i love my unreasonably expensive calculator
Doing a form for school and would appreciate if u could take it!
This is kinda off topic to my blog but I am writing a text on how different mental disabilities affect one’s sense of morality, and I thought adding a questionnaire to see what my own studies say about it. I made it completely anonymous so feel free to be completely honest :3
Reblogs appreciated dearly! ^_^

THOU HAVE BEEN BANISHED TO THE PIPING BAG FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTUREE
Ok, God, I am fucking wheezing, I got trained to work with mice today since I’ll need them for some experiments and the guy who trained me was like, “Yeah ok so if there’s a day where you just absolutely cannot get your mice to cooperate you can always do this” and picks up this cone-shaped bag and just put the mouse face-first into it and shows it to me and I lose my shit because deadass it was a piping-bag of mouse. Like, the whole mouse was pressed into this cone, fur and ears and feet all pressed up against the plastic, tail sticking up absurdly out of the top of the thing. It was so unimaginably fucking funny but like the mouse was perfectly ok with it, there’s a hole for air at the bottom so she could breathe and all but it was genuinely the most absurd thing I have witnessed in months
At the bottom of Lake Untersee in Antarctica are giant stromatolites, an ancient form of life on our planet. They first appeared closer in time to the formation of Earth, three and a half billion years ago, than to the present day. Scientists hope that studying these organisms in such a hostile environment will help us understand and recognize life on icy worlds beyond our own. BBC Earth
If I became god and could reshape the universe with a thought, the first change I'd make to improve the world is simple:
More polygons can tile the plane.
I mean, only three regular tilings of the plane? (squares, triangles, hexagon)
Ridiculous. We need more.
science side of tumblr/healthcare side of tumblr if my neck bones feel like they're on fire what does that mean /genq
YES YES YES
Here's the link to the video
👏 SAY 👏 IT 👏 LOUDER 👏
sturddlefish weren't supposed to exist. they were supposed to be infertile eggs but instead they hatched?? the last common ancestor between surgeon and paddlefish was 180 million years ago- that's like trying to cross a modern human with a platypus (common ancestor ~170 million years ago). it shouldn't have worked
and because the sturddlefish weren't really genetically all there (many of the eggs didn't make it very far into the development) the ones that hatched looked very different from one another

specifically, it was a cross between the Russian Sturgeon and the American Paddlefish. if you're thinking "they're both fish though" I need you to remember that "fish" is a SHAPE. just like "tree" and "crab" and "ferret" are shapes. except things have been living in the water much, much longer than they've been living on land, so "fish" have had even longer to evolve away from each other. the last time their common ancestor existed, humans and platypi hadn't even branched off from each other
