They don’t even kill them, they just scare them off their boats using ‘fear as a weapon’.

Please sir, resting bitch face is a serious affliction.

Bonus fact: after getting out of this tree he quickly zoomed to a second tree, which he also climbed.

Hey, didn’t that woman on the left had cancer or something? Wonder how she’s doing…

Omg I know that brand, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine last weekend. Did you get a matching hoodie as well? The pictures of the dog/human combos both wearing the same colours are just astonishingly perfect.

In my opinion, it’s always been about determinism and convergent evolution. Determinism states that if the cards were reshuffled and evolution were to take place again from the beginning, more or less the same would happen. There wouldn’t be sentient octopuses or hive mind ants controlling the planet, because there are simple evolutionary pressures giving rise to features that eventually lead to more or less bipedal apes.

This hooks into convergent evolution. This is about the fact that features like wings and eyes were so successful in terms of evolution they actually evolved independently of each other multiple times. Eyes evolved in different lineages and evolutionary pathways around 65 times during the history of earth. This indicates that simple evolutionary pressures (like needing to look around) will always end up with something that is a lens based retinal pigmented organ. This deterministic view of evolution leads many to believe that on another planet that looks like earth, inhabitants will look like us due to the rules and constraints of evolution.

When you piss off a woman with a perm in your restaurant and ten minutes later several apache helicopters rain down hellfire on your establishment.

Both. Sometimes he hears us talking and comes screaming. But mostly we come and go together, except if he gets distracted and vanishes of course.

Thank you. So many people are still living with data from 1970 in their heads

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence.

Hah, the picture reminded me of my first time opening up my laptop. Also burnt through, like open flame and hell of a stench.

Are you taking static electricity into account? I would not be doing this on a woolen carpet haha. You could screw up your circuitry if you don’t have a grounded wire

Can one of our available scientists please confirm how much lbs a mussle can bench-press?

Set realistic goals

The first person to coin the word meme was Richard Dawkins in his book ‘the selfish gene’. He also postulates in the same chapter that religion is a particular form of a meme. So you’re one hundred percent correct!

You should read the book Superintelligence, it’s very interesting, and catches not only possibilities and limitations, also societal impact.

Kind of petty from Zuck not to roll it out in Europe due to the digital services act… But also kind of weird since it’s open source? What’s stopping anyone from downloading the model and creating a web ui for Europe users?

Eowyn, no

You might already know this, but letting cats play with loose pieces of rope is kind of dangerous. My friend had a really expensive cat operation because the lil guy ate the entire rope and it screwed up his intestines.

Super cute though.

Where does Annihilation fit in here? Pretty sure it’s both.
