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.

They think sleep is for the weak and they don't wanna be weak OR they know falling asleep in front of a loved one is rude and they don't want to be rude to their loved one

From busting their a*s trying to keep their kids with a roof over their head, food in their bellies, cell phones turned on, etc. Also...cause, even thought they think they are 18, they are not. :)

My dad slept while I was driving with my learners permit. Didn't tell my mom until about 25 years later. She didn't stop telling my brother how to drive or where to turn until she sat in the cockpit of the C141 he flew.

THEY'RE ON HIGH ALERT ALL DAY, THEY CAN TOTALLY RELAX AT HOME, EVEN A 10 MIN. SHORT NAP IS HELPFUL.

When men sit down we slouch and this cuts off the flow of oxygen as we breath so we begin to breath deeper and end up slipping into a natural sleeping rhythm

My dad had his "Chair" Just like Archie Bunker. He would sleep in this chair with a cigarette lit. Thanks god he smoked Moore's, and they would go out on their own if they were not puffed on. I don't even think they make them anymore....

Sleep apnea. Probably not getting good sleep. Snoring all night.

Because he knows it pisses me off. Especially when he snores loudly while I’m trying to watch television.

Because it's comfortable... unlike the bed they have to share with a spouse who seems to be practicing the latest dance craze in their sleep.

Because now that they have time to do what they want, they are to tired to do it.

This is the "at ease" pose that many servicemen are used to. He's relaxed but observant.

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

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.

They are showing self restraint, they know they will accidentally keep any pen they accept

Never! Why do wife and kids always have theirs on silent and miss every message a dad sends?

Secret for you...we hate texting. We are not 13 yr old girls. A 30 second phone conversation can take the place of 20 text messages and misunderstandings.
