do some sit-reps, some cardio, eat some green beans, fish, the food pyramid.
Look at me, I used to be a man, now I’m a completely white cartoon character.
Transcended… reality.
And that’s just with a healthy lifestyle.
• I wish I could be more human…
• Well then you should stop looking at dank memes and snorting everything.
Just a suggestion.
• Humans are evolving faster than before we developed culture and technology due to
the end of natural selection.
Not only that, but DNA techniques means we can control and upgrade future generations
for increasingly fast evolution to come.
It won’t be long before we have to figure out if we are indeed, “still human”.
• * 4 – zoey5672 Why can’t men give birth
to a baby but women can?
• Because the law hasn’t been passed yet.
Everyone knows when you’re planning a baby you have to sign the baby contract and the
girl gets instantly pregnant as soon as it’s signed and co-signed.
Us men will have to make do with beer babies and food babies for now.
Sure it’s fun to give birth to a 6 pack of lager and a chicken schnitzel, but one
day we’ll do better.
• Unfortunately, men aren’t biologically capable of producing children due to the lack
of uterus.
There’s been a lot of research into uterus transplant surgeries transgender women, but
at this time it’s still highly experimental.
3 – Jarry913 Why do sharks die if they stop swimming?
• Just like cats, sharks are also prone to momentary existential crises.
They stop for one second, they realise they’re swimming in circles, trapped as humans watch
them from glass.
No escape, no way to contribute to shark-kind.
A prison.
Shackled.
A shark tank of pointlessness.
• But what actually kills them?
• They get dark circles under their eyes.
Then they die.
• Sharks pump oxygen into their bodies through swimming, however a lot of them can idle for
a short time unless they have weak pump muscles – in which case yes, they could die if they
pause for too long.
It’s rare, but it does happen.
• * 2 – Laurie and Donyell Why does fire turn
green if you burn plastic?
• That means you’ve burnt a magic shopping bag, you’ve exposed the wizarding world.
Soon they’ll be after you.
They’ll hit you with a neutraliser-type wand gizmo and blow up your skull and stitch
it back together with blu-tack.
You think that’s a hangover you got?
Na, wizard blasted your skull because you saw some green fire.
You can’t dispute this.
• Green fire is caused by the chemicals into the plastic burning up and getting released
into the atmosphere.
It’s generally not a good idea to do this, as some of the chemicals can be harmful to
you or even fatal – so don’t warm your marshmallows over it.
1 – alphahuntingwolf What would happen if we kept eating without stopping?
• That just means you've discovered the noclip infinite eating hack.
I've shown it to Pringle before, you just eat fairy floss, suck in air from a balloon,
backwards long jump 360 noscope until you hear a ding and you'll be able to eat without
limit! • (fat voice) It's true, I've eaten tons
and I ... oof... ugh...
I'm totally... fine...
• Pringle, you only did a 180 long jump, didn’t you?
• (Fat pringle groans) • If you ate without ever feeling full,
very quickly your risk of diabetes, cancer, diseases, breathing problems and asthma would
skyrocket.
Prader-Willi syndrome is just that, a real disorder where you never feel full no matter
how much
you eat.
