If we don't feel air around us, then do fish think they are floating if they can't feel water?

    Why are math problems on tests so odd? they all be like "If Tommy practices for 2 days to become a wizard, but he is 10 minutes late to the bus which is going at 10 miles per hour, then how many cupkakes can Tommy buy using a human soul? Round to the nearest mass of the sun."

    Why do we have to find out how much fruit our friends have? It is like you made them mad and they only the answer that will make you do algebra. Bill has twice as much as Sue plus three, but Joe has a third a many as Sue - pi so solve that sucker.

    If the afterlife is so wonderful, why do we have to muck about on Earth for 70-odd years? Why can't we just live in the afterlife from the beginning?

    I think it's the same with my kids and their grandparents: on a daily basis the kids tell us that they miss their grandparents and when they've just had a sleepover there they don't want to go home. They think that it's so much fun at the grandparents because they get all the candy and there is so much fun stuff to play with. They look 100% puzzled when I tell them that if they actually lived at grandparents' place it would get as boring and dull as it is at home with mom and dad. And then mom and dad's place would be the best place evaaar. Lol

    For the same reason that all the Star Trek planets had the same degree of gravity and all their inhabitants spoke perfect English.

    Most Star Wars planets don’t have the same gravity. They also have a lot of different atmospheres that have varying amounts of oxygen, and most to nearly all planets in the galaxy aren’t habitable.

    You're spot on there; even the information in our heads isn't instant so everything we experience is technically in the past. Really makes you ponder how to even define what the present is.

    I think Sea Spiders (which are not real spiders but still arachnids) would be a better candidate for wet spiders. Actually, Diving Spiders (spiders that dive in the water to catch dragonfly nymphs, tadpoles, and even tiny fish (e.g. minnows). And also, they have been known to grow to an enormous size and eat all the people who go wading in the water even tho there are multiple signs everywhere telling u not to do that

    1 thing starts it and then it just bottle-necks until the addition of traffic slows enough that it's not noticeable anymore. In my area it's usually caused by rear-end collisions around rush-hour on the highways.

    People changing lanes erratically with no signal causing cars to slow down to avoid collisions and it just compounds.

    sunlight doesnt kill them and only is an inconvenience. The trope of sunlight killing vampires was created for the movie "Nosferatu" bc they made the titular vampire too strong and wanted a way to kill him for the movie.

    oh man I think I had this good one, but Ill start writing a few until I remember it - Life on Earth is soooo amazing. from the 20 nanometer Nanobes to the 10 square-kilometer Honey Fungus. There's so much of it and the way everything has evolved to have a place in its ecosystem is amazing - The water here is too hot but if I turn it down, the pressure will go down bc this shower handle is designed stupidly so that the temperature and water pressure are controlled by the same handle - God should have made me a jellyfish. Jellyfish have no brains. No anguish, fear, sorrow, or hatred. I wouldn't be aware of anything. All I'd do is float around until some Turtle eats me - Giant Squids are real. They seem almost fictional bc they're so rare and are often compared to monsters but they're real. cool! - Are animals aware of the fact that one day they will inevitably die? Im sorry, I couldnt remember the one I was thinking of. If I do, i'll post it in the replies
