The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

  • What is a tip, fact, or piece of information that you want to share?

  • https://blogs.iu.edu/sciu/2023/05/06/the-longest-sperm-on-earth/

    Apparently the female seminal receptacle is also very long. In fact, the increasing length of this receptacle is one of the explanations for the extreme sperm length.

    Drosophila females have evolved to fertilize their eggs with particularly long sperm. Only large, healthy males are able to produce large quantities of gigantic sperm, and if a female reproduces with healthy males, her offspring will have genes that make them healthy, too.

  • Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I'm not alone.

  • This shit gets me all the time.. '97 is 27 years ago. 27. Checks math, yes.. 27. Surely not? Feels like it's 10 years or so. Checks math.. no, 27.

  • In The Eagles song "Take It Easy" the first verse states he has 7 women on his mind, later he is admiring a girl in Winslow, Arizona...maybe another girl isn't what this guy needs.

    Jump

  • Recently learned it's actually "Eagles", not "The Eagles". (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)But even the band themselves will use "the" when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.

  • What game do you play to just chill?

    Jump

  • Not a city builder / house builder, but Planet Zoo might scratch that itch. Takes a bit to really learn the building mechanics, but people can build amazing things in it.

  • "Hints" is another name for "charades"
