It’s fascinating hearing how other people think. My dad says he has to think of a full sentence word for word before he says it whereas I don’t know what I’m gonna say until I’ve already said it.

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

What's your own equivalent of "Viggo broke his toe kicking that helmet you know". What's that one little bit of weird trivia that lives in your head and you cannot help but talk about when it comes up?

Mine is that the activist Malcolm X was sampled in the soundtrack of DS game Sonic Rush (and the tune is banging btw)

For me it's "Neopets used to be owned by scientology," because anytime I hear someone parroting that I feel compelled to tell the ACTUAL story:

The first ever outside investors to Neopets was in fact a group of scientologists, however they never actually influenced the content of the site (though there were apparently some attempts to add various concepts of scientology, which the actual Neopets team quickly shut down). Mainly they contributed to way the company itself was structured, and to how the site was marketed. However they did make ONE longstanding contribution to the site: the three scientology reps who would regularly visit the Neopets office to check on them would go on to inspire three villain NPCs on the site, who's whole deal was influencing people with promises of money and power to control major events from behind the scenes

Idk I just think that's way more interesting and also way funnier
