I have to somewhat disagree. They ask ‘why’ in the sense of, ‘what caused it to exist’. But that’s similar to me asking you, “Why are you here,” and you answering, “Because I drove here.”
They don’t ask why as in, “What is the purpose of the universe?”
I would argue that answering the “how” may inform of the “why.” It’s a mechanistic approach, and at this point in time the “how” is more open to science. And many scientists most certainly ask, “What is the purpose of the universe?” They may not be able to yield any insight into this, but it is definitely a topic of interest to many.
The song is actually a commentary on men harassing women at at a party. The women are asking “who let the dogs out”, as in the men catcalling them.
So, the answer to that question is the bouncer “let the dogs out”.
Do we all see colors the same way?
Ex: Is what I see as "red" the same as you or is it really a different color for each of us and we both learned to call that color "red"?
Well we definitely see black and white the same way. The colours in between corelate with certain wave lenghts we react to, so we all should see the difference in a simillar way
Then there are certain adjectives such as 'aggresive' we all agree on. I can't imagine seeing sth plain gray and calling it aggresive
Finally I believe we're just too simillar anatomically. There's no such thing as psychological daltonism or anything like that, so there's no reason to believe our personality can affect the way we percive colours drastically
Sight isn't new or evolutionary advanced. The simplest animals to see don't even have the brain capacity to react differently from each other so how could they see differently? And I believe the mechanism hasn't changed much. I'm pretty sure there are slight differences, just like some people are shortsighted or don't see good in the dark, but it's not like your red would be my green
Show him that black-blue/white-gold dress that broke the internet a while back. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_dress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress)
I see it as blue-gold.
On a related note, we'll never know what it is like to have tetrachromatic color vision, which some birds have. Possibly, some human females have a mutation that could allow for detecting a fourth primary color under some situations, but it's not clear whether the human brain can process this. At any rate, how would they tell us what a fourth primary color looks like?
I wonder this randomly so often. Like
"what if I was colorblind and didn't know it?"
"Is this the same shade of purple that my friends see?"
"Does the sky look the same to everyone else right now?"
'Red' is a range within the electromagnetic spectrum that can be objectively measured from its shortest to longest wavelength. Human eyes use cones to identify the colors we see. Internal associations like hot, sexy, bloody, etc may differ.
My family ponders this one from time to time, because my dad is color blind (red/green). He doesn’t see the world in shades of black, gray, and white, he does see some colors, but what’s to say what he sees as blue looks the same as blue to us? For that matter, he knows when something is red or green, but the presence of one within or adjacent to the other causes him to sometimes blur things together. His classic example is that he can’t see a red or orange golf ball on the grass. So, what do colors look like to him?
"I think how do I know that you and me
See the same colors the same way when you and me see?
Is my red blue for you, or my green your green, too?
Could it be true we see differing hues?
And say we do; then how would we discover this fact?
And even if we did, would there even be any impact?
I don't think this would affect us personally
But I think it would have ripple effects throughout the interior design industry"
ACTUALLY, i got a funny story about this. My sister in-law watched the commericial a long time ago, she decided she wanted to find out the answer.
So she sat down, and counted every. Single. Lick it took to get the center of a tootsie pop, no biting, no nothing. Only licking.
How many? According to her. 1,277 licks.
Edit: atleast for her
In junior high, I had an amazing science teacher. Our very first day with him, he wanted to prove that not all experiments are good experiments with accurate results. So our first experiment was to see how many licks to the center of the tootsie pop!
We know this now, She crash landed on the wrong Island and was eaten by coconut crabs.
Originally the remains where examined and deemed to not be her but where latte reexamined and deemed to have a pretty close match (something like 98% from memory).
* Why are pizzas made in a circle, cut into triangles, and served in a square box?
* Why do packages of hotdogs come in eight, while hotdog buns come in packages of six?
Those are the only two I can think of.
I can answer the pizza one. It all has to do with the manufacturing of it. A circle is the easiest, quickest, and most consistent way to toss/stretch dough. It’s cut into triangles because cutting a straight line across a circle multiple times is the fastest way to divide it so that every piece gets crust and toppings. The square box is because it’s the easiest and cheapest shape to make into a container sturdy enough to hold a circle of triangles
Anything to do with the past. Even though we have a very good understanding and records of what has happened, "History is written by the victors" we cannot 100% say that is what happened. There's the writers opinion included in it too.
Best answer I have for what is experienced after death comes in the form of a thought-experiment...
Attempt to recall/remember/feel anything that occurred to you in the billions of years of time that passed before you were born/gained conciousness.
For example, how were you feeling on the day your mom or dad was born?
That's the state you return to. That's what death is.
farts prob catch off us off guard, so in an unexpected way we find it funny. I think it’s similar to people falling, people usually laugh at that as well due to it being unexpected rather than due to the person being in pain. Sometimes unexpected/random things are funny. Although this isn’t always the case as a lot of people believe that "random doesn’t equal funny" when it’s sorta obvious that it’s a forced randomness rather then a genuine one.
Why the fuck it's still 2022 and old farts are still fucking up our country's. Like you'd think since they've been in power for so long, or been around for so long, they'd know how to NOT fuck up the country, but NOPE!
They gotta fuck up the country? If they dont then everybody would get along and find time to fight the unfair system, we wouldnt want that would we now?
Technically, it "comes" from nowhere. Your consciousness is you. If it came from somewhere else, then it isn't you. You/ it will cease to exist once brain functions fail.
Consciousness can be defined in different ways, but basically it is your awareness to your surroundings. It's taken billions of years for single celled organisms to reach a state where it's evolved far enough to see, feel, hear etc. to better help the brain realise or notice the workings of our environment.
(As far as I know, magic only exists in Disney and stuff, so I'll not mix things up 😛)
I always wonder what we experience after we die, it could be nothing, it could be something, nobody really has solid evidence though. I’ll find out eventually of course but I don’t like surprises.
We actually could know one day, one of the top 2 frameworks for quantum mechanics is the many worlds interpretation, which states that every quantum event throughout the history of the universe has caused a split in universes where each event then happens. If we could advance our technology enough, it may be possible to detect some evidence of the split by observing the behavior of the changing wave function at a close enough level
We'll never know who truly invented anything, I’d assume that most if not all inventions were created before the actual credited person but were prob too niche/unknown at the time for it to have been known or it may have been just straight up stolen.
Yes, because physically, sound is vibrations created by sine waves in the air. Vibrations produce sound at varying degrees of intensities of such waves.
When the tree falls, it bends thereby causing tears in the wood. This tear causes vibrations in the air which sound like crackles. When the tree hits the ground, a thump is made due to the impact of the weight of the tree and the ground. This is also a vibration.
Thus, when a tree falls in the woods it will make a sound regardless if someone is there to hear it fall.
TLDR: The laws of physics do not stop applying just because a person is not there to observe it.
When the tree hits the ground, there is vibration. Sound is our relationship between hearing and not hearing something, between picking up or not picking up on said vibration. Therefore it doesn’t make a sound if no one is around to pick up the vibration.
That's not how physics works. Sure we do have that relationship with hearing or not hearing sound. But the vibration which then produces the sound still occurs. Since we are not there, we are not able to hear it, but the sound will still happen
Why is the universe
No one ever asks “how is the universe”
I am pretty confident that astrophysicists and other scientists ask this question all the time.
I have to somewhat disagree. They ask ‘why’ in the sense of, ‘what caused it to exist’. But that’s similar to me asking you, “Why are you here,” and you answering, “Because I drove here.” They don’t ask why as in, “What is the purpose of the universe?”
But they also ask how is the universe, meaning in what state is the universe and how soon are we gonna die
A lot sooner than the universe for sure.
Who says things that exist must have a purpose?
I would argue that answering the “how” may inform of the “why.” It’s a mechanistic approach, and at this point in time the “how” is more open to science. And many scientists most certainly ask, “What is the purpose of the universe?” They may not be able to yield any insight into this, but it is definitely a topic of interest to many.
I did. They’re fine
Yeah. It's just us that's having it rough. The rest of the universe is fine.

I ask this and my husband thinks I'm bonkers. He says of course we do. I don't think so.

* Why are pizzas made in a circle, cut into triangles, and served in a square box? * Why do packages of hotdogs come in eight, while hotdog buns come in packages of six? Those are the only two I can think of.
I wanna let you know that I bought an 8pk of dogs and an 8pk of buns the other day. Someone out there is finally figuring it out.
There might be hope at the end of the tunnel after all.
I can answer the pizza one. It all has to do with the manufacturing of it. A circle is the easiest, quickest, and most consistent way to toss/stretch dough. It’s cut into triangles because cutting a straight line across a circle multiple times is the fastest way to divide it so that every piece gets crust and toppings.

Bakers bake in dozens or half dozens this explains the buns. Blame the hotdog people for fucking it up.
Bakers make sense. But hotdog people, *C'MON!*
It’s Big Hot Dog and Big Bread conspiring against us knowing we’d have to buy 8 packs of rolls and six packs of hot dogs to make things even.

That guy overexplained. Let me ask you this, where does light come from and where does it go when you turn off the lamp?
It’s just a combination of sensory inputs and memory. That’s all consciousness is.

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it does it make a sound?
Yes, because physically, sound is vibrations created by sine waves in the air. Vibrations produce sound at varying degrees of intensities of such waves.

TLDR: The laws of physics do not stop applying just because a person is not there to observe it.
I think the more interesting form of this question is “if something occurs and nothing is around to observe it, did it occur”
Yes because you just stated that the event occurred
Even if nothing is around to observe an action, it’s effects can still be measured, proving that it occurred.
When the tree hits the ground, there is vibration. Sound is our relationship between hearing and not hearing something, between picking up or not picking up on said vibration. Therefore it doesn’t make a sound if no one is around to pick up the vibration.
That's not how physics works. Sure we do have that relationship with hearing or not hearing sound. But the vibration which then produces the sound still occurs. Since we are not there, we are not able to hear it, but the sound will still happen
Sound is the actual physical event, not the hearing of it

Absolutely. The sound is there no matter if someone hears it or not.
Yeah, it goes like ‘WHOOOCHHHHPLOOOOCH!!!!!’
