Yup thats right. I got questions! Pretty silly ones though. I can't help but wonder the how's? and why's? Of these questions.

Now I'm not sure if this is in the right area so please forgive me if it's not!

As for the questions... Here are a few to start off!




How in god's name do you make a bagel?

I mean like it so round and stuff! Do they make bagels like they make doughnuts? Is there a special machine or technique?

How is tea processed?

How come it doesn't leak out of the little bag things? I mean it's so fine to the touch you'd expect it to just flow out like water!

What is in a hotdog exactly?

I'm not even sure if I really WANT to know but I wonder what you people think!

Why the heck does it look like I'm the adopted kid in photos?!

Ok not really a serious question. I know I'm not adopted but it is strangely odd everyone but me in my family is some shade of blonde with some shade of green eyes while I got dark almost blackish brown hair and creepy changes it's shade blue grey eyes ya know?

How do they put pop in cans?

When you get it from the machine it's already sealed up tight like a crabs behind. So how do they get the liquid in?


Ok I know some of these questions are random and some people will be like 'OMG you don't already know!?' or 'What rock do you live under?!' but it's what my mind is pestering me about and i'd love to know what you think!

It's actually not too hard. You just make the dough as you normally would, and roll the bread indo a circle shape, (or any other, depending on what you want), and bake it. Then you cut it in half, and voila!

I think it's something to do with the material the bag is made of. It's designed to allow water through, but the holes aren't big enough to allow the tea leaves through. Not to mention when you let the tea leaves steep, they unravel and become larger. 3nodding

A hot dog is essentially the excess meat that is deemed "unworthy" of other products like steak, burgers, etc. The casing I'm not 100% sure of, but I know in some countries such as Germany, they used to (and probably still do in some places) use the thin lining of the intestines of a pig, in their sausages. You won't find that in your traditional American sausage though. 3nodding

As for soda (skipping the picture question, because I've never seen a photo of you. xP) I'm going to go with pressure sealing. The cans are prepared, filled with soda, and when filled, a cap is then pressed onto the alluminum ring on the can. (You can kind of get an idea of what I mean by looking at a can of soda. The raised ring on the top of the can is part of the can itself, and the center portion with the pull tab is pressed on)

Today's batch of questions!


((Also thank you to our delightful guild owner Impulsive Button Pusher who not only answered my questions awesomely but has also put me off hotdogs for a while!))

How can sunflowers grow inside if there is no actual direct sunlight?

I'm really wondering! I got this huge sunflower in my room that is just thriving but thing is the sunlight doesn't actually come through my window to often.

Is Sheik from Legend of Zelda a boy or a girl?

I firmly believe Sheik is a girl but in the game Supersmash Bros. Brawl Sheik is depicted as a boy. Make up your minds creators!

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

I mean there is nothing rushing about it! All it is is people playing bumper cars on a narrow lane of pavement risking thier lives for a small 1 or 2 meter movement....

Have you ever imagined a world without hypothetical situations?

The other day my friend asked me, 'hypothetically' of course, what I would do if she was to date my brother. So basically she was telling me she was dating my brother in question form... Right?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of a drive-up ATM?

This always had me baffled. I understand placing it on the keypad so they know what numbers are where but on a DRIVE-up ATM? Why the heck is someone with bad enough vision problems to need braille driving!? And why are ATM makers supporting this!?

Not sure about the sunflower thing, as all most plant life utilize photosynthesis in order to produce the sugar for its growth.

The formula 6 CO∨2 + 6H∨2O → (Light) C∨6H∨12O∨6 + 6O∨2 (∨ indicates the following number is a subscript) means that when 6 carbon dioxide molecules and 6 water molecules react with each other when exposed to light, they produce a sugar molecule, and 6 oxygen gas molecules. 3nodding In order for the sunflower to produce this sugar, it needs light. However much light it needs, depends on how much sugar the plant needs, and if it's even continuing to grow.

Sheik is actually Princess Zelda. You learn this in the 1998 Nintendo 64 game, Ocarina of Time. (one of my personal favorites). She takes this form in order to conceal her identity from Ganondorf. Unfortunately for her, she makes a bad decision at the end of the game, and reveals herself to link, and Ganondorf "sees" it. 3nodding

If I'm not mistaken, it's not necessarily that people get to rush home after work, but rather that is their intention. I could be wrong about this, but that is my best guess.

I haven't actually. I don't tend to ponder such trivial questions myself. sweatdrop

I like to question the ideas of human morality, quantum mechanics, and social ideology more myself.

My best guess on this, and I'm pretty sure I'm spot on, is that ATM's are generic machines, and they're not designed (To a point. Some are designed for malls vs buildings, etc.) for a specific location. They're made, sent to the bank, and they're installed either in the drive through, or the side of the building. Both sets include braille in order to prevent having two assembly processes just to make things more "logical." Doing so would cost companies (a guess) an excess of a few million dollars extra in unneeded expenses.

Well truth be told we don't. For all we know we could just be a computer program designed to go through every possible lifetime. (Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.... Good movie...)

Or we are all in pods sleeping an just dreaming that our lives are the way they are. (The Matrix... Another passable movie)

Though im pretty sure that this (Reality) is real due to one or two things:

Pain. We all at one point or another feel pain, horrible, excruciating, can't bear to live with it anymore pain. It could be from a car accident, a terribly high fall, or even a nasty heartbreak. Pain is always there though, teasing our subconscious and conscious minds, never letting us forget that it (The pain) can swoop down into our lives and royally mess it up, mess us up....

Time. Time never stops. It doesn't favor one person over another, it dishes the same cruel irony to everyone at the exact same time. (SCHOOL nuff said) Time can seem to slow down but its just an illusion of our minds trying to hold onto and grasp one moment it never wants to forget. (which ironically we eventually do) After that little blip of 'slow time' though things seem to go extraordinarily fast as our minds try to catch up with the world around us and thus we end up missing a lot of the small moments our minds usually tend to slow down to catch.

The proof of reality is a hard thing to pitch. Not even the greatest scientists can actually prove that the reality in which we 'apparently' live is actually reality. We all just have to learn and cope for ourselves and come up with our own theories on the subject. Some will go at it with an analytical mind, others a more easy flowing and open one.

So tell me... What is YOUR opinion on the matter of it? (Reality)

As far as your time comment goes, some scientists theorize that we aren't actually going forward in time, but rather backward. I don't know the full details behind it, but it's definitely a mind boggling notion, wouldn't you agree?
