the difference between fucking about and science is writing it down

PSA: set up a humidifier in the winter, the air gets dry which makes chapped lips way worse.
You can just get a big bowl of water with a towel in it draped over the sides of the bowl, so it wicks water up and into the air. - Comment on Words used in a different context 2 days ago:

even then i feel like anime skin tends to be either so white you worry about their blood cell count, or the most unspecific shade of brown imaginable.
- Comment on I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌 3 days ago:
it entirely depends on size and species, but primarily size
under 5mm legspan? could not give less of a fuck, try not to accidentally get quished and godspeed 🫡
Larger than that? best fucking be a jumping spider, or an orb weaver sitting on the outside of the window. - Comment on I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌 3 days ago:
tell that to the cellar spiders that keep getting into my apartment and dying in the corner of the ceiling.

i feel like old men do it a lot as well, presumably part being macho and maybe part that testosterone makes taste buds decline earlier?

advertising works when it’s good advertising, the idea that you can run ads showing a puppy getting sawed in half and it’ll magically make people buy your product is the greatest piece of cope ever conjured by mankind.

there are so so so many things utterly wrong about this, primarily the fact that “white people” (a fundamentally racist concept) weren’t particularly advanced until very very recently.
You know where the big advanced civlizations were, historically? The middle east TWICE, egypt, FUCKING CHINA, and the Mediterranean.
Civilization started in modern day Iraq, somehow i think they’d be more likely to react to a light-skinned person than someone with brown skin 🤔

wikipedia without images is like 100gb, get rid of all the utterly useless things like art and sports and it’s more like 40gb

lodestone is a natural material, use that to build a shitty generator which powers a much more powerful electromagnet which you use to magnetize better permanent magnets, then use them to make better generators. bish bash bosh

they’re giant chopsticks, the image in the OP shows how it’d probably look as they walk around picking unsuspecting lizards from the ground.
- Comment on predatory giraffes 4 days ago:
it doesn’t fly per se, just glide, which is bad enough.
- Comment on Sunlight special 4 days ago:
i mean the thing with clouds is that they largely just scatter the sunlight, and i’m pretty sure i’ve seen a reflector design specifically for that situation which works remarkably well.

a worrying amount of people seem to only consider habanero peppers as flavourful, anything else is unseasoned

haha that’s so clever and funny
- Comment on wax on 4 days ago:
i think most people at some point hear that honey is basically bee vomit, and thus passively assume wax works the same way. Plus hornets literally chew up wood and spit it out, so that’s even more reason to assume bees do something like that.

wonderful gun safety there, just merrily point it at people’s crotches while your finger is near the trigger, why not!

PSA: serviceberry is a very very very common decorative hedge, the berries are extremely tasty.
It absolutely baffles me how no one is growing them commercially to sell in grocery stores, they’re clearly grown commercially to some degree for use in juices and stuff, but i guess selling to individuals is just a step too far? It’s not like they’re even remotely difficult to grow or harvest… - Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 days ago:
the difference is potency, wood sorrel is literally the reason Oxalic acid is named such and thus quite good at giving you kidney stones.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 days ago:
and even if you have the right to roam, and commons exist, we fucking refuse to plant edible things in them!
i straight up do not think we should plant things that don’t produce food unless there’s a really good reason to plant something else, sure maples look nice but plum trees also look nice and THEY PRODUCE PLUMS
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 days ago:
is that 1.25kg raw or cooked down? because raw isn’t actually that much, it’d cook down to like 2 micrograms following the law of leafy greens
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 days ago:
which is why we need to normalize street markets like most tropical countries have, sure you can’t buy it at the store but you can buy it from a dude who went into the forest with a big basket a few hours ago.

it’s fascinating how the 5 comments that aren’t spambots tend to slot into the categories of inane nonsense, “haha this comment isn’t about porn, what a hilarious concept no one else has ever figured out before me!”, or just straightforward praise/critique like it’s a youtube edutainment video

have you looked at simplex? at a glance it seems robust and it actually works without much fiddling which is nice.
