to clarify, these are two different young girls pulling two different swords from two different lakes, about a year apart. strange women in ponds will continue to distribute swords
Listen maybe Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is a good basis for a system of government.
I teach my 7th graders about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.
I bring in a graduated cylinder of it and we talk about how it’s used in nuclear power plants and gmo crops. How inhaling even the small amount I’m holding can lead to suffocation or even death. It’s found in vaccines and cancer cells, but also in infant formula and pet food. It is a huge component of acid rain, can cause severe burns, and has been found in places that were thought to be the most pristine and unpolluted locations on earth.
We talk about how there are little to no regulations on this chemical. No bans, no warning labels, and most manufacturers don’t even have to disclose their use of it in their products.
My students are outraged. We talk about what we can do. Create posters and flyers to spread awareness. Contact our senators with petitions to ban DHMO. Spread this information all over social media.
Then I explain that the real problem with dihydrogen monoxide is that….when I am thirsty…there is just nothing else as refreshing, and then I watch their looks of absolute shock and horror as I drink the entire vial down.
I. Fucking. Love. This.
This is how misinformation works. How propaganda works. How manipulation works.
may our education be stronger than fake news
Amen.
To those who don’t get it:
“Dihydrogen monoxide” is the chemical name for water, AKA H2O.
another important element of understanding the joke is understanding how pH levels work
yup. that’s a higher number alright.
“Everyone who has ever touched or consumed this chemical has died”
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.
The image reveals the black hole at the centre of Messier 87, a massive galaxy in the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster. This black hole resides 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun.
Supermassive black holes are relatively tiny astronomical objects — which has made them impossible to directly observe until now. As the size of a black hole’s event horizon is proportional to its mass, the more massive a black hole, the larger the shadow. Thanks to its enormous mass and relative proximity, M87’s black hole was predicted to be one of the largest viewable from Earth — making it a perfect target for the EHT.
The shadow of a black hole is the closest we can come to an image of the black hole itself, a completely dark object from which light cannot escape. The black hole’s boundary — the event horizon from which the EHT takes its name — is around 2.5 times smaller than the shadow it casts and measures just under 40 billion km across.
Hello Everyone! I have been working for the past few years on my Undergraduate degree and in order to graduate this May I need to complete a final project. I have decided to look at the effect of the December update on Tumblr’s online community.
If you have a moment please take my survey and tell me what you think about the new changes.
https://forms.gle/TQpnGkV249Vs6RCB7
Thank you for your time~!
Just thought I should mention the survey is only going to be open for a week! so until Apr 14th.
If you have questions please message me!
Hey fam! If you could please take a moment to look at this questionnaire and fill it out that would be great. @yusaofthedawn actually interviewed myself and a couple of other content creators on here for their thesis, but they need more data to work with.
It takes less than two minutes to fill out, and you’ll be helping someone finish their undergrad thesis. Thank you!
please consider NOT pouring your dog or cat’s kibble directly into a plastic container for storage. the oils and fats in the food oxidize quicker than you’d imagine, get into the plastic, and become rancid. this badness then creeps into new food you pour in! i won’t get into all the scientific terms right this sec, but it can cause cancer and other major issues
ideally, kibble will be kept sealed IN the bag you buy it in (chip clips are your friends). the bags are designed to keep all the good juices inside. you CAN put the bag in a metal or glass container if you wish. HOWEVER, any bag of dry food WILL oxidize and start to go bad in 2-3 weeks once opened! that’s right, stop buying jumbo bags for small dogsonly one dog. buy lots of smaller bags if you want but please don’t open them until you need that food. to all the people wondering why their dogs get tired of their food by the end of a bag or start to get sick, this is why. the entire chemical makeup of the food has changed.
i’ll save all the things i Could say about what should and shouldn’t be in your pets kibble for another post, maybe, or for anyone who has questions just hmu. i’m here to help the floofs be healthy
on one hand this thread makes me want to cry a lot and on the other I’m like, well, my brain is a complex system and now I have a sort of entry point to figure out how it works, so that’s good
