Not talking about the amino acid profiles in certain foods like eggs. We know that methionine and cysteine cause a rotten egg smell, but some people have very distinct, disgusting farts that don't smell like eggs. Mostly it's due to fried food or spicy food, but what's inside that makes it so bad?

Scientists should pour ALL their money and effort into producing macroscopic quantities of superheavy elements and exotic materials e.g. positronium. I want to know what these motherfuckers LOOK like.

Cloth Masks Not Protective Enough Against Omicron COVID Variant, Expert Says
https://boston.cbslocal.com/2022/01/10/best-masks-covid-19-n95-respirators-list-cloth-mask-effectiveness/
BOSTON (CBS) – With the Omicron variant spreading so easily, at least one expert says cloth masks just don’t cut it anymore.
“The typical cloth mask might be 50 percent effective and that was OK before,” said Dr. Linsey Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech.
“It doesn’t seem to be enough with Omicron. We have special masks called respirators, such as N95 that offer much greater protection. They’re able to block 95 percent of particles that are either going out of your mouth or that you’re breathing in,” she said.
Dr. Marr studies how viruses move in the air. She says other respirators are also widely available.
“Things like the KN95, which is the Chinese version of the US N95 it has ear loop straps and it’s made out of a special material that’s very efficient at filtering out particles. It also is designed to fit closely to your face. There’s a South Korean version called the KF94 that some people call the boat-shaped respirator,” she said.
Three-ply surgical masks can also help prevent contact with infected droplets.
“There are ways to really improve the performance of a surgical mask by improving its fit. One way is to use some little kind of clips or toggles on the ear loops so that you can tighten it up so it pulls closer to your face,” Dr. Marr said.

If you were actually smart you'd be very thankful to have a low IQ

But you’re not smart sci. You’re two-bit obsessive wannabe’s. Having high IQ in this world is a cursed burden. You wouldn’t know though, so you pathetically obsess over it.

I was watching snooker yesterday and thought about a math problem I can't solve. The match went to the final frame and ended 6-5. What are the odds of that happening, assuming both players have a 50% chance of winning any frame? What about a best of 19 series going 9-9 to the final frame? Best of n? Pls help, this is making me feel dumb
