On Dolphin Turbulence

Dolphins are such fast and agile swimmers that, naturally, scientists have long wanted to understand how they swim so well. A recent study draws on numerical simulation to analyze the flow a dolphin creates when flapping its tail. (Video, image, and research credit: Y. Motoori et al.; via Ars Technica)

Welcome to Hungary, we have "cube cheese" (kockasajt) which is triangle shaped and comes in a round container. Oh and has a bear dressed as a waiter on the cover. Because we can.

Justice for Hungary!

Justice for Kocka Sajt!

Egykoron kocka volt.

És persze never forget Mese, the chocolate cube cheese triangle. It was so horrible even children hated it.

also, we have (had?) the Mackó cheese, the one with the waiter-bear, but we also have Medve cheese (medve - bear, mackó - teddy), because bears and cheese go together like...umm...they just do, mkay?

also also, there are different flavors, and of course we have the smoked sausage flavored bear cheese, because Hungary fuck yeah

#bear #cheese #this will cause some confusion with fans of bears

It's lunchtime...

...and I just remembered that one time when we were preparing food at my, hm… friend's apartment.

When there's chopped vegetables just sitting there, unattended, I help myself. So I grabbed a few pieces of raw potato and casually popped them in my mouth the way I've done my entire life.

The looks I got, oh boy… I've never seen someone's mouth literally fall open and stay like that for a couple of seconds.

I was clueless, so I asked "What's wrong…?" And they started panicking, like, "You're going to DIE, it's poisonous!"

Which was news to me, because I've been eating raw potato since I was a kid and had no idea it wasn't normal until that moment.

(PS: I still do it, I now know that it's not very healthy - though it is definitely not poisonous - but I'm weak)
