I guess Earth has a 'backup' life just in case the surface dwellers are stupid enough to destroy themselves. ;)

I think Coconut Oil is healthy as long as you consume it sparingly along with other #health regimen, such as exercise. I mean, if you ingest copious amount of coconut oil but sit on the couch all day, then you'll die. Balance is the key.

Was drinkin moonshine and started to read about it. Found out that if you burn moonshine and it has a reddish flame, that means it's toxic. Hence the mnemonic "Lead burns red and makes you dead." or "Red means dead." Then I wondered if it has something to do with Red Dead Redemption. Yes. There's moonshine in that game. Anyways trying to find a lighter now...

My Azul board game just arrived. Quite excited to play it with fam tonite.

oh hey i learned something new today! Our intestines (not just the bone marrow) can produce blood cells! Thanks to #Science for this amazing discovery! http://www.thetelegraff.com/source-blood-cells/

I wanna explore the intersection between 'Philosophical Fiction' and #SciFi by reading the most awesome books that belong to both genres. Fediverse, your suggestions are welcome!

The Simulation Hypothesis: Is Reality All Just A Computer Simulation?"

As technology improves, the possibility that our world may be a simulated one is becoming more and more probable. But can we ever prove that we live in a simulation of a reality?"

Just wanted to say that i'm appreciating the fediverse more and more each day. When i think of the federated model or instances, i see images of neurons, nodes, rhizome, networks.Decentralized yet connected. Amazing.

@citrustwee pixelfed is used for image-sharing on the fediverse. I just joined it the other day.

Q: Which tool for #nodejs is ignored way too often by developers?

Lately been studying the history behind things about #Mechs & #Mecha . This article mentions several mecha that I've not seen before. Good list for mech toy collectors/hobbyists looking to expand their collection.

Bringing balance to the universe: New theory could explain missing 95 percent of the cosmos

Scientists at the University of Oxford may have solved one of the biggest questions in modern physics, with a new paper unifying #darkmatter and #darkenergy into a single phenomenon: a fluid which possesses 'negative mass." If you were to push a negative mass, it would accelerate towards you. This astonishing new theory may also prove right a prediction that Einstein made 100 years ago.
