^ historically/statistically there must have been a sailor serving in some navy with the nickname Moonshine.

But also just for fun:

Yeah, I was almost OK with the plot, they (re-)set-up the story fairly nicely, for a moment it had potential.

:'(

(Different definition/pov of what is measured, yes, that is where the joke is.)

Hehe, look at this falsehood - there is no way this things can talk!
(However imho this is a more clear example of ‘two different definitions’ of the main concept/phrase intentionally mixed together for comedic effect, bcs words can explicitly have more than one meaning, and yes, usually you can tell from the context.)

This pic is def:

This “fun fact” mixes up the two definitions, making the statement meaningless.

Or at least the merit part of meritocracy being an overall gain for society/foss space (same thing), not individual isolated achievements/products.

With that mindset of overall benefits you do move on from strict meritocracy bcs everything is a group effort, of not just direct contributors (but obviously mostly of them) but ultimately of all stakeholders (users too).

We all need to grow, and I think, given reasonable opportuneness, we do.

The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!

Hey, sexy bone-marrow pelvis, shake them atomic gains!

(OK, but like, if I produced synthetic plutonium I would make the box look like a chocolate box. Those workers & engineers deserve to have a fun work environment, engage in some shenanigans, make an oopsie from time to time.)

this is a commonly repeated falsehood obvious joke

And, if I have to explain the joke: it’s just E=mc² (the Einstein thing … well, the Einstein’s thing’s approximation), the energy (E) is the same for all mass (m) since the c is a constant.
You get the same 21 billon kcal from 1g of apples as from 1g of plutonium.
And since it’s usually well known humans do not devour mass into pure energy that might trigger ppls sense of humour.
(Additionally the idea of eating metal to seek nutrition might be funny, but we do need some metals \m/.)

Also “potential energy” phrasing is weird in that context.

There are 2 different definitions of calorie.
This “fun fact” mixes up the two definitions

It’s not even two definitions, the kcal is absolutely the same, it’s just used to measure two different things (mass energy vs the sum of what an average human can extract via chemical processes). I see you def understand that, but it’s not a different definition of a calorie (in the same way as length vs width of an object isn’t a different definition of a metre).

Equivalent-level of fun fact: 1 gram of hay contains that much calories too!

Zomg, where are all the warning labels???

I mean, you can heat any old rock & make it look like that … what I’m saying is that every rock, when heated to 500+°C, will gain delicious orange flavour, but scientists don’t want you to know that!!

Well, but it’s clearly the cat’s sink - how you gonna explain that??

Yes, they seem like the cheapest of China brands (if I see correctly, the electroplating is peeling/getting scratched off??).

(Pictured is prob not the cheapest price available - and also it doesn’t mean companies arent rebranding these & selling them for 20× the price.)

lemm.ee :‘’'(

Wireguard.

It doesn’t fit at all but I still hear the Sealab 2021 theme song …

Yeah, but 230 million years is/would be new info & older than thought.

Edit: o shit … with wings.

This specimen comes from a communal latrine in the lower Carnian deposits (∼236 Ma) of the Chañares Formation, La Rioja Province, northwestern Argentina. The tiny fossil scales are hollow and ornamented, which is a synapomorphy of Lepidoptera and suggests that they could belong to this group. If this is the case, the Chañares scales would partially fill the temporal mismatch between phylogenomic date and the fossil evidence of butterflies and moths because they preceded the previously oldest lepidopteran record by c. 35 million years. Moreover, the scales have a combination of features present in early diverging glossatan lepidopterans. The inclusion of the temporal data provided by the Chañares scales into an updated temporal calibration of lepidopteran phylogeny shows that the proboscis, a key evolutionary novelty for the group (Glossata), evolved between c. 260–244 Ma. Thus, the proboscis-bearing lepidopterans would be part of the repertory of new plants and animals that diversified during the aftermath of the EPME.

Just monopoly things.

Yes, I agree.
But Sony has drivers out there for a few more devices.
