False Facts (#1) and Would You Rather...? (#3)

I found this "fun fact" on Pinterest:


Figured I'd use this as a "teachable moment" or something. The only way this can be proven is if it's tested over and over again, and obviously, since we haven't been destroyed by a black hole, this has not been successfully tested once. Thus, the most this can be is a hypothesis, not a fact.

Sorry, I'm just super against much of modern science. I feel like, since no one actually bothers to check experiment results (or sometimes even perform experiments), we're reverting back to the age of the ancient Greek philosophers. And I don't have a way to actually vent. Thus, blog teachable moments exploring the comedic fails of science.

And now, "Would You Rather...?"

Would you rather live for 100 years and have 100 friends throughout a majority of your life...

...or would you rather live for 10 years and have 1-3 friends for a majority of your life?

  1. 100 years w 100 friends

    Also, how loud is that? is it even possible to test that? if so... has it been tested? xD

    1. Not surprising, knowing you lol. I'd rather 10 years with 1-3 friends. I've had more than a hundred friends, and I can testify, it gets really exhausting trying to keep up with everything :P

      No idea how loud it is, or if it's possible to be tested. And no, it hasn't been tested, or things would be different. I honestly think if things get loud enough (that loud, maybe, Idk) everything would vibrate so fast that everything explodes, kinda like glass shattering at the right frequency. But again, anything having to do with noise that loud is completely untested, and thus a hypothesis at most, not a fact :/

    2. Haha! Ikr? It somehow works for me, also it does get really exhausting ngl :/

      Huh, interesting... I wonder how they would test that....

  2. This is difficult. Are these true friends? Do I get to see them?

    Probably 100 years with 100 friends. I would've picked 10 years with 1-3 friends, but I realized that when you're ten, relationships are shallower. I enjoy my banter.

    1. Well, yeah, but obviously if you have 100+ friends, they aren't going to all be super close. Time's still a factor :P

      Some of my best friendships were actually formed when I was 5-8. Not all of them, but a good portion of them -shrug-. Plus, mathematically, 100 years / 100 friend = 1 years/friend, whereas 10 years / 3 friends = 3.33 years/friend. More then 3x as much time with each friend :)

    2. wait, you only have one year with each friend?!

    3. Mathematically, yes, although not realistically. My point is you get more time with the friends you have with the other option

      I mean, theoretically, you could spend 10 total days with one friend, and a total of about 30 years with another friend with the other option :/

    4. Why not all at once?

      It sound exhausting, but loosing friends can be tragic

    5. You can't spend time with 100 friends at once. Trust me, I tried interacting with 20 friends at once, and while I could manage about 15, 20 was way too much. And I'm super social and great at multitasking my focus -shrug-

    6. I mean, not at once. You can have different friend circles. I was more of referring to the fact that you can be friends with multiple people at the same time

      Delete
    7. Oh, yeah, you definitely can be; but again, I said mathematically. And I was talking about roughly how much time you'd end up spending with each friend individually. "NOT" realistically, is what I said :) So, yeah, you can be friends with all of them all at once, but how much time you get to spend with them will be different

  3. 10 years with 1-3 friends because short life (nice) and I can have a closer relationship with each friend.

Would You Rather...? (#1)

These "Would You Rathers" are small, but they're meant to start debates. Debates, not arguments! Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"
