I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?

Are you....my brains?
Brains pop when you squeeze them, when you turn your eye to look at them, you'll probaly pop too.
Brains tell guys when they have to pee, brains tell girls to comb their hair.
Your brains make you able to see the white in the polarbear, brains make you cry when you have to cry. Etc, etc, etc

I dont know or this one is guesed yet (didnt feel like checking all those posts) but I felt like guesing anyway.

nice try but.. should i put the answer in?

itll be in spoilers... but look if you cant guess.

*Note: 92% Harvard Graduates couldn't solve it yet 84% of kindergardeners could solve it in 6 minutes or less. That could be a clue depending on how you look at it.

If you give up, here is the answer:

NO. The answer is "no". Why? Look at the last line: Can you guess the riddle? You can't so the answer is no. 92% of Harvard graduates and some others kept making hard answers like pressure or something, but kindergardeners spent some time on it, and answered with the truth, "No". :D

But he's right. If you want to get technical, you can "guess" the riddle.

I solved it, the answer isn't really no. No means you gave up, however I did solve it. I guessed.

However if you wanted a logical answer it would be matter, cells, atoms, etc.

Yeah, the only answer is, "No." There is nothing in existance that makes all of those things happen by itself.

I can do all of those things. :D

lol yeah the answer is "NO". (with the exception of Seb)

don't try to fit things in one a time when it doesn't make sense and you are trynig hard for answer. Instead, try to figure out why the real asnwer is the answer.
...:D

Here are some riddles for fun since I already submitted one:
4 men were on a boat in a lake (WITH WATER!). The boat tipped over and the 4 men fell in yet not a single man was wet. Why is this?
What's 1+1? 1X1? 1-1? so 1 divided (wheres the divide symbol) by 1 is?
I'll give answers later.

The boat was already tipped over, but then it tipped over (therefore it was set up the right way) so the men could get it.

1

and to express 1 divided by 1 your would do 1/1=1

The riddle says that the 4 men fell into the water. They wouldnt fall into the water if they were in a upsidedown boat wich tipped over the right way. Besides, if the 4 men were already in the water, they would still be wet.


1/1=1, sound logical. But my gues is that 1/1=?.

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
