#ELI5 Why is water see through?

I'd never thought about it like this. Wow.

I've been a member of the xerces society for about two years and I'm really happy with their work. They are a charitable organization focused on invertebrate conservation. If you become a member not only will you be supporting a good cause but their magazine is amazing. They also have lectures and other events you can attend.

Invertebrates are often overlooked so I'm glad they're out there.

(If anyone know of an ant conservation group lemme know~)

One of the biggest generation gaps in America is people born before versus after getting shot in school by a mass shooter was a genuine risk that affected your school life.

Who would have thought that adding a Sierpinski Triangle Fractal as musical notes would actually sound good!😅

In 2011 I happened across the story of the 1970s "Stop de Kindermoord" protests in the Netherlands. It was forgotten history. No-one had covered this subject in the English language in decades and it was rarely mentioned in Dutch.
Protests about the lack of safety for children on the streets became a highly effective movement which fed into the safe cycling infrastructure which we have today. Nowadays, most Dutch children cycle independently in relative safety, to school as well as to visit friends etc.
I'm happy to see that this subject has been picked up by many other people in the last ten years, though sadly it still hasn't been translated successfully into other countries' policies.
