  That was Revelations, which was written far after anyone who ever saw Jesus would have died, and describes Jesus’ divine form. The only gospel that describes anything about him was about a transformation. “His face shown like the sun,” but that is in Luke, so between 50 and 80 years after his purported death, and continued to be edited throughout the second century. So essentially it’s all made up and none of it matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question: What mineral/compound do modern arthropods use for their eyes (vs. Trilobites with their calcite lenses)?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems to be easier focusing with the calcite as well as durability in the scratchy sand environment.

  Additionally, more derived/later species had aspherical lenses to compensate for the spherical aberration and dual layer organic→calcite lenses to allow for more of a refractive gradient to counteract the double imaging of calcite alone.

  Modern arthropods probably done use it on land because of an inability to accumulate it in an efficient manner. Water arthropods like crustaceans probably done because it’s metabolically expensive to do these things when chitin alone can make for useful eyes.

  Evolution is more of a “good enough” kinda situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question: What mineral/compound do modern arthropods use for their eyes (vs. Trilobites with their calcite lenses)?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From my searching, it would seem that trilobites used calcite to reinforce their hard parts as well. Crustaceans have amorphous calcium carbonate reinforced exoskeletons through mineralization, but no calcite land arthropods do not seem to have this mineralization tho.

  I’m no expert. Just like using Google Scholar to answer questions I find interesting.

  Because you can study not just the effects of the supplement, but also what kind of microbes are contributing to the types of odors. This study actually seems relatively decent I think.

  Let’s all ban steaks because children might choke on them for not knowing how to properly cut them!!!¡!!!

  Jesus fucking Christ. Just pay attention to your goddamn children and talk to them. Listen to them. They are no one else’s but your own. And if you didn’t want to care for them, you shouldn’t have had them. And if it was a mistake, abort or adopt them out.

  They are neither slaves nor toys. They are just little humans that want to learn and grow up to be big humans. Teach them.
