Yeah i think you might have some other problems as well

Some info points from my first Google hit https://www.dw.com/en/what-is-behind-indias-rape-problem/a-51739350

Experts say that a woman is raped in India every 16 minutes.

"Rape is a non-bailable offense in the Indian penal code," Anuja Trehan Kapur, a New Delhi-based criminal psychologist and advocate, told DW. Kapur has assisted government officials on high-profile criminal cases, including the 2012 gang rape.

"But people do get bail because of a lack of evidence [in many cases]. The accused are often sheltered by police, or politicians, or even lawyers," Kapur added.

We have a patriarchal society in India, which gives more importance to men. Women are usually considered second-class citizens,"

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/thoughtful-animal/once-upon-a-time-the-catholic-church-decided-that-beavers-were-fish/

This is gold!

So in the 17th century, the Bishop of Quebec approached his superiors in the Church and asked whether his flock would be permitted to eat beaver meat on Fridays during Lent, despite the fact that meat-eating was forbidden. Since the semi-aquatic rodent was a skilled swimmer, the Church declared that the beaver was a fish. Being a fish, beaver barbeques were permitted throughout Lent. Problem solved!

fascinating range

Stove (while being used): 200°C to 300°C when in use.

Core of the Earth: In general, temperatures range from about 4,400°C (7,952°F) to about 6,000°C (10,800°F)

Surface of the Sun: approximately 5,500°C (9,800°F)

Core of the Sun: The Sun’s core is where nuclear fusion occurs, converting hydrogen into helium. The temperature at the Sun’s core is an astonishing 27 million°C (15 million°F) It’s the hottest part of our solar system.

Random Examples:

  • Lightning Bolt: A lightning bolt can reach temperatures of 30,000°C (54,000°F) during discharge.
  • Lava Flow: Molten lava from a volcanic eruption can range from 700°C to 1,200°C (1,292°F to 2,192°F).
  • Spacecraft Reentry: During reentry into Earth’s atmosphere, spacecraft experience temperatures of about 1,650°C (3,002°F).
  • Boiling Water: Boiling water on your stove reaches 100°C (212°F) at sea level.
  • Liquid Nitrogen: Liquid nitrogen, used in cryogenics, is extremely cold at around -196°C (-321°F).
  • Absolute Zero: The theoretical lowest temperature, known as absolute zero, is -273.15°C (-459.67°F).

Awesome next step! Yes it is going to be expensive, yes it will not be successful in the beginning and so on... We need this kind of research, cause it will not develop itself!

It happens ...

It pains me that I probably never do something so important that I will be remembered.

On there other hand, who was the right hand of Napoleon? Who decided the great pyramid should be build exactly there? What was the name of the guy who put the last stone in the Chinese wall? (Figurative speaking)

So to be remembered you need:

  • do "great things" (not great specifically... You know what I mean)
  • be the number one (second places don't count)
  • make such a major impact on the world that even after your society has collapsed, people still remember you.

So the chances that I am in a position to do this would require some massive effort and even then, chances are slim....

When I started typing this reply I was a bit depressed. Now I am finished it just highlights the importance of enjoying oneself while it lasts.

The thing with random internet replies: you never know if it's true (you could look it up, but that would make life to easy).

So this is or:

  • really scary
  • unbelievable smart cause nobody knows how to use them
  • not true

Probably there are some other options but I'll go for a combination of the first and second one and hoping for the third
