hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. typically, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.

humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!

Watching that Netflix thingy about the Titan submarine, a thing that sticks out to me - and annoys me - is this canard that Stockton Rush was trying to 'democratise submersible travel' or 'open up the oceans' or whatever and it's just bollocks.

Dude didn't do shit. He invented a shit submarine that dived a handful of times and then imploded. Everyone who told him his submarine was shit he got rid of. He was never going to advance anything because his submarine wasn't ever going to get anywhere. He was a failure before he started because he was doing the wrong thing the wrong way and ignoring everyone who said so.

But the line is oh, the dude had vision, oh he wanted to shake things up, oh this oh that oh the other.

No! No! Don't indulge these people!

It's like Elizabeth Holmes! "Oh, if her machine had worked" - IT DIDN'T! IT WASN'T EVER GOING TO WORK! IF YOU LIE YOU DON'T GET CREDIT! YOU WERE WRONG! YOU LIED! YOU DIDN'T DO SHIT!

ARGH!

been thinking about how the al-qassam fragmovies always open with footage of them like silently stalking totally unaware idf troops. lovely bit of psychological warfare i feel like at this point the idea that anytime theyre doing anything even if they cant see anyone it might be the leadup to becoming a twitter clip has to be weighing on them

One of the funniest things about Mormonism is that I’m sure Joseph Smith never believed any of the bullshit he said. There are some religions and cults where you have faith the original prophet actually thought they were talking to angels or believed the set of principles they laid out for their followers were for the greater good. Joseph Smith was a dumbass but like PT Barnum he realized a sucker was born every day and he was one step above the average 1830s sucker. He went from making people pay him to look at a rock in a top hat and ‘locate buried treasure’ to receiving lost bits of scripture, through the rock and top hat method. His wife caught him cheating and he said an angel visited him and told him men should be allowed multiple wives and not obeying that would send her to hell. I’m fairly convinced that dude was an atheist. He was on that hustler grindset. Brigham Young might have actually believed some of the shit he said but I don’t think Joseph Smith genuinely had faith in Mormonism or gave a fuck about humanity in the slightest.

i feel so bad for black panther party. imagine being the only truly revolutionary vanguard (in communist sense) organization usa ever had to end up destroyed by fbi with multiple members still in jail to this day and then the empire you were fighting against made an utterly reactionary marvel movie named after you with your ideas of black nationalism/liberation and pan africanism flipped upside down to resemble something more like zionism. so now modern people associate black panther with that movie instead of you. and also the biggest black capitalist popstar in the world performed at the country's main jingoistic event appropriating your imagery for the good of empire.

terfs would lose their minds if they were exposed to 2000s-2010s "a girl can do anything a boy can do, including beating them at sports" messaging like why are you all acting like nobody has ever said this and that it's radical to think that women aren't inherently worse at things. open your mind. read some feminist theory. touch some grass. the most basic banal middle-class white woman feminism of the 2010s looks fucking radical and visionary compared to the misogynistic victimization complex y'all are peddling

i think one of the best parts about being a teenager in the early to mid 2010s was that cigarettes were definitely not cool anymore and vapes hadn’t popularized yet so my lungs made it out of my peak impressionable years relatively unscathed
