Malaria is a mosquito-borne pathogen. You’re thinking of maltodextrin.

You can always trust SatansMaggotyCumFart to chime in with the wholesome memes.

Ah yes! The famous three branches of abrahamic faith: Judaism, Islam, and America.

Duct tape and wd-40: the fifth and sixth classical elements.

ETA: Yes, that definitely needed clarification.

Gray shit on your everything, concrete fucking everywhere, looming threat of 2-ton steel death machines caving in your head, overheating everywhere, asphalt plowing through everything, soaking up the sun at every step, tough lessons in momentum for kids crossing them, lot of traffic and pollution when there are drivers out.

You could change half of your words, and keep the meaning the same, and make a compelling case that roads, or any other things, are humanity’s greatest scourge.

If all you can do is complain that the natural world is insufficiently bent to your personal convenience, you are the problem with humanity right now.

Go touch whatever remaining local flora people like you have allowed to continue to exist, and quit being an imbecilic bellend online.

Totally the wrong place in the thread, but I think just going to the Library, proving that you are from the future with some basic knowledge of chemistry, and telling them that they need a backup in the caves of the Sinai Desert would probably be my go-to. Give them some pointers on multi-millennium document storage.

That was less for you than for the people who come after, still ignorant of the crimes of Edison. A just world would not even remember Edison’s name.

and was inarguably the better inventor and thinker, since Edison was a plagiarist and marketer who made incremental changes to the designs of other people, and nothing more

FTFY

Ooh, interesting! Perhaps if you cooled the top and heated the bottom quickly enough? The biggest problem is that the convective drag needs to be high enough to cause actual subduction. In my Earth Science class, I just add mica powder to water, heat it from below, and show them Rayleigh-Benard convection cells.

We do get cracks. They’re the divergent plate boundaries. Water and ice just flow on time scales far too dissimilar to make an appropriate rate model at the cracks.

As a teacher, I cannot tell you how much this changed my life. I just spew their random shit right at them, totally straight-faced, with a painful degree of enunciation. They do not say those words again in my presence. Their cringe feeds me. I also find it helpful to try to get them to define each term, in excruciating detail, then I destroy the word for them.

Well, yes and no. The pH scale follows the hydrogen ion concentration, but specifically in aqueous media. The reason 7 is in the “middle” of the scale is because the natural dissociation of water sits at equilibrium at 10^-7 M H+ at 298K, IIRC. So perturbations naturally just displace that specific equilibrium, so it absolutely is normative to water.

Option 31: Water. Ever seen how much damage an incompressible fluid can do when it cavitates?

Hey, sure, singlet fluorine is real bad, but even diatomic fluorine is only barely less reactive than singlet.

You just can’t handle the sheer bulk of his pecs.

AH, I just realized after watching the video that you thought I was talking about the blue people. I meant the arrow head airbender one.

It’s not papyrus. I looked it up, and it’s “Herculanum”

Why are we using the avatar font? Is this some common font that I’ve just been missing?

Too true.
