Interesting

I seem to have made a mistake then. Thank you for correcting it.

May I ask what is special about cobalt in B12 specifically? I've come to realize there are numerous inorganic substances inside my body like copper, gold etc. so cobalt by itself doesn't really stand out anymore.

As a person who was born liking music, I indeed find it too bizarre to believe to be true.

I suppose it is for the best, but nonetheless I find it uncomfortable how our bodies have the ability to manipulate our brains' memories and our consciousness residing in the same place cannot do anything about it

I wish we could test this out with only simple apparatus. Unfortunately the common people do not have access to satellites or nonstop bullet trains.

Blows my mind how this by its bare bones is just simple statistics and combinations but is a totally different story when described in English. I'm sure there are similar facts like this that are mathematically logical but to a layman is confusing and inconceivable.

Heard about it. I initially thought the universe should exist regardless whether someone is there to observe it or not...

...but then I also studied quantum mechanics, so I am not really in a position to say anything...

What would happen if you were to put both of yours legs in these westernmost and the easternmost parts?

I've seen this fact somewhere before, but I still am unable to grasp it in my mind

What's even more fascinating is that most of the stars we see in the sky are afterimages of primitive stars that died out long ago yet they shine as bright as the stars alive today

Interesting fact: the sun becomes 1 million tons lighter every second.

I often used to look at it as a child, however the adults wouldn't let me. I knew there was some ulterior motive behind it.

I sincerely thank you for understanding my situation and giving me actually useful advice.

I am just a casual person who takes privacy a bit more seriously than the general public. To be frank, I don't even use Google services that much. I just wished to end my reliance on Google due to what I learned about their practices. However I can only go so far. I have a busy life and I do all these privacy related work during my free time. I don't have a GrapheneOS compatible android phone, I don't have the liberty to switch to a new phone, and I don't have the knowledge to set up a custom ROM. I just want to take as many measures to increase my privacy without going to extreme measures like rooting my phone or setting up pihole.

I've tried to use alternatives from f-droid. switched to firefox (specifically mull), disabled unnecessary permissions and telemetry from Google apps etc. However, seeing all of the comments here suggesting actions that I am simply unable to take feels like all the other things I've done so far have been in vain and I should just succumb to Google's spying, which I am feeling to do indeed especially after learning how much data Google has collected about me, making privacy in my phone virtually nonexistent.

Lol I thought at first devs calculated exactly what portions of the apps need updating and uploaded only that much portion in the app stores. I dunno what to make of this discovery now.

I'm sorry, but I do not have the time, experience or knowledge to set up custom ROMs in my device at the moment.

Manufacturer's version of Android. I've logged in the apps with multiple Google accounts.

While I could consider using my browser instead of apps for all google related services, I don't think outright removing the accounts from my phone since Google has mandated use of mobile verification (the one where they ask to choose the correct option from the three given number) and I don't want to provide them a phone number for SMS verification. I fear I would be locked out of my Google accounts if I don't have them signed in in my phone directly.

I tried checking Shelter, however it says it is best optimized for Pixel phones and grapheneOS (which I have neither of) and you already said sandboxing in Android sucks, thus it may not be beneficial to go through all that effort to setting up the separate profiles if it isn't even going to work well.
