I was skeptical when I saw “Exciting bat news!!!” but it turns out that there was no exaggeration. This is exciting bat news!

Let’s go with “can’t understand,” as in, “she gave a satisfactory explanation of the gnepine hypothesis, and he can’t understand it.” Because, as you’ve pointed out, it doesn’t seem that hard, so maybe he should be crying as she leaves

Friend of mine used to work for a 24-hour big box store in Michigan. He was working an evening shift when two college kids came through his lane with trash bags, a container of vaseline, and a bottle of vodka. They didn’t even spring for the goggles!

This only gets funnier every time I see it. Anybody got a line on some small, glow in the dark dinosaurs?

This post is causing some serious flashback to that asshole labmate who wouldn’t allow the phase contrast scope used for endospore counts to be serviced because he, the one out four who used it, “liked it better this way.” Just fucking do the proper maintenance on your goddamn equipment, this doesn’t need to be hard!

I went through this scenario reading that piece on new ways of calculating pi. Did you see that? Pretty cool nerd fact.

Ngl, I’m straight up excited to see what kinds of innovations we see for exploring the oceans with all the new energy and storage tech we’re developing. On the one hand, we’re doing it because we’re facing an ecological hellscape; on the other, it’s really exciting to be one of the people who gets to see what we do and where we take it!
- Comment on Cute 2 months ago:
That’s a really fair concern. I hope I get to go there someday, and I’m looking forward to doing it with an eye towards good ecological stewardship and responsibility. And not in a floating petri dish, I’m a straight up germaphobe

I am definitely wearing striped thigh highs when I meet a god so we can be sock twins
- Comment on Programmer Socks!! 2 months ago:
Hell yes. These socks go anywhere: stay home where the wood(like) floor is at, you get to speed skate and drift the corners all day long on your way to the kitchen. Someone calls you up and wants to go out, you just need a cute dress and some patent leather shoes. Shit is awesome

This is an example of the type of tongue-replacing creature you found, not necessarily the same species.
So that’s a fun twofer: you know a possible name for what you saw, and you know that a parasite replacing a host’s organ is one of nature’s fun survival strategies!
