I love how much effort they put into the license plate when they were well aware that few people would get it. Always commit to the joke. :]

I mean... technically a the sugar in a sugar cube is sucrose (C12H22O11) but I guess that's too long for most country's number plates.

The plate GRAPHEN (short for "graphene") could imply the car is simultaneously 5 times lighter than aluminum, 200 times stronger than steel, and has windows clearer than conventional glass.

Ever seen them play 'dolphin volleyball' with small prey... like... a tiny porpoise? Yes, as in they will stab it with their FACES then toss it HIIIGH in the air, passing it to each other until it's dead... then they leave it on the shore (you know, broken 'toy').

Dolphins are just a bunch of a-hole frat boys; swimming around the ocean, getting high, date raping, and bullying other aquatic life while shouting "NERDS! NERDS! NERDS!" They've even been know to try to rape humans. I don't know... maybe there are some that choose to be better and are given a bad name by the others. I hope so!

    The Science Memes subreddit has been around since April 2012, and it has managed to become one of the largest communities on the entire site. It has 1.2 million members and only a few simple rules that keep the community active and engaged.

    And while you might not think science and memes naturally go hand and hand, they’re actually a perfect pair! Intelligence is a great tool to utilize with humor, and there’s no question that scientists are smart. Sarah Wong at PNNL even wrote an article titled ‘Who Says Scientists Can’t Be Funny?’ where she discusses how useful humor can be in the field of science. First, Wong explains that giving presentations and explaining concepts and findings can easily become dull if scientists’ speeches are too dry. But utilizing jokes and word play can help them connect with audiences and be better understood.  

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Scientific humor on social media can be a strategic way to communicate science,” Sara Yeo, science comedy expert, told PNNL. “People are more willing to engage with content they find funny. It can open the door for a scientist to have a deeper conversation about their research.”

    Wish I could upvote this more than once. People get mad at the scientists, who are so great at being specific about their studies' results and limitations, when their frustration should be directed at the oversimplifying and often misleading journalists who cover the studies (although to be fair, it's probably more likely the editors demanding the clickbait headlines).

    To learn more about how to incorporate humor into science, we reached out to science lover Jill ChaCha, who hosts the Well… That’s Interesting podcast. Jill describes her show as “a weekly comedy sciencey show for people who like learning about weird sh*t,” and lucky for us, she was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda about how it began in the first place. “I created WTI because it’s the kind of show I thought was missing in the podcasting industry: deep dives into scientific discoveries that tell how they came about, using humor and storytelling to make it approachable and memorable,” the host shared.

    When it comes to what Jill loves most about creating WTI, she told Bored Panda, “You’ll never know what you’re going to find when doing research for an episode topic: everything from the flat out gross to inspirational. After writing, editing and recording and then finally sharing it with the audience—hearing their responses is a huge joy for me.”

    We were also curious how Jill decides which topics to discuss on her show. “There are a number of fantastic journals and websites I scroll through,” she shared. “The [topics] that stand out and make it onto the show are usually on the bizarre side, something that makes you say ‘how?!!’ And ‘what?!?’ Like black holes that are ejected from galaxies or parasites that end up in human spines,” the host explained, adding that she uses a number of sources for research including primary sources (case studies) and secondary sources such as the NYTimes, IFL Science, Scientific American.

    As far as Jill’s favorite topics to discuss, she says it’s hard to pick just one. “Recently, deep space discoveries have been mind blowing, along with the latest in eDNA,” she noted. “One of my favorite feel-good stories involves researchers finding out a particular turtle isn’t extinct thanks to finding their eDNA—they were just really good at avoiding humans.”

    Yeeah.. heard that more than a few anti-vaxxers became very suddenly non anti-vaxxers when they realized they were actually dying - then demanded the vaccine... (showing they have .. NO CLUE how vaccines work, even on the most general level) and refused to listen to the HCPs when they said "It won't do anything for you NOW...I'm sorry".

    The plague didn't disappear at all. It was still there, killing thousands of people every year, sometimes wiping out entire towns (in the 18th century, half of the city of Marseille died that way for example), for literally centuries until we generalised the use of antibiotics in the 20th century. Today, it's still there, but we know how to stop its spread so it doesn't spread anymore.

    And the second wave lasted from the 1400s to the 1900s. So it's not like it disappeared between short waves and more like it was always there and suddenly got even worse somewhere else three times in a row.

    George Washington actually pushed for the new French measurement scale, but congress would have had to approve it. They turned it down because the US traded with England and they weren't using the metric system at the time. In the 70's the house and the Senate approved the use of the metric system but it wasn't mandatory.

    We were lucky enough to get in touch with two more science and comedy enthusiasts to get their thoughts on this topic as well. Greg Wah and Dan Beeston, hosts of the podcast Smart Enough to Know Better, “a podcast of science, comedy and ignorance,” were kind enough to have a chat with us about how their show came to be.

    “I’ve always been interested in science, but I understand how dry it can be. I find comedy is a great bridging mechanic to draw people in. If you get them to associate laughing with learning you’re on the right track,” Greg shared.

    “And I was good at comedy, so at least I could provide one part of the solution,” Dan added.

    Science is a philosophy (the art of thinking) that employs specific methods (the testable, transparent and repeatable scientific method) to acquire a body of knowledge in a peer reviewed subject area. Obviously, methods vary according to the area under study, i.e., field work is not microbiology is not astrophysics. Business and governments have influence through grant funding (sometimes referred to as Big Science with a capital S) and much research so directed becomes the Science of power and patronage. Ironically, the scientific method is employed to study politics as well as business processes. So there is always mutual scrutiny and interaction among these three human endeavors.

    All viruses but don't make the mistake to compare a coronavirus to the flu, the flues pattern to mutate is very different. Our immune system is way better to adapt to coronaviruses, to the point that covid ends up as nothing but an ordinary cold and already did to most people who had it once or twice. This will not happen with the flu, while you can get some resistance against it the flu always poses a serious risk to somebody who gets it and it takes weeks or months to recover.

    We were also curious how the hosts decide what to discuss on their show, but they informed me that they “don’t discuss anything.” “It’s part of the joy. We surprise and delight each other each episode,” Greg explained.

    “We did have an instance where we both brought the same story to the podcast, so now Greg tends to talk about the latest discoveries, the science de jour, and I tend to delve more into the sort of science that has an effect on our lives,” Dan added.

    The hosts explained that they discuss “kitchen sink science,” or science that “everyone interacts with every day, whether they want to or not.”

    Without gravity we would only slowly veer out of orbit so you wouldn't notice it as the effect would be too small to notice in 8 min.

    We actually would know pretty quickly that something was up, because the sun doesn't just emit light on us. It holds the earth in its orbit, and if it disappeared, everything in the solar system would immediately be flung out into space.

    “I read through plenty of articles and papers and even Wikipedia looking for new and fancy stories,” Greg noted.

    “I start with a question and do a search for a simple answer to my question,” Dan added. “Then I learn the big words involved and search for those on Scinapse or Google scholar. That throws up several other questions that I pursue across the web, and then suddenly I have 4 dozen tabs open on Firefox and I’m trying to link together a piece of info from every single page.”

    Dan, however, added that perhaps we shouldn’t be interested in it. “Science has ruined my life,” he told Bored Panda jokingly. “Now, whenever I want to do something hedonistic, I know what the experts have to say about every single thing… I had to GIVE UP DRINKING ALCOHOL. It was a nightmare! Do you know how many leafy greens I eat every night?”

    I obviously agree with gloves, this photo is not accurate of what needs to be done safety wise. But in regards to the dishwasher, you have to use hazardous chemicals and drugs with certain cleaning agents. Peridox, oxyvir, alcohol. Because you cannot just make them look sparkly, you have to inactivate the hazardous ingredient/drug first from whatever surface they touch. We have 2 dishwashers in our lab, I’ll tell you right now I have never seen them used. There is a process, and it’s actually safer to hand wash. I do know they use dishwashers in non-hazardous type labs though, but they still get cleaned prior to the dishwasher.

    Exoplanets, generally, are named after the telescope used to find them. Since some telescopes find thousands, numbers are used after the telescope name. The lowercase letter at the end tells you which planet it is. The star itself would be 'a', the planet with the closest orbit is 'b', second closest is 'c' and so on. For stars that already had names before planets were found around them, that name is used instead of the telescope name. This system allows you to know where to look for the raw data that was used to identify the planet.

    Harvard Smithsonian observatories runs a website called DIY exoplanet where you can make an account and control telescopes to record data about stars and use online tools to analyse and help confirm exoplanets. It has collaboration tools for teachers as well so a class can work on a set of data together.

    At one point, several bodies found between Mars and Jupiter were counted as planets. As more were discovered, they were all reclassified as asteroids. Now it seems one of them has been re-reclassified as a dwarf planet. --- A couple other dwarf planets that exist beyond Pluto were also once considered planets. --- Heck, there's also Chiron which apparently has been classified as a planet, asteroid and comet before astronomers decided it didn't really fit any of those labels and came up with a brand new label just for it (centaur). --- As we learn more about our solar system, we come up with more specific language to talk about it.

    Not entirely correct : smallpox is the only human disease we have eradicated. But vaccination has also allowed us to eradicate Rinderpest morbillivirus, which used to infect cows and buffalos. It may not seem important, until you think about how many people depends on cattle and that the ones most affected were in poorer areas. The disease was declared eradicated in 2010. Science and international cooperation at their best.

    All the comments below are well intentioned and I agree for the most part. But, when ever a population of mammals becomes too over populated for their habitat; disease tends to take hold and eradicate them. If that doesn't work, they tend to start taking themselves out... If that doesn't work, they will die of lack of resources. This is why domestication of many species doesn't work; disease. I guess what I am saying is, humans need to thinned out.

    I think I have to clarify something concerning the famous double-slit experiment. First of all: double slit ≠ scissoring! Words like "looking" or "watching" tempt us to regard them too literally. After all, the moon is there, even if I can't look at it because I am sleeping, right? Right! In terms of physics,maybe "measuring" makes more sense. After all, no human eye is able to see single quantum particles. Whenever something's getting measured the quantum system is destroyed by this process, it's collapsing and forces the particles into a final state, even if the measuring device was only installed and not even activated.

    Installing a measuring device affects the quantum system how? Furthermore, how would we know that without measuring anything? Still makes no sense.

    As bad as plastic can be, it has it‘s uses. I think we should just prioritise more. Yes, hospitals and such use much plastic, but it‘s more important to keep diseases from spreading. On the other hand it is very much NOT important for someone to use a plastic plate at home because they don‘t want to wash the dishes after their meal.

    as far as i know, it would be possible to practically stop using plastic now. there are already numerous biodegradable materials that can replace packaging and other plastic products. Of course, it would require a lot of money, but it is not impossible. companies that are most harmful to the environment should bear part of the costs of the ecological transition. financial penalties should also be enforced in cases of infringement of the law in a way that harms the environment. maybe it would be possible to subsidize the producers of plastic products to transform their production lines so that they can use biodegradable plastics within x years.

    I can find an argument to prove anything. Gravity makes the Earth shrink which causes crustal plates to exist and creates heat to drive them. This causes volcanic action which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And we all know that carbon dioxide causes global warming.

    Given that we’re constantly measuring temperature everywhere on Earth and in a limited capacity elsewhere, that makes sense. The Moon and Mars, Venus a few times in the 1970s and I’m guessing probes like Cassini can measure that where they are, but it’s not like we’re getting massive amounts of regular readings beyond Earth.

    The sun still wants to kill you no matter where you live. If we didn't have a magnetosphere, our planet would be barren. See Mars for an example.

    Sure it is! It includes study of the origins of life on Earth as well as beyond. And even though life beyond Earth hasn't been found, it doesn't mean the study of the possibility isn't being done scientifically. About Astrobiology | Astrobiology https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/about/
