If you can afford to, go to a good podiatrist- they’ll make a custom set of soles for you, plus additional advice on how to manage pain or strain.

Yes, but Taiwan has been functionally independent for over 70 years now, and have a very different social, political and economic context from mainland China.

On one hand, Taiwan deserves to be free from China, but on the other, relying on an openly genocidal country for it…

… I never thought I’d see a day where I agree with MTG on so many things…

Elements with a proton number less than or greater than iron become more stable as they approach iron, and so, over very, very long timeframes, from random quantum tunnelling effects, will favour being iron over being other elements.

Thus, in 10^~1500 years, virtually all atoms in the universe will turn into iron, assuming protons don’t decay (which may or may not happen).

Poetry was always about bringing an element of playfulness to language- if it brings you joy, do it.

Anti-memes cross-posted to memes… truly, we live in the end times.

Once upon a time, as a kid, I cut myself with a razor leading to this cool scar. I used this scar for a very long time as a way of differentiating between left and right lol

We actually don’t know if distance is quantised- while distances smaller than the Planck length don’t make any sense with our current understanding of physics, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the quantum of distance.

I don’t know to what extent this just me noticing this more, but is there a significant rise in pro-socialism and pro-communism content over the past few years in direct response to the increasingly obvious failures of the capitalist system?

Downvoting because no “rule” :(

I take umbrage with the idea that gravity is necessarily quantisable- for all we know, it can’t be quantised.

The podcast Let’s Learn Everything did an episode on this- the answer is that most fields of study under biology have different definitions based on their needs - there’s about 20 or so definitions in use currently.

*you leave grandpa and grandma out of this!

Is it surprising though? Natural fruit doesn’t have the same shelf life as modern farmed fruit, so it’ll start fermenting in just a few days - add in alcohol having a lot of calories, and so the chimpanzees naturally won’t skip out on it either.

How can they blackmail trans people/keep them as slaves if they have rights? That’s the true reason behind them being anti-trans

Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.

This is basically the evolution of language in a nutshell.

Bottle gourds are still eaten pretty regularly in India, and I suspect, other parts of the world too.

Yep, I just checked Wikipedia, and yes, tons of people around the world still eat it.
