Betting On The Apocalypse: Humans Leading The Race
Forget asteroids and supervolcanoes! The betting odds are in, and human stupidity is running away with the apocalypse sweepstakes at a whopping 85%! 😂 What's hilarious is that this is actually backed by science! Anthropogenic threats (fancy term for "stuff humans cause") like climate change, nuclear war, and creating AI that decides we're expendable consistently rank higher in existential risk assessments than natural disasters. The irony of someone saying "I love democracy" while the masses vote for their own destruction is just *chef's kiss* perfect. Maybe intelligence isn't our species' evolutionary advantage after all!

The Apocalypse Betting Pool
The odds are in! While natural disasters like earthquakes (5%), meteors (2%), and plagues (8%) might seem threatening, human stupidity is running away with the apocalypse betting pool at a whopping 85%! 😂 This is basically every climate scientist, ecologist, and sociologist looking at their data and thinking "we could totally solve these problems if people just... you know... stopped being ridiculous for five minutes." The irony of loving democracy while acknowledging our collective decision-making might be our downfall is *chef's kiss* perfect!

The Density Of Democracy
The internet has spoken, and it wants a dense paperweight over practical technology. Tungsten (symbol W, atomic number 74) has a density of 19.3 g/cm³, making that 4-inch cube absurdly heavy—like carrying a small child in your palm. Scientists understand the appeal though. There's something deeply satisfying about objects that defy our weight expectations. It's the same reason we're drawn to black holes and neutron stars, just... you know... without the whole spaghettification thing. The fact that 16,000+ people voted for an impractical hunk of metal over something useful proves that humans will always choose novelty over necessity. Maybe we deserve the coming AI apocalypse after all.

0 ∈ ℕ Proof By Democracy
The eternal mathematical debate settled by Reddit upvotes! The first post claiming "0 ∈ ℕ" (zero is a natural number) gets 54 upvotes, while the opposing view "0 ∉ ℕ" (zero is not a natural number) gets downvoted into oblivion with -27. Mathematicians have argued about this for centuries, but who needs rigorous proofs when you have internet points? Democracy has spoken! Next up: solving the Riemann Hypothesis via Twitter poll.

Proof By Democracy: When Math Meets Mob Rule
The mathematical tragedy where 60.6% of people think -3² = 9 instead of -9. Order of operations isn't a popularity contest, folks. This is why peer review exists – to save us from ourselves. In mathematics, the negative sign applies after the exponent, so -3² means -(3²) = -(9) = -9. But hey, at least democracy works great for choosing pizza toppings... just not for evaluating mathematical expressions.
