You guys realize this means we ALL have to vote now. No "don't wanna vote biden" excuses now- if we don't vote our rights are going to be taken away.

There is never going to be a perfect candidate, but there is a worst case scenario candidate, and it's the fucker that's gonna win if you don't vote

Okay, this is pretty incredible. A 3D artist, consulting scholars and archaeologists, worked for a year and a half in Blender to create a reconstruction of pre-Columbian Tenochtitlán, complete with the surrounding landscape. It’s staggeringly beautiful, and—at least to me—gives a wonderful impression of the city as a place where people worked and lived and worshiped

Every spring, pelagic cormorants find a safe and snuggly spot under the Aquarium’s back deck to build nests, lay eggs, and raise their chicks. These awkwardly adorable avians grow up quickly! Within 40-50 days, they’re ready to fledge the nest and take flight on their own adventure.

So I was made to feel old today...

[theprogressivesadist]

Two decades today

[myothertardisisonthemun]

I sent a letter today - something I haven’t done for years

It’s full of plastic bread clips

It’s for Science

[myothertardisisonthemun]

At the risk of loosing some mystery, I think I should add some context:

There’s this website-I mean, scientific organization called the Holotypic Occlupanid Reasurch Group.

They are a group of abiologists who study and classify Bread clips.

I found a species that has not yet been described:

Yay for citizen science 👍

[numberlover1729]

wtf?

[myothertardisisonthemun]

Update:

[meckamecha]

Apparently HORG is widely appreciated by pediatricians since knowing exactly what kind of Occlupanid a child may have swallowed makes removing it safely much easier

[the-real-numbers-deactivated202]

IIRC this is actually part of the reason HORG was started. A man swallowed a breadclip and the clip closed around part of his tissue linings (in his intestines I think?). The specific shape and flexibility of the clip were significant determining factors in the removal process, as some bread clips have spikes and prongs that would have made extraction more complicated. They started the taxonomy so they could work out extraction techniques for each type.

[wyndryga]

are you fucking kidding me occlu like oculus or close and panid like bread. its a fancy word for breadcloser
