\n** Perhaps they do share a world if you take the CN City bumpers at face value, or perhaps, with all their offhand comments about their scripts, their animators, and occasional plot lampshading, everyone with a show at CN at the time knew each other as cartoon actors and stars of their own show in the same spirit as Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Poker Night At The Inventory. Somewhere, Ed is hanging out with Billy on a weekend either because they know each other or they're literally just off work.

*** Going more into that one, Sarah and Eddy are also rather narcissistic, and narcissists want to hold a positive image that is devoid of their character flaws. Sarah probably wants more people to SEE her as a sweet loving little girl, and the boomerang removed her bratty attitude to give her this trait. As for Eddy on the other hand, I don't know why he'd want his macho persona to make a 180 in the first place, but perhaps he's always had underlying insecurities that even HE doesn't know how to fix (again narcissism DOES emotionally screw with people to a certain extent).

* Did the events in "The Eds Are Coming"/ CN Invaded actually happen?

*** If "The Grim Adventures of the KND" is to be believed, the show does share the same universe as ''Billy and Mandy''. Which means it also co-exists with ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNext''. But of course, it could've just been a quick gag. So it's non-canon until proven otherwise.

* All throughout the series, every character goes through various amounts of pain (not slapstick-- ''actual pain'') that seems impossible to achieve anywhere outside this universe. Considering that the Cul-de-Sac doesn't have a hospital, how are these kids ''surviving'' the pain they go through without permanent scars all over their bodies, broken bones, or '''''death?!'''''
* The Eds have caused tons of property destruction over the course of the series. Just who or what is paying for all the damage?
* In "Dueling Eds", Eddy loses some of his teeth during his battle with Rolf, but has all of them when Rolf gives him and his friends the Eels of Forgiveness.
* In "A Twist of Ed", after Ed eats his mattress, in the shot where Edd shows his concern for Ed's digestive tract, you can clearly see the mattress behind him.

** I like to think that the junkyard is one of the few places Edd's comfortable to be at for the sheer usefulness and scientific/engineering interest, just pop some gloves on and bring some disinfectant spray (which we know he tends to carry around most of the time anyways) and he’ll be glad to dig up some wood, cardboard and metal parts for a scam or gadget. Plus, most of the kids don’t go there without a reason and the Eds claimed a broken down van as a hangout spot, so it’s probably also doubles as a safe location to chill with his friends.

* Considering how extremely TerrifiedOfGerms he is, why does he hang out with the other Eds in the junkyard so often? Granted, he follows them in many scams he doesn't really enjoy, but usually he complains about it and might even make attempts to stop the others. Why does he never complain about the junkyard?

***To answer a point about the school, it's possible that Jr High has the school campus specifically for Sarah and Jimmy's age range on their campus and so those two attend regular classes in those but go to the main building for any electives.

** Because Ed is their friend, and friends do stuff together, even if that may result in failure. Eddy and Double D need all the help they can get to carry out their scams, and Ed is arguably the strongest kid in the neighborhood, so he provides the muscle necessary for their schemes. Ed is actually vital for a lot of scams. If they didn't include Ed, some of their projects would probably never be realized at all.

* So, why do Eddy and Edd allow Ed to participate in scams? Given how often Ed has caused a scam's failure such as being a naked turkey in "Ed Pass It On", his imaginary friend Jib in "Who Let the Ed In", arguing with Edd in "Thick as an Ed", and everything he did in "Rent a Ed" as well as his failure to create a profitable scam in "It Came From Outer Ed", it does make one wonder if Eddy and Edd would truly be better off if they didn't include Ed in their scams and why he's included in them at all.

** Double D enjoys hanging out with Ed and Eddy probably because without those two, his life would be a lot more dull. Sure he wouldn't get beaten up but Double D genuinely enjoys the scams even if he has moral objections. He gets to test his inventions as well.
