Number one was, “I’m really sad about the fact that technological progress has stopped evolution and that’s why I can’t have gills.”
This was soon followed by: ‘I am very aware that my bones are all connected today and I don’t like that.’
Elsewhere, his husband also wondered why we “don’t have little chicken legs” and how we know that “dinosaurs were actually aggressive?”
“How do we know, for example, that if we encounter a dinosaur, it would not have the temperament of a guinea pig?” he continued. “I think dinosaurs have had a really bad press.”
He also admitted that he “hated earplugs because he felt like if he pulled them out they would suck his brain out.”
In another quote – seemingly straight from the 1995 hit film Clueless – the man asked: “Right, you know how to be overwhelmed and disappointed. What is overwhelmed?’
He also didn’t understand why we don’t just ‘bury people vertically’ and stated that he would like to live on Jupiter.
Social media users cried at the bits of wisdom shared in the post.

“My face hurts from laughing and I made inhuman noises because I couldn’t catch my breath when I started reading them all.”
A third said: ‘Your husband is hilarious. I hope you answered all these questions.
