WeAllKnowWhyWereHere , in First Class amenities on Emirates Airlines

Cool cool, well I’ll be back in scum class sitting straight up with my knees pressed into the seat in front of me for 10 hours with the other poors.

Well, we’re poor, so we deserve DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS.

ExtraMedicated , in Temptations of an open-source browser extension developer

I also got a bunch of these emails about my dumb little game on Google Play.

This is one of those scenarios where I assumed this was a thing but couldn’t have anticipated how vile it gets. Gods, please let open source maintain its culture and not be corrupted by profiteering capitalists.

AbidingOhmsLaw , in Recovering orphaned radioisotope sources in the wilderness

Just for clarity, this video is a portion of a larger video on the subject and the medical cases shown at end of this video are of the farmers that originally found the isotope canister, NOT the recovery team.

arin , in The erotic temple sculptures in Khajuraho, India

Now that’s a religion i support

PsychedSy , in What common clothing threads look like under a microscope

Clothes are all of a sudden disgusting to me. Artificials are now much more desirable.

BlackLodgeCooper ,

Except they shed micro plastics everywhere including the water supply.

SwallowsDick ,

Don’t worry, skin up close is much worse

PsychedSy ,

You don’t have to remind me how disgusting we are.

Gingerlegs , in What common clothing threads look like under a microscope

Never thought I wanted to bang a piece of fiber until this pic.

TheManIsInsane , in What common clothing threads look like under a microscope

Alpaca superiority on display. Thick but also fineeeee.

chuckleslord ,

So warm and also cool. Fucking love it, favorite souvenir I have from Peru.

Hotzilla , in Barreleye fish: The deep-sea weirdo with rotating eyes and a see-through head

Very rude to call it wierdo, you are making it feel bad :(

soupspoon ,

I thought the same thing! I felt a little better when they explained why it’s awesome further down, being an awesome weirdo is good

The article explained that in the twilight zone (200-1000m down) there’s just enough sunlight filtering through that creatures on the sea floor make shadows, and they’ve evolved bioluminescence to eliminate those shadows, but this fish’s eyes filter out sunlight so that it isn’t fooled. That’s pretty neat!

Norgur , in Hi there!

This is a ridiculously convoluted survival plan.

Smoogy ,

I’d expect something like this from Charlie on IASIP

coleandfries , in Hi there!

Lol the parasite is waving at the camera.

I never thought a parasite could look this cute

Smoogy ,

It looks weirdly cuter than the fish itself

Oh, sorry. Disclaimer: Color may not be to scale.

Stoney_Logica1 ,

So scratchy. When I lived in the barracks I used shirt-stays to keep that blanket nice and tight for any inspection. I kept a cotton comforter in my wall-closet and would toss it over the made rack and just sleep on that with a second blanket over me. In the morning both would go back into the locked closet and I’d still have a perfectly made rack after some slight straightening.

Looks itchy

Doxin , in What common clothing threads look like under a microscope
@Doxin@yiffit.net avatar

While a neat picture, as I understand it the itchiness of wool mostly has to do with how long the fibers are. With short fibers there are lots of fiber ends poking out of the fabric everywhere. Alpaca or merino wool has much longer fibers, avoiding this issue.

Erk ,

Pretty sure you’re right. The scale on wool actually gives it some of its desirable properties I believe, like being able to cling to itself for easy splicing and felting.
