>ATP is an energy-rich compound
Why do they say this?
Assume a daily energy expenditure of 8 MJ. One would need to eat about 0.2 kg of fat or 0.5 kg of carbs to get that. But it takes about 70 kg of ATP to get the same amount of energy.

Probably you just read a bad description.
Fat and sugars are definitely more energy dense.
However, lipids and carbohydrates have to be broken down into ATP to be usable.
All 3 molecules are great for managing energy. The difference is mainly about energy density and availability.

Many biochem books and wikipedia states that ATP contains much energy.

Why is god not allowed to exist, but dark matter and a shitload of quantum physics are? Believing in dark matter is what you would equate to believing in god, because while I believe god exists and cannot be proven, you believe dark matter exists despite not being proven. But, of course, you have to be right, and I have to be wrong.

Does cracking knuckles cause any negative long-term effects? I've been cracking since i was 10 or so and I just noticed that with a closed fist, my middle finger knuckle isn't aligned with the other knuckles.

"Cracking knuckles causes them to get bigger over time" is a popular myth.
Cracking knuckles help release air bubbles around your joints (that is the sound you hear). It doesn't cause any long term negative effects.

When did you realise that 90 % of capital E Education is pure pointless trash? I'm not saying it's always indoctrination, but it is pure trash.
To start with higher education, my engineering degree was just introductory mathematics / physics / chemistry courses along with a load of wagecuck stamp collecting engineering courses. The only intellectually worthwhile degrees are mathematics or physics. Everything else is stamp collecting.
Critical thinking is simply asking questions and rigour is lack of errors. These don't require degrees to teach.
Everything in secondary school was stamp collecting nonsense. Anyone who says [fact X / set of facts] should be taught just wants kids to be indoctrinated or is a tard. Even science is mostly taught in an overly stamp collecty way.
Primary school is probably widely accepted as worthless. Neither of my parents has English as a first language but I was way ahead of the spelling / writing standards from day 1.
I was very lucky that I was interested enough to get good grades in secondary school, otherwise I'd have been thrown on to the trash heap of society.
I could go on and complain in other ways. Scientism is rampant. Pseudo intellectuals everywhere worship psychiatry, claim that literary quality is objective while failing to ask what objectivity means. My degree was from a lower ranked university so it had a shit standard of courses with awful dumb normie students (I only went because it was the nearest to my house). I have profoundly wasted my time.

I think I'm in your situation OP. I go to a state school that's close to me and all the classes are so easy they make me want to kms.
Currently doing accounting but even that's not that hard and most of the classes for the major are stamp collecting shit
What do I do? Switch to STEM before it's too late?

Why is information so expensive?
Books are terribly costly. My course book is $175.
Many articles cannot be accessed by my uni. Few pages costs about $35.

The US education system is not for educating but to make money. It's a money machine.
In Europe f.e. you don't need to spend that amount in any way. In my University we get even the math books as ebooks for free mostly or have a huge library with 10-80 pieces of each we can take over the semester.
I don't envy US students in any way.

many of my classes charge $100+ just for the pass needed to do fucking online homework

What precisely is an angle??
The problem is that defining an angle correctly requires calculus. This is a point implicit in Archimedes’ derivation of the length of the circumference of a circle, using an infinite sequence of successively refined approximations with regular polygons. It is also supported by the fact that The Elements [Euclid] does not try to measure angles, with the exception of right angles and some related special cases. Further evidence can be found in the universal reluctance of traditional texts to spell out a clear definition of this supposedly ‘basic’ concept
