Hey, there; welcome to "Dear, Blocko...", the show where I answer your questions that you have about your world and my world.

First question up⏤oh, in the Life Noggin Discord server, "toaster" asked about why some people are trolls.

And that led to the bigger overall question: Why do people hate things?

While it may vary from person to person, there's a few theories on this.

For some people, talking negatively about something may be a way of hiding the fact that they don't know much about it.

Or, they could be doing it to make themselves look better in comparison, or, as a way to establish dominance.

Some people do get joy out of seeing others upset or frustrated, unfortunately.

Or, their hatred can be a result of something called "group polarization".

This happens when a group of people discuss something they all dislike, and that negative feeling grows into something more extreme.

By the way, you can become a member of the channel to vote on which questions get selected for "Dear, Blocko..."

Next question, "Pegasus" wants to know: What if you only ate fried food for every meal?

While they are delicious, regularly eating fried foods, especially for every meal, can lead to some serious health problems.

Foods that are fried can contain more than twice the amount of calories than if they were baked.

And when oils are heated to high temperatures during the frying process, the chemical structure of their fats changes, becoming trans fats.

These are hard for your body to break down and are associated with an increased risk of diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity.

In fact, one study found that each additional 114-gram serving of fried foods per week increase(s) the overall risk of heart problems by 3%.

But if you do want to indulge every once in a while, choose foods made in healthier oils like coconut, avocado, and olive oils, which contain less trans fats.

And now it's time for a question about me or my world.

"AlexthePerplex" asks: Dear Blocko, What did Mocko do to get a restraining order?

Well, as you know, Mocko claims he's my evil twin slash archnemesis, but I've stated multiple times that I don't want that negativity in my life, so I got a restraining order.

The last straw was when he turned everything in my house purple and tried to kidnap Triangle Bob.

Triangle Bob doesn't live here anymore, so, I think Mocko got a little frustrated and ended up just taking a vacuum cleaner that had a hat on it.

Oh, hold on, one second; my security system went off⏤oh, come on! Mocko's trying to replace my car tires with cheese wheels. Again.

Yeah, Tony? He's in the underground garage. OK, thanks.

Uh-oh, I'm in danger!
