Look I get you but points at gums I need dentures

I've been dealing with dry eye and they've gone a little crazy on my eyes. My eye doctor actually had to give me eye drops to clear them up a bit

The little crusties you get when you sleep. Got so bad that I couldn't open my eyes in the morning

Since taking eye drops to clear out the demodex and doing a bunch of eye hygiene, I now have almost no crusties in the morning

It's kind of both

The pollen isn't the jizz but it produces the jizz

Can people please realize that saying Idiocracy is a documentary is agreeing with eugenicists

The point is to get people excited so they can get funding to keep developing the technologies that will make this kind of genetic engineering commercially viable

Awesome! I love the Great Tit!

Found the novelization

Strawberries. Lots of strawberries

That's pretty metal, not gonna lie

I'm not sure what you mean by "advanced" but they're really not

An Immense World by Ed Yong had a section on Mantis Shrimp and while their fascinating creatures with a really interesting vision system, their color perception isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm reciting this from memory so if anyone knows better please correct me:

Mantis Shrimp have compound eyes with three sections: 1) the main section detects movement and is what they primarily use to see 2) the second section detects color. When the shrimp detects movement it will look at whatever it was with it's color detecting section to determine if it's prey or predator. This is a whole separate section of the eye and is unlike how ours function. The reason why the shrimp has so many detectors is because, unlike our eyes, the shrimps eyes don't combine different color receptors to see color. The book likened it to a bar code scanner that uses the presence of certain color combinations to detect what's there 3) one really neat thing the mantis Shrimp can do is see spiralized polarized light. We cannot see polarized light but there's a lot of b polarized light under the ocean so seeing it is fairly common. What's NOT common is polarized light that travels as a spiral. Mantis Shrimp seem to have evolved the ability to create spiralized polarized light and use it to communicate. As far as we know no other animal can make or see it.

In addition, government research in the sciences is miniscule. You could cut ALL of science funding and be no where close to the 1 trillion that Musk claims he'll be able to reduce the budget by

In 10-15 years people will be nastalgic for Fortnight the way people are nostalgic for Xbox 360 halo

And a Creationist!

I was made for this class

Because the moon is moving away very slowly there will be a last total solar eclipse at some point. We're lucky to have such good ones currently

I've heard that's the plan. They're dedicating an hour to the presidential candidates. If only one shows up then that candidate gets the whole hour

Harris is showing within the margin of error for polls nationally

What we really want to do is look at her chances of winning each state to see the probable delegate total but it's WAY too early to tell and either way we shouldn't get complacent

I think the dude in the pic is trans masc

Yup. Wish I could encourage throwing runners because they'd get more sun that way but I just enjoy having them. They're hardy little dudes
