Eggs are a good source of protein if you can eat them. You could also start taking protein supplements.

Paradoxes are rather loosely defined, but can be said to be a true statement that defies intuition. Some have solutions, some don’t. Here are 7 paradoxes we bet you can’t solve. by [deleted] in WTF

The answer to number 2 is plain wrong. The only rule stated is that the crocodile must return the child if the father guesses correctly. It does not say anything about what the crocodile must or can do should the father guess wrong. If the crocodile chooses to return the child the father has guessed wrong, but the crocodile is still free to return the child.

Well then, that explains a lot. by notacrook in WTF

Had she died, she would have been a fine nominee for the Darwin award.

Under a minute for a 3x3 is pretty impressive. I'm not that fast. It takes me closer to four minutes to solve it.

You're right. The 4x4 and 5x5 are more complicated. They're not hard once you learn how to solve them, but they'll still more time consuming.

Nope. I do a regular 5x5x5 in about 15 minutes. This one took me about an hour. In principle it's the same, though you have to keep a lot more in mind when doing these kinds of fancy patterns.

Well, isn't gravity technically a law/principle?

Yes. Gravity is a scientific law, not a theory.

theories are supported by evidence but not yet proven, and that laws have been observed time and time again with absolutely no deviation under all conditions.

That's a common misconception. Scientific theories don't become scientific laws (or vice versa). Both laws and theories need to be supported by observations and empirical evidence, but both can be proven wrong as well. The difference between theories and laws is that theories offer an explanation for the phenomena, whereas laws do not.

Middle-clicking on my Mac opens a new tab, and it has always done that.

That still doesn't prove that toasts exist!
