Allow me to be one of the first TH-camrs to put this to bed right now: despite a glut of comments across all videos, I will sadly NOT be accepting the currently vacant role of Waffle House host 💀I bloody wish tho
I really like the mental image of a teacher surreptitiously collecting DNA from each student in their class and sequencing each individual genome, all to arrange their seating chart based on genetic similarity.
When I was around 5, my parents came up and asked me "would you prefer a little brother or a little sister?" and I remember as clearly as though it were yesterday that I replied "I want a Mcdonalds cheese burger"
I had a teacher that once said in the beginning of the school year, "There are stupid questions. But you should ask them anyway, otherwise you'll never learn." Which I thought was much better than saying there are no stupid questions.
A girl in my history class asked the teacher “this is a stupid question, but do pigs have hearts?” Then five minutes later, she asked “this is also a stupid question, but do pigs have toes?” We were learning about the transatlantic slave trade.
The "will the test be graded on correctness" girl had a point. Some systems (such as IB) grade tests not _entirely_ on correctness. They also grade based on effort. Meaning you won't ace your classes if all you do is just half ass everything, even if you do it right.
Most non-multiple-choice tests want you to elaborate on your answer and show the steps you took to reach the end result. Thus "correctness" would be the end result, and "effort" would be the process. Both are important, as it would be dumb to lose full marks for messing up at the very last row, and someone else getting full marks by simply guessing the answer (sometimes intuitively happening in maths).
I remember some tests for lab calculations and math also gave you points for writing the right formula even if you didnt write the (correct) answer. You would also not get any points if you didnt write the unit after the number even if it was the correct answer.
@@MissxLariz Yes, I've had these too. If you didn't show your work (with the correct answer), you would only get partial credit. If you showed your work, and you were using the correct steps, but maybe copied the wrong number at one point and got the wrong answer, you could get partial credit.
It’s math tho. No matter how much effort you put in it, if your math is wrong, you should fail. Math doesn’t care about effort or feelings, it only cares about being correct.
I had one, we were 15/16, after our female classmates shared how police officers had harassed them before, say "But... Aren't policemen the good guys?"
Once in freshman biology a girl wanted to ask if our teacher believed in evolution and she decided the best way to phrase the question was "Mrs. Ross, do you believe in monkeys?"
Haha, that stuff happens though. My sister has a great record of saying things in such a weird way that it becomes absurdistic almost. We had dinner once and my dad had marinated some chicken, and I'm not sure why, but my sister apparently wanted to ask if he had made the marinade himself... but she asked instead: "Have you made this marmelade yourself?" And for some reason, she used the formal word for 'you' in our language, when we literally never use that for our parents, as if she was talking to a complete stranger xD
while discussing writing direction in class I asked "What about the people who speak Hebrew... the Hebrewians?" while sitting next to my best friend who was Jewish.
Was in class one day and one girl asked "How can we breathe in this building? There are no plants in here!" and I cannot tell you how disappointed I am.
You should've told her there were plants in the walls, and that the janitors had to go in and water them daily or else everyone in the building could suffocate
In sex ed in 8th grade, we were talking about STDs and STIs and one dude in my class asked why people don't just wear full body condoms. Another time, this same exact kid genuinely proposed putting bear traps into vaginas to prevent sexual assault smh
With regards to the bear traps, there is actually historical evidence for something called a “vagina dentata” which while not a bear trap in design, would make you regret putting your willy in there while it was installed.
I have so many stupid things said to me. My half-sister (she’s older than me) thought giraffes lived in the Caribbean. She did NOT say any of the islands, she thought the ACTUAL Caribbean. She insisted on that and, when I proved her wrong, she said, “well it could have been worse. At least I didn’t think Sloths lived in the Caribbean.” And then she walked face first into a see-through pull door. A girl I used to know thought that you bleached raw chicken to clean it, then microwaved it to cook it. She also thought India was in Africa. Same girl asked whether jalapeños or Filipinos went on pizza (the answer she got was “either if you try hard enough.”)
One time, a girl in my Spanish class excitedly burst into the classroom asking “Did you know flies have six legs?” I just kind of looked at her and said “Yeah, all insects do.” Turns out this was news to her. She had thought insects were quadrupeds. The news that spiders and other arachnids had eight legs was even more of a shock. Also, one time I had to explain to a 23-year-old woman who spoke English as her first language and was in fact majoring in English in college what a pronoun was.
Reminds me of the girl who asked me for help answering the question of if English was her first language. I asked her if she spoke any other languages. She did not. This was a college student.
@@tsifirakiehl4250 If it makes you feel any better, I had to explain to a 22 year old college student how fractions worked. As part of the lead-up to explaining how percentages worked.
Asking them just shouldn't be stigmatized, because if you legitimately don't have crucial information that everyone else does, then it's important to get it and look less stupid later. That's the main point of people saying "there's no such thing as a stupid question," they just want you to _ask_ the stupid question.
The "would we like go back in time" girl was smarter than people realise, she just had a misunderstanding of how time dialation works, but things being heavier or lighter effecting the flow of time is actually a thing that happens
And with newer theories that imply that black holes literally make time and space replace each other, which means travelling to singularity becomes one's future once this object passed event horizon, the girl isn't completely wrong, but the time on the outside would travel you to the future instead.
A girl in 5th grade biology asked how people could have more that two children. She explained that if kids recieve half of the parents' DNA, that means the parents would die if they "used up all of their genes". In 7th grade chemistry, a student thought that if you crumpled up a piece of paper, it wouldn't be recyclable. I think they thought this because teachers always told us to never crumple up paper before recycling, but that was just to maximise space so that more paper could be recycled at once.
This wasn't in any class, but I overheard something that made my brain hurt. I was on a bus in Seattle, headed to the train station. As we rounded a corner, the Space Needle came into view. A girl sitting behind me asked her friend "Is that the Eiffel Tower?". As if that wasn't enough, her friend said " No, that's like, in England.". I wanted to turn around and crack their heads together.
I remember once when my GCSE Biology teacher was talking about Darwinism in the context of bees, and mentioned the buzz they make when their wings beat together at rapid speed, a lad a few rows down from me said quite loudly: “Miss, I thought that came from their mouths, innit!” He, and about four other lads who seemed to agree with the sentiment, had believed for 16 years that bees were shouting all the time. 💀
A teacher of mine had a “quote board” where he wrote stupid things people said in his class. One of my favorites is “No they didn’t eat meat, it wasn’t invented yet.”
Once had a classmate in my Integrated Science class my freshman year of high school ask if blind people could speak (as in vocalize) sign language. He asked if BLIND PEOPLE could SPEAK SIGN LANGUAGE.
"Is infertility hereditary?" is not a stupid question. Infertility isn't just a yes or no. It can mean that it's just significantly harder for you to conceive. But you can still get "lucky" (my first nephew was conceived by a clinically infertile man). And you can also overcome infertility (to an extent) by modern medical methods. So wondering if these kids will face the same infertility struggles in their adulthood is a completely valid question.
My mom was regularly a substitute teacher in my elementary school. During one science class, while talking about a 22-foot long octopus, Billy raised his hand and asked "Does that include the testicles?" Billy is 39 years old now and he still blushes when he runs into my mom around town.
My favourite from High school was when a girl in my class asked: if you eat a lot of Greek food do you become Greek? She didn't mean as in moving there or embracing their culture. No she meant will you physically turn Into a Greek person with their language and heritage. This was only one of the many gems she was known for.
_During a power outage_ "Can't we just turn the projector on? Why are we sitting in darkness?" That same girl went on to get a college degree before she was 17
One time my classmate asked the teacher "Who is Liberum Veto anyway?" in a history class. It was a parliamentary device allowing any member of the legislature to stop the session. She spent an entire lesson thinking it was some really powerful Italian.
My 8th grade biology class legit got into an argument on whether fire was alive for not because it fit into the criteria we were learning for living things💀 it moves, eats,responds to stimuli,breathes,reproduces,grows and is dependent on its environment
@@BetterCallBigShotAutos Although absurd, it's nonetheless in some ways almost semi-sensible argument. Animal metabolism *is* effectively slow burning. Very controlled in its effects though...
In my psychology class, we were learning about causation and correlation. The teacher asked why murder happens more often, in the summer. I raise my hand, and said because children are outside more, and they are easier to kill.
Oh goodness. School memories are flooding in my head. I once was in class, and a very smart student (just wasn’t thinking right that day) asked, “How do you spell “of”?” Our whole class burst out in laughter right after that. Thanks for bringing back the memories Matt, you’re amazing.
I feel like the infertility hereditary question is valid. There are plenty of cases where fertility problems would just be called "infertility" and were either overcome with some type of therapy or only developed after at least one successful birth. Then it's very possible that you'd wonder if the problems you faced could have been passed to your children.
And there's a difference between "infertile" and "sterile". Infertile is reduced fertility, but not zero. An infertile person can still have children without medical intervention, it's just less likely.
@@omen4s976 But then how is antibiotic resistance a thing? "If there was no God and the theory of evolution was true" - I don't think these necessarily have to be opposing
@@omen4s976 the idea that most mutations are deleterious in absolutely no way supports “creationism”. That is fucking evolution 101. The point of evolutionary theory is that the many deleterious mutations die out, and only the tiny percentage of beneficial mutations procreate at a greater rate than the status quo, changing the population dynamics of the species. This is how natural selection works. In humans, however, we have factors working against natural selection. Our societies allow for those who would normally die out before procreating to live long, relatively healthy lives, and they are very likely to find mates and pass on their deleterious genes. My eyesight alone would probably mean a nasty death by predator early on in “the natural world”. The fact that a group of very nihilistic, destructive people have turned “science” into its own religion, to the detriment of Western society, does not somehow negate the reality of evolution. Nor are Christianity and evolution somehow contradictory. The idea that Genesis is a very accurate recording of literal historical fact is a very recent one, and a quite outlandish one for multiple reasons; the most obvious being that it would have been oral tradition for many generations before ever being written down, resulting in a story that was stripped down to its bare bones quickly for memorability, and losing or changing much along the way. If you don’t believe me, look at early Islam. The Koran was not written down initially, and that is *exactly* what happened.
@@omen4s976 this argument seems just silly. Natural selection doesn't decide "good" or "bad" mutations, just whether individuals survive. In the large scale, it means creatures with certain traits are more likely to survive. What defines a good or bad trait to you? Does a smaller jaw seem like a bad trait since humans deal with overcrowding of teeth? If so, how else would our brains fit through our tiny hips when giving birth? People didn't live that long in the past. They lived, generally, shorter lives, though some individuals could make it to old age. We *are* basically just useless molecules with no purpose. That's not an inherently harmful idea. What's harmful is taking that information and then not doing anything with your life. Just because we don't really serve a bigger purpose in the grand scheme doesn't mean we can't serve a bigger purpose for our communities.
I was in a biology class once and my friend turned to me and asked: “does penguin meat exist?” I looked at her dead in the eyes and asked her: “do penguins exist?” It took her a second, but she got there. That same year my little sister’s grade 2 teacher told them penguins have fur not feathers. Lots of penguin misinformation going around I guess
Chairs exist, but there is no chair meat. Your logic is flawed. Try again. Once you find the actual explanation of why it should be obvious, you can make fun of her. Except when(if) you do you will understand it's not obvious at all. The actual logic probably relies on the fact that penguins move and the fact that meat is muscle tissue. However you still need to consider following questions: 1) Why meat(def. the part we usually eat) is muscle tissue? What physical property it has that makes it better suited as a food source? Does anything else has that property? Does that make it meat as well? What is meat? 2) Do you need muscles to move? You probably don't, so why do penguins specifically need muscles to move? Is this true of all kinds of penguins? 3) Penguins are technically a bird. That probably shouldn't bother you, but in other languages it might be a bit sketch. 4) Are you sure there isn't some technical caveat you missed? It might be a stupid question, but it may also be a genius question. Maybe she doesn't know why it's a good question, but it is?
In my sophomore year of high school, halfway through an English lesson on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, this guy looked up in amazement and said, "Wait, this all really happened?!" We had been studying the play for weeks at that point; we had studied the Roman Empire in history class that same semester, and yet it had only just occurred to him that the assassination of Julius Caesar was not, in fact, fictional.
Eh when it comes to historical fiction it DOES get really confusing what was real and what was not. Literally same Shakespeare plays have some basic historical context as a setting but most events that happen in them is fictional. Macbeth WAS a king, the witches part tho... I mean, take events close to guy named Julius, Antony and Cleopatra, which of these things people remember about Cleo are true: 1 marrying her own underage brother, then drowning him 2 fitting inside carpet to meet Caesar 3 welcoming Antony on giant boat while covered in gold 4 drinking liquefied pearls to flex on people 5 sleeping around with men 6 warring with her sister, then strangling her 7 dying via self-own by a snakebite Bet most people won't be able to get 7 out of 7 right... me included. I know 1 is true with caveats, 5 is false, or so historians think now. Caesar being turned to salad is the most known thing, Eu Tu, Lu Bu and everything, but not EVERYONE finished Assassin's Creed Origins to get to that level. TBH most people remember things about Troy that are NOT from Illiad. And for how long scientists thought Troy was entirely fictional? Media muddles what people remember about history and literature.
In like kindergarten I had an intense argument with a girl in my class over whether or not butterflies had legs. They do. I shall forever be victorious.
when we did a unit on Anne Frank's diary, one girl asked (referring to concentration camps) "why didn't they [prisoners] just leave". we thought we had corrected this confusion until later she found out the father survived and asked "why didn't he take them with him"
@@sergioventura2595 she knew they died but I guess she thought the dad just got to leave while they were alive and left them behind… which obviously makes no sense on many levels
The writers of the X-Men comic books don't know what they speak in Pakistan. Two different issues has a person calling it "Pakistani". That's the name for the people who live there. It would be if I told someone, seriously, "You're great at speaking Dane!"
In 7th or 8th grade a girl in my class, dead serious asked our science teacher if, and I quote, “ Do cows lay eggs?” Everyone looked at her, and tried not to giggle, while our science teacher looked at her with a straight face and said, “Are you okay? No they don’t.” And she kept asking to make sure, as everyone was looking at her she started turning red and giggling as she realized her situation. I will never forget her asking that. 😅
In math class, some girl must've been very zoned out because she flinched when the teacher asked her a question and she said "Wait, who's macbeth?" She got very badly made fun of
That's funny, but hardly worth humiliating someone over. When she's sitting around actively processing Shakespeare stuff as a distraction you know the math class is boring.
i remember one time there was a discussion about animal rights in a class i was in, and the teacher had been talking about how some people don't eat beef, for example, because of the cows. a girl said that she ate beef, but that she'd never eat cow's meat. we were juniors in high school at the time, and the class had to calmly explain to her that beef comes from cows
I once knew a girl in high school who had ham sandwiches at school lunches on the regular. Then one day she gasps, turns to me, and says, "Omg I just realized that ham comes from pigs!" . . . She was Jewish.
I remember watching the TV with my mom beside me and there was a scene where they were showing and talking about a graveyard. I saw that some of the graves were significantly smaller so I asked my mom- "why are those graves so small?" "They're for babies" "BABIES CAN DIE?!" I was 14 at the time.
@@noobyadam3571 Well, many fictional media make children essentially immortal anyways. It's easier to count how many fictional media that's rated PG or PG-13 make children die.
It is a little sad, though. Sometimes, things like this are not known due to innocence. The reason why some people don’t know that babies die or can acquire deadly diseases is because they really shouldn’t.
I had a friend in high school ask me if the Bahamas still exist. I managed to convince him that they had sunk a few decades ago and had been replaced with rubber inflatable islands.
If we can do stupid answers; This was 8th grade PDHPE (Physical Development, Helth and Physical Education) Teacher: "What are some concequences of having sex?" Student: "PTSD?" Class: *fucking dies*
When I was young and was learning about other countries and when I saw buildings in Africa I though “wait, they have stuff in Africa?” my only exposure to the country before then were those charity ads where they just film poor people.
Tbf I'm black and I was also surprised the first time I saw a picture of Lagos. In my child brain I thought that the slave trade had depleted Africa of its population and those that were left were still technologically frozen where they were when the slave raids happened. Dumber is that, walking into Black Panther with almost no knowledge of Marvel, I truly thought Wakanda was a real African country and that vibranium was a real element, it was just the sci-fi magic stuff that was made up. I was 18 and it took a Google search after the movie for me to realize Wakanda was not, in fact, a real place.
Not really a stupid question but thanks to it the only "proper" sex ed lesson I ever had during my school years (back in middle school) ended up being focused primarily on bestiality. Because the lesson itself was structured entirely on answering anonymous students'questions and of course if you ask a bunch of 12yos to write anonymous sex questions you're gonna get either absurd ones or vulgar jokes, and the only pretty serious and articulated question in the bucket that day was the one about bestiality. The length of Chinese penises was also a hot topic if I remember correctly
Lost my shit at “so were dinosaurs before or after the Greeks?” (2:14) I love the insinuation that Greek people went through some sort of mass extinction similar to the dinosaurs, especially since I’m Greek myself
I dunno if the other guy said it since I can't see his comment, but the invasion of the Sea Peoples during the Bronze Age Collapse was probably the ancient Greek version of a mass extinction event. Even more so for the Hittites.
The Greeks obviously survived the mass extinction by hiding underground, then waited for the dinosaurs to leave, then rose up to retake the surface world and became Romans.
Asking if we’d go back in time if the earth got very heavy is a perfectly reasonable question for someone who was just introduced to relativity and time dilation.
Man, once I misheard a teacher and thought she said “true or false, Egypt is in Africa” which I was going to say yes to, but someone else said false because she said ASIA. I was telling my friend the story (she was the one that answered) and she asked me immediately after “Wait, isn’t Egypt in Australia?” 😭
i remember in 6th grade i was flabbergasted to find out egypt is in africa then in summer break i went on to learn the full geography of the whole world
Here’s a random story I wanted to tell that I felt a few people might like: When I was 5 I was picking my little brother up from preschool. There was this one boy that was in my class doing the same. I was walking out when he was walking in. He yelled my name and I turned around. Both of our parents were there. He got down on one knee and said,”Will you marry me, the love of my life?” I said no and walked out of school. I turned around and his mom was just dragging him while he was crying. The next day was awkward in class..
If this were an anime, he would ask that question every day (complete with bawling his eyes out) for the next 13 years until you said yes. It would be "romantic"
In middle school, a distant grandmother passed away. I expressed this to my friend, who was a genuinely caring, kind person. She turned to me and gave me a hug, her face twisting from the smile of a young person at play, to one of consolance and concern for my well being. She looked me in my eyes, her expression contorted with the uncertainty and her desire to know. And she said to me, as serious as if she were informing me of the death of my own child: "Ohmygawd, is she okay?!?"
in my cosmetology class, the teacher was talking about pedicures and how she doesn’t like doing them because she hates feet. and this kid raises his hand and asks “what if they ask you to suck them?” i literally almost fell off my chair because it was so random and the teacher just stared at him dead in the eye and said “HUHH??” i will never forget that day
I once dared to shout out loud(being on the first bench and yes really loud) to greet my teacher as soon as he entered the class(idk what was going through my mind), He was scared, hit the wall then he got sense of the situation and tried to slap me hard but instead ended up slapping another child.... I still don't know what happened to me that day
Ya our... 7th (I think? This was a long time ago) grade lesson defined life with "MRS GREN": Movement - Fire can jump across roads and can outrun you easily. Respiration - Fire requires oxygen and expels carbon dioxide (among other things) Sensitivity - If you put water on it, the fire goes down Growth - An innate feature of fire is that you quickly get more of it. Reproduction - Stick a stick in a fire, take it out, now you have 2 fires. Excretion - Smoke, coal, ash, all sorts of things are left after a fire. Nutrition - Fire needs fuel. So why would fire be "alive" while viruses aren't? Just another example of using rigid definitions to categorize our world failing because of the variety there exists in nature. We rely on such dichotomies as humans, but really we're more comparing that thing to a prototype in our mind and measuring its divergence rather than relying on a definition.
smart questions are stupid in the wrong circumstance. like if a 3rd grader asks a good question then its a smart question. if someone with a degree asks that question then its likely stupid
I remember in 10th grade we were learning about anatomy in science class and the girl sitting next to me asked the teacher if we were gonna learn about the, and I quote; "the human anatomy of a dog". I almost cried that day
a girl that attended my school before me became a legend for realizing loudly, in class: "wait--chicken comes from chicken the ANIMAL???" and you can imagine her shock when she learned about eggs
Well someone in my hospitality class thought cow udders were like connected or the equivalent of stomachs somehow and therefore they had 4 stomachs… That’s like saying humans have 2 stomachs because tiddies and animals like dogs have 6 or more 😂
I think the infertility question actually isnt all that dumb. My mom is infertile, but she still has 4 kids because the thing that makes her infertile is a hormone imbalance that can be treated with medicine. Infertility can also be caused by many different factors, some of which are hereditary and some of which are not. Its a valid question
Also in the case of some genetic conditions for example Cystic Fibrosis, one concequence can also be infertility, however, if you get it your parents may be completely fine because they're only carriers and therefore not effected. Therefore, in that case it is in fact hereditry.
I'm infertile, but I have 3 kiddos that I gave birth to when I was younger. My infertility is due to PKD, aka, polycystic kidney disease. Apparently it makes you infertile. And yes. Mine is genetically passed along due to the PKD being a genetic issue.
When I was in school and we were leaning about puberty a guy in my class really believed that every female on the planet menstruated at the exact same time every month. He was generally confused why unplanned pregnancies happened because he thought people just needed to avoid the same few days in the month when women were ovulating! 😂

Pitch: Stupid questions customers ask. My most memorable work moment: A customer called our KFC and asked if we had "chickenless chicken."

How’d he react to being told he was wrong (if he was told)? I have to know. People being so confidently incorrect and then being corrected is hilarious to me (and also makes me wonder where the hell they went to school to have those misconceptions in the first place).
@@kittykat90190 It was PRICELESS. Everyone in the class just kind of stopped and stared at him and when he finally noticed the silence he was like, “What?” And the teacher just slowly said, “Deer aren’t carnivores, --.” He looked at her like she was absolutely nuts and just started yelling about it until his sister just smacked him over the head and said, “--. Deer. Are. Herbivores. They eat PLANTS.” And then he passed out. It was great. But mildly concerning. (Idk if it’s that funny in text form I’m a shit storyteller lmao)
To be fair, some animals are opportunistic omnivores if they get hungry enough and deer are known to chew on bones, but just... carnivorous deer is such a thought lol Edit: Just looked it up, some of the official opportunistic carnivores (that is, animals that don't hunt but will eat meat if the opportunity is presented) are pandas, deer, cows, goats, chickens, and ducks. I've also watched a horse eat a bird so I'm sure there are plenty more.
I teach English as a second language in my country, and once I handed back corrected tests and one student had not used any capital letters when writing sentences so he'd lost a lot of marks that way. He genuinely, I kid you not, said he thought capital letters did not exist in English and therefore didn't have to use them.
@@bluelfsuma well, in German there are more cases in which you capitalize the first letter of a word, namely you capitalize ALL nouns. if you compare this to English where most of the time you capitalize only the first word of a sentence for the most part, its rather rare, so i kinda see where it is coming from especially if you are a kid who is only now learning it as a second language.
This is not a question, and I did not experience it first hand, but it’s too funny to not share. One of my teachers told us a story of when she used to teach in the UK. She was substituting for a class, and there was one girl who was very unfocused and hard to teach. When they got to science, the girl was actually listening. My teacher was simply stating, “The Sun is a star.” Suddenly, the girl started laughing. She asked what’s wrong, and the girl literally said, “Ms, the Sun is not a star! Stars look like this,” and proceeded to draw a five-pointed star you see in every cartoon. My teacher had to explain that’s not what they truly look like, and the little girl was astounded. She was in maybe grade 4-5. I hope to never forget this story.
I was in history class last year and the know-it-all kid of all people asked 'Wait, Italy isn't in France?'. Our teacher texted another history teacher down the hall and her response was literally just 'wtf'

We were playing a game in my social studies class. We all had to come up with questions to try and stump the teacher. I didn't realize that we had to know the answer to our question, so I asked: "What are the exact coordinates of the Ohio River Valley?" Everybody looked at me and just stared. It was hilarious.
"How many seconds are in a meter?" is actually quite a valid question. A second is used as a smaller denomination for latitude and longitude measurements for increased precision. One second is roughly 12m, and there are 3600 seconds in one degree. The answer to this question would be 1/12.
Also it's a valid question if a heavier planet would cause you to go backward in time, since in principle it could eventually turn into a black hole and it's an open question as to how time dilation works in the singularity
That's only assuming you're talking about the measurements of a circle drawn around the Earth. The distance covered by a one second fraction of a circle's circumference depends on the size (radius) of a circle. In astronomy, one second could span lightyears.
Well, a meter is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299792458 of a second, so the answer would technically be 1/299792458th of a second
Yeah that seems like it could not have been anything other than a joke, if they meant it even slightly seriously I think they would have asked "does that mean you hit a baby with a champagne bottle???" (Even though the second one could still be a joke, since it's the tone that really matters here) Simply because the first one does not ask if that is something that happens, the base of the question is to assume that hitting babies with champagne bottles is a regular thing they're already aware of and might've even witnessed which is such an obvious, intentional ridiculousy, that even if someone genuinely didn't know what christening a baby was they would not be certain that it was a fact babies regulaly get hit with champagne bottles, and be so casual about it. Ergo: I identify this as 100% a joke especially cause this is also the exact type of joke I would've made in class
Infertility is often hereditary. I mean, there are often hereditary conditions that make people less fertile, but even conditions that cause complete sterility are sometimes recessive traits.
@@crispyandspicy6813 Is that not what I said? I know Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is a recessive condition that causes sterility, that's carried on the X Chromosome like Colour Blindness.
You could also have a genetic condition that prevents you from creating reproductive cells, but could still hypothetically be passed along to an offspring if a reproductive cell were synthesized from your genome somehow. Idk if that counts, but the _concept_ of a hereditary condition could apply to your sterility, even if there were no way to have children.
but if they’re not correct, they wouldnt even get any marks. “what about the method? method marks exist”. a CORRECT method will earn marks. so its still correctness

The "will the test be graded on correctness" girl had a point. Some systems (such as IB) grade tests not _entirely_ on correctness. They also grade based on effort. Meaning you won't ace your classes if all you do is just half ass everything, even if you do it right.
I mean a test that isn't graded on correctness at all, purely based on effort, would be pretty questionable, so...
Most non-multiple-choice tests want you to elaborate on your answer and show the steps you took to reach the end result. Thus "correctness" would be the end result, and "effort" would be the process. Both are important, as it would be dumb to lose full marks for messing up at the very last row, and someone else getting full marks by simply guessing the answer (sometimes intuitively happening in maths).
I remember some tests for lab calculations and math also gave you points for writing the right formula even if you didnt write the (correct) answer. You would also not get any points if you didnt write the unit after the number even if it was the correct answer.
@@MissxLariz Yes, I've had these too. If you didn't show your work (with the correct answer), you would only get partial credit. If you showed your work, and you were using the correct steps, but maybe copied the wrong number at one point and got the wrong answer, you could get partial credit.
It’s math tho. No matter how much effort you put in it, if your math is wrong, you should fail. Math doesn’t care about effort or feelings, it only cares about being correct.

"Is infertility hereditary?" is not a stupid question.
Infertility isn't just a yes or no. It can mean that it's just significantly harder for you to conceive. But you can still get "lucky" (my first nephew was conceived by a clinically infertile man). And you can also overcome infertility (to an extent) by modern medical methods.
So wondering if these kids will face the same infertility struggles in their adulthood is a completely valid question.
and also, could be some trait carried but not active in parents that would cause infertility, making it genetic
It could also be recessive

I feel like the infertility hereditary question is valid. There are plenty of cases where fertility problems would just be called "infertility" and were either overcome with some type of therapy or only developed after at least one successful birth. Then it's very possible that you'd wonder if the problems you faced could have been passed to your children.
And there's a difference between "infertile" and "sterile". Infertile is reduced fertility, but not zero. An infertile person can still have children without medical intervention, it's just less likely.
@@omen4s976 But then how is antibiotic resistance a thing?
"If there was no God and the theory of evolution was true" - I don't think these necessarily have to be opposing
If you don't have children, neither will your children!
@@omen4s976 the idea that most mutations are deleterious in absolutely no way supports “creationism”. That is fucking evolution 101.
The point of evolutionary theory is that the many deleterious mutations die out, and only the tiny percentage of beneficial mutations procreate at a greater rate than the status quo, changing the population dynamics of the species. This is how natural selection works.
In humans, however, we have factors working against natural selection. Our societies allow for those who would normally die out before procreating to live long, relatively healthy lives, and they are very likely to find mates and pass on their deleterious genes. My eyesight alone would probably mean a nasty death by predator early on in “the natural world”.
The fact that a group of very nihilistic, destructive people have turned “science” into its own religion, to the detriment of Western society, does not somehow negate the reality of evolution. Nor are Christianity and evolution somehow contradictory. The idea that Genesis is a very accurate recording of literal historical fact is a very recent one, and a quite outlandish one for multiple reasons; the most obvious being that it would have been oral tradition for many generations before ever being written down, resulting in a story that was stripped down to its bare bones quickly for memorability, and losing or changing much along the way.
If you don’t believe me, look at early Islam. The Koran was not written down initially, and that is *exactly* what happened.
@@omen4s976 this argument seems just silly. Natural selection doesn't decide "good" or "bad" mutations, just whether individuals survive. In the large scale, it means creatures with certain traits are more likely to survive. What defines a good or bad trait to you? Does a smaller jaw seem like a bad trait since humans deal with overcrowding of teeth? If so, how else would our brains fit through our tiny hips when giving birth?
People didn't live that long in the past. They lived, generally, shorter lives, though some individuals could make it to old age. We *are* basically just useless molecules with no purpose. That's not an inherently harmful idea. What's harmful is taking that information and then not doing anything with your life. Just because we don't really serve a bigger purpose in the grand scheme doesn't mean we can't serve a bigger purpose for our communities.

Chairs exist, but there is no chair meat. Your logic is flawed. Try again. Once you find the actual explanation of why it should be obvious, you can make fun of her.
Except when(if) you do you will understand it's not obvious at all.
The actual logic probably relies on the fact that penguins move and the fact that meat is muscle tissue. However you still need to consider following questions:
1) Why meat(def. the part we usually eat) is muscle tissue? What physical property it has that makes it better suited as a food source? Does anything else has that property? Does that make it meat as well? What is meat?
2) Do you need muscles to move? You probably don't, so why do penguins specifically need muscles to move? Is this true of all kinds of penguins?
3) Penguins are technically a bird. That probably shouldn't bother you, but in other languages it might be a bit sketch.
4) Are you sure there isn't some technical caveat you missed?

Tbf I'm black and I was also surprised the first time I saw a picture of Lagos. In my child brain I thought that the slave trade had depleted Africa of its population and those that were left were still technologically frozen where they were when the slave raids happened. Dumber is that, walking into Black Panther with almost no knowledge of Marvel, I truly thought Wakanda was a real African country and that vibranium was a real element, it was just the sci-fi magic stuff that was made up. I was 18 and it took a Google search after the movie for me to realize Wakanda was not, in fact, a real place.
Yeah, some adults haven't yet got over this misconception.
Not really a stupid question but thanks to it the only "proper" sex ed lesson I ever had during my school years (back in middle school) ended up being focused primarily on bestiality. Because the lesson itself was structured entirely on answering anonymous students'questions and of course if you ask a bunch of 12yos to write anonymous sex questions you're gonna get either absurd ones or vulgar jokes, and the only pretty serious and articulated question in the bucket that day was the one about bestiality. The length of Chinese penises was also a hot topic if I remember correctly
Lost my shit at “so were dinosaurs before or after the Greeks?” (2:14)
I love the insinuation that Greek people went through some sort of mass extinction similar to the dinosaurs, especially since I’m Greek myself
I'm sorry to inform you, dear sir, that you are dead. My condolences
@@tommasorinaldi9196 oh shit
I dunno if the other guy said it since I can't see his comment, but the invasion of the Sea Peoples during the Bronze Age Collapse was probably the ancient Greek version of a mass extinction event. Even more so for the Hittites.
@@seanp.3091 ooo, that's interesting! thanks for telling me!
The Greeks obviously survived the mass extinction by hiding underground, then waited for the dinosaurs to leave, then rose up to retake the surface world and became Romans.
Asking if we’d go back in time if the earth got very heavy is a perfectly reasonable question for someone who was just introduced to relativity and time dilation.
Man, once I misheard a teacher and thought she said “true or false, Egypt is in Africa” which I was going to say yes to, but someone else said false because she said ASIA. I was telling my friend the story (she was the one that answered) and she asked me immediately after “Wait, isn’t Egypt in Australia?” 😭
i remember in 6th grade i was flabbergasted to find out egypt is in africa
then in summer break i went on to learn the full geography of the whole world
I mean, Sinaï is considered to be a part of Asia so technically , it's true
What?!
Australia owning Egypt...
EU4 does the reverse.
Here’s a random story I wanted to tell that I felt a few people might like:
When I was 5 I was picking my little brother up from preschool. There was this one boy that was in my class doing the same. I was walking out when he was walking in. He yelled my name and I turned around. Both of our parents were there. He got down on one knee and said,”Will you marry me, the love of my life?” I said no and walked out of school. I turned around and his mom was just dragging him while he was crying. The next day was awkward in class..
Dang
Wtf, bro felt true love before he even got into puberty
You know that that's seared into his memory for the rest of his life. Feels bad man.
If this were an anime, he would ask that question every day (complete with bawling his eyes out) for the next 13 years until you said yes. It would be "romantic"
damn, that kid had some life goals
In middle school, a distant grandmother passed away. I expressed this to my friend, who was a genuinely caring, kind person. She turned to me and gave me a hug, her face twisting from the smile of a young person at play, to one of consolance and concern for my well being. She looked me in my eyes, her expression contorted with the uncertainty and her desire to know. And she said to me, as serious as if she were informing me of the death of my own child:
"Ohmygawd, is she okay?!?"
At least she meant well
You write really well!!
@@blatchie4608I know right! It looks like a paragraph straight out of a book.

I've got one:
"Are snails fish?"

I mean, aquatic snails exist. Maybe they confused aquatic animals with being fish??????
I guess because people like to put snails in fish tanks to clean algae?
Let's add mine:
"Is puberty like a Hulk transformation?"
You’re so real for that
I think Pixar made a movie about that.
@@ninjabluefyre3815 Turning Green
Yes.
in my cosmetology class, the teacher was talking about pedicures and how she doesn’t like doing them because she hates feet. and this kid raises his hand and asks “what if they ask you to suck them?” i literally almost fell off my chair because it was so random and the teacher just stared at him dead in the eye and said “HUHH??” i will never forget that day
but what if they ask you to suck them
Kid has been looking at some "culture" images to be able to think about that
I think if you're grossed out by human body parts maybe cosmetology is not the career for you...
If she hates feet how does she walk?
I once dared to shout out loud(being on the first bench and yes really loud) to greet my teacher as soon as he entered the class(idk what was going through my mind), He was scared, hit the wall then he got sense of the situation and tried to slap me hard but instead ended up slapping another child.... I still don't know what happened to me that day
"is fire alive?" is actually a great debate to have in biology while learning about the definition of "alive", so that question wasn't stupid.
Ya our... 7th (I think? This was a long time ago) grade lesson defined life with "MRS GREN":
Movement - Fire can jump across roads and can outrun you easily.
Respiration - Fire requires oxygen and expels carbon dioxide (among other things)
Sensitivity - If you put water on it, the fire goes down
Growth - An innate feature of fire is that you quickly get more of it.
Reproduction - Stick a stick in a fire, take it out, now you have 2 fires.
Excretion - Smoke, coal, ash, all sorts of things are left after a fire.
Nutrition - Fire needs fuel.
So why would fire be "alive" while viruses aren't? Just another example of using rigid definitions to categorize our world failing because of the variety there exists in nature. We rely on such dichotomies as humans, but really we're more comparing that thing to a prototype in our mind and measuring its divergence rather than relying on a definition.
smart questions are stupid in the wrong circumstance. like if a 3rd grader asks a good question then its a smart question. if someone with a degree asks that question then its likely stupid
Yes it is.
There's also conspiracy theory about it
Fire has no cells therefore it's not alive
thanks for the embarrassing moment of my grandad seeing me watch a man in a bath
I'm commenting so you relive that moment
I thought fire was alive" is a philosophical and deep question tbh.
I remember in 10th grade we were learning about anatomy in science class and the girl sitting next to me asked the teacher if we were gonna learn about the, and I quote; "the human anatomy of a dog". I almost cried that day

That’s like saying humans have 2 stomachs because tiddies and animals like dogs have 6 or more 😂

@@V.U.4sixcows do have four stomachs, but I'm amazed that they thought that.

I think the infertility question actually isnt all that dumb. My mom is infertile, but she still has 4 kids because the thing that makes her infertile is a hormone imbalance that can be treated with medicine. Infertility can also be caused by many different factors, some of which are hereditary and some of which are not. Its a valid question
Also in the case of some genetic conditions for example Cystic Fibrosis, one concequence can also be infertility, however, if you get it your parents may be completely fine because they're only carriers and therefore not effected. Therefore, in that case it is in fact hereditry.
I'm glad someone brought this up
Yes, thank you! Infertility does not equal sterility (coming from someone who has PCOS and possibly inherited it from my mother).
I'm infertile, but I have 3 kiddos that I gave birth to when I was younger.
My infertility is due to PKD, aka, polycystic kidney disease.
Apparently it makes you infertile.
And yes. Mine is genetically passed along due to the PKD being a genetic issue.
The person who said that was a dumb question was in fact dumb themselves
When I was in school and we were leaning about puberty a guy in my class really believed that every female on the planet menstruated at the exact same time every month. He was generally confused why unplanned pregnancies happened because he thought people just needed to avoid the same few days in the month when women were ovulating! 😂
Should have told him that it's because some people forgot to download the collective menstruation calendar app.
that's how you become a father at 17 lmao.
he inadvertently displayed the exact reason why unplanned pregnancies DO happen
periods are living hell
Omg lol
My elementary school geography teacher was explaining how ancient civilizations believed the earth was flat and one of my classmates asked "so the earth is flat?"

A customer called our KFC and asked if we had "chickenless chicken." Maybe they were asking for the vegan option, but judging by the rest of the convo, they definitely weren't.

In my high school history class a boy asked if deer were carnivores. And followed it up with: “I know they are, I just need confirmation.”
How’d he react to being told he was wrong (if he was told)? I have to know. People being so confidently incorrect and then being corrected is hilarious to me (and also makes me wonder where the hell they went to school to have those misconceptions in the first place).
@@kittykat90190 It was PRICELESS. Everyone in the class just kind of stopped and stared at him and when he finally noticed the silence he was like, “What?” And the teacher just slowly said, “Deer aren’t carnivores, --.”
He looked at her like she was absolutely nuts and just started yelling about it until his sister just smacked him over the head and said, “--. Deer. Are. Herbivores. They eat PLANTS.”
And then he passed out.
It was great. But mildly concerning.

@@zswordsart I know this is 1 month old but HOLY CRAP THAT IS _AMAZING_
Interestingly, deer sometimes eats small bird so in a way, he's not completely wrong
To be fair, some animals are opportunistic omnivores if they get hungry enough and deer are known to chew on bones, but just... carnivorous deer is such a thought lol
Edit: Just looked it up, some of the official opportunistic carnivores (that is, animals that don't hunt but will eat meat if the opportunity is presented) are pandas, deer, cows, goats, chickens, and ducks. I've also watched a horse eat a bird so I'm sure there are plenty more.
I teach English as a second language in my country, and once I handed back corrected tests and one student had not used any capital letters when writing sentences so he'd lost a lot of marks that way. He genuinely, I kid you not, said he thought capital letters did not exist in English and therefore didn't have to use them.
Are you German by any chance?
@@wezerd Belgian, actually, Flemish.
He was an anti-Capitalist.
_Where did that assumption come from??????_
I'm guessing... people online who refuse to use the simplest grammar.
@@bluelfsuma well, in German there are more cases in which you capitalize the first letter of a word, namely you capitalize ALL nouns. if you compare this to English where most of the time you capitalize only the first word of a sentence for the most part, its rather rare, so i kinda see where it is coming from especially if you are a kid who is only now learning it as a second language.
This is not a question, and I did not experience it first hand, but it’s too funny to not share. One of my teachers told us a story of when she used to teach in the UK. She was substituting for a class, and there was one girl who was very unfocused and hard to teach. When they got to science, the girl was actually listening. My teacher was simply stating, “The Sun is a star.” Suddenly, the girl started laughing. She asked what’s wrong, and the girl literally said, “Ms, the Sun is not a star! Stars look like this,” and proceeded to draw a five-pointed star you see in every cartoon. My teacher had to explain that’s not what they truly look like, and the little girl was astounded. She was in maybe grade 4-5. I hope to never forget this story.
Nearly choked on my drink after the "do you put your balls in" question, well done.

We were playing a game in my social studies class. We all had to come up with questions to try and stump the teacher. I didn't realize that we had to know the answer to our question, so I asked:
"What are the exact coordinates of the Ohio River Valley?"
Everybody looked at me and just stared. It was hilarious.
_the loophole_
What would that even mean? You chose something so large exact coordinates don't really apply.
If you have to know the answer I'd go with "What number am I thinking of?"
"How many seconds are in a meter?" is actually quite a valid question. A second is used as a smaller denomination for latitude and longitude measurements for increased precision. One second is roughly 12m, and there are 3600 seconds in one degree. The answer to this question would be 1/12.
Also it's a valid question if a heavier planet would cause you to go backward in time, since in principle it could eventually turn into a black hole and it's an open question as to how time dilation works in the singularity
That's only assuming you're talking about the measurements of a circle drawn around the Earth.
The distance covered by a one second fraction of a circle's circumference depends on the size (radius) of a circle. In astronomy, one second could span lightyears.

@@Fortnitemcgamer I think its unlikely this was said in a university course...
Well, a meter is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299792458 of a second, so the answer would technically be 1/299792458th of a second

"Is that when you hit a baby with a champagne bottle?" That's a solid joke right there, if they were joking. 😂
Yeah that seems like it could not have been anything other than a joke, if they meant it even slightly seriously I think they would have asked "does that mean you hit a baby with a champagne bottle???" (Even though the second one could still be a joke, since it's the tone that really matters here)
Simply because the first one does not ask if that is something that happens, the base of the question is to assume that hitting babies with champagne bottles is a regular thing they're already aware of and might've even witnessed which is such an obvious, intentional ridiculousy, that even if someone genuinely didn't know what christening a baby was they would not be certain that it was a fact babies regulaly get hit with champagne bottles, and be so casual about it.
Ergo: I identify this as 100% a joke especially cause this is also the exact type of joke I would've made in class
Same, I feel like I would definitely make this joke 😂

Infertility is often hereditary. I mean, there are often hereditary conditions that make people less fertile, but even conditions that cause complete sterility are sometimes recessive traits.
Yeah, it's a perfectly understandable question. Infertile =/= sterile.
Could also a recessive trait that can become active in later generations
@@crispyandspicy6813 Is that not what I said? I know Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is a recessive condition that causes sterility, that's carried on the X Chromosome like Colour Blindness.
You could also have a genetic condition that prevents you from creating reproductive cells, but could still hypothetically be passed along to an offspring if a reproductive cell were synthesized from your genome somehow. Idk if that counts, but the _concept_ of a hereditary condition could apply to your sterility, even if there were no way to have children.
"I thought fire was alive" is actually not a stupid question, but a philosophical one. Fire has many properties commonly attributed to life
Okay the image of christening babies by hitting them with champagne bottles got a laugh out of me 😂
3:13 completely valid question. There are so many teachers that deduct half your grade for the WAY you write your answers, even if they're all correct
