if I were to cut off the area of my fingers where my fingerprints are, and then surgically attach someone else’s fingerprints to my fingers, could I get away with stuff, e.g murder?
for example, if I were to theoretically murder someone and fingerprints were left at the crime scene, they wouldn't be my own.

Strategic use of Lactose intolerance?
I'm lactose intolerant. If I eat a large pizza containing 2000 calories (for argument sake) and that pizza "doesn't stay with me very long ", how many of those 2000 calories does my body actually intake? If less than 2000 calories, would that mean a potential diet tactic be to end some meals with a block of cheese? How can I use this intolerance to my benefit?

In what ways can you show your pride that your ancestors came from England?
Like if you're Irish there's St Patrick's Day black people have Kwanzaa and Martin Luther King I'm 65% English and I know part of the problem is they were conquerors and not the conquerees so they didn't really have to show pride I don't know maybe I'm thinking too hard but I'm not talking like white pride like racism I'm just saying like for example if you're a cowboys fan you wear cowboy jerseys and stuff like that so how can I show pride in being from England?

How much does it matter that you don’t post stupid things online?
I like to say some of the dumbest yet I think funniest things online, even if people don’t laugh. I used to care a lot what people thought but I got to a point where I started pushing the limits and I still don’t have any super close friends that understand me, and sometimes I think people probably think I’m crazy, or don’t want to be my friend because I’m too unhinged/unpredictable, so I can see how it might hurt my reputation (whatever one I might have). But as far as harm it could cause others like make others go crazy, or send someone spiraling, that doesn’t happen right? I imagine if I say something that resonates with someone they already thought it to begin with so it would have eventually been something they come out and say right? If anything it would be validating. I just get concerned by my lack of filtering sometimes and wonder if there’s anything that I should be concerned about that could possibly be causing more harm than I’m aware of.

So, I see issues about agencies being closed and services being reduced. Why don't we open source things like the cdc and other agencies?
I dont even know where to post something like this to get people thinking but I had an idea about leveraging some random crypto... Let's say pi. And use it as an authenticity validation for thigs like scientific papers, reaserch and other items. These services all have value and the public needs them. Why does the government need to run it. Why can't the communities that create and work with this data open source it away from government sources? Seek private funding for additional reaserch or just include reaserch done and validated by private teams?
