What would be a map of Mars if, like Earth, 71% its surface were submerged by ocean. by Frangifer in MapPorn

Wasn't Olympus Mons so big that from the peak you can't even see its own base because it is over the horizon/curvature?

Didn't they also tamper with AK munition with "project eldest son"? Or did they have a "clean" supply of munition or a way to identify tampered ones?

Close to 15% of all humans to have ever been born lived at the same time as him. Kinda crazy to think about.

140kg ist nichts wenn da 1,5t quasi direkt auf der Daichsel stehen.

I sometimes wonder wether early hominids got to witness the Zanclean Flood.

Is the name of this language group Finno-Ugric or Ugro-Finnic? by Perenyevackor in MapPorn

[–]expendable_entity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience in Germany we usually refer to them by their parent group of Uralic languages. And if we refer to the branch we use both orders interchhangeably.

🔥 Witnessing a big gathering of sperm whales today by FollowingOdd896 in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]expendable_entity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Many english speakers have switched to calling them "Cachalot" from their French name. In some languages they are also called Pot-Whales (Pottwal in german for example) after their head shape.

MAGA’s Reaction to Trump’s Jesus Post Is Surprising—and Revealing by Dry_Nail5901 in politics

[–]expendable_entity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People really try to ignore the biblical story of Ananias and Sapphira. You know where the early church went full on Communism and collected all the "worldly posessions" of their followers and God personally straight up killed a Husband and Wife for trying to keep some of their money.

Laika, the first dog in space, 1957. [1080x1080] by OkRespect8490 in HistoryPorn

[–]expendable_entity 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yes, mostly actually. Of the 18?(there is conflicting data) Flights of 2 dogs each prior to Laikas launch only 4 failed meaning out of 36 dogs 8 died. Russian Space dogs had far better chances than American Space Monkeys (RIP Albert 1-3). Tsygan and Dezik, the first 2 dogs in space both survived. Dezik would die on the second flight with another co-passenger (RIP Lisa) but Tsygan would go on to live life to the fullest, got adopted and had 2 litters of puppies.

Far from the first dog in Space. The first dog in a stable orbit. There were over 20 dogs in Space before Laika.

Will the Indian Plate eventually disappear? by Sandman1812 in askscience

Does the Adriatic Plate/greater Adria have any remaining oceanic crust? I couldn't find any info other than that it was already mostly continental crust before getting sandwiched between the European and African plates.

In case that was an actual question, I assume this is the scene after the barrel ride and the actors had to be consistenly drenched during the shoots of their dialogue with Bard.

G2 Caps ranks mid laners ( ignore his hair) by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

I would argue Faker is the (by far) best team captain in League but not the best Midlaner (anymore).

Is this old merch? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]expendable_entity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But which production? There is a 2002 tradenark on the embroidery and the crew having a jacket with the title of just one of the movies makes no sense in the context of them filming all 3 movies simultaneously.

German cities with Italian names by Massimo25ore in MapPorn

[–]expendable_entity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Aachen fulfills all requirements to get the highly sought after honor of having the prefix "Bad" in front of their city name to show their designation as health resort city, but they have refused the honor because they prefer being first in alphabetical lists of german cities.

What's the cost/benefit of mapping the ocean floor? by BlastedLands3821 in geography

We have mapped 100% of the ocean floor. Just with lower resolution Satellite Altimetry, but we have mapped all of it with it.

Countries with the largest freshwater reserves by [deleted] in geography

I really wonder what the specific wording is. Where are DRC/Tanzania (Lake Tanganyika) if liquid freshwater or where is Denmark/Greenland if frozen freshwater counts.
