The moderator told me questions like this aren’t stupid and they’re the point of this community.

I want an answer.

    This was actually a Victorian parody question they invented to make fun of medieval philosophers. Nowadays we think Thomas Aquinas, etc. were making quite sophisticated points, albeit within the boundaries of the religious society of the time.

        3 or 54 exactly, and nothing in between. Also, you are taking all of this waaay too seriously. Go touch some grass.

          What species of grass do you think will produce the most acceptable results should I touch it? Do you think Kentucky bluegrass is the best?

          I hear what you’re saying, my point is invalid because I haven’t touched grass, so I need you to answer this question.

            I need to know your location to know what grass is ecologically appropriate to grow there. Wouldn’t want you growing an invasive species. Also need to know the layout of your water, soil, proximity to water, amount of shade, etc. Would be easiest for you to just provide your address so I can find the best grass location near you.

            There is also the option to just not interact with things you don’t like on the internet. You can just not respond. You can block people that say things you don’t like. You can also make your own community that you moderate how you want to. Why are you demanding that someone else do work that you’re unwilling to do yourself?

            Or you can go touch grass. If you find google maps data collection too invasive to find a local park with you can also try duckduckgo.

    That depends on whether the angels in question are bosons or fermions—which in turn depends on how fast they’re spinning (so the dance they’re performing may also be relevant).

          “where we’re going, you won’t need eyes to see”

          sorry, not relevant, but it made me think of this line from Event Horizon, which was the only horror movie that has ever actually frightened me.

    What kind of Angel, would be a follow-up. There’s different kinds.

      They are wrong.

      They are lazy.

      If they don’t want to shape this into a community where people can actually ask questions that can produce a meaningul answers, it’s just a pointless chat room.
