  Or maybe viralness is just proportional to stupid and so the stupid ones simply get copied and reencoded lossily more.

  I have no idea of this person is expert enough to tell the difference, but there are loon species in Europe that sound pretty similar to the common loon.

  How do any of these sharks function without a cloaca?!?

  Katy is also kinda-sorta-not-really short for Kathleen. It’s short for Katherine.

  RFK jr?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, he’s just as unbelievable playing anyone with an average IQ.

  Seriously! When I put in an order for a plague, I don’t want to get sent an inadequately infectious one.

  I don’t understand the “drag off” part. They don’t eat them where they found them? Why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can tell what type a base pair is by listening to the tone it makes, but it’s very quiet so you need a stethoscope.

  If you hold the picture upside down the dna spirals the right way.

  Not a great day for having eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's get Physical⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What was that claim? And is there some equivalent of TLDR I can preemptively use about whatever news coverage contains this info which I don’t want to look up and wish to ignore if I eventually come across it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨electrostatic spider flight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But how common are windless conditions, really? It seems incredibly rare that there would be so little air movement that the effect of it wouldn’t far overwhelm the electrostatic effect. I’m no meteorologist, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama Proxima⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry I was being unecessary obnoxious. I just meant they could have written it saying “this could happen” rather than presenting it as “this will happen.”

  I’m just really triggered lately with everything online being exaggerated for clicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama Proxima⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The English language has words and grammar for speculation, “will” is not one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Words were considered slurs even before there were social consequences for using them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, those noods are practcally naked! Come to think of it, it’s that they are not quite naked that makes them so hot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Always include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

  It’s a fake photograph. It’s actually a woodcut cleverly done to mimic one. It’s quite good, you can hardly make out the crosshatching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly Big Invertabrate was behind this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When your brain explodes out your other ear, you don’t want to be getting any in your eyes. Also, its not a plug, it just ties them to the table so you don’t steal them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨rude.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Scientists have been known to be materialist.

  Gorm!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun bites⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Humerous rant or not it seems reasonable to assume its basic claims about the animal are factual. It seems really fucked up to make shit up about an animal in order to rant about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cursed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yes, and what it means for “there to be things” is a whole discussion in itself. But the concepts of space and time are rather deep and fundamental (to our mental models regardless of how or if that maps to objective reality). The preference for right angles is much less fundamental and we can see past and get over it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cursed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All this should tell us is that we have a strong irrational preference for right angles being aligned with each other.

  Could somebody point out where the safe rocks are?

  I would guess it’s to fool their prey.
