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.

    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

    When I was little and saw many adults not just men write this way I thought it was the coolest thing, my Mum did it, which was most excellent because then it was easier to forge notes to school from her, already had the signature down pat, just needed the all caps writing to give it that authenticity. The one time in 4 years that a note got questioned was one she actually did write lol

    When my daddy taught me to do this, he specified it for any official paperwork (mail forms and the like), explaining that it prevented any confusion from your lower case letters; like whether you wrote a "g" or a "y", for example. However, he did end up writing like that on everything and I feel like it's a habit he can't break that came from years of paperwork he had to fill out when he managed a plane hanger in the Air Force. Perhaps a lot of dads got this habit from being servicemen?

    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.
