It’s what keeps the world from spinning off into spaa—- That’s not it either.Friction… It’s what keeps your shoes from being too slippy, but also, like, just slippy enough?*Sigh* Also, dog bark science. Enjoy!QUESTIONSJulian: "What would a perfectly frictionless surface feel like?" from AdamTrace: "How bad would a dog's bark have to be to be worse than it's bite?" from Grace (In a previous version of the show notes I hadn't updated Grace's question. Sorry Grace! Listener Tracey emailed and caught it. Thanks Tracey for keeping a fellow Trace on the straight and narrow!)Do you have an absurd question?

  • We Ship Acid-Spitting Humans

    We Ship Acid-Spitting Humans
    Nov 7 2024
    Fun fact: the dinosaur in Jurassic Park that spit acid on Nedry doesn’t exist! I mean, Dilophosaurus does, but it was probably a scavenger, not an evil piñata dinosaur. As long as we’re on the subject though, what if humans could shoot acid? What would that look like?And, as long as we’re talking about disemboweling humans … how many of their own internal organs does a person need to keep? How many transplants is humanly possible?Get these and more weird topics in this episode!QUESTIONSJulian: "I'm wondering… what if humans had a defense mechanism like shooting acid? What would that look like?" from AubreyTrace: "Is a human ‘Ship of Theseus’ possible?" from RieseDo you have an absurd question?
