You mean aluminium? 😉

And their sand, needed for building.

They need to cause it'll take them so long to get out

This is so they can hide longer from predators, mostly. They're actually really fast swimmers, compared to their on-land speed capabilities (x3). They can hold it for up to 40 mins, because they can slow their heart rate. But it's usually only about 20 mins. That's long enough to hide perfectly still and quiet away from a predator, or cause the critter to get bored waiting for a sloth sized meal.

Human unborn babies can hold their breath for nine months, which is quite a feat.

How did we find that out? :(

What about above water? lol Unless they are deep enough for pressure changes - holding your breath is holding your breath whether it is under water or because a stinky diesel truck just drove by.

Aw look at his haircut, he's so cute 😍

I tried to get a gist of quantum physics because of a book I was writing. It's the most bonkers thing imaginable. Infinite respect for people who study it in-depth.

Each year, the number of people killed by sharks averages only a few dozen more than the number of people killed by Saturn's rings.

Your head is a resonator but only you can hear it.

Hey it was cold in the pool!

The apple sneezed it out. Cashew! 🤧

People also ask What is difference between flammable and inflammable? Flammable and inflammable do not mean the same thing. If something is flammable it means it can be set fire to, such as a piece of wood. However, inflammable means that a substance is capabble of bursting into flames without the need for any ignition.

More proof that evolution is true.

I heard they tried to breed to ensure their survival, but they just couldn't get over the hump.

Luna used to orbit a lot closer. It is gradually moving away from us. Eventually the eclipses will not be total. Not in our time, however.

WellIneverknewthisSeemslikeitwouldmakereadingcommentsquitehard.

The first cans were made of wrought iron (like fences) and lined with tin. The suggested method of opening (according to the manufacturer) was a hammer and chisel.

To be specific, one day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days, while one year on Venus takes only about 225 Earth days. Meaning it travels around the sun faster than it rotates on its own axis.

Cleopatra ruled Egypt at the very end of true Egyptian history. After the time of Alexander the great. She was Macedonian Greek by heritage.

There is a 100% chance that while you're busy doing statistics, someone eats your cake.

And a peanut is not a nut. (Edited. Thank you Impasta) And Stonehenge is not a henge. Meanings of words change over time, more so than names.

What, like, WD 40 ?

Because you're adding Oxygen. The ash is Magnesium Oxide. But some mass will be lost as smoke so will only work in a closed environment.

Only experience it through temperature or touch.

When building it, someone misunderstood the directions.

And one trillion seconds is 31710 years.The scary thing about that is the US national debt passed 34 trillion dollars on Dec 29, 2023. For reference, it was 1 trillion dollars in 1981.

There’s one star in our solar system

It totally depends on what you mean by 'matches'. Lighters were brought out in 1824, and friction matches in in 1827. However, the first self-lighting match was created in 1805. by Jean Chancel.

Come on guys, maybe try the maths at least before calling this BS... Common paper thickness is ~0.09 mm. Fold it once, it's now 0.09 x 2 = 0.18 mm. Fold it a 2nd time, 0.09 x 2² = 0.36 mm. Fold it a 3rd time, 0.09 x 2³ = 0.72 mm. etc. Fold it 42 times, 0.09 x 2⁴² = 395,824,185,999.36 mm = 395,824 km. Earth-Moon distance is on average ~384,400 km.

My experience shows that babies will do whatever they flipping please regardless of what science seems to think

The speed of light is constant to all reference frames within the same medium. Someone underwater watching light travel through water will perceive a different (slower) velocity from an observer in space measuring light's velocity in a vacuum.

This is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle - almost. It's actually the speed, not momentum (although they are related). In order to measure its velocity, one has to know its position; but to measure its position more accurately, the less accurately one knows its velocity.
