      in a way that isn’t bound by the speed of light

      But also in a way that is utterly useless for faster-than-light communication.

      Isn’t quantum mechanics fun? :)

    Perovskite photovoltaic cells are named after Andrej Perovski, who invented them in 1965 in St. Petersburg. The technology was shelved for decades due to poor longevity and high costs at the time, and Perovski never lived to see it picked up again and developed like it is now.

    When I was a teen, my sister came home one night hammered. She was worried that she had work the next morning and was going to be hungover.

    I told her I saw something on the discovery channel (early 00s) that businessmen do to reset their internal clocks when they travel! They put small flashlights in their socks, pointing them at the back of their knees. Yeah! Apparently if you expose the back of your knees to light while you sleep it totally resets your internal clock!.

    Not only did she wedge two flashlights into the couch cushions and sleep on the couch, it placebo worked so well she went to work and told everyone about her new life hack.

    The female lesser prairie chicken, the only remaining wild chicken, will peck holes in their own fertilized eggs in times of scarcity making it one of the only other species on Earth that perform intentional abortions.

      So… Bonsai fish? Can I make a regular fish into a starfish shape? I mean I wouldn’t, cuz that would be cruel; I’m just asking in principle. Because that’s where this would seem to lead lol
