Yea, I think this is where I’ll be.

To whatever dad’s and mom’s may be here. My dad died an ocean away while I was finishing my PhD, he used to take me to science museums and do kits with me. I got to tell him over the phone before he passed, but I’m still so sad. I feel so guilty. Please tell me he’d be proud of me. He was an engineer and a lawyer and worked with the disenfranchised too. I miss him a lot. I haven’t been able to feel good about it.

Sitting on hay bales in the summer night watching meteor showers, listening to the crickets and sounds of nature. And so many lightning bugs.

Yea, he died, then a month later my grandma and two uncles died. This year sucked.

Yea, I’m moving out of that one right now and it’s paralysis and it sucks.

Mine was last year too, but it’s been finally hitting me very hard due to everything else that’s going on.

Why is she so thicc

Precisely. :)

Like everything in life, tl;dr it’s complicated, but no doubt she got a little more sunkissed lmao.

I live in a seaside tourist town and have had to fight them for food in my hands. Those cheeky fuckers will swoop you like raptors.

It’s the special sauce.

PS, thank you for making me write that out. Gonna modify and add to the sidebar.

DM me for email or I can link a wetransfer. :)

An eel is something you don’t see every day, so I like to leave reminders of the wonder of the natural world; but I am partial to earth science as that is what I do.

I am trying to do something a little different than pure filing an item into categories. And, it’s a science sub, so experimenting is encouraged. I try to prune lightly, especially if something creates interesting discourse. Use best judgement to fit the vibe, rather than black and white rules. There are other definitions of meme too, check out the Dawkins link in the sidebar. That is the vibe, the mechanism behind the meme, make people ask WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and especially WHY, like you just did. :) “Capital S” Science is a conversation, after all. Academic journals are essentially like old school, pre-computer forums.

There is a lot of science with cars, creativity is encouraged. We see cars all the time, but there is a lot the average person does not know about a car. That would be what to aim for for that topic. If you want to talk about something you see, rather than a cheap laugh, chances are someone else will want to talk about it too.

It’s not just about facts, its about inspiration to look at the natural world around you. :) Check the pinned shitpost paper.

Ayoo that was good lmao
