I think the cult has found me

I’ve had phones that regularly would say not delivered and the message definitely did.

You said skimpy but man I was not expecting it to be that skimpy. Don’t scroll past, check that vid out before youtube takes it down

Possible good side effect is churches visibly promoting candidates you dislike so you can actively avoid them. I’m not a church guy at all but having it be obvious which ones are the true cranks and which ones are more middle of the road, or the rare lefty churches seems like a silver lining here.

I don’t think this will change much internally, churches are heavily political and the no endorsing candidates law was seldom, if ever, enforced.

Forrest says that back in the 1960s, “the chance that a child was going to die in the United States was the same as European nations.” But that’s no longer the case, he says.

“What we found is that from 2010 to 2023, kids in the United States were 80% more likely to die” than their peers in these nations,

Are you the same age, if not how many years separate the two of you?

I’d be pretty impressed if salamanders readily incorporated environmental transposons into their genome. Don’t octopuses rewrite their genetics on the fly though? I think I remember reading something about that years ago

I’m partial to Tomatl and Ahuacatl

Bluebottles are a kind of housefly in the US or UK aren’t they?

The whole site is pretty hilarious imo, used to be a tumblr blog a decade+ ago. Kind of reminds me of old-school somethingawful. I read the book they published too, funny stuff but kind of a vulgar, niche sense of humor that’s not everybody’s cup of tea.

Haven’t heard much from the binaural beats theta wave people for a while, good on them for sticking to it I guess. Love a good drone

Thanks, that’s a load off my mind. It doesn’t really sound true but the bubbling action of peroxide always seemed a little ominous. Easy to see how this rumor started, it could be generations old.

Not sure if this is true but someone once told me that using hydrogen peroxide on wounds of a certain size might lead to a bubble of gas appearing in the bloodstream, which would be undesirable. I dunno, I rinse my mouth with diluted h2o2 occasionally and might put it on a small scrape but I’m a little leery after hearing that. Also the “cauterizing” effect seems like it might slow healing or cause a more notable scar.

People eat them don’t they? If they raise some for meat they won’t be endangered, seems like a lucrative endeavor if they’re so in demand. I’ve seen other people say raising tiger for meat would prevent their extinction too but pangolins look easier to raise and, frankly, more edible.

Honestly I bet they’re delicious, those plates would soften up if boiled and then you could deep fry the rinds, yum. Fairly chonky critters too, so definitely some good cuts of well-marbled meat. All those ants and grubs they eat would probably give the meat an unforgettable, delectable, craveable flavor. Between goose and turkey size so you could have one on Thanksgiving. Could pangolin break into the top 5 most eaten meats? Easily the top 10.

I will let you know when I eat my first pangolin, hopefully one raised in America.

Those look like the kind of bone a cartoon dog would he chewing on. Something might be written on each of them?

That is not good news, I’ve eaten off the upper left ones for decades.

Simpsons did it?

Okay, good to hear someone else say this about Spanish. Like how “diez” is much closer to 1 syllable than 2
