exponential growth of wolverines
  • Wolverine is difficult because of his (unnatural) metal skeleton. So whatever is attached to the skeleton will regenerate. If you slice of the tip of his finger it will just die and he'll grow a new finger, but if all that's left is a tip of the finger clinging to the skeleton he'll regenerate.

  • [Gamers Nexus] "Google is Getting Worse," ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs
  • It's not even that their results suck, per se, but they straight up ignore most of my search query and focus on one or two words only. Obviously that makes your search results suck.

  • Think of the children!
  • Divide them into the ones thinking poor people also deserve to be healthy and...?

  • China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say
  • What the fuck is this bullshit article? China gives subsidies for green tech? GOOD! And then they want the EU to stop is? See, this is why we can't have nice things. When we lay parched on our barren sun baked fields this is who we can thank.

  • Balanced lethal systems
  • Ah this actually cleared things up for me. Yellow coat is probably more evolutionary beneficial, and then even if a quarter of the young die its no big deal, just lay more eggs or whatever.

  • Grass is Greener
  • Wait, clover is a legume? How tiny are their peas?

  • TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it
  • So, capitalism? If you don't participate you're screwed (tortured via poverty). So you have to work on the system: working for money, buying from companies (advancing the system), continuing the trend to make poor people suffer.

    Of course the only difference is ignorance of capitalism doesn't make you safe from it. Although you can argue that societies that don't know about capitalism (at all, so no money) have no poverty.

  • At least 1,300 hajj pilgrims died during extreme heat, Saudi Arabia says
  • Dying in Mecca is also an honour, so I wouldn't be surprise is a lot of these deaths are because of pre-existing conditions, worsened by the heat.

  • A cool guide to sushi etiquette
  • Unless you hand me a soy sauce pipette i'll just dip the rice part in the soy sauce, thank you very much.

    And wtf is tiny tiny rice?

  • 10/10 kids books.
  • Good Omens (the book, by Gaiman and Pratchett) is also hilarious.

  • Elon Musk haters vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks by spray painting "F**K ELON" on dozens of them
  • Billions. They paid him the same amount of money (as a bonus!) as Bill Gates had in total when he was the worlds richest person in 2007.

  • How heterosexual couples met in the US
  • The source is mentioned on the bottom of the graph.

  • Removed
    Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company
  • Just because he's in tech does not mean this is tech news. Please stop posting this and leave it to the gossip websites.

  • Removing ads from Smart TV YouTube app
  • Weird how people are saying it should work, lol. Blocking YouTube ads with pihole most definitely does not work. Cannot work even, it's just how YouTube works.

    I'm afraid that using something like a googletv stick (or nvidia shield etc) and installing smarttube is your best bet.

  • Drones trespassing in my property
  • Pellet gun, that travels like 100m at most.

  • In Yemen, traditional cone hats known as Madhalla are worn by female goat herders to stay cool in the desert heat.
  • I think once the temperature is higher than body temperature you want something that radiates the maximum amount of heat. But I've seen studies that seem to imply it doesn't matter which color you wear.

  • xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas
  • As long as you have a driveway or garage, yes. Which a lot of people (most?) don't have.

  • TIL that it may be faster for humans to run on all fours.
  • Huh, was expecting more leopard style

  • Please submit within three business days
  • I dislike Discovery because it focuses on one main character instead of the entire crew.

  • Coconuts 🥥
  • Reading about the treasure fleet is wild:

    The Chinese expeditionary fleet was heavily militarized and carried great amounts of treasures, which served to project Chinese power and wealth to the known world. They brought back many foreign ambassadors whose kings and rulers were willing to declare themselves tributaries of China. During the course of the voyages, they destroyed Chen Zuyi's pirate fleet at Palembang, captured the Sinhalese Kotte kingdom of King Alakeshvara, and defeated the forces of the Semudera pretender Sekandar in northern Sumatra.

    Sounds like a fantasy novel.

  • Does anyone know what jellyfish this is? I saw it at the beach in Thailand.

    Saw quite a lot of them in around 2m deep water. Looks like Phyllorhiza punctata but then with reversed colours. About 15cm long. Didn't seem very dangerous, as in I saw no one screaming in agony.

    Not my picture, but the only one I could find.
