Most fish have teeth, actually.

In case you didn’t know, diorite is a real type rock as well that is similar to granite.

The composting part is relatively easy, it’s the collection system that I’m having the problem with. I mean, the way you’re describing it now almost makes it sound like you want people to poop directly into buckets and hand it off to their neighborhood compost collection service. If all you’re proposing is that Congress gives more money to city governments to upgrade their outdated systems more quickly, then that’s perfectly fine with me, it just comes across to me more like wishful thinking than an actual plan.

Of course it is, but what’s your method to achieving that goal and what does composting human waste have to do with it?

Perhaps I’m just not understanding you, but how does composting treated sewage fix the problem of dumping raw sewage into the water before it ever reaches the treatment plant?

The reason for the dumping of raw sewage is because these cities have older infrastructure which combines wastewater and storm water collection into one system. Heavy rains can increase the flow rate in such systems by as much as ten times their usual rate, which is far too much for treatment plants to handle without massively oversizing them and it also could make them lose the microbiology that treats the wastewater for them. Diverting this sewage directly into the receiving waters actually prevents even worse public health problems from occurring.

Another problem with what you are proposing is that, while composting can be good enough to get rid of pathogens, it’s not good enough to remove things like pharmaceuticals and heavy metals. Incineration would be a more effective solution, but it requires even higher upfront costs.

You know how telescopes often use glass lenses to bend light into your eye? A gravitational lens is just a naturally occurring telescope, except that the gravity of a large object is the one bending the light towards us. From what I understand, an Einstein lens is just a gravitational lens where the elements for the lens sit in a particularly good setup.

Tardigrades are effectively invisible to the naked eye, so it might be rather disappointing.

Why would we need such a strong sensitivity to it?

Same, I block communities but have yet to block a person.

6,000 to 12,000 years old is what I heard. I’m guessing that this “Christians Against Science” page is a joke community that is making fun of YECs by saying it’s 4,000.

You are 100% correct.

While “psych” is technically correct, the worst kind of correct, my preference would be to spell it “syke.” “Psych” and “sike” just don’t have enough meme energy to them and could be more easily misinterpreted as meaning something else.

Mango juice is legitimately too sweet for me.

I believe you are looking for hydrostatic equilibrium. There don’t seem to be good answers for this online, but according to Robert Black on this Quora post:

There isn’t a minimium per se but the generally accepted number for a mass to form into a sphere under its own gravity is 1/10,000th the mass of the Earth or 600 quintillion kg. As for size, it really depends on the composition of the body. The numbers are generally accepted to have a diameter of about 600km for a rocky body.

A quintillion is 1 x 10 to the 18th and Phobos has a mass of 1.0659 x 10 to the 16th kilograms and a diameter of 22 kilometers.

This meme is making these different disciplines answer questions they were never intended to answer. It’s like complaining that a school principal isn’t out there teaching students: that’s not their role and it would be silly to expect them to do otherwise.

Philosophers would ask something like, “what is a cat?”

Metaphysicians would ask something like, “how can we know that the cat truly exists?”

Theologians would ask something like, “what does the Bible say about cats?”

“Fireballs and bolides are astronomical terms for exceptionally bright meteors that are spectacular enough to to be seen over a very wide area. … A fireball is an unusually bright meteor that reaches a visual magnitude of -3 or brighter when seen at the observer’s zenith. … Fireballs that explode in the atmosphere are technically referred to as bolides although the terms fireballs and bolides are often used interchangeably.”
