He meant “lost it” as in outran a pursuer? (I thought lost it as in “the thing is broken” at first).

Yup, that should also keep the greens safe a while longer!
Oh, paper towels, what can’t you do?
- Comment on YSK: A single piece of paper towel can double the life of your leafy greens in the fridge. 1 week ago:
I did a Google search and the recommendation is to put the paper towel over the mouth of the recipient the greens are in, or just shoved in the bag with them if that’s where they are.
OP seems to be mass-copying LPTs from someredditwhere or something.

I see… TIL, thanks.

You mean because Twitter is an SMS-based messaging app?.. The character limits are arbitrary, not a technical limitation. Which is why they doubled them at one point, I believe.
The limits were meant to act as a micro-blogging enforcement measure, for micro attention spans.

- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s propaganda. The music and the ads too are just trying to do a “fellow kids” move, and that’s what they’re seeing. Because that’s what we’ve become.
It’s like seeing a mirror and getting spooked by how disheveled the person in it looks.

Water does clump up overnight in some places, but you’d need to set the WD-40 on fire for it to make a difference.
- Comment on Natural selection at work 2 months ago:
The common ancestor that links whales and deer existed millions of years ago and exhibited features shared by both groups. This ancestor likely possessed basic artiodactyl characteristics, such as an even number of toes on each foot and a certain bone structure within the ear. Over time, as these creatures diverged to inhabit distinct environments, their physical traits adapted accordingly. Despite these differences, the underlying genetic similarities persist, revealing their deep-rooted connection.

This is not like a falling kid problem…
If he had more than 0.5 seconds to move the kid he could have done so without severely hurting him. On the other hand, if he had less than 0.5 seconds he’s now killed everyone on the train.

I… I don’t understand what the joke is here. Not even the explainxkcd mentions any kind of humor outside of the alt text. What am I missing?

Symptoms of [nitrite] poisoning can vary depending on the amount and duration of the exposure. Those with very mild methemoglobinemia might not have any symptoms at all, or might appear a little pale and feel tired. Moderate-to-severe poisoning is associated with cyanosis (blueness of the skin), confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, and death.
It’s it supposed to be special in some way?

Since I didn’t know:
“Parasocial” refers to a relationship or connection felt by a person towards someone they do not know personally, typically a celebrity, character in a media, or public figure. This relationship is one-sided, meaning the other person is unaware of the connection.
- Comment on Jayant Narlikar, the Indian scientist who challenged the Big Bang theory, dies at 86 5 months ago:
His theory was the Hoyle–Narlikar theory of gravity.
Unfortunately:
the quasi steady-state hypothesis is challenged by observation as it does not fit into WMAP data.
- Comment on Color-correcting algorithm removes the effect of water in underwater scenes 5 months ago:
I get the impression this is a video-only thing because you need multiple vantage points of the scene. You can still extract a single frame in the end of course (like the article itself does), but you’ll need to shift around meaningful distances, like attack submarines do with Target Motion Analysis.

- Comment on The most powerful laser in the US recently produced 2 quadrillion watts of power 5 months ago:
So 25 attoseconds… That is impressive. The power record holder right now is the Măgurele laser in Romania, at 10 PW, but it lasts a thousand times longer, at 25 femtoseconds I believe.
