I’ve said it for years, as soon as it’s commercially available I’m getting photoreceptors realignment surgery.

From what I understand, you would probably have to pay geologists extra (and I guess archaeologists) to not lick stuff they dig out of the ground.

I think the best redirect would be to convince them to “self-pasteurize” their milk. You can make an entire ecosystem of grift products on the best home pasteurizers to avoid harmful toxins or whatever the current buzzword is.

This is why the “secret scientists don’t want you to know” always turns out to be some pseudoscience bs that at best is misinformation and at worst is actively harming people. So, yes, they are things scientists don’t want you to know.

Quantum is when two things at the same time

So you’re telling me if I stop breathing I’ll never get older? I’m in!

Man, caterpillar heaven looks pretty rad.

It’s the symmetry that really makes it.

I assumed it was something more inconsequential and personal. It’s the sort of thing I usually say after doing something particularly embarrassing that I can’t get out of my head…

I think about this a lot. Modern homo sapiens have been around for ~160,000 years. Recorded history starts around 5,000 years ago.

I cannot comprehend the amount of human history we will simply never know.

No! It was not meant for us.

Well she evolved to hunt and gather, so maybe don’t blame her for gathering.

Annual earnings? Weekly wages? Hourly wages? Are they taking into account things like voluntary overtime?

Probably the most violent octopus on that beach, but we really can’t say if it was the angriest octopus.
