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

    Perfectly Reasoned. I do this, and my father before me. Probably his father, too. Except we make our hands into a cone-like shape (imagine holding a microphone or that "cover my cough" hand) and pop the peanuts that way.

    My dad eats peanuts out of the jar while watching TV. Then he shakes the jar to "fluff up" the peanuts to make it look like he hasn't eaten very many. He does that so my mom won't fuss at him for eating so many peanuts!

    Yes... so bizarre. I think my dad just likes the sound because he'll also take change out of his pockets & shake it. In fact, most things in his pockets get jingled in his hand before he does something with whatever it is.

    If you shake something like that -nuts, candy etc.- the big ones are coming to the top while the small ones get to the bottom. OR they just want to ix it up a bit.

    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.
