i got a CT scan once and am a dumbass so the doctors and technicians might as well have been a superintelligent race

however instead of a treat i got a giant medical bill >:(

silly lil algae :3

(tbh it’s been a good decade since i was working on projects leading to publication. I’ve been stuck in manufacturing/industry hell. send help)

if someone cared enough about my research to even replicate it let alone disprove it I’d be losing my shit

Everyone in science I’ve ever met agrees there should be a Journal of Stuff That Didn’t Work

college instructor for Communication 101 went on several unprompted rants about how depression wasn’t real because it couldn’t be detected with brain scans

even though it, uh, absolutely can? also nobody asked you anyway dude???

Another way to remove oxygen from stored food to prevent rancidity is to make your own oxygen absorbers (rancidity is caused by oxygen oxidizing fats and other flavor compounds)

Which are literally just iron filings mixed with table salt in a gas permeable packet (coffee filter paper works great)

The salt is hygroscopic (absorbs water) and water + oxygen + iron turns into rust, which sequesters the oxygen

I make my own and put them in opened packages of nuts and seeds :]

As an update I have since started using standard gas as the manual recommends and think the performance might actually be better now

I use it in my 50cc motor scooter since it’s got a barely 1 gallon tank that lasts me ~2 weeks a fill, so the price difference is negligible

I figured the higher octane would make a noticeable difference since it’s such a small engine

But reading this thread I’m now thinking maybe I shouldn’t do this?

i majored in pipetting 💀

to be fair engaging in biowarfare is just about all that mold does

That’s the first book I ever encountered with an ending that made me angry.

i wonder how much of the Empathy for Cute Animals but Not Humans effect is due to not many people having bad experiences with cute animals but plenty of bad experiences with humans

I, however, have the unique privilege of having had a sister who owned a deranged rabbit that she let roam the house. I once woke up from a nap to it biting me hard enough to draw blood. That thing was a furry asshole.

What little unrepressed memories of Watership Down I have seem to corroborate that rabbits are surprisingly violent…

I’m mildly fascinated by diprosopus and found ye olde depictione of it on the wikipedia page

couldn’t you argue that’s the meddling sun and not the computer

oh god i’m so sorry guys i would have tried to tidy up a little if i knew you were coming over

i’d bet it’s entirely possible Samos can yell loud enough to knock an eyeball askew

my body

also has pressure sensitive pen support

A brown bear and polar bear case the joint from across the street, taking notes. Their black bear accomplice rejoins them with a gummy grin. “These idiots are a good mark. They don’t know to fight back!”
