    How do blind people know when they've wiped their arse enough?

    I guess that , much like see-ing people they don't "know". More an educated guess depending on what you are.
    Do you look at your bum after cleaning ?

    It goes back to the old question.

    Q - do you look at the paper after you wipe your arse?

    A - (outraged) of course not!

    Q - then how do you know when to stop wiping?

    And before anyone suggests that it's disgusting to check the loo roll, the fact is that:
    (A) damn near everyone does, without even thinking about it and
    (B) if you don't, and you're just guessing/hoping that your hoop is clean before you pull your keks up, then it is you who is disgusting.

    I'd like to know what a multiple orgasm feels like.

    Its late, very, very loose explanation.

    Faster you go in space, the more your biological clock/'you' slows down. But you dont feel the effects of it, everything is normal to you.

    The difference is back on Earth. An hour may pass, but you will have only aged one minute. The faster you go, the greater the change.

    Oh I know what happens I just don't understand the in-and-outs of it.

    What’s disgusting about that? I know instinctively when my ass is clean :confused:


    Anyway, this is one blind guys answer, because I don’t actually know anyone else’s toilet habits and I don’t want to know how you do tbh -

    I never understood how the direction of travel factors into that.

    One of the ways I try to understand TD is this:

    the face of the Earth is large clock
    I blast away from it in a fast rocket
    the quicker the rocket goes
    the slower the time would read to me
    because the light takes longer to reach my eyes

    Grand (a bit like the Doppler Effect) but I don't understand how that causes a real-world time difference as my wristwatch and a synchronised wristwatch on earth should read the same when I return.

    But it wouldn't I thought. An atomic clock on the top of mount Everest goes slower than on at sea level ? So your wrist watch and earth clock should be slightly different?

    Russian has two words for blue (light and dark) and they are treated, and perceived by native speakers, as two distinct colours

    Irish has the same for green. Glas and uaine. Glas is the green of grass and plants, organic things. Uaine is for the sea and bronze, stones, etc, things that aren't alive. Apparently two different colours, but we only learn one in school, glas.

    They would but I just can't wrap my head around how.

    How do blind people form a sexual orientation? The sound of a person's voice? Smell?

    Just something I've never understood.

    On a scale of one to ten how attractive am I physically?

    Yes.

    You're a solid 8.9.

    Most people are.

    To put it another way, there is a direct correlation between gravity and time, once gravity is understood as acceleration.

    It's actually quite odd with Irish as glas means a sort of grey when applied to animals, dubh means swarthy when applied to people, donn includes burnt orange colours not just brown.

    Grand (a bit like the Doppler Effect) but I don't understand how that causes a real-world time difference as my wristwatch and a synchronised wristwatch on earth should read the same when I return.
    Basically because it has nothing to do with the Doppler effect. It's to do with time being a direction just like left-right and forward-back are. There's an old analogy for this where we have two people heading from one island to another:

    2kvzvf.jpg

    Due to the way one person is facing the other island is 210 furlongs (old image from an American textbook) to the right and 100 furlongs forward. However for the other person it's 164.5 furlongs right and also 164.5 furlongs forward.

    So the distance in each direction depends on which way you are facing.

    This is what's going on in time dilation, if you replace the forward/back direction with time, i.e. future/past. When somebody speeds up they rotate slightly in spacetime and so the distance in time between them and some future event changes.

    I dont know why womens friends dont tell them they look like a freaky as$ monster with the weird as fcuk lips and facelift and everyone is just pretending its perfectly fine...

    What colour is blue?

    a soft blue with a hint of grey ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 768 ✭✭✭Vita nova


    What colour is blue?
    Blue's the colour of the sky
    In the morning, when we rise
    In the morning, when we rise
    That's the time, that's the time
    I love the best

    Lol, instinctively? What are you, the arse whisperer?

    You don't know. You guess that it is. All poops are different. There are endless comedy birthday cards explaining this. Some barely leave a mark, some damn near need a powerhose.

    You are simply guessing when you're done. Hoping for the best that you are not getting dressed with an incompletely wiped bum.
