"comrade In Arms" Yeah I Bet He Was In Your Arms. Every Night. Fruit

So i'm a biology student, and a lot of the time, the technical language is actually so that the scientific research is understandable to a WIDER audience.

For example, in chemistry, there is a verry specific system in how you name molecules. To people who are not scientists, it will sound like wordvomit. However, to other scientists its 100% understandable. And because everyone around the world uses the same vocabulary, research papers can be uses by everyone to help with THEIR research, so its way easier to educate yourself AS a scientists and to find evidence supporting your work (or showing that its wrong).

If you're not a scientist and you care about the research, that's what science journals are for. They take the research and put it into common words so that you dont have to have a degree in nomenclature to understand whats going on.

The whole “scientists use big words on purpose to be exclusive” is such a bunch of anti-intellectual bullshit. Specific and concise language exists for a reason; you need the right words to convey the right meaning, and explaining stuff right is a hugely important part of science. Cultures that live around loads of snow have loads of words to describe different types of snow; cultures that live in deserts have loads of words to describe different types of sand. Complex language is needed for complex meaning.

This is so true. I had a REALLY bad phone addiction & was unable to watch TV at all. Now i can watch multiple 45 min star trek episodes (they're low stimulation to me) in a row without it feeling boring or exhausting. We have to train our brains.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

Sex is a spectrum and it is influenced by SO many genetic, hormonal and environmental Factors

“The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that.”

I feel like a lot of people don't realize that studying science is connected to a lot of vocabulary.

Scientific language has its own words, rules and meanings and you have to first understand those rules and the vocabulary before you can actually understand WHAT you're studying.

You can look at a page for 5 hours- if you don't understand the name of the Protein or Molecule or Variable and the reason they are named the way they are, you won't understand the science!

So to anyone who's thinking about studying science or wants to simply understand it better, view it as a foreign language! Learn the rules and Vocabulary!

first day on tumblr, have already seen dick against my will

Happy aniversary you dumb fucks @staff

me watching hollow knight videos every day but people dont know its a hyperfixation/special interest because i dont yap about it

no, i dont lose hyperfixations. theyre just moved to a different, slightly less used, shelf in my brain.

I had an amazing Biology teacher who we all assumed was a failed scientists.

He was OBSESSED with mushrooms.

He once randomly whipped out a bunch of champignons that he bought at the supermarket next door and continued yapping about them for 30 mins straight.

Our chapter was the processing of optical signals.

Paleontologist: I became a paleontologist because dinosaurs are cool

Astronomer: I became an astronomer because space is cool

Chemist: I became a chemist because explosions are cool

Archeologist: I became an archeologist because Indiana Jones is cool

Mycologist: I. Fucking. LOVE. Mushrooms.

Paleontologist: Uh…

Mycologist: IWillLiterallyMurderYouJustSoICanWatchFungiBreakDownYourDecayingRemainsDon’tTestMeBoneBoy

California galls, they’re undeniable, Round plant growths, created by wasps. Quercus[1] represent, now put your wings up. Ooh oh ooh, ooh oh ooh.

You could travel the world, But nothing comes close to the Andricus[2], Once you’re forming a gall, you’ll be falling in love. Ooh oh ooh, ooh oh ooh.

[1] Oak genus that the California gall wasps induce galls in [2] Califonia gall wasps are Andricus quercuscalifornicus

Biologist here, it depends on HOW her hair works.

Does it still actively use the light as its power comes from the sun? And if yes, does the haircolor affect the absorbation of the light?Or is it only important that the hair isnt damaged/destroyed.

Lets just assume it can repair itself to a degree (otherwise stuff like split ends wouldve ended it long ago). How far can that go? Cutting seems to destroy it, so lets assume that for some reason, the hairs act like one big cell that gets destroyed by cutting.

Small attacks to its outer side will propably be able to be repaired, however damage that is done on wide areas will propably not be tolerated.

This brings me to the conclusion that stuff like bleach will destroy her power because of the structural destruction. Same goes for perms.

However, if it is true that the hair does not need to actively use the sun, semi permanent hairdye shouldnt be a problem and permanent hairdye could also be fine as long as youre careful and make sure the damage isnt too intense.

Having my nightly ADHD moment so bear with me:

If Rapunzel were to dye her hair, would the chemicals affect the magical properties of her hair?

This is taking into account the fact that her magic derives from the sun essentially, which then becomes a flower. Taking those chemicals into account, if we were to interact those chemicals with the chemicals of hair dye combined with hair as is, I’m just wondering what the effects would be.

I’m no chemist; in fact I almost failed chemistry. So if someone who knows chemistry could help me out here that’d be great!

EDIT: my discord friends are bringing up great points such as hair damage and how it varies.
