I’m genuinely surprised the company actually bothered to put any belladonna in the water in the first place.

It is amazing what the power of ONE MOLECULE can have!! /s <— naturally!

Holy shit my existence is so insignificant. 

That’s actually God opening his eye shortly after saying “Let there be light!™” and then watching his Creation unfold.

That’s neat, having teeth on the rostrum. I’ll have to dig around and see how similar to the mandibular teeth they are. They must be derived from placoid scales, but I can’t recall seeing anything like this in other chondrichthyans.

I wonder if this early version didn’t have a central message that basically said “Hey, both sides! You victims are equally to blame for your suffering as the people who betrayed and hurt you and continue betraying and hurting you to this day!

“I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human,” Redfield told CNN correspondent Sanjay Gupta

Eh,... Until we reach a point that we know what happened (if we ever actually do) his opinion as an expert has some value if it is consistent with the facts. Discussing his beliefs without talking about ballpark probabilities is irresponsible.

Having struck out on any evidence that cell phone radiation itself is physically harmful, some creative souls are now claiming that it’s the fact that the radiation contains encoded information that is the danger. The brain can detect the regularity of the modulation or something, and gets frustrated that it can’t…

What does any of your babbling have to do with the story?

Luckily for me, my tin foil hat protects me from them 5G death beams!

Are you familiar with the overall dumbness of Americans?

their design is capable of generating 5 volts of power

I think scientists have always disliked the “living fossil” moniker, precisely because it implies stasis and encourages creationists. The truth was always that the living species were distinct, palaeontologists never thought otherwise. They’ve had 60 million years of subsequent evolution.

I don’t think this article really understands what a “living fossil” is, at least in reference to the coelacanth.

Well, if we are defining evolution as “change in gene frequency within a population over time” then, yes this evolved.
