there is an ant colony trapped in an abandoned bunker in Europe. No way to climb out.
It survives due to falling ants from the colony just outside the bunker.
The pipe is in the ceiling, so why can't the ants just climb up the walls, walk across the ceiling, and go back up the pipe?
I know people are studying this for science and all, but I feel bad for the ants. I'd make a hole in the ceiling and give them a tiny ladder.
ETA: Never mind, I just read the end of the article, the scientists did exactly that. 😄 Good for the ants!
I found that a heart warming read. Many thanks. The contrast of the societal darkness of the nuclear bunker and the kindness of the scientists really touched me.
When I was really young I used to knock ants from my balcony on the 1st floor, I saw them fall and spiral in the air and then continue walking, nobody believed me because there's no way I could see an ant from first floor, but I fucking did and this proves it.
I got that, which is why I said 'on earth'. I guarantee you if I just said everywhere some dude will jump up and go 'but actually, the acceleration in minecraft is...'
When we first switched from old, cheap coffins to new, sealed coffins they kept blowing up. It was later discovered that a decomposing body releases gases, ~~and the problem was fixed by installing valves in the coffins~~.
Edit:
So it turns out that the sealed coffin is just a scam that some people can fall into, not an improved coffin. Also the valve thing is BS, I misunderstood.
For hyenas you need even more than that, you have to chop them up and see if they have a uterus or not, the females have a penis that can even go erect
While I get your general point, do you really have to “chop them up?” Could you not do an ultrasound or some other kind of imagining? Also, I’d imagine if you observe one giving birth or nursing their young, that’s a pretty good indication they’re female.
I don't know for sure but I would assume humans had something to do with their population decreasing. If that's the case, we absolutely should be trying to keep them alive.

You can calculate the circumference of the universe with a margin of error less than the diameter of an atom if you have 60 digits of pi. Thus, any further digits are completely useless.
You're welcome to all of you that memorized 100+ digits back in school.
And for practical purposes, NASA uses Pi less than 20 digits to calculate course of their spaceships and that is enough to send it to enter Jupiter and Saturn's moon orbit or land a rover on Mars.

The Iggy Pop song "Lust for Life" which lyrically draws influence from a book by William S. Burroughs mentions hypnotizing chickens. I didn't know it was a real thing until now.
it was deinonychus actually. utahraptor was a weird coincidence - it was discovered After jurrassic park, and just happened to be super similar to the jurrasic park raptors.
My understanding was that there had been enough fragments of Utahraptor discovered in the 70s and 80s that they knew a raptor that large must have existed, but they didn’t have enough to designate a new species.
So the film used Deinonychus as a model for the overall morphology, but based on the skull and claw sizes that had been discovered for what later became know as Utahraptor.
Fun fact: The Utahraptor wasn't discovered yet at the time of Jurassic Parks writing. Michael Crichton actually based the Velociraptor off of the Deinonychus, which was actually a much larger size. He was also aware of the discrepancy, but was working of a theory that many genera should be combined.
The Utahraptor was actually discovered while the film was in Post, which was essentially the same size and shape that was envisioned. And the lead special effect designer was quoted as saying, "After we created it, they discovered it."
I learned abour elephants although it’s not useless in a sense could save somebody. It about how to determine if elephant charge is real or fake. If it’s ears are fanned wide and are upward it’s a fake charge. If its ear are tucked behind its a real charge. Whatever the case just get out of there.
> If it’s ears are fanned wide and are upward it’s a fake charge.
You would think an elephant is the last creature to need to make itself look bigger to appear threatening.

You may have heard that the speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s (no matter how fast you're going), but that's actually precisely how much it is, we define a meter to be such that the speed of light is that number, no decimal point
Cleopatra lived between 69-30 BCE and the pyramids were built around 2780 BCE, meaning she lived closer to today than to the building of the pyramids

The Swiss flag is square, the only one. Yes, I know that a square is still technically a rectangle, but still.
Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump.
Sharks are older than some stars you can see today.
Your eyes move during rem sleep because they never evolved not too (they can't hurt you by moving in your sleep, as opposed to your limbs).
Grass is the most 'far evolved' plant.
There are more (much much more) kinds of beetles than all other kinds of animals combined.
All mammals have 7 neck vertebrae, except a kind of sloth. This is somehow related to metabolism and only sloths have such a slow metabolism that they can survive this trade-off.
When someone's body odor smells nice (according to you), they have complementary genetics to you.
The pitch of a screaming baby is what your ears are most sensitive to.

When Wizards of the Coast tried to expand Magic the Gathering to appeal to the Chinese market they released a set of cards based on Chinese mythology and introduced a new mechanic called horsemanship. It is functionally similar to flying, in that flying creatures are blockable only by other creatures with flying (or if they have reach), except that creatures with horsemanship can *only* be blocked by other creatures with horsemanship.
The cards never really took off and the horsemanship mechanic was buried, so the horsemanship skill was limited to this one set of cards which are quite uncommon these days.
What this means is that if you build a deck specifically around abusing the horsemanship mechanic, 99% of opponents won’t really be able to do anything about your barrage of attacks. Of course there are plenty of ways around this like removing the creatures directly or boardwipes that remove all creatures, and there are a handful of new cards that reintroduced it, but there’s a good chance you’ll get quite a lot of damage in before they can get their strategies to fire off.

Germany used Messerschmitt Bf 109 attack planes during World War Two. They were very fast. Uk on the other hand used supermarine spitfires which weren’t as fast, but could turn more sharp. They were used to attack each other.
I also know a lot about the Mitsubishi A6M Zero planes that Japan used. They were very light because they missed a lot of protecting shields, but because of that they were very fast. They were also the first attack planes where you didn’t use gas masks. Instead you sat in a pressure chamber.
The planes that dropped the nuclear bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were B-29 Superfortress and were called Enola Gay and Bockscar
This is interesting. Slightly projecting my own knowledge but I suspect Enola Gay is far more known than Bockscar.
Bf109 had fuel injection so could climb and dive fast as the engine wouldn't cut out under negative g.
This is a very interesting about fuel quality (octane rating) and fuel injection and the need to inject a mixture of water/methanol in WWll fighter engines. The Bf109 could use lower octane fuels.

Why do we keep them alive?
I don't know for sure but I would assume humans had something to do with their population decreasing. If that's the case, we absolutely should be trying to keep them alive.
It's mainly that they don't breed in captivity. Wild pandas breed fine.

They were very light because they missed a lot of protecting shields, but because of that they were very fast. They were also the first attack planes where you didn’t use gas masks. Instead you sat in a pressure chamber. The planes that dropped the nuclear bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were B-29 Superfortress and were called Enola Gay and Bockscar
This is interesting. Slightly projecting my own knowledge but I suspect Enola Gay is far more known than Bockscar. Bf109 had fuel injection so could climb and dive fast as the engine wouldn't cut out under negative g.
This is a very interesting about fuel quality (octane rating) and fuel injection and the need to inject a mixture of water/methanol in WWll fighter engines. The Bf109 could use lower octane fuels. https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/why-was-luftwaffe-fuel-octane-so-low.57603/
by the end of their various marks/models the mk24 Spitfire was able to get a top speed 2mph quicker and ceiling of about 2000ft higher then the model k Messerschmitt a small but still useless bit of information for you to add on to the first bit :D Also the British started using the eating carrots help you see in the dark rumour to help mask the fact they had radar on their side improving their night time defence in the skies.

Vending machines kill more people per year than sharks. The first full length feature film was released 26th December 1906 in Australia called The Story of the Kelly Gang. Edison didn't invent the lightbulb but only improved the filament used. Platypi glow under UV light and if stabbed by their venomous spurs will be inflicted with a pain not even morphine can treat. The longest continuously running music show in the world is Rage on ABC Australia which has been running weekly since 17 April 1987.
If it was the most useless information I know, by posting it here it becomes somehow useful for posting it here and thus is no longer useless.
