The Tiniest Arsonists Possible | LIVE from the Bay Area Science Festival ft. Vanna Tran
Notas do episódio
Let's say your house is on fire. Bummer. Worse, the only sort of fluid you have handy to douse said flames is gasoline. Lots and lots of gasoline (that's your retirement gas, baby!). Is there some way you might be able to combine the two to save your domicile, or is your nest egg and your nest about to go up in smoke? Julian investigates. Meanwhile, special guest Vanna Tran looks in to radical weight loss schemes. Radical more in the in "whoa that's objectively a terrible idea" way and not so much in the "kowabunga" way.
Vanna: "How little can a human *realistically be?" From Shane.
Julian: "How much gasoline would it take to put out a house fire?" from Macks (The Gas Man) and selected by the patrons on Patreon.
Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a silly idea that popped into your head, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? Whatever your question, we want to answer it—tell us!
