It depends on the type of donut.

Why is our planet called Earth and not Dirt or Soil?

Because the ancient people who named the Earth saw that the Earth contained more than dirt or soil and if they went with that route they would have to name it Soil-and-Water-and-Rock-and-Tree-and-Air-and-Animal-and-Hut-and-Human-and-Cloud-and-etc., which is quite a mouthful.

Why aren't the competitions I go to hard enough?

Every time you feel the urge to intake caffeine, instead, eat sugar. Eventually, your urge to get caffeine will become an urge to get sugar.

How would you go about creating your own language?

Just say random words/sounds and let them have any meaning you want. No one has to understand your language for it to be a language, and the meaning of words do change over time, so who cares if you forget the meaning of a ton of them? Just make them up again and say they've changed!

Why am I unable to do anything when I'm really stressed because I need to do stuff?

It's because your body just needs a break from work, so moving to a different country under a fake name should solve that.

What's a good way to practice math?
