I think I've been in this boat without necessarily realising. Last film i saw at the cinema was the hobbit. I had no idea they'd decided to split the story from that short children's book up into multiple films, so I was very confused and disappointed by the end.
I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure that is basically true in a way. As per zr0's top-level comment. Forms of life that can make do with less cellular respiration, for example by using external sources to regulate temperature (cold- blooded), don't need to invite as much oxygen into their cells, and so they get less weird damage over time.
Mammals in general have not adopted this strategy.
It was a good while ago now, but the research I've seen into the issue seemed to show that income and happiness are correlated up to about £50k / year (median income was in the low 30s I think back then).
After that the "mo' money, mo' problems" effect becomes dominant.
My pet peeve is this but for signage in general. Workers put out a temporary flood or road narrows sign, but forget to remove it again, the net effect is just people learn to not notice signs as much, and works against safety.
Still regularly see signs about masks obligatory, keep 2 m distance, and one-way systems from covid. They're just part of the background now, people don't even see them. And next time they'll be that much less effective.
I didn't think I had one, but when I read yours I remembered mine.
If I see someone parked carelessly all the way over in the side of the space, I'll park nice and neatly right in the middle of the space next to them, not allowing any extra space for their selfishness. I'm OK with squeezing in and out, and my car is much older and less valuable than any of theirs if they damage it, so I feel like I'm doing society a small service by making my weird passive-aggressive point this way.
I've heard their wings can break your arm, so it might not be just as simple as that. Still probably a good first step. But if this happened when he's out swimming where he can't stand, that would be an advantage for the swan.
Why did you think crocs had holes that size?
Haricot are probably the most widely eaten bean in western (croc-wearing) food cultures, so it seems like an obvious design choice.
Yes, that 'void' would still have fields running through it - electric, magnetic. Whatever the fuck gravity actually is.
The universe apparently has an edge, so maybe on the other side of that is the absolute nothingness? But does it really exist in any meaningful sense? If spatial dimensions themselves are part of what ends at the edge, there kind of isn't an other side.
Maybe not really existing is part of the definition of absolute nothingness.
