Rhode Island isn't really an island. Like, yeah it's named after one of its islands, but people who live in the state are on the continental part. I thought the whole state was an island lmao

Not a doctor, but my understanding is that excessive electrolytes are hard on your kidneys. Most people do not need an electrolyte drink everyday, unless they are athletes/regularly working up a sweat or missing salts in their diet

Also another fun fact: not all tardigrades are capable of going into the tun state. For example, aquatic tardigrades that live in freshwater streams can form what is called a summer egg, which allows them to survive hot and potentially dry conditions, but I don't believe much has been studied on this alternative state. IIRC marine tardigrades also cannot achieve the tun state, so this really only applies to terrestrial^*^ tardigrades.

^*^Terrestrial tardigrades are also sometimes referred to as aquatic tardigrades as they are only active (not in the tun state) in the presence of water (e.g., after it rains)

I've explained to many adults, many with college educations, that insects are animals. Understandable for those who don't realize corals are animals, but they think bugs are plants or something? Smh

I've only have wild boar jerky before and it was pretty tasty, but you gotta get the meat tested first bc they can carry some serious diseases.

Sorta fun fact from my organizmal bio teacher: the reason you never hear about pork being cooking medium rare is that we are fairly closely related to pigs and so we are susceptible to many of the diseases that can infect pigs.

My theory is that if YouTube profiles people as likely 18-45 yr old male, then they shove right wing propaganda down your throat even if you don't align with it in any other way based on subscriptions/search history/etc.

That's a solid meal, I wish I liked beans more since they're so cheap and healthy

That would be awesome, I wish that had existed a few months ago.

A tortilla throw blanket. This purchase has brought me so much joy, and it's super soft and comfy and looks hilarious when you're being a lazy couch burrito. I've been thinking about getting a baguette pillow to keep the food theme going lol

Wait, I was gifted and I've always wondered what it means or what it was referencing. However, I don't really see that much similarity between his protest signs and this format, is there something I'm missing?

Info about fed employees' names, job titles, and salaries is publicly available info, bc the government is actually more transparent than the slack-jawed yokels will have you believe. Kinda like how your political party affiliation and whether you voted is publicly available.

I'm here. Just 2 more left.
