Why when you're watching a film and a car is moving forward the wheels look like they're spinning backwards?

Reverse rotation effect.

Don’t ask me to explain it, I got that off Google.

I don’t know if this is definitely right, but I think it’s the Frame rate of the camera vs the speed the wheel is spinning - same for helicopter rotor blades.

 

camera takes one image every 1/x000 of a second, but the wheel is in constant motion, not moving in blocks of time.

That's right, yeah, the rotation speed of whatever's spinning matches the camera's shutter speed so it appear still, or the speed is a bit faster so it looks like it's going backwards . For example-

It also happens in real life, it's known as the wagon wheel effect.

Why do we urinate and jizz out of the same appendage? And want to stick said appendage in the parts of the body that also urinate, menstruate, vomit and shit out of?

This is very easy to masturbate to.

I've always thought those M&Ms on the adverts look like gormless pricks.

When we were at school (probably not long after I first got to St Chad's) we had a session to introduce us to the library.  We were given a sheet to fill in and one of the questions asked for a question you might find the answer to in the library.  For a laugh, I wrote "Why must I be a teenager in love?"

 

Afterwards, a teacher pulled me aside to check that I was OK.

 

The moral of the story for @Rushies tash is don't feel bad about the occasional whoosh.

Just in the middle of remortgaging at the moment (cheers Kwarteng you cunt) so can tell you what I know. A tracker mortgage will follow the Bank of England's base rate of interest plus a bit on top (depending on the lender and the amount you're borrowing etc.) I was offered a rate of 4.19% recently, which was the then base rate of 3.5% plus 0.69%, which the lender put on top. That's gone tits up now with today's rate increase to 4% (meaning that mortgage now has an interest rate of 4.69%) We're probably going to go fixed at 4.35% for two years until all this shit hopefully calms down. Hope that helped mate.

Don't understand why putting everyone's mortgage payments up is "helping the economy" as they keep saying on the news. Surely the only people who benefit are banks and people bot being able to buy houses or have less disposable income gives people less to spend to help the economy.

It's easier to have one tube that fulfils two role than it is to have two tubes.

Could be worse, you could shit out of it too, like birds do.
