Snakes only produce a small amount of venom and it takes days to replenish reserves. They have fine muscle control over how much venom they release and scientists have measured them releasing amounts of venom relative to the size of their target.

Not sure how aware they are of doing it but I wouldn’t be surprised with all of a viper’s sensory organs that they knew venom would go to waste on a prosthetic

I really need to change my online handle :(

I just left Niagara falls a few days ago and they are erecting barricades like they’re prepping for Canada to invade lol

In America it used to be you could just bribe your governor and they’d deploy the national guard to kill striking worker’s families like the Ludlow Massacre and the Battle of Blair mountain.

“Comcast is discontinuing its its “Xfinity 10G Network” branding to describe its internet service after a National Advertising Review Board (NARB) panel found that the term could mislead consumers into thinking that Comcast’s cellular and broadband services would offer much faster speeds than current-generation networks.”

Finally got it for the first time last week, tested positive on my wedding day 😭

Anecdotal but several of my friends claimed that psilocybin therapy restored their sense of smell.

YSK it could end up potentially costing you. For instance by agreeing to the McDonalds TOS when you launch the app you are waiving your right to sue.

I think Michael Moore really nailed it with “Human molotov cocktail”

Well TIL, I always thought that executive orders were a way to bypass Congress. I know that there was a Democratic Congress in 1971, I wonder why they rubber stamped that for Nixon.

That has never stopped presidents before. In response to inflation in 1971 President Nixon issued an executive order making it illegal to raise prices for several months and before him FDR went even farther with rationing and controlling wages.

Inflation is actually super easy to control. You just need to be willing to threaten business leaders with serious jail time.

Also the historically accurate answer according to the men in the room!

“You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon

The investment class realized it’s way more profitable to cellar box a struggling company and that you can short sell the stock and never have to pay up when the company goes bankrupt. Free money!

Vegan from protein shakes lol

Brave Robot! I tried it recently, it was good!

Lemmygrad doesn’t tolerate hate speech, I browse it and the only “hate speech” I see is against fascists and landlords
