• From what would happen if humans were nocturnal to what a tongue tastes like, 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 – Klaiyn Torias If humans go extinct, can they eventually come back to life through
other means?
• Of course they can, but you have to release as a ghost and it takes AGES to run back to
your corpse – otherwise you can ask someone for a rez, but prepare to be disappointed
• Um..
Melissa…
*whistle*… sure would be nice if you gave me a quick rez, kinda dead here – hellooooooooo?
• If we’re talking about humans slowly dying out of old age, there’s always the
possibility of cryogenic freezing, which has a tiny chance of working if we eventually
found the technology to revive them, otherwise if it’s a mass extinction, there’s always
DNA resurrection but since we haven’t even done this with mammoths yet, for humans it
would be unlikely 9 – Trip Savala What would the world be
like if dinosaurs were still alive?
• Uncomfortable – it’s already hard enough finding a seat on the train to get
to work on a morning, can you imagine how squished we’d all be if dinosaurs caught
the same rides we did?
And don’t get me started on coffees – DON’T EVEN MENTION THAT WORD TO ME
• Even though we’d like to think that if the asteroid never hit that we’d have
T-rex’s roaming around our neighbourhoods, unfortunately due to ice ages and atmosphere
changes all the big dinosaurs would’ve likely died off by now, and early humans would have
finished off the rest thousands of years ago, but we would have a lot of smaller dinos,
such as birds today • Ah, so that makes you a dinosaur?
Called it!
• Hey you better be nice to me – I brought you a bunch of coffees
• NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *splash* 8 – kaleb creech Could a super nova incinerate
an entire solar system?
• No way man, super nova is the best ice cream flavour in the world – well, I guess
it’s true that I’ve never tried it before but one lick can’t hurt— *
• Well, considering our sun is a mere distance of 8 light minutes away, just enough to warm
our planet but not burn it, a super nova would safely destroy planets within 30 light years
of their explosion, and since Alpha Proximus is 4 light years away you can safely bet it
would indeed destroy our solar system, and more!
Though luckily this won’t happen as there are no super nova candidates near to our solar
system 7 – AriTheHusky Lover How does milk turn
into cheese?
• Y’know that old myth about how a cow produces cheese instead of milk because it’s
scared?
Well it’s true, and even though we’re always telling them, don’t watch Saw, don’t
watch Dawn of the Dead, they’re always watching it on their smartphones when we’re not looking
and we end up with mountains of cheese – tastes good but
• This is a process called curdling, in which bacteria piles up on aged milk, it digests
the lactose and produces acid which makes the milk come out in lumps and have a sour
smell – factories do this intentionally, but they remove the bits that would make you
sick so you can safely eat the cheese • This blue cheese is delicious – Dolan,
where did you get it?
• I watched that spooky movie: Paranormal Activity
• Um… does that mean…?
• I made it • *BLARGH*
6 – Toby Tiger What is the closest evidence we have for extra-terrestrial life?
• When you run out of toilet paper and there’s none left – I mean, there’s no possible
way I used up all 12 rolls so quickly, there is simply no other explanation than aliens
snuck into my house, blew their noise and wiped their stinky butts with my expensive
paper, and left in their spaceship, I refuse any alternatives
• There is no true objective evidence because all facts and observations should be taken
with a grain of salt, but there have been numerous depictions of space vehicles throughout
ancient history & even modern astronauts have gone on record claiming they’re very much
real and that we’ve been covering it up 5 – Hannah Hogan How do animals survive
when they’re hibernating?
• Clearly it’s because they’ve subscribed to Netflix, all they need are some social
apps, some seasons of anime, bit of mountain dew, Cheetos, go full neckbear and retreat
into your cave for decades at a time – don’t introduce them to an MMO though, or say goodbye
to them forever • Think of the energy you use in your day
as fuel in a car, the more active your day – or the faster you go – the more fuel
you use, which you get back from eating and sleeping.
Hibernating takes that fuel and conserves it heavily by slowing your breathing and heart
rate to almost nothing, you’re essentially sleeping for months on a stomach full of food
and drink • Hey Melissa, have I ever introduced you
to something called Reddit?
• Oh?
Who’s a Reddit?
• * • Melissa?
I don’t uh… think birds are supposed to hibernate…
• *HISS* JUST ONE MORE SUBREDDIT 4 – Mrs. Nightmare Could humans survive
if they were nocturnal?
• Survive?
At night time?
Does this look like the body of someone who just survives!?
Real men fear NO DARKNESS, NO EVIL— * *gasp* what was that?
Someone save me, I’m being attacked, can’t breathe, so weak…
• Sorry about that, one of my feathers dropped • Can’t… survive…
this… assault • Well, if we take inspiration from our
current nocturnal animals like bats and owls, we’d have much lighter skin, bigger eyes,
possibly lose our ability to see colour since that trait doesn’t matter in darkness, we
may even lose our desire to be social since being a lone hunter is much easier at night
time 3 – What does your tongue taste like?
• People have been asking me this for decades, and luckily I have the definitive answer:
a tongue tastes like a lick, let me show you *licking noises* how does it taste *more licking
noises* • By itself, a tongue tastes like nothing
– what you’d taste are the particles on it, such as food or bacteria building up.
Interestingly enough, many people believe the tongue is divided into a map of taste
buds, but in the mid-70s we realised this was an old misunderstanding, the whole tongue
can taste different flavours equally • *gasp* Is that a super nova ice cream
*tongue noises* • No, Dolan – not again *
2 – Ashton Ashferno Could other animals evolve into human-like creatures?
• No way, animals are too stupid to evolve into the same intelligence you or I have,
we’re cleverer than they could ever dun be, the idea of a smart cat or a clever bird
is such a incorrect thing to think is true, what a laaaaaugh
• It depends if big brains are necessary for the survival or reproduction of the animal
species, and the answer is likely no – if an ape doesn’t have a big brain, does that
make us more evolved than it?
It actually doesn’t – they evolved to survive in harsh environments, we didn’t,
we just had a crazy brain mutation that lead us down a different road, and it could happen
again to different species 1 – jamgopo What is the biggest known planet
in the universe?
• Well, that would obviously be Melissa’s birdicus maximus— *
• An extrasolar planet known as TrES-4 is about 70 times bigger than Jupiter, and over
700 times bigger than Earth – it’s SO big that astronomers believe the atmosphere
around the planet must escape in a comet-like tail
• * • Love your work by the way, Shima
• Oh, thank you – you too – beating up Dolan is fun but I think science is more
my thing • I’m with ya – hey, we might be able
to have a serious conversation!
• * No “truth”?
• Nope, just researched facts & conjecture • *
