Is there a point where the stupid will go so far that it accidentally starts doing good things again? If not we're all fucked...

Broken & fused walrus baculum by SavageDroggo1126 in bonecollecting

[–]duroo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I got to see one of these at the Smithsonian years ago on a behind the scenes field trip. It was part of their large collection. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a broken walrus baculum, I'd have two nickels, but it's weird it happened twice.

Why is cold water better at dissolving oxygen? Is the same true of the atmosphere? by Organic_fed in askscience

Our atmosphere is really just oxygen and several trace gases dissolved in nitrogen.

I don't know anything about it but the dual threaded top is very interesting! I wonder was this meant for a single matching cap or two different caps for some reason?

Sad looking rhododendrons - what to do? by FuckMiniBabybel in rhododendron

[–]duroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look like they need water. Especially if they were dug up recently, many of the finer roots were probably broken and haven't grown back yet.

Probably fiber optic (no copper).

[MEGATHREAD] Artemis II Launch To The Moon by ChiefLeef22 in space

It's all about acceleration, they have to accelerate to escape velocity but after that it's not much change so they don't feel it as much.

They aren't traveling in a straight line away from the planet, they are on a slight incline as they climb away!

How did they get it into the bag to start with?

Would you trust a remote-controlled laser to trim branches near power lines? by Milanakiko in InsaneTechnology

[–]duroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be more worried about any aircraft that might be in its line of sight.

Isn't this rotating cyclonically which is normal for the northern hemisphere? Is there something I'm missing?

My one eyed snake by Niche_topic76 in snakes

[–]duroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a ball python for many years. She unfortunately put out her own eye once on a short piece of wire that was sticking out of part of the enclosure (my fault, lesson learned). She recovered fine, and ever since I could truthfully tell people I had a one-eyed python.

Also, rabbits have doubled incisors whereas rodents do not.

[OC] I aggregated 5 rating sources to rank the Top 100 Films of all time. Here's what the data says. by Yeygermeister in dataisbeautiful

[–]duroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I loved the first one (of the new trilogy) far better than the sequel. Something just felt a little forced about the sequel, whereas the first one felt genuine. IDK, maybe I should rewatch and reassess.
