Things that confuse you...

[Blue in Munich]

We’ve got random irritations and things that gladden the heart, how about things that just confuse or life’s little oxymorons?

Prompted by seeing a motorcyclist riding a bike with crash bars to protect the engine in the event he comes off; whilst wearing shorts on the legs that will hit the deck before the crash bars do their bit. Why?

 

[SammmeBee]

Indeed motorbikes - why do they think different rules apply to them on the road!!

Are you exclaiming, or asking a question, or something else?

I agree 110%

DNA, chromosomes and genes, what is the difference?

To be fair many cars now have automatic headlights so they come on and off without the driver knowing. I've just driven back from Newcastle through bright sunshine, rain showers, the odd black cloud. I had my sunglasses on the whole way but no doubt the auto headlights came on every so often.

I find time dilation tricky.

The many different forms of gender we are now supposed to acknowledge and accept without question.

Gender “fluidity” - complete nonsense

Either Male or female , no such thing as gender neutral

 

[anotherdouble]

My wife

Absolutely. 2 genders, the rest are mental disorders.

How aeroplanes, particularly the long haul sized ones, get in the air and then stay up there.

Cricket. No idea. The guy with the wooden bit seems to have to wave it about, whilst trying to avoid making contact with the hard ball thingy that is trying to hit him. I thought the idea was to hit the ball with it, but it doesn't look like it.

Goldfish. Why keep goldfish? They don't give much back, not like a dog. Fetch? Not going to work.

Guys, the very existence of biologically intersex people (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex) would I hope make you consider whether things are as cut and dried as you seem to imagine.

Why is it that the earth with it's gravitational pull doesn't suck the moon into us
