I usually have this with movies, when I want to quickly find something and sit down to watch it right away. If it’s about games, then I don’t have such a variety that it would be difficult for me to choose from. Now I play Duck dice, which has become a great leisure solution for me. Even if you are skeptical about gambling, I recommend giving these crypto dice a try.

Sometimes I want to play something, but until I find an option that suits me, I'll waste a lot of time, get angry and lose all desire to do it further.

I was thinking a gorilla could fly an ultralight, but if there is a human aboard it is carrying a passenger (thus not an ultralight), and if there is no human aboard it's an unmanned aircraft (thus not an ultralight).

After careful research, I've found two circumstances in which gorillas can fly within the US:

1) in a dual control aircraft with a certified flight instructor.
2) with special exemption from the Secretary of Transportation under 49 U.S.C. §44807, waiving pilot certification requirements for unmanned aircraft over 55 pounds loaded.

Any other flying requires some level of certification or license, which universally requires the ability to speak English.

If it helps, in highschool a teacher insisted to me that it was impossible to scream underwater, and that even if one could, the sound wouldn't be audible by other people underwater. (o~o)

It seems obvious enough, but I've had a professor hit me with a [citation needed] on this. I'm still upset that I had to find proof that "people have recognizable voices."
Maybe your professor has the voice equivalent of prosopagnosia (= face blindness) [Edit: the voice equivalent is called Phonagnosia], and wants to make sure you're not bullshitting him :P

Just because the behavior hasn't been observed doesn't mean that it isn't possible. Case in point: the slow loris was discovered to be venomous only in 1990, even though the folklore had said so for centuries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_loris#Venom

"...gorillas are regarded as specialized terrestrial folivores..."
Emphasis mine

I'm really struggling to think of an example that isn't counterfactual.

Are you making the assumption that gorillas belong to an extant vertebrate taxa? Citation needed.
