Man. Joe has dysentery real bad, someone should take care of him. Wtf wants to nurse a guy through dysentery? No one that’s the problem! Wait, don’t we have a baboon around here?
I want it, how much is it, I’ll report back with my findings
That's actually not surprising to me. The main way radiation kills living organisms is via DNA Damage. The most susceptible is DNA being decoded, as unused DNA is curled up and will less likely be damaged by radiation. The faster stuff grows the more susceptible to radiation damage (that's why radiating tumors works). As a bonsai is by design being kept withing very strict growing boundaries it has a much higher chance of surviving radiation than a normal growing counterpart. Plus fact: there is a bacterial species called Deinococcus radiodurans which as you may have guessed ist extremely durable towards radiation, they do this via very good DNA repair mechanism but also low metabolism and division rates.
Y’all this is really random but it’s 11:11 and it’s also almost Christmas. So I guess make a wish
Guilty as charged. But there has been so many deaths in my life this year.
I remember this exact moment!! I thought it was so awesome, like literally awe-some lol

Aside from the hypothesis being 80 years old, little dogs living half this, and chickens also being an outlier - us having longer lifespans than 35 years is nothing to do with modern stuff. People historically lived to 60/80/90, General Cao Cao was 65 when he died in the 3rd century of a brain tumour. Lif expectancy was lower in the past but that was because of the high infant mortality rate bringing the number down, not people dropping dead in their 30s.
But, we all knew it was the genie. He's even obviously voiced by Robin Williams, the voice of the genie.
I've spent my kid's entire childhood telling other parents this, they all just think I'm an idiot. Oh well.
It explains why so many of us have low self esteem from what happened to us during childhood.
Or they could just make them in the USA again. You know, have regulated labor and environmental practices and such.
Yeah all the companies that made lightbulbs basically have a giant meeting and said our lightbulbs are gonna last way too damn long we’re not gonna make any money so they decided to make the s****y ones that die in two years and it stayed like that till this day that lightbulb is probably one of those long lasting ones before they decided to screw us over
If children cheat on tests it's because the school values grades above learning.
This is a tendon, not a muscle. Everybody has it, might be visible, might not be. This story of extra useless muscle is pure b******t.
And on the internet it’s the wonderful, sometimes useless “/s”
And also because your hand has a lot of nerves so getting cut anywhere else would’nt hurt much
Wish this worked with chronic fatigue! (I’ve read this fact before and tried it on myself - it might give you some sort of temporary relief or distract you, but doesn’t work overall.)
So if that is true, then Hanks and Clooney are related. Nepotism, I should have known. LOL!!!
I like, “ 30 days have September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31 except February… “ which has 28 and no one cares how the rhyme ends because you’ve worked out the month you wanted.
Mom always said, "if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?"
In 24 years, my partner and I have never fought. We know we can disagree about a few things.
That is poorly worded. Of course they have muscles but not muscles related to motion. They do have tendons, which are strictly speaking part of a muscle, but now we're getting pedantic.
Thank you everyone for being so considerate and kind. It truly means the world.
