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!

Tariff Consequences

I understand with all the tariffing going on, business will be charging a lot more than they used to. With all the extra charging, are we at risk of running out of electrons?

Related question: How can I grow homestead electrons so I can have a reliable, locally sourced supply?

If two Ameri*cants* are working on a project, do they turn into one Ameri*can* or do they stay separate and stay as two Ameri*cans*?

Similarly, if one Mexicant becomes an American citizen, do they turn into a Mexican American?

Why is the moon so emotional as a thing?

I mean, it keeps changing its phase every night and sometimes will be in the east before sunrise as a thin crescent, and other times, will be a full circle out all night.

If a pinhole camera works because of gravitational lensing, can we use pinhole cameras to create a wormhole/time machine?

I know we can already see past events that were recorded with cameras, but what if we could take it even further?

Since the moon causes tides, does that mean that spacetime gets more distorted for water?

Everything is supposed to fall at the same rate, because it's actually distorted spacetime that causes gravity, but water seems to fall toward the moon faster than the ground does. What's up with that?

Since orbit is freefall, does that mean that the tides are actually caused by thermal expansion from sunlight?

If we ignore the fact that the timing of the tides lines up with the phase of the moon (that's probably just a coincidence) wouldn't it make more sense to say that the tides are caused by thermal expansion from sunlight?

A little known fact is that sultanas are dried grapes. So when wine is described as being “dry”, is that because they made it using sultanas?

And what type of fruit is used to make fortified wine?

If one was to avoid ever lying down on a bed, thus avoid being on their death bed, would they live forever? Nobody has ever been described as being on their death hammock!

I may have just discovered the key to immortality.
