  Beautifully said! I was going to say something along the lines of science is the belief/ trust in man, while religion is the belief/ trust in a deity but I believe this is better.

  I HATE Lost Boy by Ruth G.

  I don’t know if I fully understand why but I’m pretty sure it’s a lyrical issue. Like something about the rhyme scheme or flow of lines just gives me really intense “I’m in 4th grade and writing my first poem ever” vibes.

  The music itself probably also bothers me but I don’t know music theory well enough to pinpoint why. Musically does it also sound like someones very first attempt at song writing? Or does it sound better than that which then makes the terrible lyrics really stand out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any strategies for guessing a passphrase that I am missing one word of?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what the best system would be but is the phrase something that makes sense? Like, if the phrase was “there is no god here” and you had “t__ is no god here” there aren’t that many words that fit.

  Also do you have an unlimited number of guesses or will it lock you out at some point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do dinosaurs have big heads and tiny arms?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone will likely chime in with a more complete answer but the short answer is large therapods had big heads because they needed big strong heads for killing big strong prey.

  If a stronger bite results in more successful kills, that creates a selective pressure towards the individuals with stronger bites. Weak bite dinosaurs die. Strong bite dinosaurs live.

  To get a stronger bite, you need a lot of features. (Ex. more muscles, different structural elements) and this generally leads to heads getting bigger because big heads have more places for muscles and will then bite harder. Plus, bigger heads can bite bigger things (like, bigger necks).

  The opposite is true for the tiny arms. The arms are not tiny because it’s beneficial for them to be that small. They’re tiny because there’s no reason for them to be big.

  If you have two individuals. They both have big powerful legs, and big powerful heads but one also has thick ole arms. If those arms don’t provide any advantage to the individual, then they just cost energy, and put that individual at a disadvantage because they spent energy on arms while the other guy did just as well without them.

  There is a much better, much more science-y answer to this too but I hope this helps in a more basic sense.

  And I bet there are some cool YouTube videos and such on this exact thing if you want to do further research.
