This makes me chuckle at random times, whenever it pops into my head. It's tragically hilarious.
Many people find a reason to laugh at supposedly inappropriate scenarios. According to Dr. McGraw, dark humor works because of psychological distance. He used the story about the Indonesian baby who smoked 40 cigarettes a day as an example.
“When I was first told about that, I laughed, because it seems unreal — what parent would let their kids smoke cigarettes?” McGraw said. “The fact that the situation seemed unbelievable made it benign. Then when I saw the video of this kid smoking, it was no longer possible to laugh about it.”

Fun Fact: Edison is the reason Hollywood is in California. Originally, the movie industry started in New Jersey. But Edison believed he owned the rights to every film ever made, regardless of who actually made it. He would harass any other studio than his own, either through legal threats or illegal ones. Back in that day, cross country travel wasn't easy. So film makers packed up and moved to the opposite coast, where Edison simply didn't have the reach to shut them down.

“Humor being so subjective and emotive, a person to whom it isn’t ‘natural’ trying to do funny in a half-assed way can be much more grating or off-putting than them just presenting their info straight,” he said. “[It] should be seen as a useful tool, rather than a requirement.”

It was press for on, press again for fast flash, again for slow flash, then again for off. And she always forgot to press 3 times to turn it off and would end up turning and moving her hands while she talked, not noticing the laser arrow zooming across our faces until someone audibly reacted to getting it in their eyes (4) one of us tried to give her a new one, and she refused.

Beer was safer than water. Beer was boiled and filtered. Most public water sources were filthy.

If there were dragons, why are there no fossils? If there were not dragons, where did the idea come from?
Danish Susanne 1 year ago (edited)
But there are fossils. Maybe not from dragons but from huge dinosaurs and how were people to know the difference back then.

No, the result is only happened once the box has been opened. Note my deliberate use of tense there.

Today, I submit to you, that giraffes that are not "stretched horses" .... rather, horses are giraffes that have been Squooshed.

It's a misleading graphic about the results of experiments being different when they are 'observed'. It's not that a person watching makes a difference, but that the medium used in order to observe it (e.g. visible light) changes the result of the experiment

In modern physics, the double-slit experiment demonstrates that light and matter can satisfy the seemingly incongruous classical definitions for both waves and particles. This ambiguity is considered evidence for the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.
Lindy Mac 1 year ago (edited)
Kie: same here. And to be honest I'd rather know how to cross a busy street or do taxes than whether light knows I am watch or not.🤣🤣

The only difference is the monkey is looking and then he is not. Heisenberg principal for sure. Energy and position of a particle can not be known at the same time. And you change it if you look.

The X and Y graphics are switched in this meme. The “Xmas Tree” is actually centered at the Y=0 position. And the “Ymas Tree” is actually centered at the X=0 position.

Except that each of them points along their respective axes. The Xmas tree is pointing along the x axis, etc.

I agree on the yard. Plant local wild flowers and grasses. No need to mow. Wash those damn dirty dishes. Use a bucket while washing dishes saving the rinse water to use on your native yard. Clean those dirty clothes. Get them off the floor. Tripping only helps fund the medical profession. Wait until your clothes are actually dirty to wash them. If there isn't any visible staining / dirt, hang them outside to "air them out". If it smells after a day in the sun, you need to wash them. Being a slob is not helping pollinators.

An un- or very infrequently-mown lawn will generally adapt and adopt local seeds. Even if created with top quality grass only, low levels of maintenance will allow it to go native in only two or three years after laying it.
