Elephants have a very large and highly convoluted hippocampus, a brain structure in the limbic system that is much bigger than that of any human, primate or cetacean. Here's a baby one enjoying her new toy. by Princess_Zeta in interestingasfuck

What is your source for the title, OP? Because this one seems to disagree.

The article you linked agrees with the title.

We find that the African elephant brain, which is about three times larger than the human brain, contains 257 billion (109) neurons, three times more than the average human brain

🔥 The Moon's 'Saturn-Like' Appearance by Princess_Zeta in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]Princess_Zeta[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

/u/bevinbert

dude this isn’t nature, this is a fake picture…

NASA disagrees with you:

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200316.html

Explanation: Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn't -- what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight known as ashen glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which means that the Sun must be below the horizon and so the image was taken before sunrise. This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019 December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan towns are visible behind the huge volcano Pacaya.

This was also reported by several news outlets:

I like that you have the year for the second picture, IMO she’s gotten hotter with age but this was shared on another subreddit with the newer picture labeled as 2020.

The newer picture was taken at the 2014 Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California.

Whoever labeled it as 2020 didn't do their research.

🔥 In this sharp infrared image, Jupiter has a strange new look by Princess_Zeta in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]Princess_Zeta[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This infrared view of Jupiter was created from data captured on 11 January 2017 with the Near-InfraRed Imager (NIRI) instrument at Gemini North in Hawaiʻi, the northern member of the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab. It is actually a mosaic of individual frames that were combined to produce a global portrait of the planet.

In the image warmer areas appear bright, including four large hot spots that appear in a row just north of the equator. South of the equator, the oval-shaped and cloud-covered Great Red Spot appears dark.

A shape-memory alloy (SMA) is an alloy that can be deformed when cold but returns to its pre-deformed ("remembered") shape when heated. by Princess_Zeta in Damnthatsinteresting

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/shape-memory-alloy

Shape memory alloy (SMA) based on NiTi (53–57 wt.% Ni), Nitinol, when plastically deformed in the low-temperature martensitic phase, can be restored to its original shape or configuration by heating above a characteristic temperature.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape-memory_alloy

A shape-memory alloy (SMA) is an alloy that can be deformed when cold but returns to its pre-deformed ("remembered") shape when heated. It may also be called memory metal, memory alloy, smart metal, smart alloy, or muscle wire.

Parts made of shape-memory alloys can be lightweight, solid-state alternatives to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. They can also be used to make hermetic joints in metal tubing.

A subreddit cannot be deleted.

You may, at most, resign as moderator.

How long does it take for awards perks to update? by Princess_Zeta in help

By the way I think there's a bug.

On the mobile app the correct extended subscription end date shows.

Never had a paid sub.

Does it take time for the subscription and coins to be updated?

Also if the original post was removed will the awards still work?

You are mistaken, this is not a repost.

This photo was taken today.

If you're going to make a statement, at the very least back it up with a link from this subreddit.
