I have one of these stereoscopes! It came with a bunch of nature scenes, but a few slides had 1800s 3D porn too!

I was wondering why it seemed inverted to me. I saw crevasses instead of mountains, but it didn’t make sense
This is the epitome of why I love science. It’s all about keeping an open mind, because things WILL change as we gather more evidence and study it. I was sharing paleontological facts with my family (who are politically conservative), and because the data is different from the first time they learned about raptors, they refused to believe me. It made so many things make sense. We literally have proof that dinos had feathers, but they didn’t want to believe it.
If someone’s favorite subject in school was science related, I want to be their friend. Everyone here, you’re awesome. Let’s keep learning, growing, and making silly memes about it 😁
I’m a postmortem scientist and one of the scariest things I learned in college, was that only 85% of gun suicide attempts were successful. The other 15% survive and nearly all have brain damage. I only know of 2 painless ways to commit suicide, that don’t destroy the body’s appearance, so they can still have funeral visitation.
My neighbor HATES me because I’ve been converting my backyard into clover. We have fireflies, Butterflies, bees, bunnies, all sorts of wildlife. It smells beautiful, but we are an oasis amongst upper-middle class lawn zombies… Mowing, edging, pesticide spraying, weed killing zombies.
Meanwhile, I have milkweed, clover, chive, snapdragons, black eyed susans, grapes, raspberries, lilac, echinacea, chamomile, lavender, hydrangea, coreopsis, and salvia. I welcome wasps that eat pests, I buy bags of ladybugs, I compost… I’m really trying. It’s only 1/4 an acre, but I’m trying.
They look like a type of Grey mold, to me. Spray it with some neem oil, and it’ll go away
I’m terribly confused and would like sources for this statement. I have a medical science degree; and none of my main sources, peers, or anyone in the Endometriosis community mentioned statistics remotely close to that… and I researched it thoroughly because I also had severe PMDD.
It was a wonderful, easy, low-pain, and simple procedure, which gave me my life back… and I was on my feet shortly after. I swear by it, and am severely immunocompromised, so anything healing related that can go wrong will go wrong; yet I’m great, years later, and so so happy.
The main risks mentioned: Periods coming back, bleeding, infection, harder to detect cancer, and (ironically) sterilization.
Could there be another medical procedure that was in mind?
During the huge fires in Australia in 2019/2020, the Kangaroo Island “Pelican” Assassin Spider vanished because their entire habitat burned. Only 2 have been seen since the fire… but none in the last 4 years.
But no, no, climate change isn’t real… humans totally aren’t the problem…
Assassin spiders have been here for 135 million years, and now they’re being annihilated in the only 3 places the entire planet they still cling to life.
I don’t even like most spiders, but I saw scientists risking their lives to try and save insects and arachnids that only existed in those parts of Australia, because no one would try to help them, like they would a cute Joey. No one cared. I knew I needed to spread the word, so every time posts like this come up, I mention the Pelican Spider. It’s absolutely HORRIFYING to look at, but it deserves to live and be safe
Yes please cause FUCK the “women don’t have pain receptors down there”… IUDs and Cervical Cancer cancer biopsies are the 3rd and 4th most painful experiences I’ve ever had.
#2 is spinal tap, #1 is a labiaplasty… mine was medically necessary, but I want to scream at everyone who feels they need a labiaplasty to feel beautiful… 1 year of pain, 6 months without orgasms, so many complications, I screamed so loudly they had to sedate me again because I was TERRIFYING people in the hospital. It hurt so badly I thought death was preferable.
Wtf?! My doctor suggested Endometrial Ablation and it was PHENOMENAL. Yeah, they put an electrical net inside of my uterus and burned the shit out of me, but it was a one time thing and it stopped my periods, PMDD, mood swings, and lessened the chance of my Endometriosis coming back. More women need to do this. I’m so so happy.
Not quite the same, but I’m waiting for the day when people will pronounce street names like the GPS, instead of how they are actually pronounced. The street Schoenherr, in my neck of the woods is pronounced "Shane urr (yes, like the planet Omicron Percii 8, cause Detroit (Day twah) is weird), but the GPS says “Shown her”. I’m really curious to see how long it takes for the computer voice to be considered the correct one.
Digital items, but Amazon intentionally makes them impossible to find. There’s a ton of e-books and Audiobooks that are $0.01 - $0.05, but Amazon intentionally buries them under the “free with Kindle subscription” crap, so that people can’t milk this without really putting in the effort
This makes me happy. Hopefully it’ll encourage more people to help with his charity work too.
It’s crazy that people keep saying she prosecuted thousands upon thousands of black individuals with Marijuana charges. I swear people don’t know how to Google and find out that she oversaw 1900 cases, (which was a total for her AND those under her) but only 45 went to prison for it… and those were extreme cases. I’ve used the LetMeGoogleThatForYou site more than I’d like to admit.
The scammers always have a field day with elections because so many people are too politically charged to do research. By LAW, every US campaign has to have the actual name of the person who’s sending texts and if it doesn’t, you know it’s a scam. If you have T-Mobile, you can forward the text to 7726 (SPAM) and they’ll shut it down. Never ever respond to these. Don’t even say “STOP” because then they’ll know it’s a number connected to a real human and not a business… a human they can scam.
What you’ve said is true. In my forensics class, we learned that police can actually use plants to find dead bodies, because you can see a noticeable oval of healthier plant growth. Older cemeteries flourish. There’s a few stories from the Neolithic Era about planting crops on the deceased, both humans and animals, but it’s mostly been erased from history. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s happened during Famines or situations like the dust bowl where civilizations weren’t rotating crops and depleted the soil.
We have a break room, and some people pack food from home? Morbid fact; if a decedent who has excess weight, gets cremated; the whole building smells like bacon. I remember walking in one day, (at my first job that had a crematory retort inside) and was so excited thinking our boss had bought us breakfast… nope… I gave up bacon for over 2 years.
Mortician here! This is, luckily not true. Recomposition is already legal in several states and they’ve had massive success with it. The national and state forests that received the recomposted remains are thriving. The only downside (for some people) is that the person who passed cannot be embalmed, and in most states, that means it’s illegal to have an open casket visitation to the public. Most states have laws that family can see their loved one without embalming if it’s been less than 48 hours after death, but they need liability waivers. The public, however, cannot be a part of an open casket funeral, unless the deceased has been embalmed and sterilized. Closed caskets are fine at any stage. They make hermetically sealing ones that lock in the decomposition smell and keep people safe.

Recomposition (or Natural Organic Reduction) is already legal in several states: California, Washington, Vermont, Oregon and Colorado!
As of right now, I think the compost is only allowed in national and state parks, but they’re doing testing on farms to check if there’s dangers to us consuming the crops and it’s been very successful and safe.
Most diseases and viruses can’t survive the composting heat and the plants are thriving. It uses 87% less energy than cremation and burial and stops embalming fluids from leaking into our ground water. I’m really glad this is an option.
There’s a scam company that claims you can put cremated remains in the ground and grow a tree… yeah, cremated remains turn into concrete when wet and the heat of cremation denatures nearly everything beneficial for plants. We constantly have to tell people not to put cremated remains on plants or the plants will join the family member that passed…
The deceased person’s body will turn splotchey and cherry red. A lot of people go via nitrous or carbon monoxide. The blood vessels don’t like it.
