Forget the chicken. What came first, the tardigrade, or the egg? Well, in this case, I think the tardigrade would have to exist first.

That’s the room where the litter box goes.
- Comment on People are realizing celebrities are unnecessary 6 months ago:
Really? I figured the scam behind that one was some kind of trafficking with pieces of art being used as cover for the sales involved with it.
- Comment on People are realizing celebrities are unnecessary 6 months ago:
I honestly think some people only become famous overnight so that someone can move large amounts of money from one hand to another through the use of someone else’s name.

No offense, but any time I have heard a woman call herself this, it was always some woman that everyone thought was a total C_.

The Galápagos is pretty much paradise. If can, check it out some time.
- Comment on Choose your difficulty 6 months ago:
The Galapagos deserves its own level at the top of this. It’s literally, “don’t eat any green apples you find on the island, okay?”

Charles Darwin did not create the idea of social Darwinism, though. He suggested the biological evolution of species over time. People often pair the two ideas together because his last name is part of the word “Darwinism”.

I guess some classes won’t learn how to heat stir sticks over a Bunsen burner to make glass spiral earrings and spiral rings. College Chem class allowed us to buy extra stir sticks and responsibly use our free time after labs were completed.

I guess it’s not illegal anymore. People were saying it was illegal around 2016. Apparently victims of domestic violence were afraid their significant other could track them via geolocation, so now it’s legal to turn it off. Never mind. Times change.

I used to put my phone in a faraday bag until I realized that it blocks location services from being used, which is apparently illegal where I live.
- Comment on All the data so far is showing inflation isn't going away, and is making things tough on the Fed 6 months ago:
In all of this, the Amish are probably not affected.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
They can already track all of that through your phone.
I just want an internal chip that monitors location AND vitals (heart rate, BP, Specific Oxygen…), so that EMS can be alerted the moment that a person is in severe distress.
- Comment on Winning the Gold Cup on Mario Kart 64 as Yoshi 6 months ago:
It isn’t about the character you choose to use for the race. I’d be more concerned about the 50cc part. Although, now that you mention it, it seems like using bigger characters (Bowser, etc) made the car move slower.

“Retro gaming”. Omg, I’m old at 35. 😳

So many people have downvoted my post, but none of them are shunning their fancy smartphones; all of which are equipped with location services that enables the phone to be tracked by GPS, to their exact coordinates.
What a terrible shower though, they must think, as they scroll my post with their smartphone, and it tracks their exact location.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
I just want a microchip in my children that tracks their location and vitals, with immediate reports to EMS if their vitals are at critical levels. That’s all.

What do you think of the Irish language? lol. Ouisce is ishkah is water, and that’s probably the only word that is spelled closest to how it’s pronounced. I’m just glad the bus lane is labeled “Lana bus”. I figured that one out just before stepping off the curb.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Not if it contains tech for monitoring a person’s vitals, like an Apple Watch. As soon as their vitals are critical, EMS would be dispatched to their coordinates, and police could see what other chips are near the victim.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
The government probably would t have enough money to hire people to watch our chip movements 24/7. It would probably just be a tool to use as evidence in the case of a missing person, or for verifying alibis when crimes are reported. I could be wrong. You think someone would spend their 9AM-5PM watching your gps dot move on a map? Think there’s a man, or woman, to take the next shift and watch it stay in one spot, while you sleep? That would be tough to believe, unless you’re someone really important to the government; like the president.

That’s so true. Just avoid the awkwardness: I ate too much.

Ah. You’re talking to a math grad.

Is it truly an adverb, though. Would that statement be considered proper English? It is a colloquialism, or some might say a metaphor, but is it considered an appropriate use of the English language to use that type of phrase? I could just imagine someone’s English professor returning an essay with a red line through that phrase.

People are downvoting me on this one, but everyone has a phone that already tracks their GPS coordinates every second of the day (it’s used by your fitness tracker apps, for steps). You probably have your phone in you pocket, or your hand, all day, while it tracks your every step and location. Now, just imagine that tracker is in your body, just after birth. Not a whole phone, but just a small chip.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
I didn’t say anything about tracking thoughts; just location of a person.
