Wouldn't it be wise to verify what we read?

DNSB · 09-25-2021, 09:02 PM

Why verify what we read when doing so might cause us to realize that we are reading less than factual content?

Have you dropped the use of questions marks for sentences that are clearly in the form of a question?

drjd · 09-26-2021, 05:49 AM

Will the question marks shatter if dropped from a height?

pdurrant · 09-26-2021, 07:09 AM

Surely that depends on the material with which you fashion your question marks?

Would a diamond question mark be vulnerable to shattering if dropped just wrong?

Have you ever seen a white hot diamond burn in a bowl of liquid oxygen?

Solitaire1 · 09-27-2021, 07:37 AM

Is that because diamond is basically a form of carbon?

Are you ever going to swing that blade?

Solitaire1 · 09-27-2021, 10:24 AM

Don't I swing my sword all the time? Isn't just that I swing it so fast that you don't see it move?

Is a diamond just a much more expensive version of charcoal?

pdurrant · 09-28-2021, 01:58 AM

Have you ever seen charcoal jewellery?

Solitaire1 · 09-28-2021, 06:08 AM

How could charcoal form jewelry since it is not a gem? Would it be much like trying to make jewelry out of graphite (which would be very slippery)?

pdurrant · 09-28-2021, 07:02 AM

Must jewellery always be made from gems and precious metals?

DNSB · 09-28-2021, 01:34 PM

Has one not noticed jewellery made with ceramics or hair as examples?
