The immaculate conception wasn’t Mary conceiving Jesus as a virgin, it was Mary being conceived without original sin.
Common mis-conception
- Comment on [Video] Cleaning airplane windows with sprite 2 weeks ago:
They open inwards so it’s nearly impossible while the cockpit is pressurized. And if the windshield is iced over or something the pilots can open these windows to land.

Yeah, the area around the hole had marks from the drill bit slipping and it was haphazardly patched and hidden.
- Comment on be gay, do crimes (in space) 4 weeks ago:
There was also the hole drilled in the ISS. AFAIK, nobody was ever held responsible but it was definitely vandalism at least.

Ten seconds of signaling is insane. If you have the room, put on the blinker, change lanes safely, then turn it off.
That’s a quarter mile at freeway speed and more than an average block in the city. You might as well just keep it on the entire time you’re driving since nobody will know what you’re signaling.

That’s absolutely not true. It’s a clever backronym, but not the origin of the term.

That’s kind of a myth. Musa and the Mali empire were certainly wealthy for the time but you can’t really compare an emperor in the 14th century with a modern oligarch.
Musa liked to boast about his wealth at every opportunity. Like, he would tell people that gold grows like a plant in Mali while he threw gold bars at them. And all the reports of his immense wealth come from the people he encountered on his pilgrimage.
The amount of gold he brought (18 tons!) would be worth about $1.5B today. That was likely all of the gold the empire had collected during his reign. And it wasn’t technically his, it belonged to the empire.
The price of gold in Egypt dropped by about 15%, which was a lot but well within normal fluctuations. He also ran out of gold on the return trip and had to beg for loans which he never repaid.
