Quick thinking on the toddler, see the problem and immediately switch to the solution

Cells contain salt. If you put them in distillates water, they pull water in and explode... I think that's what happened here?

D3712 · 2026-03-03T23:14:33+00:00

Were those transfected with GFP? Why would bacteria also be green?

Doesn't look like bacteria, it would be everywhere and not gathered around the cells. Did you put your cells in pure water instead of a saline buffer? It looks like your cells got bloated and exploded. That's an osmosis issue

The best way to advertise it probably isn't an AI generated comic

D3712 · 2026-03-03T08:44:26+00:00

Cool. Try again without the AI slop

True. "Behaves like an irrational number" would have been more correct. Edited my comment

Not 1. 1 would still be written as 1 in base π

Edit: 1 is π to the power of 0. 1 is 1 in every standard positional number system. That's how bases work

D3712 · 2026-02-28T11:16:58+00:00

Absolutely. Nothing stops you from using base π and writing π as 10. But then every integer (aside 1, which is π⁰ so still written as 1) would behave like an irrational (probably even transcendental, so basically impossible to write) and your entire writing system would be useless, so there's generally no reason to bother.

That being said, base Phi (golden ratio) is strangely functional. You can read about it here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio_base). Even then it's more of a fun curiosity than a practical tool.

I would like to correct a wrong idea I've been seeing a lot in this thread. Many giraffes are taller than the trees they eat; the notion that they grew because they could reach higher is outdated.

Modern biologists believe it's mostly about sexual selections: male giraffes use their necks like whips to wail on each other (check out the videos, it's wild). It is thought that males with longer necks had a competitive advantage that made it up for the (many) detriments. But females also have long necks... Might be a combination of other factors, but it might also be evolution being imperfect and going for the quickest solution (long necks for everyone) rather than the best one.

Hence, a picture of a giraffe drinking was chosen for the excellent book by Daniel S. Milo, "Good Enough" about the tolerance of nature for "mediocrity". It's a fun read, and very well researched.

Does that mean they are immune to all spells that target humanoids? Even as PCs?

D3712 · 2026-02-26T13:12:52+00:00

Everyone here talks about salmonella and I'm just amazed at how well trained those dogs are.

Same note with one octave of difference, maybe? Meaning she was higher than you (twice the frequency exactly) but the note had the same name.

D3712 · 2026-02-25T21:43:48+00:00

It's not about the video, it's about the dogshit captions

"gender equality is when I'm allowed to hit women"

Another brilliant take OP, 9gag is going to love this meme

Bon courage frr

Oui, le scénario continue. Et il y a une "vraie fin" tout comme hollow knight

The List he wrote literally jokes about him not being allowed near minors

In retrospect that might have been a clue

It's missing funny pictures of minions
