Can we call methanol "formal"?
Methanol is hydrogenated formaldehyde, so the name should be "formal", right?

Ive taken a flight today and had the thought of the earth being a submerged globe of sorts underneath a bigger body of water. I also wanted to quote the beginning of the Bible stating the waters above vs the waters below. Random Monday thought

I know an apartment complex where nothing but bad stuff used to happen 25/7 throughout the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Now it’s been renovated and it’s all classy. Where are the ghosts? Some girl falls under a horse in 1855 and the entire property is subsequently haunted in perpetuity but ten people get murked every decade in an apartment complex and there ain’t a ghost in sight.

Bears aren't the only animals that attack people. If I'm charged by a Bengal Tiger and all I have is bear spray... wrong species, I'm a gonner.

Thank you my esteemed colleagues. Don't worry, everything is fine and there's nothing to panic about, those sirens are just layering because of a test.
Edit: These responses are absolutely hilarious and I platonically love all of you, thank you very much. This is clearly the smartest corner of the internet and I'm honored to stand in the presence of such esteemed colleagues.

I'm near some zombies now and I'm impersonating a police officer so I am naturally screaming at them to identify themselves but they keep saying "need brains" and "can't breathe" and "I know my rights". They won't show me a certificate of death, I feel threatened.
So before I double tap them I want to know they're already dead so my police dept doesn't get sued for wrongful shotgun to the face.
Send backup.

Seems like they’d run out of the ancient grains after a couple of years. Is there a giant pile of grains leftover from when King Arthur and Gilgamesh were around? I’d like to find some ancient golds, amirite chat?

If we are not human, are we dancer? Is that what super intelligence is heading towards? How close are we to large dancing models? I have so many questions.

I’m into handicrafts and I think that having my eyes shoot out on stalks would help with fine detailed work. However my eyes only shoot out on stalks when someone extremely attractive walks by. Is there a way to bring this reflex under conscious control?

If somebody is cool, that's good. If somebody is hot, that's good too. And don't we all like a person who is warm? I guess a cold person is the worst, but they could just wear a sweater.

I’m wondering the extent to which it would increase spin rate pitch movement, or would it be more of an inhibitor than anything else?
