Vampires Sparkle??

Dear Paranormal Side of Tumblr,

I was thinking about how different depictions of vampires either sparkling or burning in sunlight and I had the idea that maybe it depends on what time of day it is? Or maybe vampires just wear spf 50 sunscreen so they don't burn. On another note, the moon doesn't produce it's own light. It reflects the sun's, so doesn't that mean they can't go out at night either? Unless the moon filters out all the bad sunlight or something. Any ideas?

Sincerely, an idiot.

Vampires

Dear Science Side of Tumblr,

TW: Blood, Suicide

How come vampires don't suck the blood out of people's wrists? Wouldn't it be easier than sucking it out of the neck? It would be easier to convince someone to give you their hand than it would to be their neck, right? Plus, maybe they would frame the murder as a suicide by slitting the victim's wrists? Do they just do it from the neck because it looks cooler?

Sincerely, an idiot

Vision

Dear Science Side of Tumblr,

What's the shape of our peripheral vision? I'm pretty sure that it's not a rectangle, but then why are screen rectangles? Is it more gogle-y shaped? I've always wondered this.

Mermaid Meiosis Pt 2

How do mermaids have kids??? Do they make eggs like fish or are they like mammals and they just birth the baby? If they make eggs then is mermaid caviar technically a thing? If they do birth it then where is it coming out of? And do they make breast milk? With that side note, are the seashells or mermaid breasts a part of them or???

Balloons are weird

Dear Science side of Tumblr,

How come some balloons deflate after 2 days but then some last for like 6 years. Is it the material? Is it the way it's tied? Is it survival of the fittest but for balloons?

Mermaid Meiosis

Dear Science side of Tumblr,

Are mermaids half human and half fish or are they their own separate species? Cuz if they're half human and half fish then there is a very little chance that the offspring comes out as full human/full fish. imagine two mermaids have a kid and then it's a tuna. You could have eaten a mermaid's kid and not known.

Sincerely, an idiot
