Do you have a question that mainstream science refuses to answer? Are your theories and experiments so bizarre that sensible people tell you they will never be published? Do you need help building a doomsday machine, or shopping for a monstrous assistant? Then you've come to the right place! The esteemed panelists at Shitty Ask Science might be the only people who are willing to help you!


RULES OF THE SHITTY SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Dad Jokes and Lame Puns contaminate shitty science. We reserve the right to remove all Dad Jokes and throw them in the pile of hazardous waste behind our laboratory.

THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED AND ARE NO LONGER CONSIDERED SCIENCE. PLEASE DON'T USE THEM.

  1. Farts, poop, pee, and shit.
  2. Basic bitches.
  3. Homosexual Sapiens.
  4. The conversion rate of fuck-tons and shit-loads.
  5. Being what you eat, or a percentage of something.
  6. Fat peoples' interaction with gravity
  7. Genetic jeans.
  8. Space vacuum cleaners.
  9. Speed of heavy and/or dark.
  10. Sharp things that taste like blood.
  11. The fact that heat rises but mountains, the North Pole, and outer space are still cold.
  12. Making planes out of black boxes.
  13. Shaving with Occam's razor.
  14. Energy drink equations.
  15. The well-established relationship between autism and vaccines.
  16. Steel fuel. Jet memes. Steel memes. Steal beams.
  17. God.
  18. Pokemon.
  19. Questioning dead people.
  20. Degrees of murder and other crimes in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
  21. Blurry Japanese genetalia.
  22. ISIS in space.
  23. The deadly youth in Asia.
  24. Solving global warming with air conditioners.
  25. Upside-down Australians, almond milk, gender fluids, and anything else we've seen a million times already.
  26. Asking why meteors land in craters will result in a permanent ban!
  27. Asking what kind of thing is this when it's obviously not that kind of thing at all. And any other grossly willful misinterpretation of an image.
  28. Brand-name product placement. Scientists are on a budget. We can only afford generic products.

Don't message the mods unless you wanna catch a 1-420 day ban.

NO SCREENSHOTS, MEMES, OR MACROS!

Why do you have to refrigerate milk when it's inside a refrigerator but not refigerate milk when its inside a cow?

I mean how long does it take for the milk inside a cow to go bad?

Why don't we fly jet engines in space?

If oxygen in a vacuum is the issue can't we just pump oxygen into jet engines like we do other forms of gas? A rocket engine can use oxygen tanks to just pump the oxygen to it in the burn chamber which is mixed with pump fuel, so it's clearly not a technology issue.

Am I missing something or am I not a Scientologist?

When I drop a glass on the tile floor, it breaks. If I kick it while it's falling (thus doubling or tripling the impact) it "breaks the fall" and it doesn't break.

Buncha hoodoo voodoo nonsense if you ask me.

Oh, this has to be in the form of a question?

How bout this: "Do you feel bad about lying to us about the existence of physics, scienceboy?"

It's difficult to pedal my exercise bike; would I get a better workout if I attached an electric motor to it?

All the treadmills at my local gym have electric motors and those are not nearly as difficult to use.

I was thinking a two horsepower permanent split capacitor motor running on three phase power from a nearby commercial building. I would attach some sort of reciprocating linkage to one pedal of the exercise machine.

Obviously the correct wiring would need to be installed. My plan is to install a proper UL-listed receptacle and extension cord when the owner of the building is on his lunch break.

I used the tanning machine at the imaging ward of the abandoned hospital just outside town but now my hair is falling out. Also, lost 5 wisdom teeth last week. Should I reduce the amount of time in there?

Why do different rocks have different ages?

Saw an article that said scientists found something inside a rock and that rock was estimated to be 500,000 years old. But like, shouldn't all the rocks be the same age since they come from the same earth that is billions of years old?

Flying vs Walking

Let's say i levitate 10 kilometres vertically above the ground and take 10 steps forward then land vertically to the ground. Will i be at the same location if i was just going to walk forward to the same direction?

Will the answer be the same if i was to do the same experiment but this time outside of the globe?
