A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Deleting my posts about domains, because it does look like this dataset is the underlying source.
It’s obvious that they didn’t bother studying the data in any kind of detail, however.

It might be based on the US Census Bureau data. "Svalbard, Jan Mayen Island" is in that dataset. As is "Heard and McDonald Islands" - with the penguin's seasonally adjusted imports and exports shown.

It's been almost a year since my now 3 yo experienced his first total solar eclipse. He talks about it every day and repeats the little skit I used to teach him what a solar eclipse is. Advanced topics can be explained to a 2 year old. Introducing the world of science early is important. 🧪🥽🍎👩🔬🧬⚛️☀️🌑

Klingons are portrayed as evolved super-predators with the instincts of an ambush hunter, yet the dishes we see them eating are live worms & blood puddings, making them closer to a burrowing insectivore like the garden mole, as confirmed by dentition.

Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly.
Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time?
So, I visualized it myself!

It's really mind bending to think that a few centuries ago, people didn't think hot=big number and cold=small number.
Under his scale, water froze at 100 degrees and boiled at 0. Yes, it was originally inverted.
Shortly after his death in 1744 at the young age of 43, the scale was inverted so 0 was the freezing point of water, 100 was the boiling point.

Fun polio fact: it is asymptomatic in 70% of cases.
In 29.5% of the cases symptoms do appear, they are gastrointestinal distress, normal enterovirus stuff.
Polio only displays neurological symptoms in 0.5% of cases.
You don't remember polio, you only remember *longpolio*

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳
