somebody should make a version of the very hungry caterpillar about achilles and call it the very angry achilles and it can be about all the people/things he fought
“on monday achilles fought one river, but he was still angry”
“on tuesday achilles pierced through two trojans, but he was still angry”
on wednesday achilles dragged hector around the walls three times, but he was still angry”
IMAGINE HEARING ABOUT THE DUDEBRO LIVING NEXT TO U IN THE DORMS “yah dave dropped out cuz he built a fucking person”
victor frankenstein was a little bITCH and he had no degree at all, he was at college for like, a year and then he was like “lol these bitches ain’t got nothing on me” and he just got an apartment and stopped going to school so he could build a person. i don’t think he even formally dropped out, he just kind of disappeared and nobody even questioned it because that’s what you expect when some cocky asshole comes to class like “i know more than everyone in this school and one day i’m going to prove it by ending dEATH ITSELF”
fucking bullshit victor, come home and eat some goddamn soup you wussass teenager
fucking trashass motherfucker 19 year old sin machine
go get ur liver pecked by birds u mess of a human being
i am never going to let the world forget that victor frankenstein spent 90% of the novel moping instead of doing literally anything else. actual quote from emo kid victor frankenstein “my only solace was silence – deep, dark, deathlike silence” like HOW EXTRA
Guys did I ever tell you about the time I completely accidentally ruined a professionally made campaign for Dungeons and Dragons thanks to a single roll
Please explain
Ok so we had to fight our way to the bottom of a castle to stop a group of cultists from summoning an Orc god to the world and we got there and the ritual was already going so I ran up to the god, who had already begun to manifest, and cast Finger of Death, which kills any target I touch if they fail a Fortitude roll. Since he was a god, he had a good constitution and would have certainly survived
Except the DM rolled a 1
and the god exploded
Honestly this is the best addition I’m gonna get to this post so thank you
Fun fact: I thought ubiquitin was made up for a long time because it was such a ridiculous name that I assumed it was one of those made up non specific names that professors use on exams
ever since i learned about sonic hedgehog i realized that nobody was ever kidding about protein names
Ladies and Gentlemen (and others) I give you:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Other fun proteins include:
Kinase Kinase Kinase Kinase
CHEAPDATE
Spaghetti Squash
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY IS THE WORST
This one is solidly on the biochemists and the fly geneticists. For once it’s not the molecular biologists fault.
The fly geneticists always seem to come up with the weird stuff. Like the many strains of flies named after vegetables.
Speaking of fly genes:
Sevenless Son of sevenless Bride of sevenless Seven in abstentia
Because every group of related genes should read like a short and tragic family drama
Can we also talk about JAK1 and JAK2 of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which were originally named “Just Another Kinase” before their importance was understood?
Can someone calculate for me the volume of loch ness in liters so I can figure out how many humans you’d need to drink it
Ok I had to search a bit, but it’s apparently 7,448,160,000,000 liters? this is a problem, the upper limit of the average human stomach is just four liters, and even then that’s a very uncomfortable amount of water to have in there. Which means there aren’t enough humans on this planet to drink all of loch ness
what if they drank their fill and then peed it out somewhere where the liquid wouldn’t just run back into loch ness? Then they could go back and drink more the next morning. How many days would that take? Would we end up with a new loch made entirely of pee? Loch piss?
possibly, but thats not taking rainfall into account and the amount of water fed into it every day by the River Oich
The upper limit for the human stomach is about 4 liters. It takes the human body about 45 to 60 minutes to absorb/expel 1 liter of water (for the sake of this math problem just go with 60 (1 hour).
An average person sleeps 8 hours.
An average person spends about 3 hours eating (1 hour for each meal of the day)
A day is 24 hours.
1 person alone: 572 billion days or all 7.3 billion people just 78.5 days, roughly. Assuming no one died of e coli or something.
this is good, but again, this doesn’t take rainfall or the river oich into account. It would have to be done during a dryer season in scottland and the river would need to be dammed.
There is no dryer season in Scotland though. It hasn’t stopped raining since Roman times.
You might need a second team of people to hold umbrellas over the drinking people.
the rain would still drip off the umbrellas and into the loch, this is gonna be a problem… someone calculate the annual rainfall over Scotland, can 7 billion people outdrink it?
The western Highlands, where Loch Ness is located, is one of the rainiest places in Europe, with a yearly average rainfall of 4,577 millimeters (12.54 millimeters a day). Loch Ness’ surface area is 56 square kilometers. If it rains 12.54 millimeters every day, then Loch Ness will gain 702,240 cubic meters (over 700 million liters) of water per day. Everyone will have to drink 0.1 extra liters of water to keep up.
that sounds doable! our goal is now clear
ok but why tho?
if you can think of a better way to find Nessie I’d love to hear it
