  They’re like puppies of the sea, just with stingers.

  They are friendly little bugs.

  Interesting argument, mind backing it up with a source?

  Hot take: These guys never bothered me. I know some people are strongly bothered and annoyed by Boxelder bugs but they don’t annoy me.

  I thought they peaked during the Triassic.

  Crazy that they boast about having an overactive amygdala but deny it when people say they are acting crazy and paranoid.

  Also, side note: conflation of liberal and leftist as if they’re the same is kind of a pet peeve of mine. They are very much not the same thing. Those who know know.

  We should be banning, or more accurately, phasing out combustion engines for all vehicles including government and emergency vehicles. If anything should be EVs these should be it. Also consider that American fire trucks are massively oversized compared to ones in the rest of the world. They don’t need to be that big, and thus more compact European-style ones could easily be replaced with electric equivalents.

  Also there’s a specific type of reactor that is optimal because it allows for more easily recycling the spent fuel to use it again, and unfortunately these have not been built as much as the other type of reactor.

  Well it will make them cold if you put it down there.

  Would Anomalocaris actually do well in the modern world. I feel like they probably wouldn’t do so well in the modern ecosystems of much more evolved marine creatures. Would get out-competed very quickly, and likely face plenty of other challenges. Being out-competed is likely the reason they went extinct in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pringhouls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately reality doesn’t always work out the way maths intended it to. Almost all the ones I’ve gotten had many of them broken. Makes for slick marketing though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chemistry of Pumpkins⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the only thing that is really pumpkin about pumpkin spice is the association with pumpkin pie. Pumpkin on its own doesn’t have much flavor though so it would taste like whatever you put on it. If the combination weren’t used in Pumpkin pie as much as it is, it probably wouldn’t even be called pumpkin spice.

  It’s averaged out, the real values are in a range, they just took the average between them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pressure vs Temp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All 3 states exist at the same time, rapidly alternating between them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pressure vs Temp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t fluids conform to the shape of their container? In a sense they would all be conforming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eat lead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Was going to say exactly that, not all lead came from radioactive decay. So this kind of ruins their debunk, Earth’s age has been measured by the amount of lead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s also not forget that Scientists are also humans. Humans with their own beliefs and biases which do get transferred into studies. Peer review can help reduce that but since peers are also humans with their own biases, but also common biases shared amongst humans it’s not bulletproof either.

  There will always be some level of bias which clouds judgement, or makes you see/think things that aren’t objectively true, sometimes it comes with good intention, others not so much. It’s always there though, and probably always will be. The key to good science is making it as minimal as possible.

  I mean those things didn’t change, it was just about how research was manipulated by money and human biases.
