I just was thinking and I realized that there are a lot of questions that cannot be answered. I decided to make my first post about unanswerable questions.
Where did I get this idea? In the shower, of course.
One example of an unanswerable question is: Do prison buses have emergency exits?
Be sure to post your own unanswerable questions down below!

When did time begin?
If you punch yourself and it hurts, are you weak or are you strong?
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
Are we living or slowly dying?
If a baby’s head pops out of its mother at 11:59 PM, and the butt comes out at 12:01 AM, what day will the baby be declared to be born on?
Why is Goofy considered a person and Pluto considered a pet when they’re both dogs?
Is your answer to this question ‘no’?
If a cyclops were to close its eye, is it winking or blinking?
Do you consider eyebrows facial hair?
If you had a dream that none of your dreams would come true, and you woke up and had none of your real-life dreams come true, would that be a dream come true?
If you hate haters, does that make you a hater and will you hate yourself?
What would happen if Pinocchio said ‘My nose will grow now’?
If Cinderella’s shoe fit her perfectly, then why did it fall off?

Your brain just switch when he want to. I'm french and far from bilingual but sometimes a word come in german or english because it's more short or because my brain just picked this word over the french one. It happens a lot with the word horse with my brain "cheval" in french and "Pferd" in german (second language), i always think "Pferd" when i see one. If i'm in another country i began to think in the language, even with mistakes but my brain just switch.

When did time begin? Did we invent math or did we discover it? Where does a thought go when it’s forgotten? Do we have free will or is everything predestined? Is there life after death? Is it really possible to experience anything objectively? What are dreams? What is the goal of humanity? How long will you be remembered after the day that you die? Which orange came first – the fruit or the color? What is ‘god’? Who decided what’s right and wrong? What is the purpose of setting goals if we all die anyway? What is freedom and does it really exist? Which came first – the chicken or the egg? What makes you, you? At what age should a person be considered old enough to die of old age? How do you know you’re not crazy and just hallucinating your whole life? To what degree have you been able to control the course that your life has taken? Is the Earth alive? Is it possible to know what is truly good and what is evil? If we learn and improve from our mistakes, why are we so afraid to make mistakes?
Do you ever really do anything out of your own conscious choice, or are we always controlled by some external stimulation or motive?
Why are you here at this very moment in your life? Did you arrive at this point in your life because you willed it or because you were destined to be here? Are soul mates a real thing? If we need to follow rules at all costs, then why do we make exceptions to these rules? Is there an end to the universe, or does it just keep going? What is the purpose and meaning of time? Do our human accomplishments have a long-term, universal significance, or when the world ends, do we all end with it, including what we’ve achieved?
Why do people have to die? Why does anything exist? Is the government putting chemicals in our air that is so-called 'oxygen' that was supposed to keep us alive but instead is killing us VERY slowly?

Oscar loves his trash, so they don't pick his up. Stuff that matters obv. Fire is a plasma. By God. For reflection or for fun. No. Yes. A little toot. A conscience, brain, love and thumbs. Inside a black hole... not much, maybe some swirling. No we aren't alone. Well if gray matter is the brain, dark matter would be... Cookies bake because they need to rise, bacon is cooked so people can smell it better. YUM .Tech bac is fried. Soap- its skin. Because evaporated milk has just less water. Thats it. If you try to fail and succeed than you failed. So you had succeeded in failing. Yes can cry under water. Interstate in Hawaii to protect the usa. And make it easier to get supplies back and forth 2military. On strike! (Last sign til return) Speed is same for light and dark. Unless it was practiced that way, No swimmer would only die. Sponges do take up space so in that aspect yes. Legally no. But logically probably. Some Sucker So Special - that he didn't have a lisp. Take snowplow home all time

What happened to the fish during Noah's flood? If it rained enough for the seas to fill so much, then the salinity would be diluted enough to kill all marine fish and most other marine life. When the seas rose enough to meet the lakes, all the freshwater fish would have died from the increased salinity.

A Driver's License is a form of Government Photo Identification. It is used to prove you are who you say you are, are the age you say you are, and is a legal government document. Most people in tbe U.S. do not have other forms of Government issued identification, like Passports. Also most POS systems have a built in function to scan your ID and get verification it's valid. Technically you can buy alcohol with a photo State I.D., Passport, or Military I.D. that's it. As all of those are official government issued photo ID's they work.

Depends. If you go by accounts of those who have spotted them then there's three distinct groups, the lizard men, the grays and the third one I can never remember but kind of look like the grays a bit. However anything not of this Earth is alen and it would really depend on what their plants are like. Most artists, writers, etc make them bipedal because we only know ourselves. They might exaggerate or enhance characteristics to make them 'unique'. Star Wars would actually give you a really good idea on what Aliens can be despite the fact that they really have a lot of bipeds too.

The Earth is made of rocks, magma, & other minerals. It is not a cat. Other planets are definitely not cats either if you would do a little astronomy research. You are free to believe whatever you like so long as it doesn't conflict with established science & spread false information. Believers in multiverse theory would say with an infinite number of universes there's bound to be one like you described, but even if there was it would have 0 impact on human lives & there would be no way to know for sure whether it exists or not.

One hypothesis is that there are many similar universes and the interaction of them is what sparked the big bang. They may have an observable gravitational effect as our universe expands towards them. Another hypotheses states that although there are many universes, and potentially new ones created all the time, they can never interact because the space between them is expanding faster than than can move towards each other. I can only shrug and hope they come to some kind of consensus eventually.
