It's not homework. It is the responsibility that comes with participation on a site that has high standards.

LOL! Great metaphor/simile/analogy/description (I am often not clear what exactly that type of phrasing is called. 😛)

Every six months. Like clock work. 😄

About every six months or so we have a mini-debate triggered by someone who doesn't like the downvote. As there are others here who like the downvote, the result of the debate is that the option remains and people can use it or not as they see fit. Occasionally someone will downvote everything someone says because they are pissed at them and the admins will step in so that doesn't happen. Every once in a while someone doesn't like the upvote either but that is a rare sighting.

And we had two after the first virgin birth?

I remember taking the Meyers Briggs test for the first time about 30 years ago. It was a real eye opener for me. I had no idea that my co-workers viewed the world so differently than I did. Once we understood where each other was coming from and what was important to each of us, communications greatly improved as we now recognized what the other found offensive, or what kind of approach had the best chance of success. It was a real bonus for our team.

In the real world it is quite common to take personality tests. https://blog.vantagecircle.com/employment-personality-test/ The test helps you determine HOW to communicate, not "what you communicate about".

Since you seem to have missed it let me quote the very first thing I said to you: You are correct, people are not unchanging, monolithic robots. I'm getting the impression you are not actually reading what I am writing. What those things have in common is that people tend to categorize things to help themselves better understand the world. For the same reason you don't just look at a bunch of bones and say you now know the animal type. If you want a more scientific answer to a question you add some thought and structure to it, allowing it to be repeatable and generate consistent results. There are many practical applications for determining personality type. At work you might determine personality types so that you can better understand how to communicate with your co-workers. In selecting astronauts for long space missions, or undercover operatives, or ambassadors, it helps to know what their personality type is before deciding they can do the job you are selecting for.

True. But you said "two observers that are both at rest". They may not be at rest with respect to a third observer. No one is simply "at rest". They are only "at rest with respect to something else".

Because there was no benefit to doing so. Until we grew bigger heads that is.

Without any test at all I can identify people I know who are outgoing, introverts, neat freaks, cautious, confrontational, etc. Classifying personality is simply a recognition of the reality of differences between people. No different than classifying soft drinks, music, or species.

What is really funny is how many pictures showed up when I Googled "ramen birthday cake". 😆

Why? Seems like a terrible waste of time and effort. I told my kids I wanted nothing for my birthday and they met my wishes without me having to tell them I didn't want a shirt, pants, ramen noodles, lithium, red rubber ducks, shoe laces (neither brown nor black), murky water, etc.

Bullshit. I said nothing of the sort. Quit lying.

Holy crap! That is the best thing I've seen posted in this thread in a long time! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Of course I can. Happens every day. Basic neurobiology.

No. They remain speculations that we can safely ignore. You only get to claim "theory" once you provide compelling evidence that your assertions and associated model are correct.

Perhaps think of electricity like flowing water. In a wire the current is the electrons moving in a given direction. In a river the current is the water moving in a given direction. In a wire the battery or other power source provides the energy to move the electrons in a circuit. In a river, gravity provides the energy to move the water through its channel.

Either they are going to be unable to fight the fire, or they will have a second fire to fight.

As long as I'm unique. Just like everyone else... 😆

Outstanding! Turns out that I am a singularity!

Don't take the description of what you said as a WAG personally. If you hypothesize something without any data/math/model it is a WAG. Saying something is a WAG is not ridiculing you. I've made WAGs many times because I've had nothing better to go on and I had to move forward.

I love how the early 60's radicals grew the long hair... but still felt obliged to wear a suit and tie. Why do I get the feeling you'd be hard pressed to name a few Aussies who you have NOT had a few beers with? 😁

Has anyone at all suggested it is a meteorite other than you? Even after the analysis?
