Naegleria fowleri, the goddamn brain-eating amoeba, is goddamn everywhere and I goddamn hate knowing that.

I looked it up and wow, that’s crazy. Messi is basically naturally domesticated. If the medical conditions are genetic, he could be the start of a lineage of house pumas.

Read-onlys be like while upvoting

I Binged it on DuckDuckGo and got really interesting results about gender differences in blood plasma.

The base pairs are off and that irritates me more than the art - at least that has the excuse of being evocative or something.

I used to do that too! But living in Eastern Europe, our shampoo bottles had like twenty languages. I didn’t manage to learn any, but I did develop a sense of how closely related they were.

Microplastics!

Charmeleon! Wartortle,

Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl,

Omanyte, Slowpoke…

That’s all I’ve got. I will shed a single tear in remembrance of happier days.

Damn this one’s good, I only noticed when scrolling back up.

Another clue it isn’t Quebec is that Quebec wouldn’t bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.

You know what, the high arctic probably looks similar to that prehistoric moss-covered landscape. Because moss is pretty much the only thing that can survive there (and some very small plants).

The joke would have worked a lot better if Larry’s friends were different shapes. There’s no visual reason why Larry is the only one that can act as the key.

When you do, please post a picture of her expression so we can compare with the fox’s.

No scholar would ever tell anyone else to become a scholar. More like “Run! Run while you can! Get away from this cursed existence!”

Gotta love oligotrophy. Some lichens grow inside rocks… definitely can’t replicate that in a lab (although not for lack of trying).

That’s because the cost of living is a bitch. We may make 5x more but our bills might be 7x more than yours, so overall we’re worse off.

I’m late to the thread but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for taking the time to write it all up! You’ve helped me understand a few things about abjads, which makes the original post even more hilarious.

What is your professional opinion on decimal feet? I had to use such a measuring tape at work, it took me half a day to figure out what was going on with that abomination.

Edit: to clarify, feet were divided in 10 units, not 12, so one and a half feet was at the “5” mark between 1 and 2 ft, not the “6” mark.

These sets of concentric shells contain a thin layer of positive mass tucked inside an outer layer of negative mass.

So how much evidence is there for negative mass, then? Sounds like just replacing one unknown with another.

It would be kind of nostalgic. Like the discussion forums of yore, where signatures were the place to shove quotes, statistics, awards, maybe a gif or two.
