People Are Sharing The Things That Dads Do But Nobody Knows Why, And They’re Spot-On (30 Tweets)
There are many things we humans still haven't figured out. Like, what came before the big bang, will AI eventually overtake us, and why do all dads grunt when they sit down. Or why they take grilling so seriously. In fact, there are probably more mysteries about dads than the universe. To try and get to the bottom of them, people have started Tweeting them, and the questions perfectly describe every dad in the history of dadness. The sad part, however, is that even with all that attention, most of them remain unanswered. Science is one way we make sense of the world around us, but it appears that even rationality can't explain everything.

Because they do not want some fancy s**t. They ask what they need.
Well I'm not a dad but I do take grilling or any kind of meat cooking seriously. I mean the animal had to die so you can eat it, the least you can do to respect that, is being really focused on making it really delicious :D
I never thought about meat that way, but that is a quite reasonable, deep concept.

A lot of people think they have better skills than they actually do. There’s a few people with shows I will actually trust.
Because he don't want anyone having stomachache for eating under-cooked food, duh...
Because if you allow disrespect, the whole power structure crumbles and the family is left without a house-band.
Because no one likes raw/ overcooked meat. You need to get it just right.
My dad built a very ugly and badly functioning grill and he also can't cook. So everytime I visit my parents at summer my dad grills some sausages that are half burned, half cold and taste like the charcoal lighter fluid. :D So there has to be some sort of 'magic' why most dads needs to grill.
feeding our families is one of the most important things in our lives and we really want you to enjoy it.
So they don’t have the women asking them to do stuff and the grilling areas hotand the kids and women know this, and don’t go over there!
It is our respect to death. Something had to die to feed us, we should take it seriously.
Because we don't like eating dried out charcoal briquettes of a steak?
because they don't want their family to get food poisoning from uncooked food?
Because it is a typical dad thing, so they might feel that if they fail, they would also fail at being a dad.
The simple answer to that is "because they are dads" which means they have children. Children are very choosy about their food, so it has to be cooked perfectly and responsibly. Also, most wives won't be bothered to get themselves and their clothes and hair smoked, so it becomes the dad's job to fulfill. And finally it's an activity that calms you, let's you drink along with the cooking and makes you feel a family hero afterwards. Guess someone has to become a dad to understand that.
Grilling is serious business in my husband's family. They consider it disrespectful to the cook and the meat if you put any kind of sauce on your grilled steak. To my husband's and FIL's credit, they are very good BBQers though!
Dumb question. Answer - Easier to get out, easier to load/ unload the trunk when it isn't facing traffic, Dads don't see it as a special showy thing, just an obvious thing to do.
The mirrors and seat clearly need to be adjusted, because the car is so badly parked they need to move it.

Dad joke: What do you call an elephant that doesn't matter? An irrelephant
What do you call a cross between an elephant and a rhino? EllifIknow! (you may have to say it out loud to get it).

The transition is a slow one...my husband has been a dad for three years now, he is between the "yello" and "will fall asleep as soon as he touches a sofa" stages....he hasn't morphed into the "free mints" or "loud sneeze" stages just yet...but I know its coming!
Load More Replies...This post was great JUST because of the quick witted comebacks everyone posted underneath them. Well played everyone.
I don 't know about all of these but I miss my dad so much :(
I love how this entire post's comments were dads justifying why they did said stuff 😂
Some of these are really fun, but some are just being stereotypical, or don't make sense.
I wish they would stop shortening the posts! Some of the ones they deleted were pretty funny!

Wow, L. W., daddy issues or what? This was supposed to be a humorous thread.
There are some really dumb questions in this thread.. why do kids always ask dumb questions instead of thinking?
Why did people feel obligated to provide answers? I was hoping for funny examples/experiences but instead got smart alecks
so i am a dad of 2 girls and i just read all of these tweets and i dont do any of them at all..none of them. Does that make me weird?
I enjoyed reading the comments on BP to the postings much more than the postings themselves!
Feel more like why are those people asking stupid questions about very relevant things dads do...
