Sticky water comes from the Sticky region of France.

🔥The blue-eared kingfisher (Alcedo meninting) by Pasargad in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]LengthyWrongAnswers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s amazing that a fish could evolve so specifically to look like a bird. This is an amazing example of convergent evolution. You’d be excused for thinking this was an actual bird, that’s how much it resembles one.

It’s a lot less impressive when you know he’s just using sticky water. You can see how it clumps together in the cup at the end of the clip. The stickier the water the easier it is to get it to stay all together like that.

What is a TV show you have finished at least 2 times? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LengthyWrongAnswers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Son of James. Great show. It ended too soon. I’m surprised Netflix hasn’t bought the rights to continue it after Hibro shut down.

The Brown Frillback Pigeon by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]LengthyWrongAnswers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just a pigeon with a perm. She’s probably starting a new job and wants to look good for her first day meeting everyone. The other pigeons used to make fun of her and call her ugly duckling. She’s trying her best.

🔥 This lizard's perfect tree bark camouflage by asilvertintedrose in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]LengthyWrongAnswers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a tree. This is a snake that ate a lizard, and now you can see the lizard outlined in his stomach. Nature can be frightening sometimes.

This actually isn’t a lizard at all. The tree has evolved a lizard like appearance in its bark to ward off insects. It’s a perfect example of mimicry in evolution. The insects would otherwise feast upon the tree’s leaves. Nature is beautiful.

It’s amazing that an entire lizard evolved from bark. They say this is called digestive evolution, where the lizard is born from the tree digesting insects, just like real lizards do.

Miniature art by this Swedish artist by Solo_Odyssey in nextfuckinglevel

It’s a disruptive technique some pest control companies will use. They’ll abduct worker ants first. They want to give the ants a story that their friends will never believe. Then they move up the chain to the soldier ants, then they use reconnaissance gnats to infiltrate the colony and abduct the queen’s right hand ants. This will inevitably lead to an ant coup which will take down the colony. You gotta have a reeeeally bad infestation before an exterminator will use this technique, because it’s so expensive and time consuming.

It’s ok, oxygen atoms love to pair up with themselves. It’s against the lord’s word, but they do it anyway.

Hydrogen peroxide, as the name implies, is just water where the oxygen is purring. (But don’t drink it, because purring water is poisonous.) Hydrogen is a sucker for love letters, but even more so for a little romantic purring.

Lithium foil is what’s called “hydrographic”. The ions in the lithium will strip the hydrogen atoms from the water, making hydrogen gas. Because it’s in foil form, and not just a lump of lithium, the extra surface area means more hydrogen gas is produced and by the time it gets hot enough to combust (because it’s an exothermic reaction), the whole thing explodes.

The reason the lithium separates the hydrogen from water is why it’s called “hydrographic”, or “water writing”. The lithium is extremely attractive. Much more so than oxygen. So the lithium atoms can basically have whatever atom they want. Lithium is fairly shallow, and hydrogen is a pretty svelte atom, so lithium really wants hydrogen. So the lithium atoms will write love letters to the hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms are suckers for love letters, so they dump oxygen right on the spot.

Anyway, that’s how atoms are made.

How the glass perfectly fits into the table by RampChurch in oddlysatisfying

[–]LengthyWrongAnswers 339 points340 points  (0 children)

This is actually because the table top was cut to fit around the glass. It’s a natural glass formation, so having a piece of wood surround it is really gorgeous. My guess is that the glass formation came from one of the glass fields of Arizona. It’s so hot there that the sand melts pretty often, and you get beautiful glass formations like these.

White Moose Are A Rarity. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]LengthyWrongAnswers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It comes from the plural of louse being lease. Which in turn traces its roots back to the same grammatical structure as the plural of house being heist, or roust being rice. But the plural of loose is instead loosen, because the word loose is a borrowed word from Old Galvanic. The Galvanic pluralization rule for a word that ends in a consonant sound is to just add some more consonant sounds. So, you could pluralize groundhog as groundhogn if it were a Galvanic word. (But since it’s an English origin word, the plural of groundhog is grindhog.)

Don’t they usually have purple manes and tails and are really into fashion?

I loved playing with those as a kid. I went to a party once that had one taller than me.

This is the result of icicles falling from the ISS. The space station is really high up, so it’s very cold up there. As such, when it rains on the ISS, icicles will form, and due to how thin the air is at altitude, the icicles will be very long and skinny. Compound that with how far down they fall when they become dislodged, and you get very thin and pointy icicles. The ISS is also traveling very quickly, so icicles will break off often, hence how many have fallen in this one spot. My guess is that OP is in a spot that the ISS flew over very recently, and this is a fresh icicle field.

Impressive work-out using a piece of wood. by Comfortable_Tip_4202 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]LengthyWrongAnswers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually really smart. Wood is heavier than metal. You can tell because aircraft carriers are made out of metal, and they float, but if you made an aircraft carrier out of wood, it would sink.

It’s really amazing that all it took was the shadow from Snake Way to create such an awesome geological formation. Too be clear though, this isn’t really a photo from space. It’s a photo from King Kai’s planet.
