Here's my trivial question:
My foamy hand soap pump/bottle thing just ran out of soap. If I put soap in there with the little beads in it, will it fuck up the foamy thing?
I think I might do it in the name of science.

Also, if you smoke pot on a space ship, where would the smoke go? Would it just sit there in front of you?

A party in space would be so cool. You could just drink floating spheres of alcohol instead of doing shots. That'd be fuckin awesome. I wonder if you get drunk quicker in space?
If I ever get ungodly rich, I'm throwing a Shroomery party in outer fuckin space.

Most of the soap dispensers I've seen have been pretty simple mechanical systems, I suspect some close inspection could yield the answer to that question without risking jamming up your soap dispenser.
As for smoke in space, I assume you mean in a spaceship?(otherwise there would be no shortage of issues with breathing, pressure, smoking and living) In a spaceship, smoke wouldn't do anything special at all, it'd behave just like smoke. The reason water behaves so interestingly in null-g is because it's massive enough that on earth it drops to the ground. Smoke, on the other hand, is more at mercy to the effects of currents in the air than gravity, so it won't do anything special in the absence of that gravity. Sorry. ...BUT, on the plus side, in space you could make a sphere of water and then, using a straw, carefully exhale the smoke into a bubble in the center of the water which WOULD be awesome.

Your questions so far aren't that retarded. I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to them.

Apparently NASA just recently figured out fire forms a little ball in zero G conditions, since there is no "up" direction for it to point.
I was like... you guys JUST figured this out? I asked my teacher what happens to fire in a spaceship when I was like 9, and she had no idea. So I just tried to picture fire if it wasn't pointing sharply up... and I came up with an image of a little ball of fire on a match.
Stupid fuckers, if they JUST figured that out.
Edit- source
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States has recently found that gravity plays a role. Modifying the gravity causes different flame types.[3] The common distribution of a flame under normal gravity conditions depends on convection, as soot tends to rise to the top of a general flame, as in a candle in normal gravity conditions, making it yellow. In microgravity or zero gravity, such as an environment in outer space, convection no longer occurs, and the flame becomes spherical, with a tendency to become more blue and more efficient (although it will go out if not moved steadily, as the CO2 from combustion does not disperse in microgravity, and tends to smother the flame).

But there's a difference between figuring it out and trying it out! Gotta prove it right?

what exactly happends to a human if they are thrown into space without a spacesuit? Would it be like what happened in the movie "Sunshine" ?
