- Comment on Penis Party 1 week ago:
In Dora: A Case History, Freud assumes that the teenage daughter’s reaction to being used as a bargaining chip by her dad so he can pursue an affair with his colleague’s wife is the product of some deep-seated mental illness.
- Comment on Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table? 1 week ago:
This collapse generates a body of neutron-removed matter with a radius as small as 10 km, but a mass comparable to our Sun’s. As such, they are the densest known material outside of Twitter, at around 1017 kg/m3. For American readers unfamiliar with SI units, that means a pair of truck-nuts made of neutron star would weigh as much as ten million aircraft carriers.

Mycologists are fine, it’s the fan club that gets weird.
- Comment on All while the skeletal, crumbling, dusty bones of an econ major pulls business backwards into hell. 5 weeks ago:
We gotta have an economy to function as a society but rub of economics in the West is that if it acknowledged why the economy functions the way it does, it would be peeling the facade off our supposedly democratic system of governance and folks would start taking a much keener interest in why wealth is getting so concentrated. We can’t have that, so instead we get increasingly elaborate versions of economic Lamarckism and the field’s Darwins are ostracized as cranks. specter

Any explanation for why there was similar convergent evolution toward goofy names? C’mon, numbat, mongoose, sloth bear, aardvark, pangolin, echidna? No way that’s coincidence.

Okay but I want to know where they got that stovetop alembic from. Were they just hanging out on Amazon the entire time while I had to struggle with wok distillation?

Oof, I do not envy anyone trying to identify fungi through the fossil record. Color and fruiting body structure tend to play pretty big roles in ID because the spores themselves tend to be small and fragile, so except for a few genera that are known for highly ornamented spores it can be pretty challenging.

That’s super neat. Is that little triangular bit at the top a germ pore or something else? It’s funny how you get one clade that takes what you’d think would be a really optimizable form like a spore or a pollen grain and takes a left turn with it. In fungi, Entolomas are really identifiable because their spores are pink and cube shaped.

The genus Cornus is a huge middle finger to growth-form-based taxonomy. It contains dogwood trees and also bunchberry, an itty bitty herb that grows on the forest floor.
The first “trees” were also lycopods whose closest extant relatives are the club mosses, a name which gives you an idea of how big they get.

And so the Western Roman Empire would cease to exist by 476 A.D.
And Byzantium, which survived for another thousand years, always therefore free from issues around currency debasement?
