I wonder if it might engender an advanced sort of solipsism and callousness towards other people. After thousands of years of the world coming and going around you while you remain, would you even recognize other people as real or meaningful?

I still refer to energy drinks as caffeinergy sauce.

They’re really easy to make.

Kind of makes me think about comparing the very fucking long period of time before agriculture where humans were just monkeying about compared to the shorter period of time afterward with a lot more people and then even the relatively quite fucking short modern period with even so many more people. When you think about the rate of change of human living, for instance, how fast it is now; is that just because there’s so many more of us? I mean there’s more of us because of things like the agricultural and industrial revolutions, but is it also a bit of a feedback loop? There are perhaps some frightening connotations to that - but to say my actual point, maybe it’s appropriate to think about the “amount” of history in human-years rather than just years.

Hymenoptera means “membrane wing” which I think is pretty neat.

I am quite afraid of bees and wasps, but I know how to be chill around them and haven’t been stung yet. This is good because I also love them.

This is one of my pet trivias :) hard to remember the pH for bogs and fens though. It has something to do with rain vs groundwater.

Florida has to be one of the best places for offshore wind power, right? What are we even fucking doing dude

I dunno, I’m looking for more like 8+ hours of modding troubleshooting to really get into it.

They’re thick because descartin’ his ass around all day.

Do you have any idea how many people that is? How do you suppose you’d accomplish it? What sort of impact would it have?

counterpoint:

My dad was telling me earlier about how these crows have been hanging around our house and he saw some squirrels trying to chase them off.
