  In certain climates one has to be careful not to let the plumbing freeze. The pipes will crack if they don’t heat their house enough. Another thing to keep in mind is that if your home is well insulated, the heat generated to keep it warm will dissipate very slowly whereas warming your body in a drafty home will require a constant amount of power.

  Here is an article about men sentenced for cooking chicken a the Yellowstone National Park.

  Here is another article about how cooking in natural hot springs while on a hike is totally awesome lol. Bonus naked guy at the end of the article.

  Bits of submersible with dead billionaires? Sand formed by the sudden and thorough crushing of a submersible with dead billionaires? The Logitech F710 aught to be mentioned as well. Of all the things cheap game controllers have endured, utterly destroyed by deep sea pressure is one.

  My kid reassembled an owl pellet and framed it in science class. Looks pretty cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THANK YOU⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This picture is kind of misleading though. Much of the photo’s creepiness comes from mistakenly assimilating the red dots to its eyes. Ants have those big familiar insect eyes we are familiar with. Quote from Snopes:

  This is a closeup of a section of the ant’s face but not the full face. In a text message, Kavaliauskas [the photographer] told us, “This is just the front part of the portrait […] the eyes are already in the shadow area. […] if the eyes are illuminated, all the mystery disappears and the photograph appears ordinary and uninteresting.”

  Wait what? US population is 345 millions. How do you even celebrate Halloween that requires three pumpkins per person? Plenty of people don’t even have a porch.

  falseknees comics aren’t necessarily structured around a big punchline. It’s often more of an animal kingdom slice of life. Here the bird on the left clearly hatched this year since they’re unaware of leaves changing color in autumn. This is isn’t their last surprise, as they’re about to find out what it means to be a migratory bird as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨autumnal hopes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s putting it squarely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨autumnal hopes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They mean 32°C.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oxygen⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trick question. The sun is in the sky (daytime) not in space (nighttime)! As we all know, the higher you are, the less there is oxygen. That is because the sun burns most of the oxygen in the sky. Fortunately plants produce oxygen in the daytime faster than the sun burns it. It’s common sense really.

  OK but it’s pretty cool that the moon is just far enough and just the right size relative to Earth and the sun to give us all those rad eclipses.

  I’m a little uneasy about how the lab leak hypothesis is often lumped into nonsensical conspiracy theories. The actual beginning of the virus is still uncertain if I’m not mistaken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Keeps Rock For Years Thinking It's Gold. It Turned Out to Be Far More Valuable.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The writing is at morning program levels of goofiness; it’s jarring. At 17 kg this meteorite would be worth over a million USD if it was gold. It’s like the writer is taking a piss at the poor guy who hoped to get some money out of it.
