I Might Be Able To Help With The One About Dirt And Dust!

I might be able to help with the one about dirt and dust!

First of all, I would say that dust has to be dusty to be dust, so there's that.

Second of all, dirt isn't necessarily dirty. One of the things my soil science professor said about why we were going to call it soil for the purposes of that class was that "dirt" is out of place, and "soil" is not. So if it's under your fingernails or on the bottom of your shoes or in your bed, then it's dirt. If it's in your garden or the woods or wherever else of the many, many places it should be, then it's soil. I'm not sure what this means for your question, but it could be useful to think of.

Dirt is also not the only thing that can make something dirty. So if you got something you didn't want in your dirt, say, laundry detergent or gasoline, then you could say the dirt is dirty. I mean, you probably wouldn't, but you could.

You could also determine if something is dirty by if it would make you dirty, which we definitely do, at least subconsciously, and in that case, dirt is pretty certainly dirty.

I don't know if this is helpful, but also, dust is dirt. Technically. You ever wipe up some dust and notice it looks like a little dirt? That's because it's very fine soil particles. Dry clay-size ones. So uh. Take that if you wish.

Also, glitter: glitter is not a color but a quality. This is because glitter is basically the same as a bunch of little mirrors. I mean, not very high quality mirrors, but mirrors. The requirement for something to be a mirror is for it to be reflective, right? Pretty much. There are different colored mirrors out there, just like there are different colors of glitter. Essentially glitter is just anything with [a] small reflective surface[s]. That's why glitter doesn't look as cool in photographs and is hard to capture in illustration- because light moves differently irl.

What I’m thinking about:

If “nox” is night, and “lumos” is light, then is night-light “noxlumos”?

What color is crow blood? I always thought it was purple, but a group of crows is called a murder, so…

If flamingos are pink because they eat shrimp, what do cardinals eat to make them so red… *GASP*

If we humans treat women with lower respect than men, is it the same with apes? After all, we are descended from them. And do apes also have races like humans? Can apes be racist?

I want food.

The opposite of “firefly” is “waterfall”.

If watermelons are called watermelons because they have a lot of water, and humans are mostly made of water, aren’t we supposed to be called “waterorganisms”?

If people really do grow white hair because their children make them mad, then what did mom do to grandma?!

Is dirt dirty? Is dust dusty? I NEED ANSWERSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

If you name your dog Yanny, then is he going to come to you when you say, Laurel?

Is one nostril stronger than the other?

People say if you’re an optimist, the glass is half-full. But if you’re truly an optimist, why don’t you just refill the glass?\

If your American, you speak English, but you’re not English. If you’re English, you speak English, but you are also British, but you don’t speak British... WHAT.

Do you know you’re dead when you’re dead?

How much wood could the woodchuck really chuck? He’s gonna have teeth problems after that.

What the hell is wrong with people in math problems…

Is glitter a color?

You can’t walk into an empty room, it wouldn’t be empty anymore.

usually I double check my alarm before going to bed but you know what. cannot be bothered. we are collapsing. passing the heck out. catching the train to sleepytown. drifting off at 3000 mph. officially closed for the night. straight up naptiming it out here except it's like. actual night bedtime.

thought this was a hetalia post. this would be a good hetalia post

Is America real

yea most of the time

my dad always says my mom's favorite thing is to sleep in a bed with new clean sheets and you know what. I get it

ok I promise I finished my sketchbook and will answer the rest of the asks (which is 2) tomorrow but also I had a fun idea where you give me a color scheme and I make up a flower arrangement from my imagination with actual stuff you can use to make an arrangement irl. I may also illustrate them possibly.
