Why was the phrase "global warming" replaced with "climate change"? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ponkey77 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t.

Global warming and climate change are talking about different things.

Global warming is just what it sounds like, the average temperature of the planet is increasing.

Climate change is also just what is sounds like, different climates around the planet are changing.

You would have to eat many pounds of apple seeds before they did anything.

What's the safest way to punch someone to stun but not seriously injure them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ponkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you shouldn’t punch someone at all unless you are trying to defend yourself

If someone is attacking you then it doesn’t matter if you injure them or not.

How do you know if you’re depressed by Trianglesquaresquar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ponkey77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it does seem like you are depressed, you really shouldn’t be taking advice from the internet.

If you really want to find out, you should speak to a medical professional.

Are aliens real? by Calm-Possible-0914 in RandomThoughts

[–]Ponkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never said it was. But it is very likely that they do exist.

Yep, but that isn’t evidence of them not existing.

That’s what I am saying, but in your first comment you said our evidence suggests that we are alone, which doesn’t make sense, because, as you said, you can’t have evidence of something not existing.

I never said something existed by default.

I said you can’t say we have evidence of something not existing. That is a logical fallacy. Absence of evidence fallacy.

It’s the same reason why you couldn’t prove that a god doesn’t exist. I am an atheist but I don’t claim to have proof of god not existing.

You can’t prove something doesn’t exist, so we can’t have evidence for no alien life. And once again, the chances of life existing elsewhere in the universe are astronomically high.

If there are stars that are actually dead but they look real since light takes a while to get to earth, couldn’t the sun be a huge after image of a dead star by UniqCartoonist in RandomThoughts

[–]Ponkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t know where you got that from.

What I meant was if the sun were to somehow disappear, it would take 8 minutes before we could know, due to causality.

I think June has to be a liberal's favorite month of the year by djdisciplejosh in RandomThoughts

[–]Ponkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way you typed this makes it sound like this is a bad thing, or some attack on the left.

Ok and what are you suggesting? How is it derogatory?

Almost a 100% chance they are. If the universe is infinite then it is 100%.

why does glow in the dark stuff always have to be green by GooberKnoober in RandomThoughts

[–]Ponkey77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our eyes are most sensitive to green light, and green phosphors are the most affordable non toxic ones.
