  Hmmm, no. Not a dung beetle at least, it was an European mole cricket, cool dude, I still don’t know where he was trying to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🍺 🍻⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even when they pretend to have 6?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MDs please verify.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wholey shit! I had no idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wtf is that⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The first time I saw a flowering lettuce it was expected and surprising at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOLO⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That was the part I understood, it is the other one that I didn’t fully understand and I’m not sure if I want to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't stop till brimstone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Salt (sodium) messes with the ability of plants to absorb certain nutrients from the soil, so if that soil wasn’t very rich to begin with it can easily starve whatever is nearby.

  I personally tried to kill weeds with salt in certain spots of my backyard and failed because it has plenty of nutrients and good drainage and salt doesn’t last long after a couple rains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't stop till brimstone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, salt is not toxic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly wtf?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, those charred capsules might have been something else. Now I want to look at the other paper to see if there any pictures

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly wtf?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bear in mind that it was a small dose.

  It’s hard to describe, my best shot would be a bit like vertigo but without any of the motion sickness. I had a sensation that what I was seeing wasn’t entirely right while everything was perfectly normal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly wtf?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was what I thought until I reached this citation.

  Charred capsules of Datura stramonium were recovered in a Middle Bronze Age ritual pit at Prats, Andorra, ca. 1600 BCE103

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly wtf?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried stramonium a couple times by smoking some seeds, I would describe it as unpleasant enough to not bother again, in the just not worth it category.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*confused flatfish noises*⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They need them to spit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨magic recovery⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if it got translated to many languages, growing up in Spain I never heard of him. Over here we got Beakman’s World.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oechslegrad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was Brix, in retrospect, 45° brix is absurdly high for any fruit juice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oechslegrad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  After googling a little I learned that the scale we used is called Brix. One of my tasks in the winery was to take samples of grape juice and register the sugar content using a refractometer similar to the one on the picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oechslegrad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I was using a different scale when I worked at the winery. Never saw anything above 20.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oechslegrad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty high for grapes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fragile masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t grow anything, whatever is in my backyard grows by itself, I just go out there from time to time and forage the useful stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you friends with any AI bots?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been curious about running LLMs locally. Mostly about how long it takes to return a response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't let your pets go to waste⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angels 🥹⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my town in the summer, there’s a spot where just after sunset you can see the flocks of swallows retreating from the fields while flocks of bats arrive from the other side. It is cool to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angels 🥹⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ratpenat in Catalan, winged rat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angels 🥹⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I my language they are called “ratapinyada” or “ratpenat” from the latin for winged rat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨for future fireflies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about the insect population in my backyard but I do know that it is a safe haven for wall lizards, they don’t even hide anymore when I’m there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ANTI PEE PAINT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does that really work? I get the impression that people would go pee on that wall just to see it bounce.

  So that’s why I’ve never seen one!
