Hello 4chan,

anon here.

Everybody knows that OP is a big fag but have you ever wondered...

how can you re-arrange the letters f a g to get another word in the English language?
Protip: You can't.

*pop up on the other half of the text*

Now that's interesting enough, but did you know that if you translate it to German...
there is still no interesting word.

But maybe. Just maybe ... there is a language, where there is such a word.

Well, we'll see next time. Think about it next time you stand at the bus stop!

And as always,

thanks for saging.

Hey 4chan, Anon.
Have you ever wondered why the Jews did 911?
Well if you replace Jews with ✡, you get a 6 pointed figure with six sides. And if you flip the 9 in 911...
6...6...6....
...
*appears from the left*

So If Jews did 911 brings 666 into the fold, why would they be working... with the devil?

That's it for now, just simmer on it while your droppin a deuce.

The reason you can see me is because your screen is emitting light.
Light... like feathers.
What if feathers were actually heavy? Birds would have to carry around all that weight, and they'd drop out of the sky.
Gravity would pull them down. But did you know gravity can also be used to describe situations and emotions?
Let's talk about emotions. Why do we feel things? It's because of how our brain is wired.
Wired... wires. Circuits. Electronics.
Electronics is one of the greatest things in the 21st century.
Electronics works because of electrons. It's in the name.
But what if electrons... were Higgs bosons?

Boards are made out of wood, but the erotic images give me wood.

That's the problem with him. He introduces an idea and then provides no detailed explanation of it because that would involve actual science.

>> No.6439637

>>6439627
Well his viewers are more interested in general facts that the details as to why they occur, like the implications of building a space elevator in one of his videos as opposed to the calculations pertaining to the point where the body is up held by its tension and the nature of tension as a force, etc...
Then again I doubt his viewers go around calling themselves scientists and I'm sure most of them are aware of how ignorant they are RELATIVE to actual scientists.
I would say they are more "aware" though, moreover, he is very entertaining!
I don't get what's their to argue about, he isn't claiming he is giving the viewer a detailed explanation, he doesn't want to, his viewer doesn't care, he's a science communicator for god's sake, just like Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Michio

Does everything mean..anything?
This question seems almost philosophical in nature, but is there a real, definite, scientific answer to this question? Most of us define everything to be the universe, and everything within the universe. Some of us only include concrete things, such as the ground you stand on, or the atoms in your skin, while others include abstract things such as ideas. Some of us even take into account things that haven't happened yet, or have already happened.
But is that really..everything?
Philosophy varies from person to person, but does philosophy matter? Do we matter? At all?
We survive and have children just to perpetuate our species, but why? Why do we care at all about where humanity is going, or where anything is going? Are we approaching a point where these questions become answers and we eventually just die off from not caring? It seems rather depressing to ask, but if we don't questions, how could we know the answer to anything? There's that word again; 'anything'. If you think about it, 'anything' covers a broad range of 'things'. Literally anything. Anything, everything, nothing. How could we assign something to anything, if we don't know everything? This might sound like a Jaden Smith tweet, but it's an interesting concept. We invent things that didn't previously exist, and we think of things that likely won't ever exist. Are those things covered by 'everything'? What do we define as 'things'? Stuff that exists, stuff that doesn't exist yet, stuff that won't ever exist? Stuff covered by 'everything'? It's up to you to define everything and anything. But you can't define everything without anything..so..in a way..anything means everything.
And as always, thanks for watching.

To all their own!
I don't get how one can criticize him as a person though (unless you admit that you too are susceptible to criticism).

What I mean to say is, for example, you probably like listening to music...right?
BUT WHAT IF by listening to music you are not able to appreciate it to the degree someone who is actually able to perform music of that genre would.
Just as you would criticize his viewers, can a music performer not criticize you for being too incompetent to appreciate the beauty of the music in all its glory?
