Hello reddit, I have expressed my disbelief in the ways of hypnosis on many occasions and tomorrow our school is bringing in a hypnotist for a pep rally. Now, multiple teachers who have seen the demonstration before want me to be "hypnotized" before the entire student body. I have made it my mission to TROLL THE HELL out of this hypnotist and I am looking for suggestions on how to do it. All ideas are welcome and I will report the results!

My Biology teacher was giving a lecture the other day about the "ether." He said is has generally fallen out of favor with serious biologists but there was a study done a few years ago that measured a, although very tiny, change in the weight of organisms after death. Does anyone in the skeptic reddit know anything about this?

My mom just bought a wii and she & I are having a blast with it. I am just making this reddit so she & I can get some ideas for games to buy. If it isn't too much trouble, please keep in mind she & I are total penny pinchers, so could you also offer some games on the cheap? or on the nintendo store? Thanks a lot reddit!

Edit: Thanks a lot everyone for all the great suggestions!

I don't mean how these things came about and I understand basic chemicals and their affect on our physiology ect. What I really want to know is why the feeling I get when I am hurt is displeasing while the feeling I get when I have sex is pleasing. Any answers philosophy subreddit?

YES. Oh you think so too huh? Well tell that to my parents. My father says that Barack Obama's great aunt said that he was born in Kenya, that multiple hospitals in Hawaii claim to be his birthplace, that none of these hospitals have released any information about him, and that his birth certificate was forged. Where the hell do the rumors get started and how am I supposed to fight such insane allegations? Is there an obviously unbiased website that proves the truth to this nonsense?

Dear reddit, I go to a small school in Missouri that doesn't have that great of a debate coach but a fantastic debate team. This year we swept the district debate tournament despite having no debate class and going against MUCH larger schools that have a better shot at placing. My partner and I are really looking to do well at state this year but we really don't know what we should be doing to prepare or what the judges are going to be looking for. Any advice on how to win some judges will be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Thank you very much for the responses and advice!

This is the January topic for public forum speech and debate and I thought that the american politics subreddit would have something to say about the matter ; ).

  1. Is a troop surge really what we need at all? If we are trying to win the support of the afghan people why are we putting more men with guns in their cities?

  2. Is the removal date a movement toward peace or a terrible idea?

  3. Will we be able to accomplish all that the president plans in such a short time?

  4. How will this affect the way we are perceived by other countries, especially since we are asking them for help?

On the day before Christmas break my calculus teacher explained to the class why he tells his children Santa Claus is fake. He said "I don't want to lie to my kids and I don't want them to be depressed when they find out he isn't real." He is also a devout Christian and leads the biggest church in my town's youth group. Oh irony, your name is Mr.Lovelady.
