RULES (Inspired by ELI5):
• Blatant speculation only. If you know the answer to a question, keep it to yourself! We only want the best and most creative wild guesses here. Even if you know the answer, make up something better.
• Never cite sources. We're not looking for verifiable facts here. Your source should be your own crazy imagination.
• Reference ELI5. Cross-posting good questions from "explainlikeim-x" is encouraged, but if you do it, include a link back to the original question there (this will also help people who are interested in the "real" answers). Yes, even if it's from the othe/r site. Or post one on Voat and link to that.
GUIDELINES:
• Please begin your questions with "LIC" or "ELIC".
• If you're posting a non-question, do not use "LIC" or "ELIC".
• Answers can be as simple or complicated as you want, but aim for humor. The spirit of the subreddit is to have a humorous exchange of completely made-up answers to life's burning questions. Feel free to add to other people's answers, or to follow-up with more questions for clarification.
• Humor is necessary, but don't be a jerk. Try to avoid especially touchy subjects in questions, or giving blatantly offensive answers.
Feel free to pose a possible answer with your own question if you have a good theory.
• "It builds character" is a perfectly appropriate answer, but remember that original answers also build character.

depends what the path of least resistance is so that it grounds out to the earth. if the path of least resistance doesn't lead it through vital organs than you can survive it. it burns everything it passes through, but it does not spread in the body, it takes a quick trip to the dirt right through you burning everything on its way through. so long as what it burns doesn't kill you, than it doesn't kill you.
