Reply to TIL: Moray eel is the only known vertebrae to use its second set of jaws to both restrain and transport prey. by Folklorian_13
The title almost makes it sound as though lots of vertebrates have a second set of jaws but they all use them for something other than restraining and transporting prey. Like, for playing harmonica or chew gum.

Reply to comment by biscovery in Lawsuit claims mini bottles of Fireball Cinnamon don’t actually contain whisky by TheAngryBlackGuy
People that want to drink all night and brag about finishing off a bottle themselves, people that like the taste and don’t need the buzz to get all the way to falling down drunk, people that can’t be bothered to mix a drink and don’t want to do shots of straight liquor, etc. See there’s no accounting for taste - just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean that no one should. No one I’ve ever known is buying Fireball because they want a half decent whiskey or even a shitty flavored whiskey. They buy it because it’s cheap and easy.

She booked a black performer and was told not to do it again. Of course, being Betty White, she did.

Honestly for me, masses and distances and numbers that big are beyond comprehension. The article could give any number and I probably wouldn’t argue it.

While that's a lot of dust, I think it's a net loss annually considering how much of the atmosphere we lose to space every day.

Reply to TIL that in 1914, the suffragette Mary Richardson walked into the National Gallery in the UK and attacked Velázquez's painting “Rokeby Venus” with a meat cleaver. by DrFolAmour007
Are these types of stunts/attacks done just to increase the chances of their message being heard or do people target specific works of art because they somehow relate to their message?

Reply to TIL one bite of the beaked sea snake that is fully loaded has the ability to kill 52 men and only three drops of their toxic venom have the ability to kill eight people! Without treatment, the venom will kill a person within eight hours. by johndurairaj1
It would take about eight seconds to kill me, since I already swim like a stone and being bitten by a sea snake means I’m going to freak out and drown almost instantly.
