The deceased person’s body will turn splotchey and cherry red. A lot of people go via nitrous or carbon monoxide. The blood vessels don’t like it.

I have one of these stereoscopes! It came with a bunch of nature scenes, but a few slides had 1800s 3D porn too!

I was wondering why it seemed inverted to me. I saw crevasses instead of mountains, but it didn’t make sense

This is the epitome of why I love science. It’s all about keeping an open mind, because things WILL change as we gather more evidence and study it. I was sharing paleontological facts with my family (who are politically conservative), and because the data is different from the first time they learned about raptors, they refused to believe me. It made so many things make sense. We literally have proof that dinos had feathers, but they didn’t want to believe it.

If someone’s favorite subject in school was science related, I want to be their friend. Everyone here, you’re awesome. Let’s keep learning, growing, and making silly memes about it 😁

I’m a postmortem scientist and one of the scariest things I learned in college, was that only 85% of gun suicide attempts were successful. The other 15% survive and nearly all have brain damage. I only know of 2 painless ways to commit suicide, that don’t destroy the body’s appearance, so they can still have funeral visitation.

I cosplay as Aayla Secura , so I’m a bit biased, but I love Kit Fisto too. He’s just this wise, badass (but peaceful) Jamaican, squid-dude; voices by Phil LaMarr; and has the cheekiest smile when he knocks down the C3P0 Frankenstein Droid. He watches over and provides guidance for Ahsoka and it doesn’t hurt that he’s ripped… and I think the species works better in The Clone Wars… he just seems happy to be a jedi and helping people.

I’m a bit biased, but this dog has saved my life countless times. He learned how to detect my seizures, on his own, and I haven’t collapsed or injured myself from a seizure since. This is Avalanche. He’s by my side 24/7 and since I’m a cosplayer, he is too!

Thank you! I didn’t realize part of the joke was hidden on my app.

My neighbor HATES me because I’ve been converting my backyard into clover. We have fireflies, Butterflies, bees, bunnies, all sorts of wildlife. It smells beautiful, but we are an oasis amongst upper-middle class lawn zombies… Mowing, edging, pesticide spraying, weed killing zombies.

Meanwhile, I have milkweed, clover, chive, snapdragons, black eyed susans, grapes, raspberries, lilac, echinacea, chamomile, lavender, hydrangea, coreopsis, and salvia. I welcome wasps that eat pests, I buy bags of ladybugs, I compost… I’m really trying. It’s only 1/4 an acre, but I’m trying.

I’m terribly confused and would like sources for this statement. I have a medical science degree; and none of my main sources, peers, or anyone in the Endometriosis community mentioned statistics remotely close to that… and I researched it thoroughly because I also had severe PMDD.

It was a wonderful, easy, low-pain, and simple procedure, which gave me my life back… and I was on my feet shortly after. I swear by it, and am severely immunocompromised, so anything healing related that can go wrong will go wrong; yet I’m great, years later, and so so happy.

The main risks mentioned: Periods coming back, bleeding, infection, harder to detect cancer, and (ironically) sterilization.

Could there be another medical procedure that was in mind?

My mom constantly told me I was a mistake… that I should have been aborted. We were poor, miserable, and despite me trying my best, she never seemed happy with me.

After that, I vowed I would NEVER have a kid. I made her so miserable. I’m open to fostering, but I’d never bring a whole, new human into this world.

You’re not wrong for wanting to avoid a situation because of the potential of screaming children, but it’s important to remember that, with parents, it’s a package deal. To avoid overstimulation, try and go to a park for the first meeting. Like get coffee and go to a place with a playground where the toddler can run wild, and the 6 month can be in a stroller or rocker. Being outside vs bring in a building where screams can echo, makes a big difference.

Something that helps me hang-outs with my friends who have kids, is remembering that screaming children are inevitable… but most of the time, I’m not enjoying the company of my friends alongside the random, misbehaving ones. This time, you can make a friend.

During the huge fires in Australia in 2019/2020, the Kangaroo Island “Pelican” Assassin Spider vanished because their entire habitat burned. Only 2 have been seen since the fire… but none in the last 4 years.

But no, no, climate change isn’t real… humans totally aren’t the problem…

Assassin spiders have been here for 135 million years, and now they’re being annihilated in the only 3 places the entire planet they still cling to life.

I don’t even like most spiders, but I saw scientists risking their lives to try and save insects and arachnids that only existed in those parts of Australia, because no one would try to help them, like they would a cute Joey. No one cared. I knew I needed to spread the word, so every time posts like this come up, I mention the Pelican Spider. It’s absolutely HORRIFYING to look at, but it deserves to live and be safe

Yes please cause FUCK the “women don’t have pain receptors down there”… IUDs and Cervical Cancer cancer biopsies are the 3rd and 4th most painful experiences I’ve ever had.

#2 is spinal tap, #1 is a labiaplasty… mine was medically necessary, but I want to scream at everyone who feels they need a labiaplasty to feel beautiful… 1 year of pain, 6 months without orgasms, so many complications, I screamed so loudly they had to sedate me again because I was TERRIFYING people in the hospital. It hurt so badly I thought death was preferable.

Wtf?! My doctor suggested Endometrial Ablation and it was PHENOMENAL. Yeah, they put an electrical net inside of my uterus and burned the shit out of me, but it was a one time thing and it stopped my periods, PMDD, mood swings, and lessened the chance of my Endometriosis coming back. More women need to do this. I’m so so happy.

And now I’m reminded that I will forever be teased by the New Zealand side of my family… 😅

I found a photo showing how large Kiwi can get, before we went to see them at the Te Puia Geothermal Park, and I was SHOCKED.

“Shel, how big did you think they were?”

I put my hands up🫸🫷to the size of a robin

“I don’t know… bird sized”

“Bird sized? … you’re gonna lose your shit when you see a ostrich”

😐😑😐🙄😮‍💨

I don’t think you’re old enough to remember Neopets, but the Neopets community is the most wholesome, friendly, accepting, and generous forum I’ve ever been a part of. It’s on reddit, but is the only reddit community I’m a part of. The website is still fully functional with all the original 2000/2010s elements and its my happy place.

I make nipple pasties as a hobby and love it! I specialize in blacklight reactive ones 😁

I don’t know why people are still surprised by this… it’s irresponsible to be giving birth, right now, unless someone is in a good place financially. Healthcare costs are ridiculous, houses are too expensive, jobs are basically all automated or outsourced to save CEOs money, and the world in general, is going to shit.

I got my fallopian tubes removed. If I change my mind about wanting kids, I’ll adopt a teen whose been in the foster system for a while. Someone already on this earth. We don’t need more new babies. There’s hundreds of thousands of children in our current foster system who would love a home.
