How can we convince whales to start moving back onto land?

I get why they evolved in the first place and how they were going through a rebellious phase, but it's been 50 million years already. The ocean is meant for fish, not mammals, and it's time to move on.

What's the correct way to measure a hot dog?

16 Upvotes

Say I have a weener and I want to see how long it is (about 6 in. For ref.). Should I measure it base to tip (mushroom shaped in this case) while flacid and uncooked, or boil to firm it up a bit before taking my tape measure to it. Thanks! 🌭

Is my mirror just telling me what I want to hear?

50 Upvotes

A few months ago I found a magic mirror on eBay and thought it would be useful. Every week I ask it" mirror mirror on the wall who's the handsomest of them all?" And it would tell me that I am the handsomest as I thought. But now I suspect that it's not magic but an ai mirror just telling me what I want to hear. How can I know whether it's lying or if I am the handsomest of them all?

Btw I am extremely jealous, and I have been known to send apples from my lab in China to people who may be more handsome. It's kind of petty but I just have to live with it.

It is said "you can't have your cake and eat it too." But there was a cake that was mine, and I just ate it before I knew that. Since that's illegal somehow, how can I escape the police? Also, should I pay a lot for an expensive lawyer so he guarantees I don't go to jail?

I wonder if humans, or animals in general, can instinctively recognize the skeleton of their own species

22 Upvotes

Like, if you showed a human a human skeleton without ever teaching them what a skeleton is, would their brain still somehow register that it belongs to them? And would the same thing happen with other animals? Maybe there's something about the proportions, structure, or overall shape that our brains are naturally wired to recognize. Or maybe we only know because we've learned it.

What is the psychology here. Everytime I find myself closing my eyes while brushing my teeth I feel self conscious and then aroused.
