Are there any benefits to not masturbating?
You mean anecdotal evidence...

Why is it that there are such colorful descriptions of all things sex? Maybe there should be a thread on that... 🍑🍆😆

Not me. You are the one who made the claim. Don't ask me to collect evidence to support the veracity of your claim. Asking someone detailed questions about their onanistic practices is not on my "to-do" list. Did you observe them shucking corn or did you ask them if they'd been badgering the witness?

Anecdotal?

I should have been more direct. What evidence do you have that masturbation is helping to avoid cheating? It sounds like you are just making that claim because it seems right to you, not because it is necessarily true.

So I guess masturbating doesn't cause people to avoid cheating after all. Thanks for clarifying.

Interesting. I've known a number of people who cheated, but I didn't realize they also didn't masturbate.

Do you truly believe modern scientists have written the end of this story?
Now I understand. Thanks.

COVID and masks
Pretty good, but not for the person wearing it. Its main benefit is for slowing the spread of COVID when an infected person wears it.

I suspect that once Jupiter is brought to the sun, gravity will be able to handle the transfer just fine.

Flipping logs over on the fire
A short while after starting the fire there is a bed of hot coals that will ignite the wood when turned over. I could remove all the sticks and logs then just place one fresh piece on top of the coals and it will be in flames within a minute or so.

Flipping logs over on the fire
In my experience as a fire sits undisturbed, the flames slowly reduce and the heat level goes down. Given enough time the majority of logs will be consumed. If I want more flame and thus more heat I turn the logs over. Perhaps we are talking about different aspects of the burning process, but I see people 'instinctively' picking up a long stick to poke at the fire and expose more of the unburned fuel to the coals.

Flipping logs over on the fire
I'm a bit confused by this. If you turn a log over, instead of one side of the log burning you now have two sides of the log burning. Even if the originally burning side slows combustion, the newly burning side will soon be burning at the rate of the originally burning side (even faster for a while).

Then it shouldn't matter much whether you flip or not. Just make sure you maintain plenty of air flow to allow for complete combustion. As long as you have good airflow the only thing flipping the wood does is change how quickly the heat is generated.

Aliens from space (split from Time to talk about UFO's or now as the military calls them UAP's?)
Simply procreating as your sole purpose would be horribly boring. But why would you assume that to be the case? Is that all you do now? Did the men flying to the moon simply sit back and wait for the ride to end? Were the men aboard the Victoria simply on a ride for three years as the ship circumnavigated the globe? Presumably if you are going to be aboard a ship your entire life with others you are going to have a job to do, socialize, eat, read, study, and play. Just like you do today.

Yes, it's slow. Even if we go really fast it is still going to take longer than our lifetime. But if it takes more than a lifetime, who cares if it takes 10, or 50 lifetimes? So why is warp speed necessary? Why can't we go slowly and just accept there is a limit to how fast we can go?

Flipping logs over on the fire
With an outdoor fire, once the fire is established the wood is setting on a bed of coals. Turning the wood over puts fresh fuel in contact with the hot coals. Absolutely. Burns hotter and cleaner, and if burning in an indoor fireplace unseasoned wood leads to creosote buildup and a potential fire hazard in the flue. But even seasoned wood might have 20% water content.

Warp speed wasn't available to the Roman legions but they took what was available to them and made do.

I'm not familiar with 'heat driving moisture'. I suppose as moisture turns to steam it expands in all possible directions so you "may" get more moisture in the top of the log, but the heat should be boiling that off too. Bottom line is that all of the water in the log has to boil off, whether you do it by turning the log or not. I think you need to define what you mean by "harming" how well the log burns. Do you mean how fast? (if so, is fast good or bad?) Average temperature? Kind of vague. From many years of experience I'd say a turned log burns faster than one that is not turned.

Which part exactly is outside known physics?

Can you be a scientist and still believe in religion?
Well if that isn't rock-solid proof I don't know what is!!!

Arachnophobia
Har! A couple of years ago I was on a business trip to Amsterdam and a colleague and I went to have a drink in a bar. She's quite attractive and guys are always trying to pick her up, even when she is standing there with me. Very emasculating! She was joking that someone would be after me before long and it turns out she was right. For the first time in about 20 years I got hit on in a bar. Unfortunately for me it was a guy! My colleague was standing off to the side, laughing and taking pictures, which she sent to my wife. They both had a good laugh. I seem to have lost my touch with women but am now sweet as honey for guys and venomous snakes. If my wife ever divorces me at least I'll have options!!! 😃

If we didn't have the stars...
Maybe not. Our sun could be the last star, with all the other stars long since extinguished.
