:Yes, but they would be radioactive.  The much more impressive reaction is to turn gold into peanuts, other than by paying a farmer for peanuts using the gold.  [[User:Nutster|Nutster]] ([[User talk:Nutster|talk]]) 14:36, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

If dark matter were squirrels, they wouldn't set off the bird feeders because dark matter can't interact with feeders at all! Especially since it's not to the squirrels' advantage to set them off. Unless, of course, the dark matter squirrels do exist and steal from our feeders freely, but we can't notice because dark matter is unobservable at this scale. In fact, it's entirely plausible that some squirrels evolved to be dark matter for this specific advantage, so I wouldn't rule that out. 172.68.244.174 12:12, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Well if they can't interact with the feeders, they won't be able to steal the food either.141.101.107.66 13:28, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
