Oh dear. Every day I have to remind myself some people really are that dumb

NTA.

This is one of those "bible is good enough for me" soccer moms, guaranteed.

It's not just a British thing tho??

That was unbearable.

your is an adjective ... *facepalm*

Oh dear.

Happy satan impregnating his bride day!!

Sand witch? Sounds like a cool superpower

Catholic converter /s

This kind of person would rather carry a ton of feathers than ten kilograms of iron.

yeah and that's why we explored so much of antarctica back then... wait no we didn't..

why did that never occur to me though... the BEATles

It always reminds me of the legend of the inventor of the game of chess who just asked for a grain of wheat on one square, then two on the next, four on the next, etc.

ok so i did calculations (correct me if im wrong) but folding a paper 42 times theoretically means it is equivalent to 4.3980465e+12 (idk what number that is) pieces of paper stacked on top of each other. The average stack of copy paper sold consists of 500 pieces, equaling 1.875 inches in height. If you divide 4.3980465e+12 by 500 to get the number of stacks of paper, you get 8796093022.21 stacks. If you multiply this by 1.875 for the height of the stacks you get 16492674416.6 inches. this is equivalent to 260301.048242 miles (418913.9301819732 km). the moon is 238,900 miles (384472.282 km) away from earth. This theory has just been proven, your welcome. again i may be wrong but im only 14

2^42 * 0.01cm = 439,804.6511 km

They tried this on Mythbusters

fold paper once =2 fold it again =4 again =8 so it's not 42 sheets of paper. it will workout to 4,398,046,511,104 sheets of paper , wont get you to the moon, but you may find it difficult to breath if you stand on top.

I honestly don't get how folded paper can reach the moon. Doesn't paper get smaller when folded? Correct me if I'm wrong I don't get this kind of stuff😭

An average piece of paper is roughly speaking, about 0.1mm thick. Whilst it's not physically possible to fold it in half more than about 7 or 8 times (try it yourself with a sheet of paper, results may vary with paper make-up!!!), let's pretend that this is possible. See the attached EXCEL snapshot to see how few times you need to fold the paper to reach the moon.... EXCEL_zFFS...ba3209.png

The only thing I'd say in Red's defense is that Blue didn't specify fold *in half*.

In 2001, high school student Britney Gallivan of Pomona, California, successfully managed to fold a paper in half 12 times by using a roll of long, thin specialty toilet paper that was 1.2 kilometers in length. The resulting 'pile' of paper did not reach to around a third of the distance to the Moon.

Come on, this one clearly is a joke

Queue the idiots who don't know what cues are.

you should probably repeat the year

Guess who's never shaking hands with someone ever :)

Sents! Imbessiles. 😉

But even if you're skinny your weight is still distributed fairly evenly around your body

You just know that last guy is thinking of Mac n cheese 😆

i guess it was a joke (probably bodyshaming someone)

Except we'd still have to do a leapyear but with four extra days.

Abracadabra is the term used in many european countries. It's origin is "adhadda kedhabhra", from aramean langage, meaning "destroy this thing". And if this reminds you of another magic formula in some books and movies, that's not a coincidence.

this is why they're called boredgames.

I like the fact how I started thinking about what was the real intention - mercilessly or unmercilessly, rather than questioning the reason of the beating. It's like politics, you get distracted do easily from the main subject. 🥴

Dumb fűck probably doesn't even know it's the symbol for the Euro.

Which is correct sulphur or sulfur? Sulfur has been the preferred spelling of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) since 1990, and is the default form employed by many scientific journals 1. The alternative spelling sulphur may still be found in common use in the UK and Commonwealth, especially by laypeople.Mar 15, 2019

Idiot, if only you actually understood what a light year is

four is germanic. Colour is latin. The "u" was artificially introduced to make consistency with french spelling (french descends from latin). Original old english for four was "feower".

I use these differently even though we supposedly use UK english here. I use mold for the fungus and mould for shaping-something (verb or noun). I do the same with disc/disk and program/programme. I use disc = a circle, disk = a computer disk; and program = verb, to make a computer do something; programme = series of in-person/person-attended events , e.g. wedding programme.

This one shouldn't be here. It's simply the difference between British English and American English. Both are correct ,it simply depends on which English you use.

Betelgeuse is also the name of a star... still pronounced like Beetlejuice.

Salty voters are loose on the streets!

This is so pointless I can't-

Kung fool

*documentary ;-)

But these are Pokémon, so it doesn’t matter… 🤣

“Spelling and Grammar” would be replaced by the pronoun they, meaning are is perfectly valid.
