Have you been asked these questions before? (Part 1)

Welcome back to the best blog on the internet! Okay, that's a lie, I do not take this seriously enough to consider it relevant in any way. But if you feel like sharing the blog I totally support the decision!

Oh and thanks for all those amazing suggestions for this post... wait a second......

Moving on.

Coming up with a title for a post is harder than coming up with content for the post. In case you were wondering. You probably weren't.

So I came across a couple websites that list oddball questions that no one really ever answers. I will attempt a couple here, today. ARE YOU READY? *Que spongebob theme song*

As a little disclaimer, I have not researched any of these prior to answering and basically will write the first thing that comes to mind. This will get interesting.. I hope. Or you might click away and then me = :(

Jesus Jay you said you would never use a damn emoticon/emoji fuck whatever they're called.

Alright, first one!

"Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?"

Hm, as a chemistry student this should be easy, but as good as school is (lol) at teaching you things, you never really learn things like this, unfortunately. But the answer will be a good opener at a party, depending on the type of people in your circles. They might just laugh at you and turn around, fair warning.

Jay you're procrastinating, also, you're talking to yourself on your blog.. weirdo.

So glue, hmm, well, I want to say that glue reacts to the air much like anything else. This is called oxidation, analogous to rust on iron or the dark grey colour on nickels after many years. So this oxidation will cause it to become the sticky substance we all never use anymore!

10/10!

Next up, "Why is it that when you transport something by car, it is called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it is called cargo?"

Because we humans love to develop language that makes absolutely no sense.

I bet you were expecting some technical explanation. Well, not everything has one!

I need to refrain from using slang that I use around friends because all 14 readers would be so so lost.

One more? "When a cow laughs, does milk come out of its nose?"

Yes.

Alright, that hardly counts.

"Why do they call a building a building when it is already built?"

Same reason as the cargo question. For fuck sakes people, get it together.

"How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?"

Spaceship, obviously.


I think that's enough for today, thanks for reading!
Putting this in is completely useless but if you have ideas for future posts, let me know!

Also, lookout for my new youtube channel: AmmateurGuitarGuy (patent pending), well, it's a maybe, actually it probably won't happen but you never know!

By the way, totally copied the one letter signature at the end from my Dad.

Euroblog Part 7

This series ended up being far longer than I anticipated. I could make an ebook about my travels! Who am I kidding, no one would want to read that... let alone buy it. Also, side note: Polarsteps was so great up until a couple days ago when it went haywire and threw a bunch of phantom travel paths on my map. Support said it has been fixed however, there was no way to remove the phantom lines. This all makes for a ton of work for me to redo all of the travel steps. It's unfortunate but I understand these things happen. Anyway, it's all updated now and working as it should, sorry to my 7000  7 followers for any inconvenience. Now that it's all back to normal, here is the link if you'd like to check out my trip! If you missed any of the series, check it out on my social media feeds or on my blog homepage. The last post is right here! July 22 2017 Wow, am I ever behind on this. [Left off in Florence] So I went up the massive dome of the Florence Cathedral...

"Creative yet Clickbaity Title on Solar Energy!"

In the last post, I talked about what the Sun was. A giant nuclear fusion reactor. And since it is so good at being the Sun, it not only provides heat to our Earth, but also light. Lots of light. Hopefully, this isn't news to you (yikes!). Light is an interesting thing we very much take for granted. Look around, there is light in the room you're in, light coming from the screen you're reading this on (unless you're psycho and still print things..) and light from outside. Even at night! The light from the moon, isn't really light from the moon, but a reflection of light from the Sun. Did I just blow your mind? Probably not.. I guess I'm failing as a writer. There is a lot of light available, and all that light also carries energy, rather, it is energy. In reality, the light from your phone screen doesn't really have the potential to power anything, neither does a light bulb. But think about how many light bulbs it would take to equal the amount of light t...

Let's Talk About Timelines

This was originally going to be solely a discussion on time travel. However, discussing the timeline is a rather good starting point before or while discussing time travel. I've always wanted to write about my thoughts on time and time travel. It is one of those obscure enough topics where anyone can theorize about the generalities of it. But are those theories based in any realm of realism? There are well-respected theorists like Stephen Hawking who have gone into great detail regarding time travel. There are a ton of TV shows and movies which go to great lengths to be as accurate as possible. In our current understanding of physics, time travel is mathematically allowed. But the reality is that we just don't know, yet. Perhaps there is another law of physics we have yet to discover which proves time travel is fundamentally not possible. But it's fun to think about regardless. Let's start simple. If I were to build a time machine right now, would I be able to use i...
