In the history of PH, has anyone ever changed their opinion on a topic due to convincing argument from the other side of the debate?
I don't know. I have, however, changed my opinion based on my own side of the debate on PH on occasion.MissChief said:
When it comes to birds weight is everything, then aerodynamics comes a very close second. For this reason a bird's genitals are stored inside their body and only come into use in breeding season, otherwise they generally lay dormant, taking up as little space and weight as possible. They're activated by hormones around breeding season otherwise they're very small and don't weigh a lot.
Most birds don't have penises at all (or a proper vageen), males and females have cloacas, an opening that combines the exit for wee, poo, and sperm/egg . Exceptions are some ducks and ostriches, which have relatively big weird dicksalorotom said:
What’s the oldest live website ... a few google searches throw up a handful from 1994 but are there any earlier ones??
Not the oldest, but spacejam.com is/was a good example of one of the first sites launched purely for promotion. It's famous for being a bit of a flop for a few reasons - firstly it was well ahead of it's time, most people didn't know or care about the web in 96, also because those who did know and care couldn't access it easily because even as basic as it is now, it was pretty complex by the standards of the day so took an age to load on a '486' with a 56k modem. Anyway, it made almost zero impact in 1996, it was only years later when it was rediscovered as people started to get 'broadband'.
It's still there now, although you're redirected to the Warner Bros site to view it. You can even download a screensaver for Windows 95 if you like.

I saw a brand new Golf today parked over two spaces in a car park, owner obviously didn’t want it getting bashed.
At what point does the snazzy new car that gets two spaces stop being snazzy and new? Left to a life of being dumped in any old spot and f
k the dents.

If I could teleport to the surface of the moon without a space suit, how long would I survive?
Not long, it's a pretty hostile environment - there's little or no atmosphere, I don't think it's a complete vacuum but it's close enough that the fluids in your body will have a boiling temp lower than your body temp meaning a massive ebullism in about 15 seconds, maybe a bit longer at midday on the moon when it's over 100c - not sure how much of a bearing that would have - either way, long enough to scream, but not much else.

Under a minute - depending whether it was day or night it would be a race between cooking/freezing and decompression98elise said:

I could have sworn I'd seen an XKCD What If on this, but I can't find it. Found this while I was looking for it though.https://www.newscientist.com/blog/space/2008/06/ho...
