CoMaps is really neat, and is superior to Google Maps for me because you can download offline maps, meaning you can still view it without a signal. It has a slick UI and is even available on (desktop) Linux (better mobile Linux support is being worked on)

You seem to enjoy using the word “chud” as well, if that means anything.

But it looks like you post in bursts, multiple within a few minutes of each other, which doesn’t help your case. This makes me think that they are planned, for whatever reason I’m not sure.

From your post history, it looks like you primarily post political news and memes, and many of these have been posted communities where it is off-topic. There are a couple harmless goofy memes in there though, so I don’t think you’re a bot

Speaking as somebody who is autistic (diagnosed with Asperger’s as a kid), autism is a spectrum, it’s not a blanket statement that autism is a serious mental disorder that “hinders average behaviour”. This implies that you think autistic people are “not normal” and they can’t do things that “normal” people can.

Yes, there are many cases of autistic children being nonverbal and having severe learning difficulties, and more care should be directed to assist them in their education. More attention should be directed at supporting them rather than big greedy corporations and the military. But it’s not okay to put down others simply because they are autistic.

But of note, I do think the people who say things like “Autism moment haha” are not always in the right either, but this depends on context. It’s something like how people say a joke is only funny if everybody is laughing, if you’re the only one who thinks it is appropriate, it probably isn’t.

Also, how is this a science meme?

It looks like this user posts lots of posts every hour, that’s a little suspicious. That makes me doubt you have good intentions.

Shallow underwater breath, since phytoplankton require sunlight. Less sunlight can penetrate into deeper water

Well we are assuming the space cat (i.e. it is not an ordinary cat) is emitting a white light (it’s a hot glowing cat!), that is, the peak is in the middle of the visible spectrum. The cat becomes closer to red as it moves away and to blue when it is moving towards us. If it goes fast enough, the peak shifts to IR (past the red) or UV (past blue/violet)

But yes, if it was a normal non-space cat, the peak would be in the IR normally (since cats are quite cool, in both senses of the word), and as it moves away the peak shifts to longer wavelengths, and as it moves towards us, it will go to shorter wavelengths, possibly becoming visible if fast enough.

But that isn’t really reproduction, and not comparable to the death of a star

The new object, which the team call an exosatellite, is at least as massive as Jupiter while the brown dwarf has more than 30 times the mass of Jupiter

“The satellite we report is a giant gaseous body orbiting a highly massive companion, itself several times the mass of Jupiter.”

Oh wow, that’s a massive “moon”!

“The exosatellite is clearly massive enough to be a planet, but it does not orbit a star, though it orbits an object that orbits a star,”

“Being the third wheel in this system makes us want to call it a moon, even if it is nothing like the small, rocky moons we have in our system.”

Jupiter-like object revolving around a brown dwarf, which itself is going around a proper star.

They are assuming that pain is a reaction to some sort of stimulus. In this case, of course living things with some sort of nervous system will feel pain, as they react when they are hurt, but one could argue that hitting a stone very hard could deform it, cause it to wobble, create cracks, etc. and that could constitute as pain.

Of course, this really stretching the definition of pain by a lot. Personally, I don’t think stones feel pain.

Doesn’t “archangel” just mean the head/authority of the angels (usually depicted as friendly and helpful)? Like how archbishops is to bishops.

Wait, what does this mean for Arch Linux?

This one is not so lovely (also by PDF)

I think that makes sense, water is absorbed into the bloodstream, right? And then the kidneys filter the blood and the bad bits + excess water is peed out. Which is why your pee looks saturated yellow if you are dehydrated and almost clear (but don’t drink it!) when you have drank a lot of water.

Any remaining water in your digestive tract that isn’t absorbed would be in your poos! If you have diarrhoea and your poos are all liquidy, that means water is not being absorbed properly (bad!)

I didn’t do Biology, I’m a Physics+Chem student, so this could be completely wrong!

As for birds being dinosaurs, you also have a lot of physical similarities too! The feet of non-avian dinosaurs are similar to those of modern birds with hollow bones, and I think the skulls were similar in shape too. Recently, we have also found evidence of some dinosaurs being feathered. There is also evidence of bird-like behaviours in some dinosaurs, like brooding (e.g. a hen sitting on some eggs) and herding (grouping together)

Too bad, now you, me, and everyone is a fish. All the tetrapods were originally descended from fish (technically, the ancestor to the modern kind of fish), meaning we are closer to bony fish than sharks are!

Mammals (including us humans!), reptiles, dinosaurs (and by extension birds), and amphibians are all FISH!

our robot overlords will pamper us as much as I pamper my chickens

Unfortunately for us humans, the majority of chickens live in horrible conditions in large corporate farms. Should the robots ever start to take over, I hope by that time we will be treating other species better, else they learn from us!

As it turns out, it’s called global warming since it is affecting the whole world. Now that heat waves are becoming a large problem in NA and Europe, Western media (being based there) is more likely to cover that. But lots of places have already been experiencing greater storms, floods, etc. due to the increase in global temperatures. And from my own experience in Asia, it’s really hot in the summer now, sometimes over 34 degrees (Celsius), far more than just a few years ago!

The seabass were too strong for the British to colonise

I believe this is because many languages will interpret that differently, and Wikipedia having contributors from around the world writing in different languages, decided that clockwise is a good universal instruction that is more difficult to mistranslate.

If the instructions were “left to right” and then “top to bottom”, a bad translation might end up making it mean the top to bottom first and left go right last.

Reading order

In Arabic (and a few other languages too), things are read RTL, and plenty of Asian languages, at least traditionally, are read top to bottom first.

Doing it clockwise is seen as a more universal instruction I guess? And I don’t think it’s too hard to figure out. I might also be to make the instruction more concise!

Even if this were the case though, life on Mars (or anywhere outside of Earth) would be a really cool discovery!
