Sharks do not have binocular vision in the same way humans do, so their depth perception is less precise. They rely more on monocular cues (e.g., size, movement, and overlap of objects) and motion parallax (relative motion of objects at different distances) to estimate depth.

This dude a freak

No such thing as a vampire wombat, that we know of.

No such thing as a vampire wombat, yet.

Cheese dick lmao

Or they don’t really understand percentages.

Danielle Navarro recently wrote an amazing blog post about this phenomenon. It’s long and detailed so my favourite kind. It even shows the code.

And I realise now that other people are different from me. So the essence is: people may struggle with exact percentages but generally they can put things in order from more rare to more common, sometimes people really don’t know and they guess which gives a big difference when the true answer is very close to 0% or 100%, and finally… I don’t know, I forgot.

It’s not bone teeth like mammals. It’s beak teeth, even on the tongue.

PS a slop anti-slop post is the perfect shitpost

Driverless metro is the best thing since sliced bread. And there are drivers in a control center at all times, they just control more than one train.

A. I don’t get it

B. I hate that big fucking misspelling

C. I hate the rest of it

Barbeque sauce is like half sugar

No?

Like, read this article:

If their bodies were able to synthesize all the amino acids they need they couldn’t get an amino acid deficiency syndrome.

Gorillas aren’t bacteria, archae, or chemists.

What the fuck? There’s 20 amino acids. And I’ll bet you anything that the same amino acids are essential to gorillas and humans. We are weird creatures and our genetics stand out among the great apes but that’s too much difference.

Gorilla digestive systems are longer and they have this special thingie that I’ve forgotten the name of to help with plant matter digestion. They aren’t like ruminants so they can’t really digest fiber but also don’t think they are coprophages like rabbits.

Humans have massive brains that suck up a bunch of energy. We use the brain so our bodies don’t have to do as much work. Carrying around more muscle than you have to is a recipe for being out-competed (e.g. Neanderthals). But if something like the myostatin gene is knocked out or it’s expression is reduced by generic mutation then we also build a lot more muscle. The only issue is that we don’t have millions of years of evolution for that situation to match the rest of our bodies.

It’s dumb. Why run. He ded anyway.

Because you are bad at counting. There’s one more at the very end, behind the branch. You can only see an eye and an ear.

What, like I was going to use human sperm? That’s way too expensive.

So Travis is packing (is his name Travis?). I’m suddenly invested again.

I love mathematicians and I love that this is what they came up for with regard to applications of ring theory:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_theory#Applications

No one means Laplace the person if they say Laplace. And the same for Lagrange though that’s usually only Lagrange points and Laplace is mostly the distribution but also other stuff. Very little of mathematics is named for women because of misogyny. The only thing that comes to mind is Noether’s theorem and that’s not something you come across often. We have Pythagoras but not Hypathia. Einstein but not Maric. At least Lovelace is as famous as Babbage.
