So I put a temperature sensor under the sunlight and after a while it displayed 75°C. Will stoves become irrelevant in the future?

With stoves you can heat things up in a more controlled way. It's as hot as you want it when you want it. But besides that, way before the outside temperature ever gets as hot as stoves can get, nearly all life on Earth will be extinct, including humans...so yes, stoves will become irrelevant in that sense. =p

Was this a genius move, considering it was quite hot that day? https://youtu.be/Q2HqBmtJ8KM

Why are people so offended by people who celebrate valentines day?

I didn't know they were, but I know that a lot of people dislike Valentine's day because it reminds them that they're single. And some people think Valentine's day is gimmicky, like why make a holiday invented by a corporation to make money the pinnacle of your relationship...

The mayor of Rio went to the beach and put system of a down (not something the average local enjoys) to play in a portable speaker. Supposedly that was to educate people to not play loud music on the beach because it's annoying. Thoughts?

I hope it worked.
And it's not particularly immoral/unethical, imo. Playing some music never killed anyone, and I'm assuming it was perfectly legal, and it was supposedly for a good cause.

I just learned that there are Instagram accounts dedicated to sharing videos of (questionable) cops scaring innocent (mostly black) people. Was the world less racist before the internet?

So the 3g network loophole I used to get unlimited internet nearly a decade ago is apparently working again. Why are companies so lazy when it comes to legacy systems? And is it wrong for me to take advantage of that?

I don't know the answer to the first question, except maybe what Sean said and/or that the legacy systems are integrated with other systems, workflows, etc. they use and it would be very expensive and possibly error-prone to upgrade them.

Whether it's wrong to take advantage of a company is a matter of opinion, but IMO, companies are inherently evil and profiteering and exploit anyone and everything they can, including you, and as such, they have more than enough money, so it's not wrong to take advantage of/cheat them.

Do you judge terms based on their origins? I mean, I think "body count" in a sexual sense is, besides dumb, an unethical term because it originated in violent contexts such as wars.

Just saw a graffiti. "Underground art ceases to be revolutionary once it surrenders to commercialism." Do you agree with it?

What do you feel about people who like there friends photos of them but if there is a kid or a baby in the photo they won't like like it?

i don't know, i don't know why they would do that. but whatever, why would i bother to pay attention to their motivations and pry with such hair-splitting detail like that.
