These are the same people that believed in spontaneous generation - that life just popped into existence from nonliving matter, such as dirt, grain, or dirty clothing. It wasn’t considered fully disproven until the 19th century.

As uneducated as many people are now, they’re practically savants compared to your average person just 200 years ago.

Same, but their hair is so dense it can rot if it gets too wet. Maybe quarter density chinchilla hair.

Chimp fur is quite coarse and awfully similar to thick, dense human body hair. I’d prefer something softer, like cat hair, but not chinchilla hair. That is too high maintenance.

A picture adds the missing context that the meme leans into to make this seem more awful than it is.

The bone isn’t broken as if it was cracked in half and the jagged shards protrude from the skin. The tips of the toe bones are sharp points, held in place inside by a tiny “claw rest”’ bone at the end. The frog flexes a muscle, the bone breaks free from the bony rest, and the sharp tips protrude through the toe pads.

Edit: actually including the picture helps.

Something tells me it’s a bot that reposts popular Reddit memes.

Hey now, if you can tell me how light travels between two points without being facilitated by an entirely undetectable medium, I’m ALL ears.

JFC, how many times do I need to explain the workings of luminiferous aether?

Serious time: we actually did briefly learn about all types of debunked theories in university, but as a component of the historical progression of contemporary theories.

Haha, 100%. I’m a scientist, I haven’t believed in phlogiston in years!

Those are stir bars.

That they’re magnetic is propaganda to push magnetic field bunk to sell more so-called “magnets”. Stir bars are moved by phlogiston, which is why the liquid medium is often heated in tandem.

It’s a CT (computerized tomography) scan. It still uses X-rays but the results are in 3D so one can view “slices” of the image from different perspectives.

The cartilage connecting the sternum to the ribs is in the same plane as the edge of the spine. Cartilage is radiolucent (doesn’t show well in X-rays) so that’s why there’s only the slightest hint of a ribcage - this slice is well past rib bone.

Similarly the shoulder is much closer to the viewer’s perspective in the 3d model, so it’s not shown at all.

Great explanation, well done!

Doing this in the theater was awesome, but it was difficult getting a responsible sober person to shepherd a group of people tripping balls safely there and back. That’s a much harder job than many people realize.

OMG this is great. Thanks for the recommendation!

It’s also not necessarily indicative of anything. $100M is nothing for Zuckerberg, about 0.05% of his estimated net worth.

For context, excluding billionaires, your average 42 year old American (Zuckerberg’s age) is worth about $135k*. 0.05% of $135k is about $68.

Given the choice, would you spend $68 to completely cover you just in case the world falls apart? Most people would. I certainly would.

*That still includes some pretty wealthy people that skew it higher, so don’t feel bad if you’re not even close in net worth. I’m sure not!

It’s also a great game if you like solving complicated puzzles. Last I knew, there are some that are still unsolved.

If you average the cost range, you’re spending around $65,000 on nuggets monthly.

If 0.13% is equivalent to $1,400 in lost sales, then your store would sell $65K of nuggets for $1,076,923.

That’s ~16.6 times the original price. Considering most restaurants operate at around a 3-4x markup, that’s huge!

Pretty much. My grandmother made something called tater tot casserole: a mix of ground beef, frozen tater tots, canned beans, and mystery spices that went stale sometime in the last ice age. This was covered with about half a kilo of cheese and baked until a point she couldn’t quite articulate but “just knew”.

If you have legionella in your hot water, the issue isn’t going to come from drinking it, but inhaling it when you shower. As long as you don’t have a dead leg in your water system or a circuit that stagnates for long periods of time, legionella is pretty much a non-issue in the vast majority of homes, even older homes.

Extra tasty ham loaf… as opposed to a regularly tasty ham loaf? Huh.

I had an elderly aunt that made “oyster stew” on special occasions. The recipe was as follows:

One gallon of 2% milk
One 16 oz. jar raw oysters with juice
Salt and pepper to taste

That’s literally all that was in it. She’d mix it together, heat until steaming, then serve. Just a big pot of hot, oyster scented, salty milk, served with oyster crackers. Everyone hated it and none of her children carried on the tradition.

That recipe deserved to die.

Edit: oops, broken line breaks.
