Timothy the Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius) at the San Antonio Zoo demonstrates why he's not in the petting area using a Fall pumpkin. 🦛🎃 The bite force of a hippo is ~2000 psi, producing a force of 8100 Newtons. So why does a GRASS-EATER have jaws stronger than a polar bear, jaguar or lion's?

Absolutely what this student says. One of the most profoundly sad things about AI boosters is that they seem not to understand that the journey is more important than the destination, the thinking, the understanding, the revelation that comes along the journey is what matters, not the end product.

I've created a sideboard map creation site: load your deck, meta auto fills, complete the matrix, print your map. Sideboard mapping made slick. Give it a try, share, feedback is welcome. Updates from @badcardsout.bsky.social in the near future, so follow along there for more. badcardsout.com

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

'You'll choke too' - I wanted to reshare my wildfire aerial embroidery now summer is finally over as it really meant a lot to me. Autumn is here but as the fruit ripened much earlier than normal, I worry the little birds and animals won't have enough for the winter...

Burnout's no joke kids

A joyous fat bear week to all 🐻

Don't know what to say anymore

NEW CAT JUST DROPPED!!!!!

Still waiting for the 200 articles on James Orr and/or Dan Ariely. And the pundits falling over each other to analyse what these cases teach us about academia or even present-day culture in general.

I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

100's of fascists storm Dover *explicitly* to block roads with the threat of violence in a racist "protest": No arrests. Just Stop Oil members plan to disrupt a highway in a zoom call: 4-5 year sentences. The pigs don't go after fascists for the same reason Peter Parker never fights Spider-Man.

you can rest here to recover your hit points and spell slots.

I feel like I’m living In a dystopian novel written in 1993 that was rejected by dozens of publishers because it was incredibly stupid.

⛵ 🛰️🏛️ What would have happened if Odysseus had Galileo when he set sail for Ithaca after the Trojan War? A ten-year journey completed in a matter of weeks…but then we wouldn't have The Odyssey. How does modern satellite navigation relate to Odysseus’s journey? Find out below⬇️

Thank you for being yourself Dolly

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Just remember shit like this whenever you hear people talk about AI.

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.

As an adaptation of Homer’s epic, the Honda Odyssey is a complete disaster. With its roomy cabin and rear entertainment system for the kids, the minivan foregrounds concerns that only arose with the American nuclear family and say nothing about the brutality that underlay the Bronze Age.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

The inextricable inherent value of human life is really stifling debate you absolutist leftie scum

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.

If you ever wonder why flagrant but complex crimes seem to end up in a torpid state of permanent state of investigation, it's because the police response is often "wow, sounds difficult. sending thoughts and prayers."

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.

Makes it sound like she’s leading an unprompted crusade against the film so that we all go ‘what a load of elitist gatekeeping’ when actually she was commissioned by a literary publication to give her opinion as a scholar for people who like to read that sort of thing

I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

In Alexandre Dumas' 1846 novel THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, the titular Count "hacks" the telegraph system, a novel technology at the time, as part of his plan to avenge himself against the Baron Denglars. Thus, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is canonically a progenitor of cyberpunk. In this essay I will

Well, ‘happy’ 13th birthday to this headline, I suppose, even though it doesn’t seem to have aged

not that there isn't some pleasure to take in farage falling out of favour and taking a kicking, but i always resent what a fix the whole mainstream UK news media is. when you're in they help you hide your scandals, when you're out they suddenly rediscover them. breaking news: some old news we hid

Thanks to art director Anh Nguyen, I could be part of the Secret Lair X Global Fund for Women "Their Magic is Limitless", and proudly illustrate "Lathril, Blade of the Elves" . 50% of the product price will be donated to Global Fund for Women. #mtg
