How interesting! 👍

Would you please stop blaring out my secret drunk-survival-strategies like this?!

More recent research suggests that this isn’t true. Woodpeckers don’t show any evidence of shock absorption (and doing so would make their pecking less effective); they’re instead protected from concussion simply by having much smaller brains.

Why is bike a part of that sentence? Could have just said internal helmet. Don't even look like a bike helmet.

I had to read the title a couple times to understand that you weren't talking about Woodpecker from Mars by Faith No More

The more interesting thing is the linked article doesn't actually have anything to do with whether or not the physiology is shock absorbing lol it's about the tau link between Alzheimer's/CTE and woodpeckers having tau deposits. The article suggests the tau may be a protective mechanism and not just evidence of brain damage and needs further study

It's 1,000-2,000g.

I don't care how small the brain is. Something has to be protecting it from shaking.

It's the most relatable kind of helmet to most demographics

A bike helmet? Are you sure it isn't a Ski helmet?

always be careful with commas, your numbers can be read as 1g or 1000g

It's an American thing. We use commas instead of periods.

thats what I mean

TIL woodpeckers do mewing

I am not American, but it is simply better to use a period as a decimal point and commas as place separators. A period ends a sentence, it should end a whole number. A comma separates sections of a sentence, it should separate place values in a number.
