Huh, so Jesus was crucified in the pokemon universe. I wonder if one helped the Romans do it.

I refuse to believe medieval people could build cathedrals. They lacked modern tools for such precise masonry and glasswork.

I like the saying “Fahrenheit is what you feel, Celsius is what water feels, and Kelvin is what the universe feels”.

Now a few of them have photos of flowers, but for a while I could scroll down like 50 of those things and they were all photos of my dog set to terrible autogenerated music. AI is the future.

I never knew the mechanism of action, but I’ve seen a llama spit in a surgical wound which then healed much quicker than it should have.

The temperature of LHS 1140 is 3,096 K (2,823 °C; 5,113 °F), and it has a luminosity of 0.0038 times that of the Sun

For comparison, the Sun is 1 solar mass and radius, has a temperature of 5778 K with 1 solar luminosity

The orbit of LHS 1140 b takes 24.737 days to complete, much quicker than Earth’s year of 365 days. Its orbital radius is at 0.0946 AU, or 9.46% the distance between Earth and the Sun. While this is quite close, the star LHS 1140 is so dim that the planet only gets 0.43 times the incident flux of Earth at this distance.[2] Assuming an albedo of 0, LHS 1140 b has an equilibrium temperature of 230 K (−43 °C; −46 °F), compared to Earth’s at 255 K (−18 °C; −1 °F). If LHS 1140 b has an albedo similar to that of Earth, the equilibrium temperature would be even lower, at 201 K (−72 °C; −98 °F). However, with a greenhouse effect at least as strong as Earth’s LHS 1140 b would have a surface temperature greater than 266 K (−7 °C; 19 °F) for an albedo of 0. Due to the high mass of the planet, it likely has a thicker atmosphere with a more powerful greenhouse effect.

It’s neat that it’s still potentially habitable with such different solar conditions.

If chess made you smarter, every Paradox grand strategy game player would be a genius. Victoria 3 is much more intricate.

I can only imagine how many useful genes that saves.

My magic rocks do something. Trust me. Crystals and turquoise are for rubes but this magic rock is named after a planetoid so it has special energy. Buy these very expensive magic rocks instead of the cheaper ones at the woo store.

The Magic School Bus was from a time before woke pollution. I fondly remember every episode ending with the class yelling at the Latino student.

Can’t do this anymore. Not since teaching became “woke”.

Local raw materials such as quartz were employed at Mumba, although a small proportion of obsidian was recognized, originating from the Lake Naivasha basin in Kenya some 320 km away, which suggests that long-distance exchange networks between human groups already existed in this period.

That’s super neat. I wonder what those trade networks were like.

My SECRET diet for MASSIVE GAINS doctors DON’T want you to know about. For only $300, I’ll introduce YOU to the Gallon of Shrimp Juice per Day Lifestyle.

In addition to what Darth_Reagan said, it’s for pest control as well. By keeping a plant in the field for more than one season, you provide a food source for pests whose parents went there to feed the previous one. Some diseases only impact certain crops and can stick around in the dead matter only to attack your vulnerable new plants.

It always seemed weird to me that it would be formally developed so late. Like I’ve taken multiple trigonometry courses and can’t even define trigonometry let alone make sense of most of it, but the Pythagorean theorem is a purely intuitive thing everyone does regularly. The first person to take a diagonal shortcut while walking understood it. It should have been the first thing mathematics codified after basic arithmetic.

If anything they look the neatest as a plant: https://i.imgur.com/DyqeN2c.jpeg

even if you’re a history geek?

Or tell him he’s the Lord of the Flies for being a Hemiptera expert and see what he does.
