What the hell LOL! Stuff we wonder about...

[*Chernaudi]

This isn't really a sciency thing, it's more humor geared thread about things that we see happen that we don't understand or think are strange.  Things that defy logic, our senses, or even what we believe to be defying the laws of physics.

 

These first two things are about stuff that women do.  I'm an admirer of women on many levels.  I don't want to cause offense, but I find women to be more creative and free-spirited than men, they're better listeners IMO, and they're people who I can be myself around more IMO than men.  So I hope that you don't take what I say as slagging off against either women or men.

 

One thing that I've always wondered about is women who wear flip-flops in winter.  I mean, outside in winter, and not just running out side to get something, I mean running errands and stuff like that.  That's never made sense to me. 

 

I've certainly got nothing against women wearing flip-flops when it's warm, or indoors, and I like it when women get pedicures and how they take care of their feet a lot of times, which I consider a feminine trait and a very admirable one IMO.  But what happened to practicality?  Flip-flops and (if they're wearing it) nail polish isn't gonna do crap to defend from the cold.  It's not like they're Renesmee Cullen from the Twilight Saga, where Nessie runs a body temp of 105 degrees or something like that.  Do some women have the ability to generate heat that I as a man fail to understand (lol)?  I don't think so, considering how my mom, for as long as I've known her, has always been cold, and often, when she's cold, I'm sweatin' my ass off!

 

I don't understand flip-flops in winter, and I don't understand why women say that wearing high heels hurts their feet, toes, legs and back, yet they defend their position by saying it makes their legs look longer and makes them look taller.  That's true, but it is worth it?  I like women of all shapes and sizes, and that's one of the beauties IMO of being human.  The variety within the species is something to behold. 

 

Personally, I think that nurses, tomboys, and goth/emo chicks have it right.  They wear flats, boots and sneakers a lot.  And flats can be feminine.  One of my friends from where I worked/will be working at wears flats all the time when she's not wearing sneakers, and she's one of the most feminine women I know. 

 

Again, this stuff doesn't make a ton of sense to me, and this is from a guy who admires most aspects of the female species.

 

Though, to quote George Carlin, stuff like this and other thoughts "have kept me out of the really good schools" LOL!

 

So discuss away about stuff that you see and made you think WTF or laugh because it was weird or not what you expected, or stuff that you don't understand from you logic, and don't be too serious about it.  The important thing here is to have some fun.

 

Also, if a mod wants to move this to science and philosophy because it fits better there, feel free to, though science isn't the main feature of this topic.

What about the kind of people we see who walk into Wal-Mart? Is this good enough for a wth?

[*Chernaudi]

No s*** based on that picture!  Sometimes, in general, I do wonder if where I live is some place where weird crap happens.  For example, part of Mansfield looks like this great, phenomenal place to live, but a few roads over, it looks like an abandoned war zone with all the abandoned factories and vacated homes waiting to get torn down.  All in a very small area of downtown.

 

And yes, I've seen my fair share of WTF stuff at Walmart, but I can find stuff like that about anywhere I go.  Hell, playing Postal 2 is loaded with those moments, but the game's a parody of everyday life and such stuff is intentional.

 

But I'm glad that I live out in the country--things are bizarre enough out here sometimes as it is.  My little brother had an encounter with a bat that came from the ceiling above his bed.  Then he challenged my older brother to "capture the Batman" LOL.

[Guest Jupiter]

Is this one worse?

 

[*Chernaudi]

These pics had better be from Halloween. Because if not, WTF is all I have to say LOL!

One of my WTH things is the Laserlight stuff that Audi and BWM are supposed to have on their road cars in a year and the current versions of the Audi R18 have them. I think that I understand how they work, but at the same time, I sort of don't and I also wonder if that stuff, like LEDs, can be used in flashlights. And if so, how the hell would that work out for us? Laserlights are supposed to be ultra bright (replicating daylight), and what would we do with so much light?

I've seen people dress funny, but I've never seen anyone dress stupid, lol

[*Chernaudi]

One of my friends went to the Walmart dressed as a Greece-Roman goddess, but that was Halloween.

 

Some of the creations on Top Gear have made me go WTH lol

[*Chernaudi]

And here's a what the hell is this:

Under the section 4.22.14, there's the answer:

• yes
• no
• it depends
• that would be an ecumenical matter
• friday at 2pm
• as long as it's not raining
• big and pink with yellow polkadots

 

so in summary, I agree with you on that aspect.

 

But you know what, women have a layer of subcutaneous fat that may protect against wind chill. Also have less fat around internal organs I think, so can get quite cold in certain conditions.

I get very cold at my friends house and he doesn't feel it at all.  Sometimes I think I'm going mad. I do tend to wrap up warm wherever I go. I do prefer to wear boots wherever I can get away with it.

[*Chernaudi]

The flip-flop stuff has always struck me as odd. Women have to get cold like men do. I don't tolerate the cold or hot very well. And as I said, I have no issue at all with it indoors or in warm weather, for reasons I've hinted at, mostly because I see that stuff as a bit of a feminine thing. But IMO it makes no sense to do that in the dead of winter unless a woman wears them indoors.

For example, the sandals that I've seen Shizu wear in Guyver a couple of times. She wears them when it seems warm out, though in the Nov 2012 issue of Guyver, I do have to question the temperature, since Agito was wearing a jacket and Shizu herself was wearing a robe-like device. What time of year was depicted.

It wasn't the middle of winter, granted, but it couldn't have been that warm it seems.

But then again, this whole thing is just what I think about it. And it seems that women do that stuff more than men do.

What about people in public that dress like this? I know I'd be embarrassed if I dressed like that. That doesn't look very comfortable at all.

 

[*Chernaudi]

I'd expect a young woman to dress like that (Natsuki wore a similar outfit in her most recent appearance in the manga), but here, that just looks so creepily out of place.  No offense intended.

[*Jess♥]

I think he looks lovely.

 

 

hey guys remember that there are people in this world with mental disabilities too. the world takes all sorts. they don't always conform to somebody's idea of *normal*

[*Chernaudi]

Sorry if I caused offense, but I'm talking more about people who do stuff like that intentionally, seemingly for no logical reason at all.  They're not disabled, and (hopefully) have all their faculties about them.

 

But people all each have their own idiosyncrasies, and I have plenty.  Kinda reminds me of a Dutch quote that goes along the lines of "be yourself, that's strange enough".  Sums up one of the more positive things about the human race as a whole.  But I'm talking about stuff that people or animals do that defy logic.  Such as for a lighter example, we have a cat that attacks water!  When it comes out of the faucet, this cat swats at it, like it's trying to kill it LOL.

 

And now here's one that's relevant to what's going on here in the US right now and one that can be dangerous, too, if people don't take the right precautions.  Since severe weather is a big thing that's going on in my country right now, what about storm chasers?  I understand the science part of it--trying to understand storms and how they work, and they provide useful early warning information as well--but it's the people who do it for the thrill.  I sort of don't understand that, though, to be fair, I'm not a major thrill seeker. 

 

I guess that it's no different than race drivers, I guess.  Though, from my POV, they do things in vehicles designed with accidents and collisions in mind.  There's only a handful of specially armored and equipped vehicles developed for storm chasing.

I figured the guy dressed like that because he missed the 80's and that he didn't age well with those cloths. He probably looked pretty good in them back in the times. But today, probably needs to go through his closet.

I believe my girlfriend said something along the same lines as I do.

I guess we haven't evolved as much as we'd like to think, considering that video above. What the hell indeed!

 lol, thats true

[Guest Jupiter]

Okay,lol. Take a look at this guy. LOL

 

       

[*Chernaudi]

OK, here's one:  Why do women where high heeled shoes if they complain about them?  An excuse for women to go barefoot (a feminine trait IMO)?  An excuse to get their significant other to play with their feet?  The latter is sometimes used as a form of foreplay?  I've also heard that they make women look taller/their legs look longer.  But I still can't find a reason why women wear them and then complain about that fashion choice.
