Bonus fun fact: part of the reason for their success might be that one of the local police informants was … Stalin.

Postulated that humans are eusocial creatures similar to ants, termites, seahorses, and naked mole rats because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.
Source? Eusociality does not involve any sort of ‘hierarchical pecking order’. The requirements are co-operative childcare, overlapping generations and division of labour.

It is possible that there exist a few Indians with the name Pajeet, but it is definitely not a common name here. I’ve never met a Pajeet.

There are algae in the ocean. The problem with ocean algae is not that they aren’t there, but that their requirements (sunlight, oxygen, acidity, temperature, etc.) prevent them from expanding any further.

There are places with no native trees. A majority of the earth’s land area is naturally treeless.

Legendary mad scientist. Does stuff that’s obviously unethical but not illegal (yet), gets caught, the authorities patch the law, and then he moves on to new mad science. Once went to jail for editing a baby’s genome.
- Comment on Anti-acknowlegements 5 months ago:
a physical chemistry experiment will have 1000 data points per trend line; I organic chemistry will have 10 data points, and biochem will have 2 data points.
There is an element of truth in this, but that one biochem datapoint probably took more money and (wo)manpower than a hundred phys chem datapoints. Which is sad, because biological systems are usually more complex, and therefore more ‘noisy’, needing more datapoints for a definitive result. Medical studies get a lot of datapoints for obvious reasons, and because they can afford to do it thanks to Merck et al.

Different social animals have different social structures. Wolves generally live in family units, led by the parents. Wasps and gorillas have complicated group politics, with alliances, betrayals and backroom deals. Some primitive ants have a ‘might is right’ system, with the strongest becoming the queen and fighting off challengers. Most ants have a highly democratic system, with decisions made using chemical ‘votes’ (cast by the workers; drones and queens don’t have a say).

You can’t generate helium unless you have a fusion reactor.
Actually, nuclear powered flying T. rex sounds cool, so let’s go with it.

Not a mathematician, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t necessarily true. What if L is -1 and f(x) = x^2? Also I think your function has to be continuous.

I see. I’ve only used ethanol for disinfection, and it was always methylated.

That’s usually methylated spirit. It probably won’t kill you, but you’ll lose your vision.
