3D HDR Composite Moon Image. I Stayed Up Until 4 AM To Shoot This

I'm pretty sure there's some generalization about the flashiness of male birds & monogamy*.

OTOH, the famous monogamous Prairie Voles strike me as actually so because females are known to kill strange males who wander into their territory. 😳

Have you ever realized that you’ve driven yourself home without really paying attention to the road? Scientists studying the brain have found that when our mind wanders, it switches to “autopilot” mode, allowing us to do our tasks efficiently, accurately, and without conscious effort.
This is managed by a set of brain structures called the default mode network (DMN). It was discovered in the 1990s after researchers noticed brain activity in people, even though they weren’t doing anything. This detection was the first evidence that our brains are active even when we aren’t consciously putting them to work.

I Was On My Way To Phoenix And I Captured One Of The Craziest Photos... Lightning Through The Clouds
Bouche and Audi and Shyla, Oh My! 1 year ago
Beautiful. Audi would try to pounce the lightning, though.
Another reason why some things go unnoticed by us is called habituation. This near-universal law of psychology claims that we stop noticing something we see or hear repeatedly. Most of us are familiar with the Apple logo and see it every day, but chances are, we can't recall the details of it. And if you aren’t convinced, try doing this test.
We often overlook trivial things in life, because they don’t matter as much. Let’s take the sound of an alarm clock in the morning as another example. When you choose a new ringtone for it, the noise wakes you up faster, as initially, you pay more attention to it, and it becomes distracting. After a while, you get used to the sound, and your response to it diminishes.

This Tree In My Neighborhood Has 1 Branch Of An Apple Tree And The Rest Is A Normal Tree

Bird's Eyelashes Are Tiny Feathers
Wielder of Yielder 1 year ago
Some birds have eyelashes that look like hairs. Secretary birds and ground hornbills have lashes to die for. :)
As a result, this ability helps us to focus on the things that are more important. In fact, habituation happens regularly in our day-to-day lives when we are learning, even if we don’t realize it.
It allows us to tune out non-essential stimuli and focus on the tasks that really demand our attention. For instance, if you’re studying with the television playing in the background, the noise might be distracting at first, but your brain allows you to tune it out and center your focus on the material at hand.

Melody 1 year ago (edited)
No, the predecessor to the magical winged ball was actually a bird called the golden snidget. They’re a protected species now, but they used to be common and hunting them was quite popular. Quidditch originally didn’t have the snitch, but then in 1269, Barberus Bragge, Chief off the Wizards’ Council, brought a golden snidget to a game and said that whichever player caught it would get 150 Galleons. One person, Madam Modesty Rabnott of Kent, was outraged and caught the snidget and released it unharmed, but soon a snidget was being released at EVERY quidditch game and a player called the “hunter” was tasked with trying to catch it and kill it. The crowd used repelling spells to keep the poor thing from escaping. The golden snidget nearly went extinct, and killing it or using it in quidditch games was outlawed. So that’s why Bowman Wright of Godric’s Hollow invented the Golden Snitch. :) Source: my copy of Quidditch Through the Ages

we learned about this recently. It appears there's a fungus that excretes a substance that messes with the growth hormones of the tree. normally they're "switched off" along the tree as it grows and the lower branches die and fall off (called self pruning). The fungus tricks the plant into starting to grow branches again.

This Stairway In This Hotel Goes Straight Forward 13 Floors Without Any Switchbacks
Two_rolling_black_eyes 1 year ago
Its a fire escape for a large building with entrances on the floors with express elevators. It was a solution derived after the World Trade Center. The stairwells clogged up while the building was collapsing. Elevators at higher floors can be kept running and they only dump people out in large clumps every so often or people can walk down other stairs and switch over. Its a physical manifestation that works like a traffic light to reduce congestion and increase the number that actually can traverse it. Spit out 300 people every 10-15 floors and there is no one in their way between the entrances. The guy who came up with the idea got it from an 90s game called SimTower.

Both Apple and Google use set ups like this for large, pedestrian only areas like NYC Central Park or London's Regent Park.

Search Vista point California on Google maps and you can see how this looks in the street view feature. It's like a panorama pic.

Is this for real? Do they actually use human beans to make their maps? 😳 How weird. And what an awful lotta walking!

Our 30-Year-Old Horse Lost A Tooth While Eating The Other Day
Upstaged75 1 year ago
You can tell it's an old horse by how worn down it is. A horse in its 30's is comparable to a person in their late 90's/100's.

This is actually really common. They originate from a single point due to an irregularity in the glass surface (and obviously rise straight up).

Get an upvote for being compassionate. People should stop (don’t know the details of this specific situation) having wild animals as pets and start protecting their natural habitat.

"It's Not Just A Phase, Mom"
Ropre 1 year ago
We have so many stop signs in our neighborhood (every single block has one) and I noticed the other night that the new stop signs look black when my car's headlights hit them. You can still clearly see the STOP but the rest is black. During the day they're red like all the older ones. Weird.

reminds me of that one story where the girl is throwing the starfish back in the ocean one by one and a guy walks up and says "what are you doing? you can't possibly save enough of them to make a difference" and the girl throws one in the ocean and says "I made a difference for that one."

Reminds me of the Vegas casino I explored which had glass columns packed full of goldfish. Unsurprisingly, a few of them were already dead.

"This is managed by a set of brain structures called the default mode network (DMN). It was discovered in the 1990s after researchers noticed brain activity in people, even though they weren’t doing anything. This detection was the first evidence that our brains are active even when we aren’t consciously putting them to work. " OH SO NOT!! This entire brain function was described in COMPLETE detail around 500 BCE - by Daoist, Buddhist, and Hindu sages. The wise ones. Known mostly know from Japanese Zen, as "mushin", translate to English very stupidly as "no-mind". They KNEW this with the exact precision of today's "Science". Science has not yet learned this.
