All year around parents tell their children not to take candy from strangers.

You would only need to be able to fold a piece of paper in half 43 times for it to reach the moon. Unfortunately it's impossible to properly fold a piece of paper in half more than 8 timesWhat do you mean by this? I'm legitimately curious - is it basically saying that 2^43 * the thickness of a sheet of paper is the distance between the earth and the moon?

Anyway, something that doesn't make sense to me still is Simpson's Paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_paradox). It's basically saying that you can use the same batch of statistics to actually imply two contradicting things.
Okay so it' actually 48 times but I found a snazzy YouTube video to explain (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AmFMJC45f1Q) for me.
If that's tl;dr basically it's about exponential growth because every time you fold the paper in half it doubles in size so all you have to do is keep multiplying the thickness of a sheet of paper by two until you reach a number the same size as the distance to the moon :)
Sounds a lot like doublespeak if you ask me.No, it's more of an exercise in how statistics can be shaped to say anything we want, and this is probably the most literal example of it.
Something I find weird is that Americans call people in third world counties savage, yet we like to go into the woods, shoot an animal, and then have it stuffed to show to our colleagues as a sort of amusement.Um this is very wildly stereotypical, exactly like Jigglypuff's. Also a small subset of people.

it can transform into a potential mate.
How old do you have to be to qualify for 'death of old age'? Is there a minimum age?I think the term is "natural death" rather than "death of old age" - the latter is colloquial. Otherwise, your heart basically has only so many times it can tick, and once it's done ticking then you die. I've heard a story of a dude's wife who died at the age of 50 from "natural causes" that amounted to that.
You can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed... But can you just be whelmed?young justice says yes

How does Porygonhave sexbreed if it's man made? The technology of the time wasn't that good!
Also, why is there a truck next to the boat in vermilion city?
Vulpix on Cinnabar Island while Surfing is part of the famous easy Level 100 glitch cheat in Red and Blue. Basically the last wild Pokémon you ran into will appear while Surfing on the edge of Cinnabar. You then catch it and let it level up and it instantly becomes level 100. This is one of the few glitch cheats in these games that won't cause any damage.I just got a missingno that went straight from lvl 32 to 100 after gaining less than the exp required to level up on cinnabar.
Get rid of Missingno now! That thing will seriously mess up your game. Only do the wild encounter for infinite items.What will happen if I don't?
you can send out any pokemon into the water
In Makaton, the sign for biscuit is tapping your left elbow with your right hand. Just how is that anything to do with biscuits? At least other Makaton signs make a bit more sense.
If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?
Money is made of paper and paper is made from trees so wouldn't that count as money growing on a tree?
Money is actually made from cotton fibres ;)
Cotton is a type of tree.
Why do Daleks have toilet plungers? Did they even have toilets on Skaro?How do Daleks even take a crap?and why do they have whisks?
If I ever need a toilet unblocked or some biscuits, I'll definitely contact them!
I before e is barely a rule, there are way too many exceptions. As for the u thing, if the sound is "you" then you use "a", if its "uh" then you use "an".
Really though the most important lesson in english grammar is that none of it makes sense and there are no rules.
Uhh, I dont know where youre from,but ive never heard anyone say "an hotel". Even in my head that sounds weird. Maybe thats the correct way of saying it but it sounds stupid so no.
You can back to front, but can you be front to back? No one ever says that!
Also, there's "at the top of your voice" and "at the bottom of your voice" no one ever says "at the middle of your voice"
Never heard bottom of your voice before tho lmaoOh. Well, why is there only "top of you voice" then? XD
And there's overwhelmed and underwhelmed, but is there just whelmed?
Occasionally, you find news reports on websites talking about DR Congo.
I know that DR is the abbreviation of doctor.
So I have to ask, who is this "Doctor Congo" I keep hearing about?
If DR means something else, why don't the news websites just say what it means?
it's long
And yet, people refer to America or the USA as the United States of America, which is also a long name.
Wait a second. Urkel voiced sonic?
And yet, people refer to America or the USA as the United States of America, which is also a long name.Yeah, it's referred to as "the US" more often than not
Sometimes I forget sonic underground was an actual thing and not just a year-long fever dream I had
