Science Side Of Tumblr - Tumblr Posts
Can someone please explain to me what the fuck this thing is?
(Image source is from transformers animated, but I’ve seen it in so many other pieces of media that I know it has to be for something.)
Ive seen it in so many god damn sciencey scenes and I can’t find any answers and I don’t trust Reddit.
Science side of tumblr, or any scientists on tumblr, please help me. Thank you!
hiii! just finished reading, psych student here, tbh the science was pretty good but not that much is known about aspd but they put down what we know so far, but missed out and got wrong a little too.
Correct : the story about the effects of brain damage is true, happened in the 1800s
Correct : there is a marked deficit in brain activity within the regions mentioned (amygdala especially)
Correct : electrical signals can (and in some labs are) being used to strategically turn off and on areas in the brain. so far only one I can think of is ucla using big outside of brain machinery to mess with language processing
Incorrect : usage of the word sociopath in a medical setting, sociopath is just a rude and informal way of saying anti-social personality disorder
Incorrect : downplaying the role of cognitive empathy in aspd, though in the book the mom directly stated he doesn't have cognitive empathy, aspd (normally) does not affect cognitive empathy
overall they did good with neuroscience and meh with the psychology (still a good book tho)
Me reading Tattoo Atlas by Tim Floreen
Last night I had a manic episode and stayed up until 2 am researching shit about space and did you know that every 11 years the sun switches the orientation of its magnetic poles?
North goes to the bottom, south goes to the top, and 11 years later it flips again.
The last time this occurred was in 2013 which means another flip is to occur THIS YEAR. NASA estimates the flip will occur sometime between July and September.
How cool is that?
question for science side of tumblr

Science side of tumblr, what causes these different colors?
Rainbow Eucalyptus trees get their colorful appearance when they shed their bark, starting with bright green patches that gradually transform into orange, maroon, and blue hues
I was scrolling through my phone and absentmindedly scratched my face. I moved my hand away and a layer of slime went with it. The slime was too viscous to be sweat and it was all over my face. Are there any medical professionals on this site? If so, why was there slime on my face? Do I have a disease or did I just sneeze too hard and not notice?
science side of tumblr, do you know what mushroom this is? will it kill me if I ate it?
Tumblr, help. Please. Science side specifically.
I can feel when I'm sleeping and my head is pointing a different way to normal.
When I'm sleeping, my head normally lies pointing close to north
However, as I'm staying over at a friend's tonight, Im lying with my head facing almost due eAST
AND I CAN FEEL IT. I didn't even have to check a compass to figure out I was lying east.
I can just t e l l something is off
And it's making itself kNOWN
Every time I try to sleep my brain goes "hey, hey, hey, pal, we're facing a different way to normal, no sleeping tonight!!" And I get lightheaded and feel generally "off"
Is this somehow due to magnetic north??? Is the tiny amount of iron in my blood rushing to the polarity and that's why my head feels light??? /J
I need help??? Am I alone in this??? Is this a neurodivergent thing?? Do I just have a terrifying sense of direction??? My family (except my autistic mother) says I'm weird???
please rb, I'm curious on the poll 😭😭
me doing a cerebellar exam: can u say moo deng

dear science side of tumblr
how do I stop the virus so I can start self-isolating by choice instead of by force
if i ate cement would it solidify in my stomach
I went to a friend's house 2 months ago and hit my head really hard on her doorframe (like I thought I died for a few seconds hard) and ever since then I keep having the exact same dream where everything I touch turns into cheese.
I also keep waking up at ungodly hours if the night only to find myself standing in front of the fridge, usually holding a bag of cheese or a block of cheddar specifically... he worst part is I don't even like cheddar....
SCIENCE SIDE IF TUMBLR!!!
Science side of tumblr, what's IDFT stand for?
Science side of tumblr, what is the term for when you visit a place, and it reminds you of a different place over a thousand miles away that you visited even though the places are completely different from one another, but the brief sense of familiarity mixing with unfamiliarity throws you for a loop in an almost subconscious manner? Y'know, like deja vu, but places instead of events, and with some weirdcore mixed in but irl?

Dear science side of tumblr,
WHY DOES EVERYTHING ELECTRIC REQUIRE INFINITY IN HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIOS?!?
Negative temperature: Atoms beyond absolute zero may be a new form of matter | New Scientist
??? Wouldn't beyond absolute zero be impossible??? And why does the first paragraph talk about that being uber hot?
Someone please tell how how to chemically castrate humans with household chemicals. (If possible). So that I can't sound genuine when threatening.
