Petrolium is made from ancient algae and plants, not dinosaurs.

It’s only science if you’re willing to accept the conclusion the observations lead you to even if they prove your idea wrong, because the point of science is to learn and gain understanding, and that is done by being wrong about things and investigating to find the correct answer.

It’s no longer science if you’re not willing to accept the conclusions because they prove your idea false, which ultimately is the problem that happens with science deniers, they are unwilling to accept being wrong.

Good point, though it still won’t melt all at once though it takes time to melt and boil (not much time but still takes time).

It won’t float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.

Edit: Melts, doesn’t sublimate, still won’t melt all at once though.

I can do at least 45 seconds up to a full minute.

This is science memes, what about this post do you find similar to egg_irl?

Also can use Obtainium to fetch updates directly from the git services of apps.

It does seem nice but I hear the association fees there are insane.

People can make dents in the outer shell of human knowledge without having PhDs though. As in to discover something new and revolutionary, plenty of great scientists have and likely many more will continue to.

Well Rotating a rotor on a generator is the most convenient way to make electricity with parts that last a long amount of time. Also doesn’t help that we use AC power while other sources like photovoltaic produce DC power which needs to be converted to be used.

It’ll be harder for most people who don’t know how to set profile picture using the API or network requests field, since the way the Lemmy Frontend is done it requires Uploads in the Frontend, but doesn’t actually require them to set the image (just a URL to the Image, I have mine set to a Codeberg Repo containing the images, allows me to change them whenever I choose, and also guarantees stability since image hosts can be fiddly and also allows Tor users to see them more easily (many image hosts have connection issues under Tor, causing connectivity to be inconsistent).

I’ve never seen one up close before, it’s interesting how much their fins look like feathers, though it shouldn’t be that surprising given their purpose.

Just goes to show how much the universe is a chaotic and cruel place, hopefully we won’t end up joining them in the cold dark void in our future.

It’s a similar story with Fungi since mushrooms are the reproductive part of them.

I unfortunately haven’t been able to get the ones I grow to be very tall. They never grow taller than about half a meter even in a big pot. They’re still pretty but I wish they would grow bigger.

Yeah sunflowers are awesome.

Don’t feel too bad, that person is a troll who’s been known to start trouble with others over very little or stupid things.

I’ve actually never had catfish before, I’ve heard people say it’s good though.

“Planet” in my book is anything that’s too big to just be a large lumpy rock. Something with sufficient gravity to pull itself into the shape of a sphere.

The idea of planets needing to orbit in eliptical orbits on a plane, or clear their own paths is a bias from living in a stable planetary system, but much of the planetary systems and indeed much of the universe doesn’t have the stability that exists in this local area, it’s especially the case in younger planetary systems as well as much older ones.

Also many planets in the universe don’t even have stars, they are rogue, scattered throughout the darkness between the stars.

How can anyone say that an Alien archeologist would make the same minimalist assumptions that humans have made as opposed to making their own assumptions about the muscle and cartilage structures based on the creatures they’re familiar with or current creatures alive on earth at the time.
