diseases in english are like “oh you have conjungitivitistittis. :)”
german meanwhile is like “you have hurty tummy syndrome :////”
going to a doctor in english: my esophagus seems to be inflamed and my trachea is itchy
going to a doctor in german: uwu dokteur, my eat-tube and breathe-tube are hurty :[[
dokteur: ahhh, yes, that is the eat-tube-and-breathe-tube-itchy-hurty-syndrome, here have some ibuprofen
“i need to go see the otolaryngologist” “oh you mean the throat-noses-ears-doctor?”
birth control vs. antibabypillen
getting a ride 2 tge hospital in an ambulance vs. getting a ride 2 the sickhouse in a sickwagon
Is this really what german is like?
yes.
would u guys be mad if i started calling mint “fruit”
NOSSOSOSODID OOOOOO MINT IS A LEAFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
my favorite little fruit <3
ITS AN HERB IT HAS LEAVES AND AND YOU PUT IT ON RAVIOLI!???
U PUT MINT ON YOUR RAVIOLI???????????
THEN EXPLAIN THE GREEN STUFF ON THIS!!!!?
BASIL
STOP SAYING ITS PARSELY I DONT FUCKING PUT PARSELY ON MY RAVIOLIIIIIIIII
WHATS PARSELY
THIS IS PARSLEY
THIS IS BASIL
AND THIS IS MINT
WHICH ONE ARE YOU PUTTING ON YOUR RAVIOLI?!?!?!
ITS ALL LEAF!!!!????
Just pull shit off a tree and throw it in the pot it's all leef!
Future archaeologists will assume that civilization's downfall was inevitable
Me watching anything these days.

How’d y'all get these???
I don’t know how many people are active here anymore,
But holy shit is my mental health tanking right now.
Oh, to be a 1930s neon salesman
consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
Teen: *gets a job*
“I GOT THE JOB!”
Parents: Well, when I was your age, I already had 5 jobs and was supporting my family
Teen: *gets all A’s*
“I worked really hard!”
Parents: Well, of course you did, this is the expectation, not a celebration.
probably why so many teens take to social media where they can enthusiastically share their interests and achievements and get positive feedback that their parents never gave
me finding out who was talking shit about me

Neutron Stars Are Even Weirder Than We Thought
Let’s face it, it’s hard for rapidly-spinning, crushed cores of dead stars NOT to be weird. But we’re only beginning to understand how truly bizarre these objects — called neutron stars — are.
Neutron stars are the collapsed remains of massive stars that exploded as supernovae. In each explosion, the outer layers of the star are ejected into their surroundings. At the same time, the core collapses, smooshing more than the mass of our Sun into a sphere about as big as the island of Manhattan.
Our Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station is working to discover the nature of neutron stars by studying a specific type, called pulsars. Some recent results from NICER are showing that we might have to update how we think about pulsars!
Here are some things we think we know about neutron stars:
Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars ✔︎
Pulsars get their name because they emit beams of light that we see as flashes. Those beams sweep in and out of our view as the star rotates, like the rays from a lighthouse.
Pulsars can spin ludicrously fast. The fastest known pulsar spins 43,000 times every minute. That’s as fast as blender blades! Our Sun is a bit of a slowpoke compared to that — it takes about a month to spin around once.
The beams come from the poles of their strong magnetic fields ✔︎
Pulsars also have magnetic fields, like the Earth and Sun. But like everything else with pulsars, theirs are super-strength. The magnetic field on a typical pulsar is billions to trillions of times stronger than Earth’s!
Near the magnetic poles, the pulsar’s powerful magnetic field rips charged particles from its surface. Some of these particles follow the magnetic field. They then return to strike the pulsar, heating the surface and causing some of the sweeping beams we see.
The beams come from two hot spots… ❌❓✔︎ 🤷🏽
Think of the Earth’s magnetic field — there are two poles, the North Pole and the South Pole. That’s standard for a magnetic field.
On a pulsar, the spinning magnetic field attracts charged particles to the two poles. That means there should be two hot spots, one at the pulsar’s north magnetic pole and the other at its south magnetic pole.
This is where things start to get weird. Two groups mapped a pulsar, known as J0030, using NICER data. One group found that there were two hot spots, as we might have expected. The other group, though, found that their model worked a little better with three (3!) hot spots. Not two.
… that are circular … ❌❓✔︎ 🤷🏽
The particles that cause the hot spots follow the magnetic field lines to the surface. This means they are concentrated at each of the magnetic poles. We expect the magnetic field to appear nearly the same in any direction when viewed from one of the poles. Such symmetry would produce circular hot spots.
In mapping J0030, one group found that one of the hot spots was circular, as expected. But the second spot may be a crescent. The second team found its three spots worked best as ovals.
… and lie directly across from each other on the pulsar ❌❓✔︎ 🤷🏽
Think back to Earth’s magnetic field again. The two poles are on opposite sides of the Earth from each other. When astronomers first modeled pulsar magnetic fields, they made them similar to Earth’s. That is, the magnetic poles would lie at opposite sides of the pulsar.
Since the hot spots happen where the magnetic poles cross the surface of the pulsar, we would expect the beams of light to come from opposite sides of the pulsar.
But, when those groups mapped J0030, they found another surprising characteristic of the spots. All of the hot spots appear in the southern half of the pulsar, whether there were two or three of them.
This also means that the pulsar’s magnetic field is more complicated than our initial models!
J0030 is the first pulsar where we’ve mapped details of the heated regions on its surface. Will others have similarly bizarre-looking hotspots? Will they bring even more surprises? We’ll have to stay tuned to NICER find out!
