That's Absurd Please Elaborate

Let’s just wait a minute while everyone logs on… just a miiiiinnuuuuute, OK do we? I think… Yes, we have everyone! Welcome y’all to our weekly corporate roundtable, before we get started let’s all do some SNAPS for Norm for his Thanos Post-Mortem! The deck was amazing and I think there were some incredible insights to share. But today we’re throwing it over to Trace to speak to our MISSING AMERICAS strategic initiative, and then later, Julian will unpack the objectives and KEY reports which, I think will OPEN so MANY DOORS for our group moving forward. Okay? OK. Let’s get started! ✨️ QUESTIONS Trace: "What if no Americas?" from Sakari Norm Chan "What would be the real consequences of a Thanos' snap? How screwed is society?” from Morgan Julian: "Which key opens the most doors?" from Art Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? If you want an answer, no matter the question, tell us!

Ever notice that our fingers seem to fit perfectly in our nostrils? Is... is that supposed to be like that? Our Patreon subscribers picked this little gem so Trace dug deep to find an answer. Then Julian tries to figure out just what it would take to make a star-encapsulating super structure, better known as a Dyson Sphere. QUESTIONS Julian: "What percentage of the earth mass it would take to make a Dyson sphere?" from Phillipe Trace: "Are we supposed to pick our nose?" from Trevor Do you have an absurd question?

QUESTIONS Virginia: “What if humans had mantis shrimp powers?” from listener Samara D Julian: "Who invented alphabetical order?" from listener Paul P Trace: "Where is the internet?" from guest Virginia Schutte, PhD Do you have an absurd question?

This episode Julian tries to think of an even better calendar (too bad "Julian Calendar" was already taken) and Trace thinks a thought so hard his head hurts. QUESTIONS Julian: "Is there a better calendar than the Gregorian? Would it solve any obscure problems?" from Daniel Trace: "Can you think something in your head so loud that it can physically hurt you?" from Austin Do you have an absurd question?

Let’s get ready to RUMMMMMMMBBBLLLEEE!! In this corner, we have a normal human who is definitely not a psychopath, and in the opposite corner we have… a fly. Just like, a fly. Also Julian is here and has an amazing story about melting gold with acid rain! QUESTIONS Julian: "Could we produce enough air pollution to make the sky rain aqua regia? At what point would it begin to dissolve gold?" from Mateo Trace: "What is the smallest creature that can be knocked out with a punch?" from Sean Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? If you want an answer, no matter the question, tell us!
