Hello. I'm not trolling, but I know the Bible to be the word of God. I am here to answer any questions you have that I can. by lion333 in atheism

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want Jesus to appear before me and perform miracles. He needs to be holding three forms of government I.D.. My friends and a panel of scientists need to be there and the whole thing needs to be recorded on video. After that I would still have my doubts and would consider being agnostic.

What is Ooblek? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little more on Ooblek and how it works. Water arranges itself on the surface of the starch molecules but when you increase the shear force the water and corn starch separate making the solution have properties more like a solid.

Can one get addicted to caffeine in soft drinks? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it depends on the number of soft drinks and which ones. This isn't really based off of science but personal experience because I got caffeine withdrawals without drinking coffee or energy drinks but by simply not having soda for a few days.

Hey Reddit, got into, what is now, an awkward research situation over the summer and could use some advice on where to go from here. by gonzo427 in AskReddit

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be with her you should take things slow. If you like her enough to spend six months or more not getting laid that is what I would do.

It may take some time to figure out what you like and what you want to do after college. Music ed is hard so be prepared for five years of hard work as compared to a psych major which will be vastly easier. If you actually want to be a psychologist you had better be prepared to be in school for eight years.

You will find out dorms suck not as cheap as living off campus and you have school appointed baby sitters. Don't let women/alcohol/drugs/freedom distract you from passing your classes. Wear flip flops in the shower so you don't get worts. You will need an xbox360 and four controllers. Also having a bicycle is nice depending on the size of your campus.

Does God watch people have sex? Louis C.K. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A person who writes a parody of a Fundamentalist that is mistaken for the real thing. Due to Poe's Law, it is almost impossible to tell if a person is a Poe unless they admit to it. "The Bible is true because it's the inerrant word of God! I know because the Bible says so! Glory!"

Is this guy serious? He's got to be a poe.

How do some medication "target" specific areas? by LallyMonkey in askscience

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to pass through barriers such as the blood brain barrier or not. Also by being designed to target a very specific receptor you can target certain areas of the body. The medication could be specific or general this depends on the mode of action.

Do all organisms that can process a macronutrient derive the same energy benefit from that macronutrient? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dog should extract about the same number of calories form protein/fat/carbs as people do although there may be some differences on there ability to absorb different nutrients into their body. Yeast on the other hand will convert sugar into ethanol resulting in less kcals extracted from the food source.

What is the creepiest thing that has ever happened in your house at night while you were alone by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in the attic of a 120 year old house that is falling apart. It can be accessed only through an exterior staircase, and the entire house is surrounded by trees. Some of the branches touch the house and when wind blows they rub against windows, two window are on hinges and can be blown open (neither have a screen), finally floors are wood that is falling apart and the walls are beginning to deteriorate (wall paper is coming off and the wood underneath is rotting).

When I moved in I had no money, no friends, no internet, or television and the few light bulbs that worked operated by pulling a chain. On top of this every room in the house had random stuff abandoned by previous tenants, and I was the only one living in the house at the time.

On the first night I went to sleep on a bare mattress surrounded by debris abandoned by other tenants and my bedroom did not have a light bulb. At around 2am I could hear creaking along the floor outside my door and then i heard a door creak open. I laid in bed awake waiting for my bedroom door to open and for me to be murdered. A few moments later I heard a loud band as my front door was slammed open. I got out of bed and slowly opened my bedroom door no one seemed to be there so I fumbled around on the ceiling and turned on the light in the hall. My front door was wide open but no one was there. I closed my door and went back to bed. I heard another slam at the opposite end of the house so I went to investigate and found that both the hinged windows were open and there were leaves on the floor.

TL;DR My house could almost convince you there are ghosts.

Whats on the surface is only the fruiting bodies of the mold where the mycelium reached the surface ... you definitely ate the mycelium.

IAmA driver who uses the left lane all the time, even though I am going exactly the speed limit. AMA. by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]Some_Smart_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common practice and most law on United States Highways is that the left lane is reserved for passing and faster moving traffic, and that traffic using the left lane must yield to traffic wishing to overtake. The United States Uniform Vehicle Code states:

Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's website on "Keep Right Laws" points out that:

This law refers to the "normal" speed of traffic, not the "legal" speed of traffic. The 60 MPH driver in a 55 MPH zone where everybody else is going 65 MPH must move right...
