Reply to ELI5: What are the chances of getting two different DNA/Paternity test results from two accredited lab? by Beneficial-Elk-8207
assuming neither test was fudged its not statistically likely, so 2 different tests might mean one of them was fudged and you might require a 3rd.

Reply to comment by SoulWager in ELI5: How would power be harnessed from cold fusion? by off-and-on
Just to check, did you mean muons or did you actually mean bosons, in which case please elaborate or link something that talks about it, because I've never heard of that one

Reply to ELI5: Why did Norfolk Southern decide to burn all of the chemicals in the detailed train cars instead of just pumping them out into a different container? by [deleted]
Chemicals often need to be uncontaminated to be used for their intended purpose, and being spilled onto the ground would result in all sorts of contamination.

The containers were completely wrecked and no longer contained the chemicals it was mainly spilled out and there was nothing in the containers to pump.

Sleepwalker? Or maybe you actually fell asleep with clothes on but don’t remember because you were tired

Reply to comment by Vakulum in ELI5: Why do people wear different types of helmets when skiing and bicycling? by LucasUnited
Certification requirments are the same. Looks and ventilation is only difference.

Apart from what people already said about "cold" quite possibly meaning "10000°", it's also not like you need something to be hot to create power. Photovoltaic, hydroelectric and wind power are not boiling hot either. And neither are batteries or fuel cells. A cold fusion cell that works akin to a hydrogen fuel cell is not unthinkable, just pretty unlikely to exist.

Question could be, why do guys get a boner when….?
Maybe, hormones. Maybe, sleepy. Maybe, awake. Maybe, excited. Maybe, sad. Maybe, fuck you, that’s why.

The room temperature means that no heat is added not that no heat is produced, basically hot fusion requires enormous temperatures which of course means energy being put into the process so any energy extracted has to be balanced out with the energy you input. Cold fusion has been a pipe dream for science but it just won't work https://youtu.be/GNdJHcM7-5U

I’ll add that the chemicals were volatile and likely to catch fire while they’re being pumped into containers.
