Wife and I got COVID last fall, despite being vaxxed. But god knows how bad it could have been without. I have mild emphysema, that shit can kill me.

And no, neither one of us kept up with the vax schedule. That’s on us.

Same with evolution. “The eyeball is too complex to evolve as a whole unit!” Well, that’s absolutely correct. First, start with a patch of light sensitive cells, iterate.

Fevers always work out great for me. I’ll be all shivery and crash under a pile of blankets. Wake up a few hours later, soaking wet, I mean really, truly gross, and it’s over, all better.

What are the population densities and technology levels among these magical indigenous peoples? This is the Magical Negro trope all over again.

I know that’s a serious scene, but I can’t stop giggling

Yep!

Those are nothing compared to the damage done by other means, not even worth the sweat.

I laugh if that whole thing started again in this thread.

I’m all but about out of here. Look at this meme, totally made up problem.

Gods I know. Bear wandered in the dog door while I was on vacation. My 18-yo friend watching the place had me laughing my ass off at the situation. Needed that as I had just seen my mom for the last time, dying of COVID.

Wasn’t so funny after I talked to the state bear biologist and the contractor that worked for her. He set a snare in my yard, big trailer with a trap door. He was sad, biologist was sad, I was sad, but that’s how it has to go once a bear wanders in a home. Contractor went door-to-door begging people to lock their trash cans so this kind of thing doesn’t have to happen.

Yes, I thought about sabotaging the trap, but he had a trail cam on 4G recording 24x7. I might still have freed that bear if he had shown up. Anyway, kept 3 shotguns within reach for a year behind that mess. (I have a pet pig to defend that apparently the bear was after for dinner.)

He got away! Never came back thank god.

I often wonder if black bears didn’t evolve to be less threatening since humans came to North America. They’re widespread and common and no one is trying to wipe them out. Ran into one with her two cubs and she bolted away.

Discworld science right here.

Wait till you find out about the barnacle penis. You will still not be prepared.

The pressure is an issue, but the CO2 levels on Mars are insane. Forget the cold and near-vacuum, we’d be choking out on a single breath of that poison.

I’m guessing CO2 uptake would be nada while the plant boils out it’s H2O?

An unforgiving bitch.

Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it’s a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.

Gran Torino.

I’ve done a whole 8-ball in one night. Coke doesn’t make you stupid or blow out your inhibitions. This guy was something special to begin with.

That book is hilariously expensive now. Check eBay or Amazon, $150+.

And more! Was surprised no one had taken that one so I looked.

C’mon OP! Get on our level!

(This list is seriously impressive, much love OP.)
