I’ll have a go at this.

“No stupid questions” is something I think is applicable to any attempt at gaining knowledge, insight or perspective. “How big helicopter would you need to hoist an ice cube to the sun to extinguish it?” Though absurd, there might be a disconnect of knowledge, and the question reveals other things which could be explained.

To me, a stupid question would be some kind of rhetoric which doesn’t seek information, but instead attempts to redicule and push own standpoints or beliefs. “Have you gotten over that religious faith yet?” or “Do you realize how dumb your political views are?”. These are examples of ineffective and condescending and will likely just leave the other person with reinforced standpoints in addition to annoyance. I find that to be a stupid approach and thus a stupid question.

I don’t really know, but it’s my gut feeling.

How does graveyards fit into the equation? You could knowingly be just a few meters away from rows of corpses, but not really care.

Does the dirt provide insulation?

As a European, It’s crazy how I’ve started to compare USA to Russia. I mean, Russia is still the baddies by a decent margin, but god damn, that gap could be closing fast in 2025.

Ugh, I really don’t want to feed into conspiracy. I just want to explore the ideas of the conspiracy theories to have better arguments against them. So I wonder, have people talked about that Trump could see it as a win-win either if he got killed or not? If he realizes that he is of old age and wants his ideology passed on to younger generations, becoming some kind of martyr would serve as a boost to his case, and there are many followers of him who would be ready to take his place.

I guess that the problem with disproving conspiracy theories is that once you have a good argument, another crazier theory could easily emerge. I really hope that the investigations lead to some good, hard evidence and that this could be put to rest.

And the pack to the right of it seems to have fallen apart by itself. The packaging is far from perfect, but very creative.

In that case, it’s a one-time use firewood.

I never really liked that stuff, so I believe I never actually made any jello by myself. I really don’t get why it’s popular. It looks unedible and it tastes nothing but sweet. It’s usually accompanied with pusdings or cakes which I would much rather waste some of my calorie budget on.

Fly me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra

Simple, yet very recognizable melody. Easy to whistle, but could also be extended to a whole orchestra with vocals.
